Fantasy Bookshelf Tour Part 1 | 2024 | Older Classic Fantasy 

Hi Kathi. My parents were immigrants who were very poor. They couldn't buy me any books. I'd ask for a dollar for school and whenever they could give me I'd save it. Until I had $20-30 to buy a book. I mention this because your book library is my goal. Now, in my 20s, I have one maybe 6ft by 2 feet book shelf full and I love looking at all the books I've amassed. But one day I'll have as many as you, God willing. Thank you for sharing your collection with us ❤ books are a joy. 😊 (I subbed)

OMG! SOMEONE FINALLY HAS JENNIFER FALLON ON THEIR SHLEVES! this makes me so happy. i tell everyone (who asks for the recommendation) about Jennifer Fallon being one of the best Hi-Fantasy authors out there. You are literally the only booktuber I have ever seen with her books on a shelf. It really makes me sad that I will never get to see her and get one of my books signed by her. I would probably have to go to Australia just for her signature 😂

So many books I have never heard of before. 👀 I love the old fantasy covers.

Kathi your shelves and personality are lovely.

Those actual shelves are beautiful. Your collection is something else! Whew, I listened while I was finishing up a thankless work project. Cannot wait...but must...to retire. ❤

So many books and so little time. The tbr only gets bigger. Best wishes.

A lot of new authors for me to explore. Thanks so much Kathy, this was excellent! ❤

I love bookshelf tours!

i love the cover art on a lot of the books you showed.

Beautiful collection. So happy to see the Axis Trilogy and the Warefare Redemption there. They are one of my favourite books.

Interesting book collection, out of the beaten path.

Wow, it had to be a lot of work to put this video together. I have really enjoyed seeing your gorgeous bookshelves and their contents.

Ooh Kathi. I love the library and hope one day to have that in my home. Enjoyed this so much!

WOW Kathi, great collection! You even have the Thomas Covenant books , sorry to have left those behind in one of my moves. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to capture cool covers😃📚

Hi Kathi, what an amazing collection! I loved seeing your books and got lots of ideas of fantasy books to try. Thank you so much for doing this video, I bet it took a while displaying each book individually. Thank you! I feel like doing some ‘book shopping’ now… ❤

Great collection. Of course, I’m going to say that as I see a lot of overlap with mine 😆. I’m looking forward to seeing if some of the notable gaps (in books by an author or other Australian fantasy authors) are in your hardcover and trade collection 🙂

I’m a big fan of Morgan Llywelyn. I’m not familiar with Silverhand or the coauthor, so I can’t comment on that one, but back in the day I grabbed up any book I could find from her in the used bookshops. Digging back in my memories, the novels Bard and Red Branch immediately come to mind. I think I’ll have to put some Llywelyn back on my TBR to reread. Thanks for unlocking those memories for me! lol

I wish I had the discipline to read that many books , beautiful collection

Hi Kathi. Oh my goodness ... this bookshelf tour was a walk down memory lane for me! So many authors that were my introduction to fantasy back in the late 70's and onwards. Beginning of course with Anne McCaffrey and her Pern books. Then there's David Eddings which is a series that I adore. Melanie Rawn's books are another favourite. I am reading my way through Jennifer Fallon's books, a series a year. Stumbled on her a few years ago and was able to collect all of her books in hardback ... well, most of them anyways. It's been a few years now since she's released anything and I'm hoping there will be more from her. I love Robin Hobbs books and have read most of them. I use to read Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books too but eventually stopped reading them when I found them becoming a bit repetitive. Magic's Pawn was my favourite trilogy in the series. I love Raymond Feist and Janny Wurts Daughter of the Empire series too!! I've read L.E. Modest Jr's Spellsong Cycle books and I think he wrote a sequel to the series focusing on Anna's daughter ... but I'm a bit fuzzy on the details there. Anne Rice wrote a sequel to The Mummy a few years ago because that book was so popular and people kept asking her for a followup. And lastly .... Patricia Kennealy (Morrison). Her books were amazing and I was always so annoyed that she never wrote more of them even though she had plans to do so. She was mostly focused on documenting her relationship with Jim Morrison and was waiting for his poems and music to be free of copywrite to do so. Sadly she passed away almost three years ago but I do have nine fantasy books by her in total and I cherish them. I can't wait for your hardback fantasy video Kathi. My own library is packed up right now because we're moving in June and I miss it so much so exploring your shelves was an extra pleasure. Not to mention seeing authors and books that don't get mentioned at all on most booktubers channels. Thank you for doing all the work to film this for us. Note: I'm crazee4books on Instagram where you can see a short video of my own library before it got packed up. Cheers!!

What a wonderful collection of fantasy books!! Thanks for the awesome book tour - was a total trip down memory lane. Yeah -- I get a little tired of the younger book tubers (the ones in their 20s and 30s) where Robert Jordan is the starting point and everything else is ancient, I guess. So, love seeing stuff pre-Wheel of Time era. A little surprised you didn't have Lord of the Rings on your shelf (although technically I guess Tolkien published LOR in the mid 50s). He was so far ahead of his time. I was also hoping you had some Jack Vance on your bookshelf. He's my favorite author. He is mostly a sci-fi author but has a few epic fantasy books (although he's a little earlier as Dying Earth was mostly published in the 60s, although he did do some Dying Earth books in the 80s and also his excellent Lyonesse trilogy in the 80s.

But this Shelf it’s just…..perfect!

Amazing collection. Wow. Wonder if I should give the Crown of Stars series another try, I tried Book 1 King's Dragon but didn't vibe with it that much. Keeps coming up as a recommendation in series like A Song of Ice and Fire which I really like.

Read the Demon Cycle by Peter Brett. Loved it. You should definitely try it.

I wish I had bought those Star Wars paperbacks back than. But I was a Trekki back than and not so interests in Star Wars as I am today. Douglas Adams Hitchhiker Guide is on of my favorite, but its a Satire not a true science fiction book AND the story came first into his mind when he was hitchhiking through Europe and he was in my hometown and watched the stars in the night;.)) What a lot of work to position every single book to take a picture hope you had help.
