The knife that never letting go as a trilogy was so beautiful because encompasses our ability to not understand things, but to punish things we don't understand. The third book focuses more upon it in such a heartbreaking way. I absolutely loved the trilogy.

@literallyjane Год назад

The Knife of Never Letting Go is one of my favorite books of all time. The series is excellent. I'd love to see you do a deep dive video about it.

@missnewvillage Год назад

HarperCollins has published some of my favorite books and I hate that they took so long to negotiate with the union. It’s left me with a negative feeling about them honestly. I appreciate you refusing to review their books. It’s a very strong way to support the union workers. Also so cool that you’ve started a newsletter. I’ll sign up now!

@BrokenDarkFire Год назад

You taking about a book by Kate Daniels’s author book but also NOT LETTING YOURSELF TALK ABOUT IT is incredible and some of the best support of the hc Union I’ve heard. you are the only person I’ve ever heard talk about Kate Daniels and while I haven’t read any of the series, if I ever do, it will absolutely be because of you. And so you refraining from reviewing in support of the hc Union hits so hard and I hope it hits just as hard for other people.

@mynameismarines Год назад

I read this comment first thing when I woke up and it was a delight 😂 If the union passes the resolution HC proposed, I’ll get to tell you all about it!!

@BlancKxxx Год назад

Because of your love for Kate Daniel’s I ended up reading the entire series and loving it! Thank you for the recommendation :)

@sydneyrrobertson Год назад

The comp to the P. Djeli Clark novellas sold it to me! Loved those.

@nicoleglasson8615 Год назад

It's a really good comp. The other one that's pretty good that I've seen is that it's like season 5 of Supernatural crossed with Last Night at the Telegraph Club.

@illreadwhatshesreading Год назад

i get you about chaos walking being so stressful. when i read those books it took me so long to get through them. i got into such a funk when i finished those books.

@mynameismarines Год назад

I’ve been terrified to read book 3 for years 😅

@illreadwhatshesreading Год назад

@@mynameismarines but its so gooood too. def my favourite in the series.

@SarasBooksAndThings Год назад

Thank you for recommending How the Word is Passed by Clint Smith. I listened to it on audiobook and learned so much!

@Rebecca-bq9xs Год назад

Noooooo I am so interested in your thoughts on the Hidden Legacy-Series. Damn you, Harper Collins!

@SarahAsYouWish Год назад

I read The Knife of Letting Go series a few years back and really enjoyed it. Very few book make me cry, but this series did.

@bettyreads222 Год назад

Appreciate here you talking about The Knife of Never Letting Go, I read it ages ago and your thoughts reminded me of similar thoughts. I was so frustrated with the main character and also appreciated going through the series and seeing his struggles and growth.

@debbiegreen6706 Год назад

I’ve just added Nevermoor to my wish list, sounds absolutely charming ❤

@LiteratureScienceAlliance Год назад

I should be getting to even though I knew the end this month and hoping to also have a great time with it!

@BookChats Год назад

In my head I completely forgot Knife of Never Letting Go was a 3-4 star read for you. I think of it as 5 stars for you. I don't _love_ Todd bring awful but I understand Todd being awful and I could live with that but, and I know you disagree, but the book feels like it's driving you to such a place of hopelessness that I was like "nope, I am getting off this train of despair." Also it's too long to be only part 1 😄. But I'm glad you're doing a deep dive! What thoughtful content and it is kind of a book for our times. Plus it's like a YA book that is definitely YA but also engages the reader almost in an adult way with how much it asks of you.

@jkpiowa Год назад

I LOVE knife of never letting go! That series is amazing and I'd love to hear your thoughts on each book.

@angelamccollister Год назад

I almost bought How Far the Light Reaches this weekend. Picked two other non fiction books instead.

@danielaroscerocervantes9142 Год назад

This is the first video of yours I’ve watched and I LOVE how you talk about books. I’d heard of so many of these before, but you finally convinced me to put a few on my tbr! New subscriber, obviously…will be binging the content hahaha. Keep it up! ♥️

@Madam_Vader_Reads Год назад

Thank you! Always call people what they call themselves.

@mynameismarines Год назад

It’s basic respect!

@niksiever3135 10 месяцев назад

You are not alone! I also loved TKONLG. I did hate the animal cruelty in it though and because of that I’m not going to read the rest of the books in the series. I was traumatised by what happened to that sweet pup.

@emmakaren7459 Год назад

Would love it if you do a review of the chaos walking trilogy as a whole! Read the final two books in 2021 and I’d be so curious about your thoughts about it

@zephyr2167 Год назад

You really should read more of C.L. Polk's work! I've read all of her stuff and loved all of them. She does such a fun turn of the century style fantasy and most of her books are super queer. Highly recommend.

@nicoleglasson8615 Год назад

Hihi! I'm also a super big fan also! Just thought I'd let you know that Polk goes by they/them pronouns :) I'm so glad that more and more people are reading their stuff. I've loved everything they've put out so far. I think Soulstar might be my favourite just because of Robin Miles being such a spectacular VA but it's pretty damn close. What's yours?

@zephyr2167 Год назад

@@nicoleglasson8615 Oh I didn't know that. Thank you! I think Stormsong might be my favorite but it's very hard to pick. I also haven't read Even Though I Knew the End yet but I think it's next up on my tbr.

@LifeasMonae Год назад

I have the entire series for the knife of never letting go on my shelf and it has been sitting there forever. And until this review, I never knew what it was about I hope I pick up up soon.

@mynameismarines Год назад

It’s a lot! I just think it’s an excellent example of YA sci-if/dystopian. Hope you appreciate it if you get there!

@simulacraet2155 Год назад

I just picked up Magic Bites on your rec and omg SO fun! Now I need to pace myself cause I want to read all 10 immediately! Thank you 💕

@mynameismarines Год назад

I’m so glad to hear!! And it only gets better from book one. Let me know how it goes 🥰

@TheGoofy1932 Год назад

All of their series are excellent. I wish I could find another author equal to their consistent quality in the UF genre.

@piratagirl87 Год назад

I'm planning to continue reading Kate Daniels series, i read the first 4 books and I absolutely love them. Today I just started Naked in Death😍 and I am really excited, I'm enjoying it lots. New books for my wishlist, I am really intrigued about The knife of never letting go, Nevermoor and Burn for me

@jjoyeve Год назад

Ah! I just reread the whole Chaos Walking trilogy! You gotta get to book 3! Thematically, I find it's my favorite. I would LOVE to see a deep dive from you on the series. I've been lucky enough to find 2 people who loved book 1 as much as I did but they haven't continued the series!

@ruplayinggame3080 Год назад

I am just now reading Even Though I knew the End! It does have quite a specific atmosphere, am feeling intrigued by the magic and I quite love the characters! I added How Far the Light Reaches to my TBR, it sounds super intriguing!

@WildeBookGarden Год назад

I'm actually hoping to pick up How the Word is Passed this month as part of a yearly challenge; I've heard nothing but incredible things! And sneak peak of a future Not a Genre! pick, but I'll be reading The Knife of Never Letting Go this year too! I know EXACTLY what you mean about mystery / thrillers where the build-up is so good and then the solution is '....oh. okay.' lol

@BookishBobbi Год назад

Would you ever make a video on how you read so many books in a month? It would be useful to have some tips. The most books I've ever read in a month is 8, and that was only during lockdown when I wasn't working. How would you fit so much reading into a busy schedule?

@wonderfulkitty Год назад

Not a huge Anne Pachette fan tbh. I tried reading Commonwealth but had to put it down because of the strong racial omissions. One of the main characters is a white cop for the LAPD during the 60s. Pachette's dad was a police officer for the same department, and she comes across as fairly pro-police in interviews.

@sarahpowell6617 Год назад

Wow, SO any of these sound interesting, my TBR just got even longer!

@caitlingee Год назад

I love C.L Polk!

@jenb6043 Год назад

I just borrowed magic bites to give it a read. I hope I end up loving it as much as you do!

@courtneyheidenreich2818 Год назад

I've been on the fence about trying The Knife of Never Letting Go but I think you might have finally convinced me 😅 Specifically because there seems to be much more religious/cult theming than I realized? (one of my fave things to read about).

@matastrakova2179 11 месяцев назад

What´s with Harper Collins?

@TheGoofy1932 Год назад

Love that you're giving Ilona Andrews some much deserved love 😍. Yes, Magic Bites is not their best, but I'd pit their "not best" against Any other UF author Any day. I wish more You Tubers and Tik Tokers would talk about them (you and Mara-Books Like Woah are the only ones I hear talking about them regularly). They are Leagues better than author's like Maas, Clare, Armentrount, etc but who do I hear about constantly? 🤢🤮🤬

@yapdog Год назад

Geez... with the huge amount of books you read, you make me hang my head in shame. 😔 But I absolutely *demolish* you in the amount of C code I've written and the amount of fries I've eaten this year 😈! So, take _that,_ Marines! Yeah, yeah, I know it's not a competition. Just let me have this one, okay? 😅
