refreshing to see a booktuber that reads a reasonable amount. seems as though everyone does like 80-100+ now

“I haven’t thought about this book since reading it” - that’s a really interesting benchmark, and a good point that I haven’t heard that many people make.

Great video! I really trust your opinion! I read 66 books and my favorites were The Hero of Ages (Mistborn 2) and Before They Are Hanged (First Law 2). I’ll be working on finishing both series this year

[ThatAussieMum]

I had the same expectations of Elantris as you at first...but I ended up absolutely loving it!

[woodwest]

i didnt like the cradle series at first but my friend kept urging me on to keep going i ended up loving it

I'm actually more of a mass market paperback guy, but I decided to buy The Liveship Traders in hardcover, the dustjackets beautifully illustrated by John Howe, based solely upon you and some other booktubers' gushing about that series.

That's some rapid fire reviewing right there, we love to see it! Cassidy actually recommended The Collarbound to me after she had to read it for Booktube Bestie and I am halfway through and having a blast. Totally see why this wouldn't work for a lot of readers, but I am just reveling in the confusion hahah.
YAY for Liveships, Threadlight, WoR and LoLL!! Seems like you had some absolute bangers last year :)
Great video 🤩

I’m saving Justice of Kings and Tyranny of Faith for March since I’m getting them both for my birthday.

I read only 4 books in January. 😅

Spinning Silver
Legends and Lattes
Mistborn
The House In the Cerulean Sea

Here’s my 5 books for My February TBR:

For The Wolf
Howl’s Moving Castle
The Powder Mage Trilogy
- Promise of Blood
- Crimson Campaign
- Autumn Republic

Been planning this for weeks so I hope I get all 5 books read. That’s my goal. 😁

This was a great look at the whole year; I watched your reviews on nearly all of them, so getting to refresh on them was a lot of fun!

I'm struggling with what to do with Swann's new book. I didn't vibe with The Justice of Kings, which may have been partly missed expectations (it was built up in a lot of reviews as a true mystery, Sherlock-Holmes style, when really it was political intrigue with a bit of mystery and a dash of arcane. I was stoked for Agatha Christie with swords and didn't get it, haha). So I'm unsure whether I want to prioritize Book #2 right now when I have so many other books on the docket.

Great video as always!

Read 49 books in 2022. Probable favorite was The Final Empire(Mistborn 1). But, can’t rule out the final few novels of The Expanse. Also, really loved Elantris. As you can see, I have a bit of a problem when trying to respond to my preferences. But, those stand out. As I’ve said many times before, so many books, so little time.

You fella are working single-handedly my tbr pile into a tbr mountain....

[christinachristensen]

Thank you! I also did not like Priory of the Orange Tree, and I feel validated now.

[Selitos]

Elantris is a trilogy, not a stand-alone as sequels are going to be published on the coming years. You can read it as a standalone if you want, though Sel is central to the Cosmere so the sequels will be relevant to other future cosmere novels such as mistborn era 4 and stormlight.

[hyroproto]

Same. Hunger of the Gods saved me from a more than 3 month long reading slump... What a book..what a series

[s.p.]

As I’ve said countless times, The First Binding is not “reminiscent” of the Name of the Wind… it IS the Name of the Wind. Same characters, plot, magic system, lore, quotes, and on and on. If you like fan fiction, then that is the book for you😂

[KawaRyuu]

In regards to Priory of the Orange Tree, I completely agree! And it feels strange to be in the minority of those who thought it was overhyped!

[bosquedetinta]

This video was awesome!! Thank you for also giving us a small review of each book 😍 Loved it!

[anangryscorpion]

The First Binding isn't similar to the name of the wind, it's a scene for scene rip off. How it actually managed to get published is absolutely unbelievable to me.

[rebeccah]

I'm currently readin the way of kings, now i'm super exited for the second book!
