I'm very excited I picked up Barkskins now. I love the cameo appearances by your dogs. 🐾😀

NINETY NINE BOOKS??? Holy cow. I so envy you. I wish I didn't have to work 40 hours a week...and that book tube didn't so easily distract me. Glad to hear positive things about Barkskins. I am not a new release reader since I hate hardcover and there are so many old books to read, but I am subscribed to the Indiespensible subscription box from Powells so I get about one new release every couple of months and that was the book I got in my box this morning! Glad they are picking good titles.

I've gotta read Meg. It just sounds like a fun book series to read! I also made my library order the Dinosaur Lords book, and the sequel. The first one has been a hit. I think the weirdness and just plain "funness" of the plot draws in a lot of readers!

Okay I just got up off the floor. Which is where I fell when you said 99 books. If I get to 7 I'm on a natural high. The part I find most amazing is you always remember the details of each one which I would think would blend if you continuously read. Guess it's just great concentration.

I just purchased Underground Airlines today. I can't wait to get to it.

[alisiddiqui]

Wow, 99 books !! I look forward to all your videos.

[mattdean]

You're a treasure, Steve! Here's a tip: stick 99 books in the title somewhere next month and see your subs grow! :)

[Ladyjaxs]

I want to read the underground Airlines, that sounds good. I am going to the library tonight so I might see if they have it.  Fiction wise I am reading Lilac girls and The Crow girl.  Congrats on reaching 99 books in a month!!! :)

[suemoro]

99 books! I worried how long this video would be thinking you would name them all. LOL.

[gemma]

There's a book about knights going into battle on dinosaurs?! How could have I not known about that? Also I wish I could read "In Gratitude", but it seems months will pass before that happens...

[kimbarrett]

Hey Steve if you weren't in the book selling, writing, reviewing business what do you think you would have done as your career? I imagine you as distinguished history professor. 😊

[JenniferDoucette]

99! You'll have to keep better track going forward so that doesn't happen again ;)
I'm finishing up The Dragon Seekers by Christopher McGowan. It started off fantastically, but I'm losing interest as I approach the end. I bet you've read it?
For fiction this month I feel like picking up either The Passage or Ship of Magic. I'm in the mood for something hefty!

Talking about dinosaur books-I am just reading "Ivanhoe" for the first time in my life-and I'm 67 years old!! I'm really loving it!! Did you ever read it? It's a great book!!

[happysquirrel]

99 books is both very impressive and terribly irking haha.

I'm really quite looking forward to The Dinosaur Knights and am quite jealous of you for already having a copy. I rather enjoyed the first one, having pre-ordered it pretty much the second I saw that glorious cover image, it promised me knights on dinosaurs and that is what it delivered in its slightly ridiculous and cheesy goodness.

[isabelleolmo]

Steve, I scored Underground Airlines from my library, did you enjoy it? (Love watching you, by the way!)

[feveredego]

By Odin's beard, Steve! 99 books? You are a lean, mean, book-reading machine : )

[gailnichols]

sign me up to read  "The Castle of the Kings" it sounds right up my alley. But, according to amazon I have to wait 2 more weeks. UGH!!

[JenTalksAudiobooks]

Only 99? Not 100? What a slacker. And all that fluff - Russia, genetics, etc. Nice to know at least you got something of substance in Meg. : D

[lexiereadsbooks]

99 books? Wow. Well, if I didn't have two kids and mounds of errands, I would read 99 too... Haha

[misanthropistbookworm]

Ahh, I wish I could read 99 books in a single month. Most of the time, I can't even read 99 books in a whole year! T_T

The dinosaurs books sound like fun! I love dinosaurs, but I've never read much about them either in fiction or non-fiction. Weird. :o
