**NOTE** I made a goof on the timeline of the Stephen King book. It was actually released AFTER 11/22/63, I was still just apprehensive about new King works at the time. So I got confused. My fault!

I just went back and watched one of your old reviews from 2020 (when I first started watching your videos). It’s amazing how far you’ve come! Your videos have always made me feel like I’m hanging out with a friend. Thanks for all you do Mike!

[PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

I'm here for the positivity! Some wonderful reads here, Mike. Your best book for 2023 so far is remarkably similar to mine!

[Ghaffar_KH]

Hoping Winds of Winter joins the list some day 💀

[MrVirtuezzz]

I always love these kinds of videos. I always find at least one thing that I can really enjoy and dive into

[CARancourt]

Thank you Mike - great video and your insight really helps. My TBR keeps growing!

[RekindledReader]

Awesome list! I'm going to make sure to hit some of these. Glad to say I've read a lot of them, and I totally get it. Fantastic, Mike, thanks for taking the time to put this together for us

[ColinsCornerYT]

Great list, Mike! You were one of the first channels I found on booktube and you’ve been a huge inspiration for me to get back into reading! I always love hearing your thoughts and I think it was a great idea to make a positive feels video!

[sjkrum]

Great video! Really enjoyed this after a stressful day at work. Thank you for the good energy.

[thedrownedkingdomsaga]

As usual, awesome video Mike! Happy to see Ruin on there...one of my personal faves!

[melissajane]

Loved your video! I've noted a few books i'm going to get. Thanks. For Swan Song, this is my favourite book of all I have read it at least 10 times in my life. It's on my TBR for this year. I pick it up every few years as I just love it. It feels like going home for me.

[jozephusmusic]

I'm so excited for Swan Song! I loved The Stand and the way you described Swan song was how I felt about the Stand.

[jayspeijer]

Love the positivity Mike, and how you dip a bit below the surface about what makes each of these books great to you. It takes skill to entice a reader without spoiling or remaining too superficial in the analysis.

As a long time fan of The Stand, I also recently enjoyed Swan Song and agree with your points; McCammon got game, here and elsewhere for sure.

This was an awesome video, definitely helped me fill in my TBR for the next few months.

[elaineirving]

Golden Son is my fave RR book too. Can’t wait to re-read it with you all next month 💛

[JB-hqyj]

You’re by far my favorite book tuber. I got into King because of you and now I’m starting to dip into fantasy. I’m almost 40 with kids and haven’t read fiction or had this much fun reading since I was young. Except for Pet Semetary.. one of the best books I’ve read but absolutely gutted me I couldn’t stop thinking about myself and my son.

[catherinegillman]

I am new to your channel and I’ve never been a fan of science fiction. But your fantasy choices match mine so exactly (and I read so veraciously that I am struggling to find good fantasy that I haven’t already read until the next set of books from my favorite authors come out) Your enthusiasm and passion have convinced me to try sci-fi once again. I’ve heard a lot about the Red Rising series but I’ve decided to try Dark Matter first, since it’s a standalone. Thank you for your suggestions and I am enjoying your channel immensely.

[lindsayejoy]

i love this channel so much, Mike. i especially love videos like these. thanks so much for sharing your love of books with us! i've already read 7 books this year and have a goal of 50 for the year!

Fool’s Errand ❤

Tawny Man is incredible, but my brother, you just cannot be prepared emotionally for that final trilogy 😅. I’ve loved watching your journey with the Realm of the Elderlings; your Farseer reviews were what originally got me hooked on your channel. Always a joy to watch your videos - positive and negative thoughts alike!

[jaredthomas]

You've inspired me to read more Steven King! I've read the shining, pet semetry, and Salem's lot! I've got more King to read on my shelf! I'm currently reading it, and it could be my favorite! Keep on rocking Mike!
