I like how GRRM shows up at the end like the final boss of authors convincing you to read their favorite books.

[ManCarryingThing]

What a great video - love the structure, you put a lot of clever editing tricks to keep us watching- you're a great storyteller!

[Chance.Dillon]

That is actually sick. What a good concept. It was probably refreshing for him too to chat about something he enjoyed consuming instead of fielding questions about his books

[chinmayeesurve]

This was actually refreshing. Usual booktube is just readers telling their experience reading the books. But in this video, hearing people who actually write books talk about other people's books was such a different POV. Thanks for the great video!

[Jeremy_Szal]

Thanks so much for interviewing and including me, Jonah! I love the enthasium you carried the whole way through. It was such an amazing con!

[prashanthsrivatsa]

This is such a cool video! And I'm glad you got to meet your favorite authors.

And thank you so much for featuring me, and to Shannon, for recommending The Spice Gate as well. :)

[OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels]

I already love Joe, and then he goes and recommends Mythago Wood, one of the best fantasy books I've ever read. That man is an international treasure. And the goal was reached! Great video.

[astevenswrites]

Glad you found all four, and got some great recommendations to boot! SO much fun though. I'm REALLY excited to attend next year in Seattle.

[LiminalSpaces]

This video was so much fun! George R.R. Martin also lives in New Mexico, so I see him randomly about, but I've never dared go up and talk to him. Jack Vance is a great recommendation and makes sense coming from him. I'm glad you got all 4 of your unicorns!

[DianaW]

Congratulations! Isn't it nice when the people you want to meet turn out to be kind people? I'm glad you got to meet all the people you were hoping to plus many more!

[MidnightChronicler]

God scott lynch is a treasure. Dudes writing style flows the same way he speaks. So cool

[TheNickcone]

True Grit is an excellent recommendation. Not only is it a great Western, but it's also a great novel that i would recommend outside the genre. Also, I would encourage people to check out Jack Vance.

[PalmerPickering]

What a fun video and interesting recommendations. I bought A Garden of Delights. Glad you finally found the elusive GRR Martin. Thanks for including me. 😊

[laurac]

Yes! Mythago Wood! A spectacular book that I rarely hear mentioned. A reread is due soon.

[davidmeyer]

Szal clarifying that the first trilogy of red rising is the good part of that series makes me smile.

[jacksonsardello]

What a great video concept! I could tell that going up to some of those super star authors was still nerve wracking for you. Great job pushing yourself. I picked up a couple recommendations for me and my wife.

Plus you're sponsor spot was very well done. I need to give Broken Binding a close look as I mostly stock my shelves with crappy beat-up Thriftbooks purchases.

[johnmackmusic]

Congrats! Really impressed by your efforts and perseverance to make this video. Very inspiring that you’re creating great content like this that is truly not easy to film. Says a lot that each of the authors were willing to film with you!
