How To Read My Favorite Authors' Books & where to start ✨ olivie blake, sanderson, leigh bardugo

[caricanread]

these halloween romcoms are slowly draining me of my will to live but the video will be up next week!

[talltalereads]

diva you're 100% right about mistborn, starting the brandy sandy journey with way of kings is like starting a 5-course meal with a giant plate of steak and potatoes smothered in gravy

[MojiiOkay]

I've been lost in the woods for 30 years and was never taught to read. This is the perfect video for me! It's time to make a change, world!

[gnomerical]

One of my humblest brags is that I was the producer for the audiobook edition of Six Deaths of the Saint! Easily one of the most memorable projects I worked on, and it always cheers me up when you mention it. So few authors "get" how to craft a really good short story, and Harrow absolutely crushed it.

[yoshimionline]

cari is always a comfort watch for me like that friend that you always click with!

[heyitsari]

There is truly not enough love in the world for ninth house especially hell bent! They were my first (and only so far) leigh bardugo books

[somatoes]

trawling through the stormlight archive now and i’m glad i started with mistborn cause it was like i mentally prepared myself for what feels like a gruelling marathon of a series 😂

[GemAndMoth]

Murakami will always be special to me, his is an old man like you said and no author is perfect. But I don’t think he’s ever shied away from his flaws. The way he writes sucks you in in a way that hasn’t been replicated for me by any other author. He made me fall in love with reading and also expand my imagination in my own writing. I still have this very vivid memory of college me sitting in a restaurant reading one of his books and being completely absorbed by it, coming out of it an hour later as if I had truly been in another realm.

Ha! And I was about to mention After Dark but you did! He also talks about his love and appreciation for music and how it is instrumental (pun intended) to the writing process.

I read Once Upon a Broken Heart first, and it made sense and I loved it. Then I read the whole Caravel trilogy and then re-read the books and I think that was really fun because suddenly everything made a lot more sense and I saw things in a very different light. So it was almost like getting to read the books twice for the first time

i think t. kingfisher's newest book, a sorceress comes to call, could actually be a great starting point because it kind of has it all! it has some horror elements, it's a fairy tale retelling so you get those vibes, and there's some romance too. so it's potentially a good jumping off point for any of her main 3 genres lol

[mandeeleis]

I just read The Last Tale of the Flower Bride based on your recommendation and loved it!

[natalieclausel]

With T. Kingfisher, I’m starting with A Sorceress Comes to Call. Haven’t read it yet but I’m excited.
With Olivie Blake, I started with The Atlas Six, no it pissed me off. I’ve read Alone With You In The Ether though since then and I loved it.
I started with Stephanie Garber because of you actually, and I read OUABH first. I didn’t actually know there was a prequel series, and I don’t think I missed out at all. I prefer OUABH- so whimsical and magical.

[stf]

I read Sorcery of Thorns because of your recommendation a while ago and it instantly became one of my favourite books of all time!! It's seriously sooo amazing

[jeaninearianne]

Alix E. Harrow is my new favorite author, I also feel a connection to her in some way. Her writing style is SO gorgeous I made it a mission to read all of her previous work after reading Starling House, I started with that and it opened up a whole new world for me, now the gothic genre is one of my favorite things in media 🖤 imagine my surprise reading ten thousand doors and six deaths and finding she is even more talented than I thought because those two books couldn’t be farther apart in genre to starling house and she still managed to write a compelling story! I just think she is an absolute master of her craft and everyone should read her books 🤩

11:55 Cassandra Clare is my favorite author ever (her books introduced me to the world of reading)

[mindyp]

Haha, I haven’t read all of Sanderson’s work but I actually JUST finished reading all of the Cosmere books. Mistborn was the first I read and I, like you, was scared to continue for years until I decided to just dive right into all of them (in publication order) in January this year. I would agree that Mistborn is the best place to start for anyone who wants solid fantasy!

Re: The Way of Kings—I LOVE LOVE LOVE Stormlight, Kaladin is one of my favorite characters ever and they’re def my fave Sanderson books, but they are BIG bois and require readers to be prepared and patient before embarking on the journey. I think Mistborn is the perfect compromise of being a solid book that is relatively easy to get into despite its length.

[cande]

Cari you are my comfort youtuber, i feel like we are friends

[oliviah.]

T. Kingfisher's newest fantasy is honestly a pretty great place to start with her work I think! A Sorceress Comes To Call is soooo charming as a fantasy, but she uses just a little bit of horror in there too. Lots of humor too (of course)!

[bambuu_]

Mistborn was so so good, that ending was the most satisfying and at the same time heartbreaking stuff i have read in my whole life 😭

[mary-kate]

I also started T. Kingfishers work with Nettle and Bone and I loved it! I say 'started' but I have yet to read another book by T. Kingfisher, but I'm really excited to read more, because of how mucht I loved Nettle and Bone.
