June Wrap-Up & July TBR

Another month has come and gone, but with it a new wrap-up!

Thank you all so much for watching! You! You right there are awesome! :)

Check Out These Fantastic Booktubers *UPDATED*

Where to Find Me:

Wow! Congrats on reading so many books! Steven Erikson's Gardens of the Moon sounds super interesting. I love books where men and women have the same role and are treated equally, and I don't think there's nearly enough of that in Fantasy!
My favorite book this month was Eldest by Christopher Paolini and I can't wait to continue on with Brisingr!
I hope that Ship of Destiny lives up to the rest of the trilogy!
Happy reading!

I'm always tempted to pick up a Robin Hobb book after watching your wrap ups. I am torn because they seem like quite the time commitment. You had a pretty great reading month!

I was also watching Jonathan strange & Mr norrell but I just stop because I want to read the book first... now I have to wait for the book to arrive. Nice tbr ;)

We're having a terrible heat wave here, so Christmas can't come soon enough.^^
So many interesting books. Glad you liked Gardens and I can't wait for you guys to read on, cause the first book is just the tip of the iceberg. So many interesting characters and plotlines are yet to come.
I had a similar experience with Hero of Ages. For a very long time I thought it would be more of a 4 star read for me, but the ending was actually so impressive that it ended up in my Top 5 list for last year's reading.
As said in my last comment, I can't wait to get into Mad Ship and catch up with all of you.
I also hope to get to Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell as my intention is to read it before I start to watch the show.
And I bought the Iron Ship a couple of weeks ago, cause I found it sounded interesting. Unfortunately the reviews I've read so far were more "meh" than exciting, but hopefully we're going to like it, when we get to it. :)

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Nor ell is SO good! I can't wait to see what you think.

[hopeortego]

So I'm new to your channel and you may do this for all of your wrap ups, but I love how you put the charts on there! That is such a good idea.

Loved reading Gardens of the Moon with you - like I told Connor, I don't know if I would have gotten through it without buddy reading it. Looking forward to hearing what you think about Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell!

[bookreview]

I think it is amazing that you are still doing detailed wrap ups, I got so tired of tracking my reading that I feel I might not last until the end of the year. Keep updating my spreadsheet to film my wrap up video mainly :(

[gracehzhuang]

WOW you read so many books during June!!! CONGRATS, SAMANTHA (:

[JamesChatham]

The end of Hero of Ages killed me (in a good way). I've been meaning to start Robin Hobb's work for a while; I really need to pick up Farseer. I'm glad to see that you liked Gardens of the Moon and hope you love the next books - I just finished book 4 and it's my favorite so far.

I'm really looking forward to the Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell buddy read!

[CravingBooks]

Haha, I'm not a fan of mass markets either. I'm trying to replace all of mine, but some books are so hard to find now that I probably will only have them in mass markets *cries*
Wonderful wrap-up and TBR. So many books I want to read!

[JacquieVlogsHere]

Whaaat, 50 books already this year? WOO go Sam! :) I didnt realize Strange & Norell had a TV adaptation. I've had the book sitting on my shelf for about a year, so clearly I need to get on that this summer so I can check the show out.

[Rebecca.G]

I reaaally love that you type out the book name, author and rating on the screen!! So Awesome!! Thank you! ... now I'm off to continue watching the video lol

[giuliatalkstoomuch]

Fantasy (especially high fantasy) is my favorite genre and I love your videos, you give great recommendations (and not just in the YA genre, which is awesome!) :)

[perpetualpages]

Awesome wrap-up, Sam! Totally agree about Rick Riordan's books--they're quick, light-hearted, entertaining reads. Not my favorite books, but still enjoyable to read! I really love how the Greek and Roman heroes teamed up in The Mark of Athena as well, and I think that The House of Hades is going to be even better, though I haven't read it yet haha.

I've been eyeing Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, but I'm intimidated by its size haha. Hopefully it goes well for you, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it (:

[micronoid]

I can relate to what you were saying about spoiling something for yourself. The series I’m reading now there was something I had to know about a particular character or it would’ve driven me crazy. So I intentionally spoiled something for myself, but I was carefully to only look at the wiki entry for that character only.  
Also His Dark Materials is the only book I can recall numerous times glancing at the next page before I’d barely read half of the previous page.

[BaileeWalsh]

ohmygosh, my name is Bailee is when you were talking to your dog it really got my attention! lol :P 
Wow, so many books and long books, too!

[helenejeppesen]

Wow you read a lot of big books this month :) I'm really interested in Robin Hobb and want to read one of her books some day...

[RebeccaReads]

I actually picked up the three musketeers from your videos! Excited to read it although my copy is over 1000 pages..

[starszbooks]

I've only just subbed this month so i've never seen your monthly graphs. It's pretty cool. Awesome video! Happy reading :)
