In 2017, I strictly alternated between a standalone/non fiction book and a book from a series. I finished so many series that year :)

Your videos are my tbr list at this point 😂

I have added The Ruin of Kings to my TBR! The way you describe these books makes me want to read every one you recommend!! ☺️

Hi Tori, loving the channel! The Red Rising saga and The Pines trilogy are two of my favourite series. Glad you're enjoying them and hope you enjoy Dark Age and The Last Town just as much.

I have been going back and forth on whether to read the Wayward Pines series. This just sold me on it!!!

I needed more Sci fi & Fantasy recs, thanks for the video. I am so interested in "Twelve Kings of Sharakhai"

Just found your channel from a workdhoppers video and in the 3 videos I've watched you've mentioned some huge overlap with some of my favourite series, SO excited. I can't wait for you to keep reading in the chorus of dragons and Rook and Rose series!

MASK OF MIRRORS WOOHOO

Way to go on all the series you're making progress in! I hear you on wanting to read all the things. I've definitely had books that I've finished on Dec 31 make it to my favorites of the year list, so I only start making that list once Jan 1 rolls around.

Grace of kings yesssss yess yesss

I just bought the wayward pines trilogy and I’m so excited for them

Little late to this vid, but Richard Swan is scheduled to release the final book early next year. Glad there isnt a huge wait between books.

A Chorus of Dragons is my favorite fantasy series, can't wait to hear your thoughts on the rest of the books

I recently found your channel and I love your videos. You have a really calm voice and I love the way you talk about books. 😊

My priority series to finish is The Faithful and The Fallen series by John Gwynne. I'm on Ruin right now so I have a book and a half left. If I end up loving it (which I already do), I'll probably start Gwynne's other series, Of Blood and Bone. My TBR series that you also mentioned are The Dandelion Dynasty and A Chorus of Dragons ( the one with The Ruin of Kings). You have got me wanting to read The Ruin of Kings. haha Also, I haven't read the Wayward Pines books but I think FX or something did a Wayward Pines mini-series and it was so good.

Watched this video as my first video from your channel and i can already tell that you are one of my faves now 😂 live your taste on books!❤

Your move Richard Swan! 😂

A Chorus of Dragons is fantastic. 👌The third is my favorite, just because of the characters it focuses on, but they're all great. I only had slight issues with the first part of The Name of All Things, it took me a bit to connect with [potential spoilers], but overall... probably my favorite fantasy series. I just started Discworld. 😅

Promise of blood agree totally

I’m on the edge of my seat for the next Rook & Rose book and I’m guessing you will be too. I’m several books into The Witcher now and I think the pacing is odd, not bad, just unusual. I’ll be interested to hear what you think when you get there.

Love to see people appreciating the Rook & Rose series for the utter MAGIC that it is! ✨ I feel like we have similar reading tastes, I’ve followed and can’t wait to watch more of your vids

I’m super interested in seeing your reaction to the Terra Ignota series! They are my favorite books of all time by a considerable amount, but can be difficult to get into and definitely don’t work for everyone. But if they do work for you the journey is so worth it. Ada Palmer pulled off some incredible things with those books. I would just suggest really taking your time with them. And keep in mind that book 1 is entirely set up and book 2 is the payoff. (And then book 3 is set-up for book 4, and book 4 is the payoff for the whole series.) So if you’re not sure how you feel about it after book 1, I would suggest giving book 2 a try before deciding whether to continue with the series. Also, there’s graphic audio versions of the first two books (with books 3 & 4 in the works) and I HIGHLY recommend them. They make it way easier to follow the long political multi-character conversations and also add some interesting layers to the ways the story explores gender.

Foundryside was an okay read for me❤

Big things for 2023!! I just started the Grace of Kings on audio and the prose are so well done that I want a hard copy now. lol. I'm two books into Five Warrior Angels it's definitely EPIC but not as dark as a few other things I've read. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on these.

The Forgetting Moon and Foundryside are so darn good. On my favorites list.

Hey Tori I love that you read Sci and fantasy. I loge mystery thrillers so I am trying to read sci-fi and fantasy books.

absolutely loving your sweater!

I've been meaning to read Foundryside and Tyranny of Faith for ages, thanks for the reminder! 😃 Still want to read Red Rising but didn't vibe with the audiobook narrator 😬 so I'll try to find a used copy somewhere. Until the end of the year I want to finish Revelation Space (I read books 1 and 2, and Chasm City) and Night's Dawn (but each of his books are like 1200+ pages). 👀 Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Terra Ignota! I finished it at the end of last year and it's my favourite sci-fi series. 🤓📚🚀

I’m super curious to find out if you’ll like Too Like The Lightning - Terra Ignota is one of my absolute favorite series, but I know several people who have similar taste to me but just could not get into the writing. For a better experience, I recommend making notes of “Is that TRUE though Mycroft??” periodically.

A few months ago I let me dad borrow my copies of Empire of the Wolf series bc I loved it so much. And I got this text " when is book 3 out??" Hate to break it to you dad... Lol You're making me want to re-visit Red Rising! It's been so long since I read the originals and I am curious about the new ones.

Thanks for the video, I added a few to my TBR.

The song of shattered sands is one of my favorite series!!! Book 2 is my absolute favorite! I am so glad to see more people reading it.

Thanks for the recommendations! The Way of Kings is one of the best fantasy books I've so far, I'm going to continue this series this year as well!

Forgetting Moon is really good!

I've read all the Books of Babel, and it is one of my favorite series. I might not have loved the way it ended, but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and it was so much fun. Currently reading Will Wight's The Captain, book 3 in the Winnowing Flame trilogy, and book 2 of Greatcoats and enjoying all of it!

Hi Tori, it’s always good to hear from you! How many books do you read at the same time? I am an EXTREMELY slow reader. No matter how interested I am in the story I cannot seem to read more than one book a month. What makes my situation REALLY sad is that I’m single, without children, and RETIRED! I’m pathetic. 🤣

Five Warrior Angels is fantastic. I read the third and final book earlier this year and loved it. Also, did you dnf Sun Eater? I seem to remember you were reading Empire of Silence at one point. I love that series and how epic the books get.

I loved Foundryside. I fell in love with the cast of characters especially the sentient key. I have the second book that I need to start(Shorefall). Senlin Ascends is on my shelf to read too and so is the Tyranny of Faith. Can’t wait to hear your review of the books mentioned in your video. Adios and take care.😊

Hello Tori! I have both Foundryside and Dandelion Dynasty on my Series to Read also😂

Love that two of my faves are on this list!!

Yasssss I have so many same TBRs! I have such a hard time switching between series though and keeping all the lore straight 😮‍💨

Great content as always. So many great series and so little time. 😂❤🎉

I want to read pretty much every series in this video. We have such similar tastes! The Twelve Kings of Sharakhai and the Wayward Pines are two I have added to my TBR just because I've heard you talk about them so much! I am planning to read Too Like the Lightning this summer, one of my IRL friends recommended it to me!

I really really need to move on with The Poppy War, Dune, and The Exapnse. I’ve stalled so long!!

I just finished the Wayward Pines trilogy after you put me on, and it was so good. I really appreciate your recommendations. Can't wait to see what you think of Mistborn! I think finishing that before going into Stormlight is the right move, even though it isn't strictly necessary. I've got so many books to read, I'm not sure what I'll go with next lol. Currently the new Zelda game is taking up a lot of my time. Have you played it?

My major series goal is to read the Realm of the Elderlings, I'm currently one series down and in the middle of Liveship. My other priority series to start are Godkiller, Justice of Kings, The Art of prophecy, and The Helm of midnight. I've been thinking of starting the books of babel, but with my reading pace stacking these many series is a bit ambitious. Thank you again for such a great video!

I need a Stars Hallow shirt

Adding so many books to my tbr 😅😂

I've just started Ninth House, literally a couple of pages in. I just finished book 1 in the Wayfarer series, and I've still . STILL to finish Hero of Ages. I mean, I've only been reading it for 3 years 😂 One day...one day... I have faith🙏🏻😄

Love your videos I watched a few today and got a hole lot of books I need to buy 😂❤ would love to see your bookcase books 📚

I strongly recommend reading Montego by Brian McClellan before In The Shadow of Lightning. I liked ItSoL okay, but I think I would have liked it a whole lot more if I had read Montego first because it introduces the characters. ItSoL kinda did that clumsily, and with you not connecting to McClellan's characters in Powder Mage, I think you're gonna want it.

I devoured all 5 Red Rising books this year in like 6 weeks - really good. I'm just finishing up Tyranny of Faith. I finished and would recommend the Sand Chronicles by Hugh Howey. I'd like to get Book 3 of Stormlight in this year, and get into the Bloodsworn Saga by John Gwynne. For the most part I just go with the flow and if I read the first book of a series and like it, I continue on. Thanks for the video - you have lofty goals this year!

Love your videos. I read "The Dandelion Dynasty" at the begining of this year and it is now my favorite Fantasy series. I am so excited for "Labyrinth's Heart". I read back to back the other 2 volumes in the "Rook and Rose" trilogy this year. "The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi" reminded me why I fell in love with reading and the magic from the "1001 Arabian Nights". I was so excited for the conclusion to the "Between the Earth and the Sky" by Rebecca Roanhorse, but the final volume has been postponed for 2024. I also started Octavia E. Butler's "Xenogenesis", but I think I will leave it aside for a while and in 2024 I will try her "Paternmaster" series. I need to reread the first 2 volumes of "Pact and Patern" by J. T. Greathouse is preparation for the coclusion. I got an eARC and realised I forgot too much from volume 2. Happy reading to you!

First great video! I agree about powder mage I also got to book 1 and felt the same with the characters. Love your videos as always thank you for your content and time! Second where the heck did you get the Gilmore girls sweater?

The Witcher series is magnificent just tell yourself The Tower of the Swallow is the last book. My goals this year is starting/finishing Children of Time/Ruin/Memory and The Doors of Eden all be Adrian Tchaikovsky . I read Sins of Empire/ Wrath of Empire/ Blood of Empire by Brian McClellan first so Promise of Blood was like a great *back story* for me.

I've read 2/3 of the Foundryside books and it has been a GREAT time, I can't wait to hear your thoughts especially as someone who reads both sci-fi and fantasy (it feels like a very interesting blend of the two).

I read Wayward Pines several years ago and still think about it! I’m also waiting on Richard Swan. Hurry up, man! I need a new series right now. Hmmm. I like first person POV, which would you recommend?

Senlin ascends was fun but I didn’t get past book 1

Forgetting moon is darkkkk

I just purchased the wayward pines trilogy and my goal will be to start and finish the series in june. Thanks for a great vid ❤

Some of my goals for series is to start red rising and sun eater...continue dune and malazan and re-read dark tower series by stephen king

Hi Tori! How do you pick back up into a series? I tend to forget a lot from what I read in the previous book so I either have to read the next book right after or watch a recap video. Any advise?

I’m currently making my way through The Wheel of Time series and The Malazan Book of the Fallen series. I’m on book 3 of each. 😅

I am pretty new to fantasy. Do you think Ruin of Kings would be good for fans of The Justice of kings? It sounds similar in the changing timelines.

Can u recommend me any novel with few characters and difficult prose.

Ruin of kings woohoo

I don't like fantasy so not sure which ones are sci-fi? Love your videos Btw.

T. Morrow reads Sci Fi and Fantasy. That is so cool . I am probably the last person to see that.
