I've said it once and I'll say it again. You're one of the best and certainly the most underrated booktuber. Great stuff.

I didn't read Death of a Salesman in high school or university and you've convinced me to buy it. Also as someone who turned 40 last year, I was going to give you massive side eye if you fibbed about having fictional crushes 🤣🤣🤣. I bought Lonesome Dove last year but I have so many huge tomes on my TBR this year so it may have to wait until next year. But we'll see - you and a couple of other BookTubers have been drawing me in. I'm glad I'm not the only person who wasn't head over heels over Mistborn - there were parts I LOVED .... but instead of continuing I'm switching to Way of Kings as well. Great video!

“A cup of hot chocolate when its raining outside.” Such a good vibe 💕 I am also almost 40 and my fictional crush is Harry Dresden 🤭

@PaperbackJourneys 10 күн бұрын

I haven't read The Dresden Files. I'll definitely give them a go. The good thing is that if I try the series and like it, there's about 20 books or something aren't there?

Lonesome Dove Rocks!

@kissgz_1973 6 күн бұрын

Lonesome Dove is so good. Be sure to read the whole series, man - just be warned that the last one will break your damned heart.

I started my dark tower journey a little while ago based off you and jimmy mangos videos still working through The Stand lmao

This was a bit of a deeper look into your reading psyche my guy. Very interesting and for what it’s worth I’ve dipped in and out of other booktubers stuff, you’re the only one that I’ve ever subscribed to. And that was long before I learned you’re West Ham 🤣.

Thanks mate. I really appreciate it. I'll definitely add 11/22/63 to the fiction roulette wheel next month. Hopefully that'll pop up soon.

You’re the second booktuber that loved this book. I have to read it! Nick at Books Are Sick in Canada also loved it. Check him out. He’s also a HUGE Stephen King fan! 😊 BTW China Mieville wrote an excellent book about the Russian revolution called October: The Story of the Russian Revolution- I highly recommend it! Death of A Salesman is a play, thus the list of characters and dialogue. Shout out to Salesman:”Attention must be paid!”

Amazing video as usual mate! Fun to see you’ve had a lot of positive book experiences this year! I hope you’ll get invited to this thing at the end of the year as well! It’ll be interesting to see if any book will ever be able to beat Lonesome Dove and Frankenstein. I’m excited to see what will happen next on your channel! Keep up the amazing work! :D

Thanks so much for your comment. Oh I'm excited too. Making these videos really allows me to appreciate the great books I've read and kind of relive them. I wonder if anything will beat Lonesome Dove and Frankenstein too. It's been a great year so far... so maybe?

@generalbradley6421 10 күн бұрын

Right now, based on pure story and characters, I think IT is the greatest novel ever written. The characters were out of this world, and the world building of Derry was insane. I just couldn't put it down. I should check out lonesome dove, I believe it's kings favorite book as well

@PaperbackJourneys 10 күн бұрын

Oh yeah IT is fantastic! Lonesome Dove is Stephen King's favourite book?? Wow! Thats interesting.
