A note from Jakob (the editor) on video gear:
There are a lot of things we use to make videos that I wouldn't recommend people to use for theirs. It's just stuff we had on hand, so it's what we use. That being said, there are things we use that I would recommend, and those are listed below. I'm working on putting together a FULL recommended list of equipment to get your videos looking super sharp. That's coming soon :)

What a great haul. I predominately buy audiobooks nowadays, so I don’t have to worry too much about space considerations for my books. All of the shelves we do have are full, not that my wife pays attention to that. She still goes ham on books for the kids. Not only do you have Jacob's room to turn into a library, you can help him establish a home library by letting him keep some books at his new place for him to get to. Right? All to benefit him and not at all get around space limitations at your own house... Thanks for the kind words on Small Town Problems. I think it's right up your alley and will be a perfect break between those epics.

Jakob, stop shaming your father! I'll start pointing! That is an impeccable book haul sir, you're making me want to get in on the action. The only reason I haven't had people send me stuff is because I'm always paranoid about having my info out there. I'm afraid someone might get the idea of breaking in my house and stealing my stuff, or cuddling me or something. We can't have that. Anyway, I got some books this month, my good friend Joe Berne sent me the second and third books of the Hybrid Helix. I also nabbed The Prophet of Edan, Tori's book Phased, and In The Valley of The Sun, a vampire book. I probably got some other books, but I forget them at the moment. PL Stuart is a pretty cool guy, I talked to him on my pod about two months ago. Somehow he is a fan of my beloved Oklahoma Sooners even though he's in Canada. I don't know how it's possible, but it was cool to know! Keep up the great work guys!

Wow John I have been sneaking in the audiobook of the Daughter’s War in the wee hours of the morning before my family wakes up and it has been amazing. Although the tone is exactly opposite of Blacktongue which is frenetic & whimsical, this book has an underlying tone of sadness and the story is told super slowly. The prose has been great and Buelhman has brought it to another level. Before you crown Ruocchio as the next poet laureate here is a line that stuck with me. “These dames have lost their fathers, uncles, grandfathers and husbands to the biters and had their hearths robbed of low voices and heavy treads”.

The first half of the series are pretty great palate cleansers though in terms of quick digestible books, but they’re not particularly light/humorous in tone so I wouldn’t expect that kind of palate cleanser.

Oh you have a problem, but I can also say that I have a problem as well… but maybe not as much. I ended up getting Parable of the Sower, A Song for Arbonne, The Winter King, Cloud Atlas, and the first two books in the Rainwild Chronicles by Robin Hobb. Also, thank you for sharing what you did about those copies of Farseer because while I can’t say my copies have been through the same madness, I read them in a difficult time of my life and they helped me through that. It is very touching to hear that the Real of the Elderlings has helped other people in more difficult situations. PS: The artist for The Advent of Winter is Catrina Paints she has a website of all her art and I have been following her ever since I saw that stunning cover. PPS: Of War and Ruin has pages easily falling out so try not to pull on any of those pages if you can help it. PPPS: Jakob, you deserve that art and copies of the book. You did a fantastic job on the editing.

Why people needs to justifying buying books is something I don't understand - I know that partly is just funny stuff between you and your son BUT there are people like that. It's sad both things, one telling WHY? and other justifying buying books. :) Buy your heart out. If you are not indebting you - do so. :)
