Normal Award Shows Me: 😐 The Grimmys Me: 😃

Between Two Fires was an amazing read. So well written.

Can’t wait for you to read Age of Madness. I’ll definitely pick up the Articles of Faith duology. Great video, Mark! I need to get a similar blazer to yours.

Awesome list, The Unholy Consult, cleaning up, well deserved. Amazingly brutal and dark book. Glad to see A Congregation of Jackals on the list, love Zahler.....as is known :) and Yes! Anasûrimbor Serwa is a badass.

Best 45 mins of enjoyment I’ve had in a while watching this. I think I’m traumatized by Bakker and I haven’t even read his books yet.

You got me on board at "a show that promotes cheating".

I appreciate you bringing more attention to these kinds of books, keep it up brother (:

The Grimmy's! The most prestigious award show EVER!!! Love the channel dude. You talk about these books with such passion I just have to read them all! Making my through Fletcher now with the Obsidian Path (so good!) and can't wait to start on Bakker. Glad you're back man! 🤘🤘

Finishing up The Crippled God but you have just made me push Bakker to the top of my TBR.

Well now I have to read The Vagrant. That jacket is pretty badass.

Good to see second apocalypse getting the props it deserves! :)

I discovered Michael R Fletcher this year and read the Obsidian Path and the City of Sacrifice series. Obsidian Paths lovers my first thought about the weird sex award and City was what came to mind to mind with the drug use award. I discovered your channel after reading Black Stone Heart and needing to hear someone else's opinion about it. Keep up the good work man.

Second Apocalypse will always be a grimmy winner award in my heart. Although you dont usually read non-fantasy I cannot recommend you enough Demons by dostoievsky. That novel has 3 of the most bleakest characters in all literature. Although is a bit dense plus is dostoievsky (and im not the smartest guy out there) with patience it can be finish. And as Bakker, dostoievsky can be dark introspective and thought provoking in many ways. Salute from spain.

Love ya man!! Gadooosh

Award for Most Improved booktuber: Slowly Red Holy shit! Hate to say it but I haven't watched a video of yours in months. Coming back was a shock. You went from a good original booktuber, to one of the best on here. You seem so much more comftorable and confident behind the camera now. Youare now one of the most talented I watch, and I watch a lot. I'm just stunned at how far you've come.

yeaaaa you are back

I love the Grimmys! Hurray!!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely terrific! Better than the Oscars!

Hell yes been looking forward to this! Just watched your TaN with Mike, pretty dope👍

Great job, Mark! I'm looking forward to getting to The Aspect Emperor Series once I finish PoN. Love the jacket haha.

Loved this! Thank you.

Battle of Golgotterath. The Mother of all battles. In every aspect. The stakes, the epicness, the imagery, the end of it! Nothing compares! Bakker soulcrusher! I am at a coffee place laughing on my own with your mention bro. The Fields Appalling unite us

I came here from Mike's channel. And after few videos I had to subscribe. Amazing content you are creating. I cannot wait to dig into the books you recommend. First on my list is empire or the vampire.

Didn't suck at all! My wallet cried throughout with all the books I bought from watching this video though. On to 2022!

12 min in and I see someone has a man crush on Fletcher.... lol : ) ...ok, now 24min in and that love has shifted to Bakker. I love it....both of these guys I need to read more of.

This was extremely entertaining - happy you are back!

Bad guys are people too. Loved the video. Thanks!

I really hope RSB comes across these grimies or your book reviews. He has been MIA for a couple years.. and I need the rest of the second apocalypse. The neuronaut and desciple of the dog were both great book, dark and thought provoking but not fantasy and not earwa.. thanks for all them reviews, it made me remember how much and why earwa was the best world I ever spent time in, it was awesome to see you excited, it reminded... Anyways look forward to you reviewing the Malazan series, it is more epic than any other books I ever read, in a good way. Less dark, but still really good.

Great show, I caught on to your channel after reading The Second Apocalypse, and how it just kind of left me wrecked. Your mutual feelings reeled me in and I found Michael Fletcher through you.

Great advice because I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL👍🏼

And Mike Shackles books

Glad to see Norylska Groans represented well here. lol. It was so nice and bleak and violent. Warms my heart.

Channel awesome man you talking with mike about having no buddies that like to read def can relate

I really enjoyed this thank you.

Caltro 🖤! (and Pointy of course) Also, Age of Madness is fantastic imo, i liked that trilogy even better than First Law. And this jacket deserves an award of it's own (best Jacket on Booktube, maybe?)

Who's got the good shit award😂🤣😂 yeah man .😎

this year comeing up cant wait hope this Ur comeback

Really fun video! For next year, may I suggest a "Best Cover" category? Black Stone Heart would have won it for me in 2021.

Thank you for this 🙏🏽

The Blade of Tyshalle by Matthew Stover most definitely follows right behind The Unholy Consult for me when it comes to most dark, disgusting, disturbing SFF books I read. If we were counting manga I'd throw in Berserk right next to TUC.

Yeahhhhh

Michael Fletcher is one of favs in dark fantasy Wasn't a huge fan of the first law but still I've heard so many good things about Age of Madness, i'm super excited to get to those books uhhh agree with empire of dust what a choice with The Sword of Kaigen, perfection fantastic video my guy

The jacket is major, I love it

Your award titles are the best also please read Stephen King he's amazing

Also Malicefent Seven is nuts

Well. I hope I’m up to par to read The Second Apocalypse Series once I finish The House Of Sacrifice…Thanks again

I'd relapse for a fat hit of some Sanctus. Real quick.

That jacket is killer

Great vid

The Grimmy's! 👍💪

ur cussing is cool to me lol it makes this channel seem like "home"

25:00 Oh hey I wonder who that is

I love a creative cussing award 🥰

What I been waiting for since your Mike interview! Lets goooooo! Cant decide between starting a book from Fletcher or Bakker. Whats your recommendation?

Jonas Clover is an amazing character.

With sword of kaigon, I thought everything clicked for me once I passed the 40 percent mark. Getting through the 1st 40 percent of the book was rough.

I have pretty bad adhd and have trouble reading novels. I lose track of where I am and read paragraphs multiple times for them to sink in. Do you do this also? Takes me forever to read anything . I mostly just read comics now to avoid getting lost in the paragraphs

you gotta read age of madness man

I gotta ask. How many books do I have to read before the R Scott Bakker stuff starts getting brutal and dark. I read about the world and it seems cool. But I'm like 300 pages in and there have been like 3 cool scenes in there amidst mostly just people preparing to do a war. The barbarian war was a disappointment at like 3 pages long out of that. Even Michael Fletcher said he couldn't finish it after 2 books. I want to read it. The idea is so cool. But the pacing is just bad so far. Meanwhile I could be reading Michael Fletcher where something happens on every page. Please tell me it gets better at some point.

Fucking hell Sword of Kaigen is fuck sake awesome read it.....

I wish you used time marks so its easy to skip between categories etc.
