:rofl: I'm glad. The joke you made about me when you were talking about "Titsonwater" (sp?) popped into my head while i was getting stuff together for this, and I thought "Why not?" Glad you liked the video, I enjoyed making it more than I expected!

@reedmorebooks the video made me curious about maybe reading more comics and graphic novels, I think they would be perfect for summer as it's when I hit my reading slump, I'd still be reading but I'd have fantastic art to look at. I have some graphic novels and trades on my shelf (my collection is tiny though) so I might start with those. I thought the joke was great, it actually sounded like something I'd say 🤣

I should recommend Welcome to Night Vale, I think you may like it. It's a good mix of magical realism, sci-fi, comedy and horror. It's based on a podcast, but you don't have to know the podcast to read it. (That said, I 100% recommend the podcast, and it's free of course. I even went to a live show, loved it!) I love rain. I'll glad trade you for our lack of and 100 Fahrenheit heat.

@reedmorebooks I'll check out the podcast and pop the book on my wishlist, your recommendations are generally spot on. I love rain most of the time but a bit of sunshine is nice, 100f is a bit much though. Which state do you live in? (No worries if you want to keep that private).

@@DisquietandDragons-lh3zm It's not something I'm super worried about, but all the same, best not to discuss publicly. I've no problem discussing privately though if you wanna talk on discord

*mumblemumbleSmallGodsmumblemumble* Also, Soul Music is great and it's a follow up, of sorts, to Mort!

@@reedmorebooks I'll keep an eye out for Soul Music and Small Gods next time I got to the shops. I already have The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic so I've got something to start on at least. Anyone would think you like Small Gods 😂

You'll love Jonesy 😼 You're the second person this week to comment on that pillow 😅

Afraid not, least not that I recall. I've got How High We Go In the Dark on my TBR, and a lot of people say that does it for em. Well see. I'm just not a media crier. What Dreams May Come did it tho (the film), and Christopher Robin (cause my mom loved Winnie the Pooh, and wanted to see it but died just before it released). No worries, I know you're taking a break, but I've also seen you post a thing or two, so I figured it was something easy and low stress if you wanted.

🤣 I feel pretty sure someone's working on that if they haven't already

I would much rather put a book down than make myself miserable. To be fair, I gave them all a fair shot first. I love that pillow, if you want one get at me on Discord and I can point you in the right direction.

Certainly a similarity, but definitely goes much deeper than that. It's one you'd probably like, honestly.

You're welcome 🎃

Can't say I've ever heard of Rachel Rising, I'll look into. I just read Ed Brubaker's Houses of the Unholy, great stuff!

@@reedmorebooks didn't know it came out yet

You came to mind when I was talking about it, that's why I made the House on Haunted Hill comparison, given you reviewed it recently.

This is exactly why I try to be fair enough see the quality in something and not just say "it's bad" just because it doesn't work for me personally. You might like Nettle & Bone too!

Sounds like you've come down with a case of ACOTAR, that seems to be going around 😅

@@reedmorebooks That damn ACOTAR is contagious... Careful you might catch it too. 🤣

🤔 I could probably come up with something

Thank you! Doing what we do on booktube, that's probably the height of compliment!

I adore it. Chrono Trigger is my favorite of all time and SoS is such a loving throwback to it. Also, what a soundtrack!

Nah, most of these were very short reads you could finish in no more than an hour. Only 2 were proper novels and with the one being audio it was real easy to get through while doing chores and traveling etc.

Afraid not, only thing that would even come to mind would be a couple of autobios I've read by musicians I like, but my taste is so niche I highly doubt it's worth even mentioning. Perhaps that's one you're better suited for?

Indeed, good luck!

I disagree. She showed practically no regard for her former life, beyond the extremely rare comment, and wanting the loop to end. And I certainly don't see them "corrupting" the world of the book in any way, her way of thinking yes, again, not yet, but down the road. It's fair enough to suppose and extrapolate, but I didn't see any real page real estate covering any longing for her old life, in fact we found out literally nothing about it, though I assume we will in future books. I really feel the entire "isekai" element could've been lifted out of the book entirely and nothing substantial would've changed, beyond the 11th hr, one sentence reveal. It's not so much the jokes themselves, as the frequency that I found grating (though some were real groaners, ofc humor is subjective). I'm glad you enjoyed the book, I did as well, I just found this element held it back from me loving it vs liking it.

I still enjoyed it and it's a short read, you should

Don't I know it...oh you meant my cat :sob:

Not so much on requests tbh, unless they overlap with books I'm already interested in, or I take interest in. I'm honestly not very interested in Sanderson, but I won't say never. I did try Gideon the Ninth last year, but I was struggling to get into it and ultimately DNFed. It's one I may go back to at some point though, Necromancers in space is a cool idea.

@@reedmorebooks Understandable. I can get totally not being into Brandon. I like him, but fair. Keep up the great work my guy

When and if I get around to The Last Unicorn I'll keep that in mind about the editions, thanks!

Thanks for creating it, it was well thought out, and thank thanks for the compliment on my shirt! Have you seen the documentary on Reading Rainbow, Butterfly In the Sky? Wonderful stuff if you grew up with the show!

@@reedmorebooks Thanks. I haven’t seen the documentary. I will have to check it out.

I will vouch for Interview With the Vampire The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned, the rest are a gamble lol. Some are good, some are bad, but none as good as the first 3.

I've never even heard of any from the first 2 prompts lol. What was it about the 2 you wish you could forget?

@@reedmorebooks For the first one it was super slow and I hated every second of it. I had to read it in highschool English class. Second book was just a very poorly written mystery novel that I wish I had never picked up.

It's a solid, thought provoking read. Some ableist language though, due to when it was written, fair warning.

@@reedmorebooks the 'what did he say' meme definitely gets used a lot when reading some older books. Cheers for the heads up.
