    Your energy throughout this entire video was amazing! It felt like I was book shopping with a friend haha Also the Hannibal Lector series as a whole is just as amazing as the movies in book form! And THE ROAD Yes 👏👏👏👏 I remember that being one of the best books I read in school, so I'm glad to hear that you picked it up! I hope you love it

    Dead Man's Walk is a great place to start, followed up by Comanche Moon. Lonesome Dove is brilliant and is quite possibly my favorite reading experience. I have yet to read the final book in this series, Streets of Laredo. My reluctance is due to how much I adore Lonesome Dove and feel anything afterward would pale in comparison. Nonetheless, it will likely be read before the end of the year. Enjoy your book haul brother!

    I like watching you because you have a lot of fantasy, sci-fi, etc. I just finished Carve the Mark & The Fates Divide by Veronica Roth. Those are YA/Sci-fi, but honestly so good! I know a lot of people hated how Veronica Roth ended the Divergent series, but I loved it and took a chance on another series i found by her here in a thriftstore. In 2019, I read Airborn by Kenneth Oppel (Fantasy) and loved it! I just found out last month that it is book one of a trilogy. So, now that is on my TBR, again.

    BET!! Okay, the Hobbit literally laid the ground work for all fantasy that has come after it. Anything you read today draws form what Tolkien started in the Hobbit! It’s whimsical, it’s heartwarming, and it’s fantasy done right!! Plus, it’s got one of my absolute favorite characters of all time, Bilbo Baggins. His character arc is one of the best I have still ever read (that may be purely nostalgia talking, but hey). You have to read it if you’re a fantasy fan. And if you aren’t, then it’s still considered a classic for a reason!!

    @@iangubeli Yeah it's so sad, about 6 years ago the little one closed down. If I go into the nearest big town (45 mins on a bus) they have bookstores there but the English sections are very tiny so the vibe just isn't the same. The libraries are great and you can order a lot of stuff but ahh I miss it. I lived in the US for two years and Barnes & Noble is a literal dream. They independent bookstore I worked in, in the UK also closed down a while back, very sad. Thank you for the great videos - you're a natural & your energy is perfection 😊

    I'm going to sound super negative and I'm sorry, but I'm so glad you didn't buy Locke Lamora. I was so excited for that book because I found out a friend of mine knows the author and I *hated* it. It read like an overwritten travel brochure for the world IMO, and I thought the big twist was really bad. You said you've heard nothing but good things about his writing, so I guess I'm the outlier because I found that book to be about as much fun as trying to paint a wall with a piece of stale bread for a brush, and less rewarding.
