My son and I recently discovered your channel. He doesn't have a lot of male reader influences so we've been watching some of the guys on youtube. He's becoming a huge fan of yours. The library has a summer reading program and he's almost put in 12 hours already which is huge for him (ADHD makes focusing hard). He wants to one day do a 24 hour readathon. We love your channel, thank you so much for this content. It's really having a big impact on our family.

You and your wife keep talking about Billy Summers so much that I think I have to add it on to my tbr.

YEEEEESSSS THE FRICKIN' GUY HAS A NEW VIDEO!!! FRICKIN' HELLIN' YEAH DUDE

You’ll probably finish your first King book before he finishes 11/22/63. Pretty sure I’ve seen like 6 videos dedicated to reading it and I don’t think he’s done yet. Lol

Happy anniversary!! Ashlynn and yourself are officially my comfort KZreaders

I read ""Name of the Rose", when I was about 13, I love that book. I still suggest this book, to people that like historical mysteries.

yay new video from my new fav youtuber!!!🎉🎉🎉

The Name of the Rose is a multi-level book. The mystery is the easy part, which anyone can understand. The book is also about logic, about the meaning of things, about values, about choosing to see the ugly or the beautiful, about languages, about learning, about creating and destroying, and it's Adso's journey to maturity with William as a mentor. If you're trying to pay attention to everything at once, it can be overwhelming and exhausting. That's why I'd recommend rereading it once some time has passed and you should be able to see its complexity. If now is not the right time for you, it's ok. But don't give up on it. There's a movie adaptation, with Sean Connery as William. Of course William does not look like that in the book. 😅 The movie fails to render the most important aspects of the novel, yet I must say I enjoyed watching it.

You’ve convinced me. Just downloaded Billy Summers. I’ve read many other King books, but not this one. If Ian gives it a 5 star rating, it will be worth it! Thanks for the recommendation and congratulations on your one year anniversary on KZread. 🎉

After watching some of your videos I was absolutely shocked to find that you have 23k subs. I genuinely expected you to have at least a million with the quality of your content 👏👏

Recent subscriber and you have already influenced me to start a Stephen King book. Just started The Institute yesterday and I’m nervous but excited (I mostly read romance and fantasy so it’s definitely out of my comfort zone).

“I just want them to stop talking and solve the dang mystery” 😂

Yessssss you are one of my favorite Booktubers for real ❤❤❤❤your content is always soooo much fun. Made my week. You and your wife Rock ! Your gonna make me go through my TBR oh lawwwwd ! 😂😂😂

The name of the rose is just amazing, I never thought I would love this book but here we are.

Congrats on 1 year! What a milestone. Here’s to many more!

The pillow case says it all. Yes, it's always about one more chapter please!

Your reading speed with Stephen king is like mine with Brandon Sanderson 😂

I’ve had Billy Summers since Christmas, but I’m so intimidated by it and I don’t know why. But you and Ash both love it, so I’m more motivated to grab it!

Hi Ian, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I love them. You’re a lot of fun to watch and your 24 hour readathons are crazy. I’m looking forward to a new video from you. Happy reading! -Maria

23,000 followers! That’s amazing. You definitely deserve all the love and you and Ashlynn are just so adorable. I hope this next year brings more great things for you!

I'm so happy that you enjoy "flowery" prose. It always breaks my heart a bit when I hear writing advice that says flowery is bad. I'm drawn to it. Simultaneously, skipping any page in a book fills me with great angst that somewhere down the line what I skipped in those 3 pages will suddenly become very important so I'm nervous for you already at 3:27 with Name of the Rose. I haven't read it and I'm just waiting to find out if it was important! lol. Love your videos! God bless you and your wife!

Happy 1 Year Channelversary!! I'm so happy and proud you took the step to finally make the channel!!

Happy one year! I’m so glad you started this channel. Love you and Ashlynn. 🤩

I’m getting Billy summer’s because of you!

Your videos motivated me to start reading fantasy and now I’m hooked!!!! Thank you!

Happy Anniversary!! 🎉🎉🎉 I am so glad I found your channel. You are such a joy to watch.

Happy Anniversary! You deserve great things. Your enthusiasm for and love of books shines through. I just read Billy Summers, my 1st Steven King book, because of you and i loved it!!!

Been missing the vids like a long lost friend. Good to have a new one!

Congrats on one year! 🎉

I can’t believe it’s been a year😳Wow, time does fly when you’re having fun! I loved Billy Summers, too!

Congrats on one year!

Wow I can not believe it’s been a whole fetchin year of book videos from you! Time flies when you’re having fun! For real though you and Ashlynn are a shining light in this booktube community! See you both together are just a testament that soulmates are real! Just love your channel cheers to another year and hopefully many more! I know I have expanded my reading because of your channel! I didn’t start reading Stephen King till watching you and Billy Summers is the first one I have actually bought followed not long after IT! I can’t wait to read IT around spooky season! I wanna start Billy Summers soon it sounds so good especially since both you and Ashlynn have rated 5⭐️! Happy reading!!🩷🩷📚📚📚📚

Congrats Ian on 365 days and counting!! Love your videos

Randomly found you.. one thing i gotta say is that with the energy you currently have you are going places big time. Keep it going and we are all praying you dont get into a reading slump😂 grettings from greece

Name of the Rose is one of my favs 😍 Umberto Eco writing is amazing (I read it in Italian )

Wow! 1 year already!! Been here since day 1 and LOVE it! 🎉 congratulations on your successful year and to many many more to come! 📚💫🙌

Love these videos!

Thank you for another great video!!🫶🏻

Just finished reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King, and it's absolutely amazing! 🌟 King blends dark fantasy with classic fairy tale vibes perfectly. The world-building is top-notch, and the characters are so well-developed. I couldn't put it down! 😍 If you love gripping, imaginative stories with a mix of wonder and dread, this is a must-read. King's storytelling is on another level. 📚✨ Highly recommend!

Happy Anniversary and congrats on such a milestine! 🎉 Because of you and Ashlynn, I am now starting Billy Summers!😂

1 year already!! That went by so quick!! Woohoo keep it up. Loving the videos

I 100% wish I would’ve found your channel a year ago to have been on this journey with you. But your videos are awesome. Also I just recently read Billy summers as well (I know you had like my update on good reads a couple of times) but yes it is so freakin good! You and Ash’s videos definitely motivate me to read greatly!

Dude! So glad you finally got around to Billy Summers! My first and definitely one of my favorite Stephen King books. My heart is so happy that you AND Ashlynn loved it :)

following you on your 1 year anniv feels right ✨

If you enjoy the idea of historical mysteries you might enjoy the Cadfael Chronicles by Ellis Peters. They are about a mystery solving monk named Cadfael set in the 1100s. There are a stack, but I have only read about five of them. Great video, and congrats on one year in. 🎉

Happy 1 Year Anniversary!! I'll have to move Billy Summers up on my tbr😁

Happy 1 year on booktube! 🎉

I have Billy summers set for my first Steven king read ever! Plan to read it in July 😊

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Billy summers is by far the best Stephen king book I’ve ever read and that’s a lot of books hahahaha

Ian! From one Constant Reader to another, if you haven't already, The Institute is a must read.

Thank you for posting

I love your videos ❤️❤️ Billy summers is amazing!!

Congrats on 365 days on KZread! 🎉🎉

Hey I was watching your videos and your high praise for Stephen king, and as of yesterday of this comment I got Billy summers!

Will I ever try a 24 hour reading challenge? Probably not. But I will always enjoy watching booktube attempt it. I like it that you take care of yourself during the challenge, and I think that's why I haven't tried it yet. I love my sleep 😀 I think I've only read one book by Stephen King: the Green Mile. Your love for his work is certainly something, and I hope to read his books one day. Also, congratulations on the milestone! I've been watching your content for a few weeks now, and I've enjoyed them all.

If you like lyrical prose you MUST try Guy Gavriel Kay. I’d recommend lions of Al Rassan as a starting point, or Under Heaven if you want a more eastern setting

I have been waiting to see your review of Billy Summers. My first King was 11/22/63 which I really enjoyed. Then I read Elevation and that was just ok for me. I do have The Institute and now I want to get Billy Summers. King is my brother’s absolute fave author and my mom has read him as well. You also got me thinking about The Stand. I might just have to start one of those soon.😁 Thanks for another great video and congrats on one year!!🎉. You and Ashlyn are so personable and fun to watch. LOVED rock paper scissors video!!

Stephen King is my number 1 favorite author of all time, I have all his books!!!

Always a fun day when you post a video. I am hoping to read a Stephen King novel in October since I already put Fairy Tale by Stephen King on 25 books to read in 2025. Happy reading!

Fairy tale is very good!

you’re the Stephen King KING, I just ordered Billy Summers for my bday, that will be my first King novel, I’m scared 😅😅

you have influenced me to now read my first ever stephen king book

Recommend doing Billy Summers on audio too, the reader is wonderful!

Bro please eventually get into Brandon Sanderson! I know you’re gonna love him! Also I saw in one of your recent videos that you have a liberty university sticker on your computer! Did you go there? That’s where I went to school and love to see other flames doing their thing!

happy Anniversary!

I read the name of the rose ages ago and I thought it was really good. I hope you can finish it some day because at the end everything makes sense, if I remember correctly

That is crazy!! I remember when you started your channel and I can’t believe it’s already been a year!

Nice video, Ian! I do have a question regarding Stephan King, though. I’ve never read any of his books or watched any of his movies, either. I really would like to, but I don’t know where to start. Do you have any recommendations?

Happy Booktube Birthday!!

Nice to know i am not the only one with a huge difference in reading speed among authors 😅

I absolutely enjoyed billy summers and the character alice king is really great at writing female characters like Dolores and rose

Bro, reveal them Stephen King references in Emily Henry's books! I'm so curious.

You should give the movie adaptation of "The Name of the Rose" a chance. It's a really entertaining thriller starring Sean Connery as Bro Bill 🙂, Christian Slater, Ron Perlman, and F. Murray Abraham.

I read beach and I didn't love it, it was forgettable personally. Also adding Billy summers to my tbr ty!

I started reading the physical version of The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. I made it to the Second, but had to stop because the print was so small. I was actually enjoying because I love mysteries, so when I get it again I will get the Kindle version from the library.

Good job

I so understand what you mean about King making you a "faster" reader. lol. Loved Billy Summer. I agree about the ending. I almost DNF'd Name of the Rose but I pushed through it because a friend I really admire rec'd it and I was like okay I NEED to get this done to give them my opinion. I might venture into romance for Emily Henry, but I think I give romance maybe 2% of my reading life.

I cant wait to pick up Billy Summers. #stephenkingfanforlife

Hi. I was wondering did you read The Institute by Stephen King and what’s your thoughts on it?

If you like prose I definitely recommend Split Tooth by Tanya Taqag. Beautiful prose. But I also recommend the audiobook bc she reads it herself and it is an EXPERIENCE. Sorry, I just finished a few days ago and my mind is still blown.

Hey Ian, I was wondering if you'd ever read the left behind series. There are 16 thriller books, it's how society navigates after the rapture and the surviving people are dealing with basically the book of Revelations on earth
