Great video as always!

I haven’t read it yet but plan to later this year. Very excited

Oh yeah. The best of the year For fantasy for me.

Great video as always!

W video, really like the in depth information about the books. :)

Have you read the "Swords Of Steel" series that was published by DMR Books? It's a collection of short stories written by heavy metal musicians.

I need to finish the Darth Bane books also. Have only read the first one, but really liked it.

If I'm not too late in submitting a question... I'd like to hear your thoughts on book cover art, favorites or how you think the cover art or design contributes to or detracts from the reading experience. Best wishes for 2025!

Thanks for the update and congratulations on the growth this year!!

Wanting to try some horror type books this year and I know you enjoy his works. What should I read as my first H P Lovecraft?

Congratulations on a great year. Looking forward to 2025 and more great books.

Congrats on an awesome year. I think with audiobooks I ended up with around 90 books. My favorite was Demon in White. Next year I’m hoping to finish WoT and really try to read some new authors and fantasy series I’ve heard about but never tried

Good vid 👍

This book is probably too dark for my sensitive tastes, but you give a great review. Nice. 😊

Great video. I put The Silverblood Promise on my TBR. 😊❤

I must agree with you about Death Troopers. Nothing deep; didn’t really add much to the Star Wars universe, just plan fun.

Thanks, Caleb. It's a great list, and there are a few that I will definitely be looking at. 📖

Yeah, Silverblood Promise! And darn it, you’re going to make me read Carrie next. 😂

Great video as always! Happy Holidays!

Orphan Train has been on my shelves for a while now. I need to make a point of reading it in 2025. Looking forward to continuing watching your channel grow in 2025! Merry Christmas!

How do you keep your book spines so nice mine always look awful when I get done with them.

I've found your channel recently and would like to watch a video about the best books of 2024))

Great video as always! Love your channel man. Keep it up!

Twilight Company and Force Heretic was to be expected. Beren and Luthien being on the list is sad…but I get it.

Hi Caleb That looks like an exciting list. Like you, I plan to read some Stephen King next year (I've just finished You Like It Darker) and will read Dead Zone next year. I like the idea of reading non-Star Wars fiction by the authors of Star Wars fiction. I have done similar things over the years, and it is a great way to find new fiction, sometimes even genres. I am looking forward to updates on how we're getting on. Happy Reading!

This series was pretty fun.

This book, darth bane trillogy and the thrawn trilogy are peak legends content. All of them are 10/10. I also put dark lord the rise of darth vader and yoda dark rendezvous on the same general level or just one tier below.

If you haven't already, find the comics.

That cool book

Rogue planet is so good!

I agree. An underwhelming Star Wars stand alone story. I listened to the audiobook which may have added a little to my enjoyment. Jonathan Davis was excellent as always. It does have a very cool cover though.

im thinking to start mistborn era 1 the now then mistborn era 2 next year im not sure wether to do that or not.

Hey, I just finished the Hero of ages. Just got myself a Secret History, and only now found out that there is Era 2. Should I read the Secret History and then go into Era 2 or vice versa?

I read almost all of the Cosmere this past year, I was reading era 2 in between The Stormlight Archive books. So by the time I got to The Lost Metal, I knew the major tie-ins to the Cosmere. I agree that The Well of Ascension does not get enough love, The Well of Ascension was my number one until The Lost Metal.

I have a very unpopular ranking of this series: 1. Alloy of Law 2. The Lost Metal 3. Shadows of Self 4. The Last Empire 5. Shadows of Self 6. Hero of Ages 7. The Well of Ascension I just really loved era 2 and the setting but they’re all great books

I’m so far behind on The High Republic books; I need to plan some of them into early 2025.

So I’ve got Wind and Truth, Assassins Apprentice, Star Wars the High Republic Temptation of the Force and Dune Battle of Corrin on my December TBR. I think the only book I’ve read of your December TBR was Darth Bane (that was a while ago). I think I started the YA THR novel but like most of the YA novels in the series it just wasn’t doing much for me and I think I DNF’d it but hopefully you like it

Great video! I would love some Tie In books on these franchises personally. * The Dark Crystal * Avatar * Wizard 101

Great video as always!

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed The New Rebellion

The tag videos were fun. Glad to see your channel continuing to grow.

I loved Lost Metal, Twilight Company I think was a mid tier in the Cannon for me-not great but not bad. Silverblood I have on my 2025 TBR but I’ve heard great things so I’m looking forward to that

I'm a nerd that's never really picked up a book in my life. I've seen all the Star Wars movies and decided to jump in raw with the Thrawn trilogy with 'Heir to the Empire'. So far I have zero regrets. If you're like me, either new to reading or to reading Star Wars books, just trust me and leap head first with Heir to the Empire. It takes place just after the last movie in George Lucas' original trilogy and the books themselves were approved for release by George Lucas. It's basically 'official' up until Disney bought Star Wars and said 'no it's not!' from my understanding.

Another good video.

Great video! Would love to see Jonathan Koan take a crack at this (I found your channel through him BTW). Keep it up Caleb!

Thanks so much for doing the tag! Well done!

I’ve read the first 2 Expanse novels and really enjoyed them. I plan on reading 2 more next year. Is the 50 shades a one up on Jonathan for his twilight read 😂 (I kid of course)
