Just finished Nexus it was really good. Kind of an action movie in a book but I liked that. Sometimes I like literature, sometimes I just want to read some cool fight scenes.

I really enjoyed your videos and it would be awesome if you made more

Wow! Like the only reviewer on youtube who liked it.

You’re missed. ❤️

I'm reading this book at the moment, and I wasn't sure if I should carry on and invest energy into it or not as I know very little about philosophy or the enlightenment. But you convinced me I should try. Also. You seem like the kind of smart girls I like to get to know. Let's be friends. :D

I finished the same anthology as you and I liked the same stories you did. If I asked you to read some science fiction titles of mine, would you consider that spam?

I'm looking forward to your review of The Kingdom of Copper. I think The City of Brass is wonderfully written but the sequel is another thing. I mean, you think it couldn't get more complex and emotional and then opps! it does!

Where do you get the time to read so many books!? you're truly an inspiration! Are you a librarian!?

I love your recs!

I agree with you on a lot of books. Most especially the ones in your background!

oddly enough, I found you through membean, (yes the vocab program) but you've earned this sub! I can't wait to check out "All Systems Red"!

Awww I love Murderbot, too. Another great A.I. book is The Mad Scientist's Daughter by Cassandra Clarke. I highly recommend it! Also, Autonomous by Annalee Newitz and Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston. :)

"You didn't enjoy Planetfall" what!!!! the very end might be "questionable" but????? I do like The Murderbot Dairies and am impatiently waiting for #3 to make up for my need for more AI I'm reading Sea of Rust (50% through) and liking it, but the robots are a bit too "human"?

Congratulations on a unique summary of Children of Blood and Bone, most of the others I've seen/read say more or less the same thing.

MARLON BUNDO! Whenever I went to buy a hardcopy from Amazon it has sadly sold out already :( You had an awesome reading month and I just love hearing you talk about them all. The Poppy War sounds amazing and so far I have heard nothing, but great reviews about it.

Hey, it showed up on my feed ;)

Hey, it's you again! long time no see. could I call myself a book lover if I only read 2 or 3 books a month? Is there a hope for me,God?

I wish I could read more than one book a month ahah ! Definitely a few books for the TBR. Did you ever read the Red Rising series ?

Great reviews! You're really well-spoken and convinced me on quite a few of the books. Although Themis Files still just isn't for me. Have you read All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries)? The second one is coming out soon and I'm really excited about it. You might like it, too :)

I like the Sarah Anderson books.......I still haven't read Tamora's novels, but I just took her graphic novel out from the liberry.....it's called White Tiger....a female, Hispanic superhero............lol, I read some of Wrinkle and I didn't love it......she did seem rather annoying.......and it's pretty tough to finish a book when the lead is annoying...............thanks for sharing this very interesting video! :))

Revenant Gun and more murderbot are probably/possibly the most eagerly awaited reads coming up. And SpaceOpera which I was hoping to get on audible but unfortunately is not available in UK(?) I listened to Hitchhiker's Guide on the radio back in the day and was hoping to recapture my youth! (damn amazon, I make them rich and they don't care?)

Great work! Awesome video!

You are a more forgiving reviewer than I. I could not get over the “oopsie, we did a mass murder” aspect of Binti. She had to live in that abattoir for, what?, a week? Two weeks? The bodies of slain students and crew everywhere. I mean, the smell alone... ugh. And it didn’t even bother her.~~~And the twin deus ex machina things which saved her life, oy. First, the “magic mud” which she smears all over her body just so happens to be an insta-heal for the aliens, plus that tchotchke she inexplicably carries around with her suddenly switches on for the first time in recorded history and it just so happens to allow her to communicate with the murderous aliens. That’s just bad storytelling, regardless of whether it’s a metaphor for something.~~~Plus, they just let the medusae off the hook! And then apologized to them! A real WTF moment there. A direct analogy in the real world is apologizing to the kid who murdered his classmates in Florida and letting him go home to play video games. I kinda don’t see that happening. If they’d held the kids hostage and only killed out of self-defense, then sure. But massacring an entire ship full of kids doesn’t exactly put people in a forgiving mood.~~~That said, I thought your reviews were solid and cogent, and clearly presented. Well done.

I totally enjoyed the memoirs of lady trent. The last book just gets really into the higher fantasy and I enjoyed the slow build into it. Awesome series.

The fifth season is very high on my want to read list. After your review I can't wait to read it.

The Jen Wang comic sounds wonderful..putting it on my TBR list.....I recently read Snotgirl and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.....both were insane and very enjoyable lol.........

I remember thinking A Discovery of Witches was pretty terrible when I read it a few years ago. I wanted way more witchy academic scholarship and way less vampire romance. I'm really looking forward to getting into my copy of The Night Masquerade!

Great vid!....."a rollercoaster ride and a half!"....I gotta read Obsidio, sounds thrilling...and Nexus is "explosive!"....I love all of your descriptions and thoughts....so fun and interesting....I know a few people who don't like fiction.....I feel so bad for them.....they don't know how thrilling it can be, if they would just use their imagination....I'm gonna show them this video...............I'm looking forward to your graphic novel vid (we nerds don't like the term "comics".....hahah jk!)..........I recently read: Monstress, Black Magick, Stumptown, Lazarus, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and the new Mark Waid Archie series: all were astoundingly enjoyable! :))

Cold Comfort Farm is one of the few books where I can honestly say that the movie is better.

Wow, top 20 out of 1000!.....Too Like the Lightning sounds awesome....that one and a few of the others are going onto my list.....I missed this upload a few weeks ago.......very very interesting thoughts on these reads.......I'm reading an Enola Holmes book.........have a fab day :))

Hey inky, ever read All Our Wrong Todays?

I tried to read TO Like the Lightning, but I think at the time I had way to much going on and wasn't able to finish. Perhaps I will give it a shot when I have less going on.

I met Ada Palmer over the weekend - she is totally awesome, and listening from her directly was wonderful.

I ****ABSOLUTELY LOVED**** An Unkindness of Ghosts. So glad you did too! Haven't done a full review yet, but wow. Oh, wow.

A lot of interesting reads this month! I got The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and The Fifth Season for Christmas so I am very excited to get to them this year. 😁

Cool stuff!!.....Long Goodbye is a great movie as well, directed by the brilliant Robert Altman........I can understand how you find the character frustrating......That's great that you're trying to read books by diverse authors.......I just read World of Wakanda by Roxane Gay, a queer Black author......her first comic, and it kicked ass!..............Pam Grier's autobiography "Foxy" was great.............I live in New York City, I gotta check out the Lafferty book!.....it sounds fun......I was actually researching Ghost Tours in NYC last night lol........lots of haunted places, surprisingly.........Thanks for turning me on to all of these great books!!!....onto my TBR list they go :))

Just finished and I definitely don't know how to feel about MOST characters! The King especially I hate AND understand him ughghghghgh I NEED MORE

Thanks for this review! I just finished my review of the novel. I absolutely loved it! I love your brief but jam-packed reviews!

I loved THUG! It made it onto my top books of 2017 list. I've been hearing so much praise for City of Brass.

I may have to give Lost Stars another try. My husband and I tried listening to the audiobook and it felt very YA which was not what I was expecting, but maybe I can enjoy it after another try!

I just came back here to say THANK YOU for introducing me to the Broken Earth series!

I should get on getting to Null States. Infomocracy was excellent but I have been a little distracted recently, the mythical TBR is constantly growing while I've been lost on Hyperion, another victim of the Shrike nailed to the tree of thorns!

Interesting video, inky!!.......Bitterblue sounds very cool....defo putting that on my list!!....Lost Stars also!....I love Star Wars, but I never thought about reading the novels......I might start with this one...........I'm seeing Last Jedi in IMAX 2D tomorrow night......I hope it's good....the reactions have me worried......

Solid video as always! Are you going to do a best of/favorite book of 2017? My favorite book of 2017 is How to behave in a crowd by Camille Bordas, also the new Expanse book is shaping up to be really good! I hope you have an awesome 2018 with lots of great books :)

nice

Love your videos!

Bloodline sounds interesting!....I haven't read any of the SW novels, but I plan to.....hopefully TLJ is good......May the Shwartz Be With Youuuuuu (apologies to Mel Brooks lol)!! :))

Have you had a chance to see TLJ yet ?

Never heard of this series....sounds very unique and cool....gonna check it out :))

Funny you bring this up. I read it too, and I too think it was pretty good read
