I'm currently reading The Well of Ascension, and I can feel the difference in pacing vs Mistborn- but I'm enjoying it! 🧡

I deeply appreciated your Butler video!! Definitely need to check more of her works out. And I have a feeling you will indeed really love the Saint of Steel books. Also, I have a feeling Oathbringer will become my fave as well because I already enjoyed it a lot more than other people on first read. My faves of June were A Letter to the Luminous Deep by Sylvie Cathrall, Requiem for a Star by UG Gutman, and the Between Earth and Sky series by Rebecca Roanhorse (even if the finale was a bit messy) 🥰

I really enjoyed your Octavia Butler video! 💚💚💚

The time travellers don't age quicker because of the travel, they just keep aging normally. Shannon is biologically older than she is supposed to be chronologically because she spent years on the IFTs(the timelines she visits), so even tho she is 27 years old in the main timeline (chronologically), she spent almost 20 years in other timelines so her body aged accordingly.

Fantastic video :) Really looking forward to continuing Butler, think Bloodchild and Parable of The Sower are next on my list. Ah yeah Interview with The Vampire, Lestat and Louis' daughter Claudia is a 10 year old girl stuck in a 10 year olds body but as she grows up she begins to have more complicated thoughts and feelings, however her body kinda has her stuck in a limbo, and it deals with the pain and suffering that might cause.

im suuuper intrigued to pick up too like the lightning. ive been craving sci-fi so much lately!

Well, to contrast with your good reading month and record time Oathbringer, I'm having a reverse-record time on Stonewielder. I still haven't finished it and I'm not even close to. I've been gaming way too much for that. So I finished 0 books in June, lmao. BUT I AM FIGHTING BACK NOW. A Brazilian booktuber I follow will be hosting a readathon starting on the 13th, so I decided to finish Stonewielder until then, which amounts to one chapter per day, basically. So that's what I'm doing now

💖💖💖

I definitely agree you have read 11 books ❤

Yesssssss the villain!? Why does she always need a villain?

"There's never a villain in your contemporary life." Angela can I swap lives with you?

Ooh a very good reading month it seems. I think for me my favs of last month was Experienced which was a sapphic contemp romance (which was amazing) and Legacy of The Brightwash which was really fun but dark but also had a prominent romance thread throughout. Sadly the worst two were Evocation and Witchmark, both were just really shallow and everything felt far far too rushed.

My favourite was monster baru cormorant and the mercy of gods!

I read my arc for a sorceress comes to call by t kingfisher and it was so good!

If you're interested in trying more Okungbowa without diving into his unfinished series, he has a standalone called "David Mogo Godhunter" that's urban fantasy about a demigod in Lagos who works to help keep the gods that have fallen to earth contained. I really liked it, and I found it very unique.

It does sound odd to read "King Lear" in an AP American Lit class, but as I remember from my high school, American Literature ended with "The Red Badge of Courage" to avoid controversial topics. If you read "Death of a Salesman," you would be exposing teenagers to a play about suicide. What would happen if a student then killed himself? Would the school be sued? Eugne O'Neill's plays are filled with drinking. Will some parent say the school is encouraging students to drink? Shakespeare is a "safe" choice in the eyes of many school systems.

I did an immediate re-read of ‘The City of Last Chances’ by Adrian Tchaikovsky in the physical form after finishing the audio. Just absolutely my favorite book of the year so far. I just found the relationship between Yasnic, god, and Ruslav hilarious. Looking forward to ‘The House of Open Wounds’, the next one in the trilogy.

I have not read this, but I definitely must!

💚

💚💖 I read Swordheart in June as well and gave it the same criticism. That third-act breakup was unnecessary and made no sense why she was really mad.

I loved your Octavia Butler video! It seems like nobody has heard of her and I rarely see her works in bookstores. Sometimes Parable of the Sower, but that is usually it. And they are soo good! I just started Dawn this week, it sucked me right in!

💙🎶🎵

Doomsday Book, Dragonfruit, & Dissolution were my favorites in June 💗

Love getting hyped to try Too Like the Lightning and Translation State, and I’m right with you on loving Oathbringer!!! What did you make of Martha Wells taking home two Locus Awards for a mid Murderbot book and an unreadable mess?

Love all the books behind you.

Yep, your Hugo videos were great, loved those!

Hugo drama has become as much of a regular on your channel as the mid year freakout tag.😅

I just started. I've heard of Robin Hobb before but had no idea it was such a huge series. I picked up Ship of Magic thinking it was just a trilogy. So far, I Iove it. I'm about 70% through the first book and Wintrow is my favorite character at this point. I remember a friend like 10-15 years ago going on about Fitz etc. I'm going to start at the beginning after I finish Live Ship Traders.

The highlight for me was by far the discovery of Percival Everett. "Erasure" & "The Trees" were both very good, and I am planning to read a lot more of his books.

Si los libros hay conocimiento y sabiduria, ¿por que no hay un mundo mejor?

Also excited about The Lotus Empire, obviously. My highlight of the year so far has been The Warm Hands of Ghosts, plus a bunch of rereads. Too bad the Killers of the Flower Moon movie was so boring!
