I just discovered the mentions section and only saw this now. I hope you read/ enjoyed the glutton!!! And I’m so thrilled that sentence convinced you to pick it up. It’s so great 🥹 same with the blizzard. Those copies look beautiful 🙌

[@maybeillreadtoday]

i loveeeee when i find used books with annotations especially when its a classic cos im like oh this person maybe read it for a class or something and i'm getting their notes they're letting me copy their hw lmao

[@superblomper]

Literally I'm always like I hope the previous owner was smart so I can use their notes to help me understand lol

[@Shellyish]

I’m excited to see what you think of Women Talking.

[@superblomper]

Me too! I know it's going to be an incredibly difficult read...

[@thevoidbender]

Sam struggles to read take 32. Lmao relatable. Also it follows vibes for sure it’s on my to read list after I catch up on my netgalley shiz

[@superblomper]

Literally how am I getting worse at reading lmao

[@Tetsujin-28]

Always a better day when the Queen posts new content. Don't get me started on used book descriptions from the one you mention. I'm listening to Strange Sally Diamond and it is disturbing....like exfoliating with a cheese grater.......... .....but in a good way. Love this channel.

[@superblomper]

Buying used books online is really such a gamble!!! Ooooh I have not heard of Strange Sally Diamond, but I'm always down for disturbing 😇 I'll have to check it out. Thank you!!

[@literarylove123]

I'm hoping to tackle Crime & Punishment one day. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of it. I enjoyed Waif. Great haul!

[@superblomper]

I'll definitely let you know what I think of Crime & Punishment and Waif!! Thanks for being here ~ᐠ( ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ )ᐟ

[@adriennelee26]

I haven't read any of those. The Blizzard sounds intriguing. Women Talking sounds like a difficult read to say the least. I just finished Your House is on Fire, Your Children All Gone which was pretty disturbing stuff. Currently reading Into the Drowning Deep and Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction.

[@superblomper]

I will let you know how they go! I know I'll have to be in the right headspace to tackle Women Talking... I loved Your House is on Fire, Your Children All Gone!!! One of my fav books of 2022. I wasn't expecting it to be as disturbing as it was! I've been meaning to check out Into the Drowning Deep, but have found myself disappointed by every underwater horror I read :(

[@adriennelee26]

@@superblomper There was something about the cold way Your House is on Fire was written (through the eyes of children!) that made it more disturbing. I'm 40% in on Into the Drowning Deep and I'm really enjoying it. It's been slow to get to the action, and there's a lot of science talk that goes over my head, but I'm loving it so far.

[@superblomper]

@@adriennelee26 totally agree on the cold tone! I think underwater horror bugs me cuz I can't suspend my disbelief when the science is so inaccurate lol

[@blacknbluecollarreader]

Awesome video Sam. Butchers Crossing is the book I decided to read first by J. Williams. From what I've heard it does give off that Blood Meridian vibe but I'm sure it more about an internal struggle than violence. I'm reading Demon Cooperhead right now by Barbra Kingsolver and it's the realest book I've ever read. I've heard Disgrace is a bit disturbing and I'm so about it!! lol. I haven't read Tampa but I'm wondering which one will be more disturbing? lol.

[@superblomper]

Thanks Dan! Definitely not as violent as Blood Meridian, but it does have that character-driven wild west flair. I think you'll enjoy it! I also think you'd enjoy Stoner, that seriously blew me away. I've heard other people really enjoying demon copperhead, I may have to check it out! If Disgrace manages to be more disturbing than Tampa, I will be floored. Tampa is still the most disturbing book I've ever read, I think...

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Hellhound is soooo good. The Horizon, on the other hand, didn’t work for me. I think Waugh is pronounced War, but the spelling really makes no sense.

[@superblomper]

I still need to read Hellhound too!!! Haha thanks Olly, I always forget to look up pronunciations before filming 🥲

[@MrToryhere]

Yes, it’s pronounced eevlin waw. He was one of the all time great English stylists of the 20th century.

[@bernadettecampos4193]

HellHound, The Horizon, and The Blizzard all sound to my liking. FYI, back in the day, all paperbacks were the size of Disgrace, lol.

[@superblomper]

I'll let you know how they go!!!

[@victoriah4648]

A Girl on the Shore has a shitload of VERY explicit sex, but it's worth it imo. It's a great story.

[@superblomper]

I think that's why I was so startled, I was not expecting the sheer number of explicit scenes. Rly hoping I like it as much as I liked Nijigahara Holograph!
