[@esmayrosalyne]

Soooo curious to hear your thoughts on To Ride Hell's Chasm! Hope you end the year on a high note with all these books, happy reading 🥰

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I am excited to finally buckle down and finish the book. I like what I have read so far

[@trinforeman54]

So happy you are enjoying Kagen!!!

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@trinforeman54 I loved book 1 book 2 has serious issues though

[@nilulal545]

I'm happy for this video!! It's exciting. My most awaited read will be for the year 'Wind and Truth the fifth installment of Stormlight Archive series.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I may also try and SQUEEZE in Wind and Truth lol

[@FineReads]

Woohoo!!! I’m reading midnight tides too 🤣🫣

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@FineReads fingers crossed I don’t bounce off. I have been a hair slumpy lately

[@FineReads]

@ yeah, not a great book when you’re in a slump 🤣 Also, am I missing something or does this feel like a complete new arc?

[@nicholasjohnson5944]

A hearty, wonderful list!!! The Outsider by Stephen King is on my shelf... I may have to pick it up in December!?! 😂 I really love mystery/suspense/thrillers in the winter months, so I think a number of those novels will be read in December, i.e. I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid; Rock, Paper, Scissors; some Agatha Christie, etc. We shall see!?! May your December be a holly, jolly one, reading-wise: Have a BLAST, enjoy, laugh, smile and until next time, uber rockin' Mr. Andrew!!!!! 🎉🌌❄️

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@nicholasjohnson5944 Thank you as always Nicholas :) I am always excited to dive into another king books. 🔥. I need to read more Chrisite. I had a great time reading her last year.

[@safinan8008]

Goodluck with ur reads for December!! I hope 2024 is good year for reading!! 🎉

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@safinan8008 thank you Safina! I hope the same for you

[@Talking_Story]

As always a mind bending stack my brother!

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@Talking_Story so many books so little time

[@Talking_Story]

@ don’t I know it!

[@TheDragonbornReviewer]

Oh, dude! I'm so glad you're reading Saxon Tales! It's the most special series to me (the 2nd book is in my profile pic). Can't wait to hear your thoughts.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

Im 30% intop book 1 and its GREAT

[@akellerhouse83]

I want to do the Advent of Winter thing this year too. I started reading them last year, but I didn't like reading them on my phone, so I decided to wait for the physical book. I'll definitely be reading Wind and Truth in Dec. I'm going to the Dragonsteel Con, and I'll be getting my copy of the book from there. And then who knows what I'll be reading. Probably Eye of the Bedlam Bride.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

OHHHH Jealous you are going to Dragonsteel! I hope you have a blast

[@giannidewaele4355]

Malazan is going to be my christmas read too, I'm now finishing up Dust of Dreams and plan to read the cripled god next week.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

Thats Awesome! I hope you enjoy it :)

[@JasonsWeirdReads]

The Outsider is so good! I hope you enjoy it. The Institute is good too.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@JasonsWeirdReads those are both a couple King books that have been on my shelf unread for to long

[@Luckathefranglais]

I recommend you Ripley. Beginning is pretty good.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@Luckathefranglais sweet! Thanks

[@OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels]

Any month with Malazan is going to be a good month. I'm still surprised you're digging Kagen so much, I honestly thought it wouldn't be up your alley. It's a really fun series though. The Dragon in Winter was awesome.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

Book 2 of Kagen is really dragging. I feel it is probably 100-150 pages too long

[@OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels]

@@AndrewsWizardlyReads yea I had the same problem with the middle/later half of Poison Rose, it thankfully picks back up in TDiW.

[@RowdyPlayer1]

I plan on start the Bloodsworn Saga next year! I’ve not read any of JG so if I like the series then I will go back and read the fateful and the fallen.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@RowdyPlayer1 I hope you enjoy it :)

[@trinforeman54]

I hope you like Artemis. It's fun. Nothing like his other stuff.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@trinforeman54 I am intrigued

[@MacScarfield]

Yes, «Bloodsworn Saga»! Currently reading the final novel, «Fury of the Gods»! My December TBR/MBR: «Dreaming the Eagle» («Boudica» #1) by Manda Scott (Historical Fiction about the Celtic British Queen and her Rebellion against the Romans) «The Wall» (City of Victory Trilogy #3) by Adrian Goldsworthy (Historical Military Fiction set during the building of Hadrian’s Wall) «Baudolino» by Umberto Eco (Historical Fantasy set during the Later Crusades on the border of Myth and History in 13th Century Europe and Middle East) «The Children of Gods & Fighting Men» by Shauna Lawless (Historical Fantasy set in Ireland during the Viking Age) «Leviathan Falls» (The Expanse, #9) by James S.A. Corey (Space Opera) «Dictator» (Cicero Trilogy #3) by Robert Harris (Historical Fiction about the Roman Politician Cicero) «City of Thieves» by David Benioff (Historical Fiction set during the WW2 Seige of Leningrad (Modern Day St. Petersburg)) «The Power Broker» by Robert Caro (Political Biography/Investigative Journalism Classic, my Q4 long-read)

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@MacScarfield wow that is a stacked December TBR. I am forever curious about dreaming the eagle

[@momo_genX]

I prefer the clean and digested prose as well. The six hundred page thing about The Dragon in Winter is another matter.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

LOL fair enough

[@PreacherReads]

The Outsider is strong man! Top half King for sure! I have a short but long December TBR: Finish The Blood Stones Wind and Truth This Inevitable Ruin (Dungeon Crawler Carl 7)

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@PreacherReads lol I understand what you mean by short and long

[@myriamlaviolette1119]

I'm on a reread kick and I'm still in part 1 of The Will of the Many which will probably take me all of December to finish. And we'll see what my mood makes read next.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I really enjoyed Will of the Many! Hopefully your reread is going well!

[@Already-Overbooked]

I enjoyed the outside and the institute both are good

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@Already-Overbooked NICE!

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

I still have yet to read Hunger of the Gods, and I still haven't read any Saxon books even though I love Cornwell and Jonathan Keeble

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Jonathan Keeble is such a great narrator

[@darkstarsbookcavern]

Sounds like a man with a plan! The Advent of Winter is so damn good. I get the King backlog I've read so many and I'm still behind!

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@darkstarsbookcavern it will be years before I can say I’m mostly caught up on his back log. I’m really excited for Advent

[@Vinteractive]

The Outsider is great! Finished it in one day! The HBO series adaptation is also amazing!

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@Vinteractive ohhhh I’m not sure I knew about the adaptation

[@thatsci-firogue]

I've only read the first 3 Last Kingdom books, they're fine. It's coming up on 2 years since I read Book 3 and haven't felt that need to continue. Cornwell's become a very mixed bag for me. I haven't finished these yet but I'm currently reading: *Fantasy* Fitz & the Fool 2: Fool's Quest - 30% left *Historical-Fantasy* Boudicca 1: Dreaming the Eagle - This will be prioritised between Fool's Quest and Assassin's Fate.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@thatsci-firogue I didn’t resonate with Sharpe at all so I’m nervous about Last Kingdom….

[@thatsci-firogue]

@AndrewsWizardlyReads It all went wrong with Grail Quest for me 💀I'm actually looking forward to Sharpe since I like the show and I generally find that time period much more interesting than Dark Ages Europe

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@thatsci-firogue I was warned off of reading the Grail Quest

[@thatsci-firogue]

@AndrewsWizardlyReads yeah by me 🤣

[@brandon5080]

Halfway through Stone and Sky. Hoping to finish it by Sunday. It's a great "Dad book." When the kid wants to show to show me what he's made in Minecraft, I can easily put a bookmark in without having to re-read a page or two when I get back. The only actual novel in current December pile (my TBR changes constantly) is Brom's Krampus. I have some middle grade Christmas and Winter themed books and some Victorian/Edwardian ghost story collections. Since I'm headed to the bookstore on Monday to grab Christmas gifts, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to end up picking up something for myself. Asking the in-laws for the last two Matthew Corbett books for Christmas.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@brandon5080 lmao a great dad book makes so much sense!

[@stevenstewart782]

My December plans: The Last Kingdom, The Black Company,Gifts,The Demon Awakens, Thinner,A Vengeful Realm, and whatever else happens to catch my eye if there's time

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

So many are checking out the last kindgom This month!!!!!

[@heidi6281]

I loved the first half of The Outsider but the second half was landing on the Whammy on Press Your Luck…wha wha

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@heidi6281 fingers crossed I get a no whammy

[@BrianBell7]

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@BrianBell7 it was magical Brian! I hope yours was just as good

[@NevsBookChannel]

Artemis has its negatives but otherwise I enjoyed it quite a lot

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

Its one that intrugies me

[@Montie-Adkins]

Artemis; I liked it without loving it.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@Montie-Adkins I figured I enjoy it but not be blown away
