I'm excited for The Last Kingdom, which is indeed my jam -- strawberry, elderberry, grape . . . you name it, and it's my jam. When the Quilluminati convene, someone will have to bring the peanut butter. It's a safe prediction that I won't read Rhythm of War in time to pick up Wind and Truth, but I'm excited for you and Jakob going to Dragonsteel -- what a blast it shall be! Far from being a captain, I'm still a relative newcomer to One Piece, but I'm excited to chat with you and the rest of the crew about it in February. Happy reading, John!

I loved the Last Kingdom books when they were first released. Maybe time for a re-read. Its set partly just 45 mins drive from where I live. Bamburgh (pronounced Bambara) Castle and Lindisfarne aka Holy Island. My December TBR - Planet of the Apes, Recursion and Artemis, and I have a carry over from last month, A Song for Arbonne. Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends. And thank you John and Jakob for the best BookTube channel.

I was a huge fan of the Last Kingdom series (though it was shakey by the end) but its coming up on 2 years since I've last read the 3rd book in the series and haven't felt that compelled to continue. Its a shame cuz I haven't loved any Cornwell I've read since Warlord Chronicles. Hopefully you'll like it, its basically the 1st half of the 1st series. I'm still reading them so it'll carry over: *Fantasy* Fitz & the Fool 2: Fool's Quest - A third in, brilliant stuff. This and Assassin's Fate will probably be it in terms of my Fantasy reads for 2024... unless i bite the bullet and re-read A Game of Thrones or something... or continue Wars of Light & Shadow with the 3rd arc😅 *Historical-Fiction* Boudicca 1: Dreaming the Eagle

I think I'm going to have to squeeze The Gallant in next month. Man, the Patreon folks sure provide some great options. Can't wait to see how good it is! I hear you about meeting a goal, but man, it sure feels nice to challenge myself to make more time for books and less for other forms of entertainment. I've been cultivating better habits these last few months, which I think are sustainable, and I love getting to such a large variety of stories. I'm wrapping up Return of the King this week, will likely squeeze in Wild Skies: A Yeehaw Dragons Story over Thanksgiving, and then I'll toss in Long After Midnight and A Time of Changes to round out the month. I'll start of December with The Hobbit and then The Gallant. I think I accomplished most of my 2024 goals (as far as wrapping up series), so anything left over will be towards Ray Bradbury and Robert Silverberg books.

That is a great stack of books for a TBR. I have to create my TBR video and I feel like I just did one for November! Where does the time go? (It goes by faster as I age it seems!) Great video, J&J!

This slander against the August? Augustus? Eigist? Mr. Pooh shall not stand!!! Can’t wait to see all the Dragonsteel content!!! What a great way to end the year! I told Ruocchio I’m pretty sure he’s going only to seek revenge against Sanderson for steeling all his paper earlier this year!!

I think you can start with Way of Kings if you want and then go back and get into Mistborn if you dig it. That is an awesome deal!

I'm all about breaking out the Sestra. Mine is a half blue heeler, quarter lab, quarter pit. He's seven now so he's not so much of an all around home-wrecker like he was before. Jacob, whenever someone has a channel that is sure to explode, with people spending creative time to reach out to you, make fun of you, and love you, someone always has to take the blame. You are an awesome video producer, and mayhaps even it might be the truth that you are the best just like they say on the KZbins. But you know it's Pooh that carries this whole channel, unrigged elections and all... Satire!
