GIANT Haul of 24 Books!! - July 2024 Book Haul

[@kcsubotai]

As someone who listens to you during work hours, I appreciate the effort in naming the books. And, you are not a "hoarder", you're a "Book Dragon", increasing your treasure trove of books.

[@Talking_Story]

@@kcsubotai I am so bad at it! I am committed to getting better though I promise.

[@deadslugs]

Really appreciate it too since i listen to your videos throughout the day as a playlist 😂

[@Talking_Story]

@@deadslugs trying to train myself but I am a horrible slow learner.

[@deadslugs]

@@Talking_Story we're cheering you on definitely! Youre like the bookdad i never had. More power to your channel ✌️

[@Talking_Story]

@@deadslugs wow that means so much to me. Can’t thank you enough!

[@christhewritingjester3164]

It's a great feeling when you find someone who likes what you like, so you gladly send them every single book so they can enjoy it, too. That's a whole other level of tingles. That's like a 401K you've invested in and now you can live off of the tingle dividends. It's so helpful that you've given such an accurate description for this phenomena. I added 8 books from Audilbes 2 for 1 credit sale. It's hard to pass those up! And I also picked up The Blood Stones at the beginning of July because I just couldn't stand not getting it in the short list. It's SCIENCE! I didn't know Jakob was a science denier ;)

[@Talking_Story]

@@christhewritingjester3164 I am into Blood Stones and for sure get ready for tingles with dividends. It is so good. Science denier that’s exactly what he is. 😂

[@Talking_Story]

@@nyxian_grid yes! What a great choice to fill the shelves with!

[@edelkebap]

Ha! What a coincidance! Because today, ladies and gentlemen, after 2 years of considering and waiting out, today is the day where I FINALLY bought my first Brandon Sanderson books - Mistborn Era 1, all three to be exact. It's time for Cosmere in this houshold here! 😀

[@Talking_Story]

@@edelkebap welcome to the Cosmere club!!

[@edelkebap]

​@@Talking_Story Thanks! But I also bought (mostly because of you): * Vandermeer: The trilogy of Annahilation * Ruocchio: The Imperium of Silence * Cargil: Sea of Rust * Crouch: Dark Matter * Benioff: City of Thieves * Necromancer Trilogy * A book about Margellan, one of the most badass people in the history of humanity. Also, great for Jake to buy the three Dune books. Nothing beats Dune, best science fiction books of all time (even though I somehow think, it's less of a scifi book and much rather a religious/political/psychological thriller set in a scifi universe).

[@Talking_Story]

@@edelkebap Dune is all things. I am with you there not just a scifi. So proud of him for picking that up. Let me know what you think of all those you grabbed in that amazing haul of yours!

[@langestamper]

John, i got the tingles from subscribing.. The aftershock even made me order Way of Kings my first Fantasy novel!! it's science haha love from the Netherlands

[@Talking_Story]

I had to call Jakob and read this comment out loud to him. All he said was he was pretending he didn’t hear it. 😂

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

Old man’s war is great

[@Talking_Story]

@@AndrewsWizardlyReads I hear it is! I can’t remember if I read it forever ago. Or maybe that was Forever War. If I can’t remember means time for a re read.

[@marianneguevara8279]

You knew Harlan Ellison!? That's amazing! I've been watching your book hauls lately and I love the energy, the excitement you have. Its very contagious!

[@Talking_Story]

@@marianneguevara8279 thanks so much! I was lucky enough to meet him and sneak him chili dogs when his wife said he couldn’t have them. He gave me a tour of his house once that he called Ellison Wonderland. It was amazing.

[@marianneguevara8279]

@@Talking_Story So cool! I've only ever seen Harlan Ellison in interviews so to hear that you not only met him but snuck him hotdogs and got a tour of his house kind of blows my mind, not gonna lie! I've only read a few of his stories but I've enjoyed them all. I ought to pick up more by him.

[@Talking_Story]

@@marianneguevara8279 he is so good. His stories can leave a definite mark on you.

[@dalicieux]

Man, I know it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but it annoys me so much I buy a book thinking it's one edition and then receive another. It happens to me last month when I bought the Tawny Man trilogy and book 3 was a different edition than the first 2, even though Amazon indicated that it was the same. I also bought Tigana about 3 months ago at full retail price and received a used copy. It's like you said, the words are the same, I'm going to read them but don't lie to me about what edition I'm buying! Those things matter to me, damn it! That being said, the Heroes is one of my favorite books of all time and I can't wait for you to read it!

[@Talking_Story]

@@dalicieux it absolutely matters! I was bummed but at the same time excited to get to this 1. So many have such love for it! I will keep my eyes open to maybe replace someday but till then I just know I am gonna love this 1.

[@groofay]

Yeah, I really hate having mismatched editions in a series. I'm having to confront that with buying Wars of Light and Shadow, since in the first three books I've managed to have three different editions, but in the end I figure I'll be reading them eventually anyway. And maybe once I can source matching editions, I can give away the mismatched ones.

[@Talking_Story]

@@groofay spread the wealth of words as you replace. You are a generous and wise person my friend.

[@groofay]

@@Talking_Story I figure that books should be given freely and in abundance. Especially with Janny's work, that needs to be spread as far and wide as possible. What good is it in a storage bin or landfill?

[@Talking_Story]

@@groofay preach!!

[@rajtheleepan]

You just caught me red handed. Couldn’t control my laugh, watching your video, my manager sitting right behind me, albeit couldn’t see my screen!! 😂

[@esmayrosalyne]

I am definitely one of those 'background video' watchers, so I really appreciate you paying attention to reading out the titles and authors!! Anyway, wonderful book haul, it brings me joy to see you get so giddy with excitement! I am also very intrigued to read Foul Days and The Failures, so hopefully they are hits for both of us! Oh and a round of applause to Jakob for that baby book haul 🤣🤩

[@Talking_Story]

So proud of that kid. I am trying to get better. About reading the titles. Got a lot of work to do.

Finally! Happy to see you that are reaching out to other cultures. G. Dimova's book Floul Days is based on old Bulgarian folk tales. The big disadvantage for you is that you can't enjoy so many great books published here in Europe, as most of them will never be translated to English. So at least keep an eye out for the few that you can get your hands on in your language and read. Cheers! Greetings from CZ (Prague).

[@Talking_Story]

I cannot wait to get into her debut. Thanks so much for letting me know about the inspirations behind it. I am really excited now!

[@Chance.Dillon]

Ohhhhh The Failures-another one I’m very excited to get into. Really been spoiled lately on the quality of reads being put on my list. I’ve seen Spaced Out Wizard talk about Andy Peloquin a lot and that’s another one that feels like it’s gonnna be a fast paced riot of intensity. The heroes is my favorite of the stand alone so far-even though it doesn’t include my favorite first law character. Enjoy all the awesome books!

[@Talking_Story]

@@Chance.Dillon we need to get into the failures!

[@zeallygreen]

What a great haul! Abercrombie, McCammon, Scalzi……some good stuff there…..but, I’ll tell you, hands down the best book you picked up is Empire of Exiles….and the sequel is just as good, if not better. Thx for sharing!💚. Happy hoarding…..I mean reading. 😋
