I Did BellTubes New Tag

[@esmayrosalyne]

Oh hi fellow boring water lover, hahah. Really enjoyed hearing your answers to all of these questions, Brian rocked this tag! And I loved your perspective on us being the OG fans for the Cosmere before things really start to blow up, I hadn't even really looked at it from that perspective yet!

[@TomOrange]

I really think the Cosmere could be massive so its cool to be in early

[@cristianlucian1268]

Amazing video man , i just found your channel not to long ago and im really enjoying your content , keep up the good work!

[@TomOrange]

Thanks for watching!

[@OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels]

Great answers! You're right, brown is a hard color to make pop but something about that design just works. Ian Fleming would be fun to talk to, I'd want to know about his time in the service during WW2. Hangover is a good way to describe what Cixin Liu does to you with that series 😂 my brain was deep fried by the end of it.

[@TomOrange]

I’m sure his time in the war would be something to listen to! And yes Liu never holds back in his books with the big ideas

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Some interesting answers. Food for thought. Have a great summer of reading.

[@TomOrange]

Thanks! I hope you have a good time too

[@BrianBell7]

I love these answers! Thanks for doing the tag, Tom! Great observation on Sanderson.

[@TomOrange]

Thanks Brian! It was a fun one

[@deldevours]

I love this idea for a tag. It's interesting. ----- Ha ha ha ha ha. Harry Potter has that effect on a lot of people, myself included.

[@TomOrange]

Brian did a great job with it!

[@BookishChas]

This was so much fun Tom! Your passion really makes me want to finish Rememberance of Earth’s Past lol.

[@TomOrange]

You should! It can be a lot and the writing is not for everyone but I love it.

[@ithrahmunchswallow468]

Brown is my favorite color 🤭 and I don't DNF either, but I am very careful about what I start. Yes Memories of Ice has stalled me but I will get back to it 😵‍💫

[@TomOrange]

Im excited to get back to it!

[@ithrahmunchswallow468]

Fun video 🎉

[@TomOrange]

Thanks!

[@Chance.Dillon]

Shadow of the gods is a sick referral for starting out in fantasy. I probably should have done that before memory sorrow and Thorn😂

[@TomOrange]

Man Memory of Sorrow and Thorn is a thick series to start with. I still need to read that one actually

[@Chance.Dillon]

@@TomOrange it is as slow a burn I think you could find-but the prose is so nice to read it felt seamless

[@IanTerronesReads]

For the VIP one I’d have to say the three body problem series by cixin liu, now that the series is more popular than ever due to the Netflix adaptation I feel like I got into a secret club early. Also deaths end is one of my favorite books of all time too!

[@TomOrange]

That’s a good point! Really anything we read before the adaptation

[@christhewritingjester3164]

I just knew that you were going to say water lol. Don't get me wrong, that's easily the main thing I drink all day as well, but a favorite? Love the passion for the answers! Solid books all around.

[@TomOrange]

Fun fact but I've never even had a cup of coffee.

[@christhewritingjester3164]

@@TomOrange Look at Fancy Pants Rich Mcgee over here... :) That fits. You have the same energy as several people I know who don't drink coffee.

[@NoelleD.]

This tag is so cool! I also saw you commenting on 2ToRamble podcast. I now need to petition for them to have you on lol. (you and Richard talking while Austin smiles and nods)

[@NoelleD.]

I’ll consider doing this challenge as well on my channel when I read a bit more!

[@TomOrange]

Love to hear it!

[@TomOrange]

They are great. I would love to talk with them

[@BooksWithBenghisKahn]

Great answers! With you getting a bit bogged down with heavier reads like Memories of Ice, I really need to convince you somehow into picking up Darien by Conn Iggulden. That trilogy is the polar opposite in terms of how easy it is to access the story, and we share so much in our sff taste that I’m fully confident the Empire of Salt trilogy will be a hit with you.

[@TomOrange]

I am adding it to the list!

[@BooksWithBenghisKahn]

@@TomOrange to the top of the list!!

[@Johanna_reads]

I didn’t realize we share an anti-DNF stance in common! I look forward to checking out Rememberance of Earth’s Past at some point. Nice hearing your answers to this tag!

[@TomOrange]

I just think that the author deserves me to finish it. It can be a little bit of a tough read with the writing style but I adore it.

[@ithrahmunchswallow468]

❤❤ Project Hail Mary ❤❤

[@TomOrange]

Its a good one!

[@ashleyashleym2969]

My favorite book is Death's End as well. So many people seem to prefer The Dark Forest the most. but for me that was the weakest of the three books, but I also didnt really like the style of how the translated was translating it too. The first book was a great introduction, the third book was just so many ideas just shot out there and I found that so fun. The second book was a great book but to me it only really focused on one thing, the Wallfacers, deterrance and the idea of the universe being a dark forest. very good book, but just was my least favorite of the three.

[@TomOrange]

I have noticed that most people prefer the Dark Forest as well. For me I think each book gets better.
