Reading Wrap Up November 2024 📚🍁

[@TomOrange]

Murder on the Orient Express sent me down a youtube rabbit hole of watching people travel by train

[@libraryunbounded]

😂😂😂 Yup, that sounds about right

[@heidi6281]

I like that you are not chained to your tbr!! So happy you still like WOT, book 6 Lord of Chaos is one of the best, the 2nd half is explosive on every level! Memorable is an understatement!

[@libraryunbounded]

You know, I plan to become even less chained but we'll talk about it soon ;) Yeah, the WOT story is getting more interesting and I guess I am getting used to the characters and their... quirks 😁

[@rhondasruminationsonreading]

I'm really excited to read some Brandon Sanderson next year. My sister and I have decided to start a buddy read of the cosmere based on your video!

[@libraryunbounded]

Oh, this makes me so happy! I so so hope you enjoy it! Let me know how it goes when you start, please!

[@rhondasruminationsonreading]

@@libraryunbounded I will!!

[@KYX1994]

[@justynajusty]

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you, Justyna, you are so kind ! ❤️

[@justynajusty]

@libraryunbounded sending hugs! 🤗

[@BooksToAshes]

Take care of yourself and stay hydrated ♥️ also, I’m so excited to start the Stormlight archive next month! I can’t wait

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much, Ash! ❤️ OMG! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

[@BooksToAshes]

@ I’m so excited and nervous! Will do

[@starlasell5698]

I hope you feel better soon! 📚❤

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you, lovely Starla! ❤️📚

[@N.A.Summur]

Words of Radiance is still my personal favorite too. So good. Excited to see how Wind and Truth works for me though! Hope you feel better soon!

[@libraryunbounded]

Yeah, I started it too and so far it has a distinct feeling of "things are about to end very soon" Thank you!

[@N.A.Summur]

@ sounds like an intense feeling! Of course! :)

[@esmayrosalyne]

Sorry to hear that you have been feeling so under the weather. Hope you recover swiftly, sending all the positive vibes!! Honestly can't blame you for that WoR re-read hahah, I also binged the entire Stormlight Archive again last month and just had the best time. Oathbringer is still my fave though lol. And now I am 80% into Wind and Truth and AAAAAH so many thoughts and feelings!! Hope December is treating you well, happy reading 🤩

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much! I do feel a bit better already. And oh! You have such a beautiful name! Esmay Rosaline - it's divine!🥰 Oh, yes, binging the series is always so much fun! And I love Oathbringer too - it's so full of delicious mysteries, not to mention Dalinar's backstory... I hope you have an amazing December too! 🌲✨📚

[@esmayrosalyne]

@@libraryunbounded Oh that is so kind of you to say about my name, totally made my day. Credit goes to my wonderful parents 🤣❤ December has been amazing so far. Just finished Wind & Truth and it was phenomenal. Kinda kicking myself for bingeing it because I don't want it to be over already!! Hope you are enjoying as well 🥰

[@BasicallyNeda]

Wow, You made a video while still being sick.😯You are superwoman! Great wrap up.👏Hope you feel better soon. 😊

[@libraryunbounded]

Well, more like "a woman who doesn't know how to rest". But thank you, Neda! ❤️

[@aBowStar]

So true, Hercule Poirot gives such vibes - I always remember him when I enter some Muzeum or another historical building where they have got marble and palm trees inside of golden flower pots 😄

[@mjk2010-aplo]

Hope you feel better soon! I thought about reading the first book in the Reacher series since you were continuing it for the Thriller series. But I wasn't in the mood for Reacher, instead I chose Blake Crouch's "Dark Matter" and it was really good. Quick paced. I'm glad you enjoyed "Murder on the Orient Express" for the second time. 😄 The audiobook narrated by Dan Stevens was excellent! And like you, I will probably find myself highly distracted by Sanderson this month. I'm picking up Mistborn, while trying to finish the Skyward series. But I also need to make time for Ruocchio's Suneater series. So hopefully the December TBR will lend itself to reading a lot of Fantasy and Sci-Fi!

[@libraryunbounded]

Oh, Dark Matter is awesome! I still want to read more Crouch but, well... there's so many great authors 😅 Oh, so excited for your read of Mistborn! Love that series! And I head so many great things about the Suneater saga, I really need to get to it... And thank you, I already feel a bit better! :)

[@ABookForest]

I'm about to start Wind and Truth. So excited! I liked Rythm of War and I was really interested in Kaladin's project so I felt a bit sad when it went nowhere. Hopefully it keeps going a bit in W&T.

[@libraryunbounded]

I started Wind and Truth and as it turns out, Kaladin's project didn't go nowhere - we just didn't see much of it 😅

[@ABookForest]

@libraryunbounded Kal cannot catch a break

[@libraryunbounded]

@@ABookForest absolutely none. And I worry what Sqanderson will do to him by the end of this book...

[@ABookForest]

@@libraryunbounded Sanderson will destroy me, I can feel it.

[@Curious-Cat]

Yeah, no regrets! Reading is supposed to be fun, so if you are more excited by something that isn't on your TBR, who cares? Just read the thing that excites you ^^ Life's too short to stick to TBRs XD Hope you feel better soon though, take care!

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much for the kind and wise words, Cat! ❤️

[@toniweller6008]

📚💚

[@loramladenova2710]

Get better soon 🙏🌷

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you! ❤️

[@rebeccareber2208]

I hope you’re feeling better now that a few days have gone by! Also, what was the plot hole in WoR? You seem to get so much more out of the cosmere books than I do despite my having reread them so much.

[@libraryunbounded]

I do feel a bit better, thank you! ::) How are you? Okay, so SPOILER FOR WORDS OF RADIANCE BELOW: - - - - So, in the scene where Dalinar bonds the Stormfather at the end, he is asked by him to get rid of the Shardbalde he carries. But this was supposedly an Honorblade - the one he took from Taln and tricked Amaram with. And we know from Syl that those shouldn't offend spren. She calls the one carried by Szeth "a treasure". So why did Dalinar hear screaming when he touched it briefly? And why did the Stormfather hate it? Basically, I am wondering whether this is a plothole, or whether it's a clue that something happened with the other Blade. Like maybe Hoid stole it when he met him? If so, why? The more I think about it, the more I think it is actually the second option, be cause Elhokar remarks upon first seeing the "madman" that the Shardblade didn't disappear when dropped, so "he probably didn't have it for long". Anyway, I can't believe it took me so long to catch this. What do you think?

[@rebeccareber2208]

@ Hi, and thanks for getting back to me! I’m doing great and just starting Wind and Truth today. SPOILERS FOR WORDS OF RADIANCE: - - - - - Wow! I did some rereading again of WOR, and I see your point! He’d already given Oathbringer to Sadeas by the time he bonds the Stormfather, right? I think I agree that Hoid must have switched out that blade beforehand, which then begs the question why. Has Hoid finally become so unhinged by his time with Dawnshards that he can no longer do things that help a world? I know Sigzil hates him in Sunlit Man, and himself talks about how the consequences of holding Dawnshards basically made any benefit from holding them not worth the price he’s had to pay, like being chased across the universe. I’m really impressed by how critically you read these books! I studied literature in college, but I find myself getting so caught up in plot and character development that I lose sight of seeing these books as anything but a really great story! I didn’t even realize that Azure and Zahel were not who they said they were, for example. I’d still love a spoiler video on how all the Cosmere books give clues to each other, but I know that’s a big ask. If you ever get bored……. Anyway, thanks again and I really enjoyed talking to you about this! Rebecca

[@grahamguy4656]

I hear so many great things from stormligth achive I have only read misborn and elantris those I loved I have listen to all the secret project books but with so.e of brandon books been so big put off I little for me it would take 2 two months to read one of his book I read plenty but very slow. Great vid it felt little of with your enjoyment of reading hope you much better now and have a great xmas

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so so much! :) I understand how daunting it can be to have so many big books to read but there's no hurry. You can enjoy them for years to come - I think that's beautiful :) Merry Christmas to you too! 🌲✨📚

[@bibi_shmibi]

u poor thingie! get healthy fast!!! miss u

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you, Bibi! ❤️ Miss you too

[@BrianBell7]

Exactly! Why DO books have covers?!? I hope you are feeling better by the time this video aired. I'd make you my grandmother's chicken soup but it might get cold by the time it arrives... quote of the video - "minus all the murdering, obviously."

[@libraryunbounded]

hahaha, yeah, I think "cold" would be the least of it 😂 Yeah, I suspect a bit of a murder might dampen the travel mood slightly, better not risk it. ;)

[@sailingqueen678]

I cannot believe I still have yet to be spoiled for Murder on the Orient Express.

[@libraryunbounded]

Wow! So, we got two of the three people in the comments! Nice! 😂

[@vitalinarusev]

I’m one of the 3 that hasn’t read Agatha Christie yet 😅😂. Hope to remedy that soon. Also, I found a Bulgarian book tuber that loves fantasy, my life is complete 😂. Love your videos

[@libraryunbounded]

Yeeeey! So happy you are here! See - dreams can come true 😂 Oh, Agatha Christie writes some of the most complicated murder mysteries which are, paradoxically, some of the easiest to read. And very very short. Just a spoonfull of good time.

[@BriMiKie]

The real question is, have you started Wind & Truth? 😆 I hope you feel better soon!

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you, Bridgett! ❤️ And yes, I have indeed started it - 7 minutes after it became available on Amazon 😂

[@caylaelon]

How are you alive with a fever that high?!

[@libraryunbounded]

Through the force of sheer stupid stubbornness, I think
