That quote from the Sarantine Mosaic lives deep in my soul at this point. Can't put into words what those books made me feel.

[@jakebishop7822]

It just hits different

[@cappuccinocrafts2412]

Your cat looks a lot like my cat. And my cat also has excellent reading taste. 😊🐈‍⬛

[@jakebishop7822]

My cat actually wrote the script for this, and I just read it to escape her wrath

[@samuelleask1132]

Great list mate!

[@jakebishop7822]

Gracias

[@BasalThor]

This was a great video ( and all your series video's were great !). This is a fabulous list and it has made me even more hyped to read the series on there I haven't yet read/finished !

[@jakebishop7822]

Thanks!

[@esmayrosalyne]

Hey you got this up in a timely manner! Round of applause, please 👏👏👏 The fact that Sarantine Mosaic ranks even higher on a score perspective than RotE has me extremely excited to finally get to it sometime soon. And heeeck yes for Dandelion getting the love it deserves, it's a true masterpiece!!! I love your reading tastes, honestly!

[@jakebishop7822]

Thank you for noticing the lack of massive delay, sometimes I suprise myself.

[@BooksWithBenghisKahn]

Loved this list! Right with you on WoT, RotE, and Mistborn-I reaaaally need to read Dandelion and Sarantine!!

[@jakebishop7822]

Yes, yes you do. Thanks

[@TomOrange]

Love seeing the wheel of time this high on the list

[@jakebishop7822]

The wheel weaves as the wheel wills

[@cipriansirbu3699]

I've heard you speaking of Robin Hobb for ages,and being currently at 10% into Assassin's Fate I agree with every praise this series gets. It's unbelievable and I love it so much. It has become my second all time favourite series, only behind Lord of the Rings and above Stormlight Archive,formally second place.

[@jakebishop7822]

This is what we like to see, Stormlight was the #1 that RotE unseated when I read it. So glad you are enjoying it

[@goonerquinn4670]

This list correct

[@jakebishop7822]

Well that's good, I was really worried it was wrong

[@crystalsingh7325]

Awesome list! I really need to read a book by GGK. RotE is my favourite fictional series of all time 😊

[@jakebishop7822]

Fantastic choice for first! And yes reading a GGK book is a good idea

[@adamborst]

I meant to add this to one of your other newer videos, but your bedroom seems to have gotten bigger! I'm not sure how I didn't know you were a WoT fan, what a great thing to learn today. Without any quantitative analysis Dresden and WoT are my two favorites. One question for you, how were you introduced to GGK? Your passion for his stories really show through your videos so I'm curious how you got started there since I need to fit in some GGK early this year.

[@jakebishop7822]

I think I heard about GGK from Nicholas Eames in his Daniel Greene interview. I read Tigana as my first GGK, which is a good starting point but not the only good starting point.

[@ericF-17]

I think you just bumped ROTE up my TBR. Dang I have too many books to read...

[@jakebishop7822]

Sorry, but also I'm not so...

[@fithfath3615]

Cats are generally disagreeable by nature anyway. Seeing as how The Sarantine Mosaic is the only series I've read on your list Jake it has to be number 1 for me. 😀 Dandelion Dynasty is on my wish list and I'm hoping to get to it sometime this year, but I have a lot of books to get through before I'll probably pick it up.

[@jakebishop7822]

Well if you get to Dandelion i look forward to seeing what you think

[@KindlesandKicks]

Just started The Dandelion Dynasty and already enjoying it. Can not wait to get to the next books. Did you do a spoiler review? I’m curious to find out who your favorite character is after I’m finished the series. I read Realm of the Elderlings last year. And you were spot on! It is my favorite series of all time as well. I can’t wait to read it again one day.

[@jakebishop7822]

I did spoiler livestreams, one for each book with Jimmy, RJ, Bookborn, and Kyle for the 4 books respectively

[@KindlesandKicks]

@@jakebishop7822 Awesome, thanks!

[@JosephReadsBooks]

(I'm not gonna name the series in my comment this time so I don't spoil it for anyone. I don't have much to add about number 4. You are spot on with your thoughts. I have read the series 3 times but each time there were more books 😂. I want to read them again but it is so many books 😭. (I also enjoy the slog 😎) You thoughts on number three are the first time I have heard anything about his fantasy and I need to try them out. I will definitely check out number 2. I have been trying to figure out where to start with his works. I can't make up my mind. Honorable mention 1 is one of my favorites. I read them when they were new because I'm old now . I'm in the same boat when it comes to recommending it. It doesn't come to mind first anymore. Honorable mention 2 I love but I don't know if I will ever read them again. I love his writing and I agree with you about his characters being compelling but I just feel empty when the books are over. See my comment from part 1 about my wariness towards reading number 1. I will eventually give the first trilogy a chance. Keep up the good work!

[@jakebishop7822]

The wheel weaves as the weel wills. Dandelion is so good, I think you will really like it. If only I had an entire video on where to start GGK as for #1. Dewit. Or don't, whatever you choose. Thanks

[@praetorxyn]

Thanks for giving Wheel of Time some love. It seems en vogue to shit on it now, with about every book tube livestream I go to having a 15 or 20 minute segment dedicated to such.

[@jakebishop7822]

Any time

[@General_reader]

I finished book 7 of WOT and I can’t go any farther.

[@jakebishop7822]

That's ok, it's really long, not worth reading if you don't actively want to continue

[@readbykyle3082]

Too high for Wheel of Time but the other three make up for it 🔥 also wow I cant believe you left the trilogy known as the Lord of the Rings off your list

[@jakebishop7822]

It is a very good book, that is on my list of stand alone books. Can't be on the stand alone list and the series list

[@petervandeweyer517]

@@jakebishop7822 LOTR should be able to pull this off 🙂

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

Let’s go Robin Hobb!!!!

[@jakebishop7822]

An easy victory to be honest

@@jakebishop7822 It’s like putting a MLB All-Star up against a T-ball player.

[@calebmauer1751]

Your comment about how some writers make these cultural behaviors only apply to the NPCs and not the main characters - Steven Erikson did this with Lether. None of the POV characters care about money, but we're supposed to believe money is all the Letherii think about? It doesn't add up.

[@jakebishop7822]

Listen, don't tell the Malazan fans I don't want them to yell at me, they get a little violent when anyone says anything in Wheel of Time is better, but that is specifically one of the examples I was thinking of
