[@libraryofaviking]

Welcome to the channel and thank you!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

[@libraryofaviking]

Nice to see Brian Staveley getting some praise!

[@irishknight6893]

Awesome!! My book of the year was Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry and fantasy book of the year is Empire of The Vampire and book released in 2023 was Ligjtbringer by Pierce Brown

[@BrianBell7]

[@DavidWKimber]

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

[@subroy7123]

OMG someone talks about Who Fears Death! I love that book!

[@BrownTown89]

Nice to see Ian on here!!🎉

[@NotSoAverageJo]

Oooo so many amazing recs!! & also, so many new booktubers to check out!! Love this!!

[@Jet-xk7ss]

Prince of Tides … one book I have read and reread and reread. Incredible read as usual the Stand.

[@elainedejong2806]

Love Prince of Tides. Pat Conroy is a genius.

[@MacScarfield]

Yeah, «A Song for Arbonne»! 🤗 It was my favorite book of 2021! So far, I have «Under Heaven» by Guy Gavriel Kay and «The Veiled Throne» by Ken Liu as my dual favorite reads of 2023, though I am also very excited to read «Bold Ascension» (sequel to «The Severing Son», my Top 3 read of last year, and those who have read it already say this one is even better!) by Vaughn Roycroft this December!

[@Ozgipsy]

Great books. Also loved Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary.

[@safinan8008]

Great video!! 🎉

[@SamHarrison2099]

Great EOY content as always, lots of Will of the Many just like Matt's video. Feels like that's moving up the TBR every time somebody mentions it.

[@derekd.4156]

Don’t read it. It put me into a reading slump for a few weeks because everything I read after it seemed so bad in comparison. I actually just got out of my reading slump, having almost finished the 11th cycle

[@arekkrolak6320]

Lonesome Dove is my number 10 in 2023, which is weird after telling everyone how awesome it was it almost didnt make it to top 10. Sadly some other books I was telling all the year were great had to go :)

[@RolReads]

Lonesome Dove not being #1 :o What else did you read?

[@QuestBoundReader]

Great lists featured here!

[@user-iw2md2gl4q]

Thank you!!

[@s.p.8508]

Hmm, tough one. I gotta go Light Bringer, with Swan Song and The Will of the Many as the runner ups.

[@Talking_Story]

Thanks for the invite my friend made my '23!

[@RolReads]

My dream is for my channel to one day be big enough to be featured on here :) Looking forward to the next booktuber favorites video!

[@libraryofaviking]

Welcome to booktube :)

[@KanwarAnand]

Dark matter is three stars. I also read it this year ; not even in my top 10 of year

[@Rajiv_34]

Love it! The next time you are doing a video like this please ask @bookswithzara to be on. She is wonderful! ❤❤❤

[@timandrickpodcast7696]

Thought Mike had an earring dangling 😂

[@mirzunayedali1724]

Lets go mike made the list

[@DeborahSutherlandDebinPei]

I have Lonsome Dove on my TBR but is it really a stand alone? Otherwise I have another series to read 🤔 as well as Jade City lol

[@patg6867]

Thank you @the_fools_tale ! Dungeon Crawler Carl is one of my favorite books and not one talks about it. It is hilarious insanity. Sorry Viking you probably wouldn't like it :(

[@L.L.MacRae]

This was brilliant!! I'm currently reading The Wall of Storms and The Will of The Many :D Project Hail Mary is probably my top book of 2023, too! So many amazing recommendations here :D

[@libraryofaviking]

I can't wait to get to The Will of the Many! Happy reading!

[@MargueriteKrux2]

I just read all 6 Dungeon Crawler Carl books in a little over a week. They're absolutely fantastic and had me laughing with tears at times. The Will of the Many is one of my top 5 books published in 2023.

[@booktube8156]

Good looking mom!

[@quiquegrb8000]

I'll save this for the end of the year, I don't want to be spoiled to their tops lmao

[@i_attri]

New to channel Do you read Japanese Fantasy light novels?

[@elisabethprice4697]

oh my gosh Ian!!!

[@icesakuragenesis5639]

Anotados muchos 🤩

[@DanBanan69]

You sound like you're norwegian, but it says you live in the UK. I can only assume it is to spread the genes we stole 1000 years ago back where they came from. A noble endeavor, to be sure. Jeg ønsker deg lykke til! Good idea to have so many different personalities recommend their books in one video, I got a lot out of it.

[@ASlaveOfAllah157]

hello I've been starting out as a historical fiction author would you be interested in reading one of my books viking?

[@awizardintraining]

why not wait till the end of the year? we still have 15 days to go. For me, some years, my favorite books have come almost literally at the end of the year

[@big_grub]

I will check out that Brian Staveley series sounds interesting

[@MillardLatimer]

I know zero people who would say The Will of the Many is better than Red Rising. It's such a not as good as Red Rising book. Smh. Hard disagree with that statement.

[@justinroberts8043]

Of war and ruin .. and Aiduels sin

[@luisfilipecaldeira]

Preety selfish of you to be asking all these people to reveal their book of the year on your own channel before they announce it on theirs. Nothing I would not expect tough
