Excellent! It’s always an honor to be a part of your collab videos. Great to see the broad depth and breadth of people’s taste!!

[@libraryofaviking]

Thank you so much for joining! I need to read Monte Cristo!

[@NadiaAbdulrahman-]

Just out of time to pick The Brothers Karamazov haha

[@jessicafaircloth-symens8622]

Thank you for inviting me to participate in this annual tradition, Johan! I enjoyed hearing about everyone else's picks. As odd as my pick might seem, it is actually one of the most impactful books I've ever read, changing the way I think of not only the past, but humanity itself. All the best for your reads in 2025!

[@kyrosv1289]

It has really surprised me that you Philip have chosen a book by David Graeber! I was recommended: Debt: The First 5,000 Years (2011) by Graeber, but reading about economy is not that interesting to me, so I haven't made much effort to read it. But this one that you recommend here is a lot more interesting to me! Thank you Philip! Have you read any other book by David Graeber? or was this one your first?

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@kyrosv1289 This was my first, but probably not my last!

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Thank you so much Johan for having me!! This is one of the best end of year Booktube traditions! I am literally watching this on my TV and a notepad to take notes!

[@RedFuryBooks]

[@NerdLevelRising]

Thanks again for letting me be part of this dude, I was able to get some great new recommendations from the others here also :)

[@KindlesandKicks]

It was such an honor to be a part of this video with so many great booktubers. I loved learning about so many other great reads that will definitely expand my TBR. Thanks for the opportunity Johan!

[@DezmondZ]

I love how this turned out. Thanks for having me Johan!

[@BrianBell7]

[@valliyarnl]

Thank you for having me Jóhan 💛💛

[@alexe3700]

Hyperion was my #1 as well and has to be my favorite book ever.

[@davorstojmirov3195]

Ian Gubeli already found another favorite for this year...Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky

[@JoshReadsBooks12]

There’s some awesome recs in here! I had to jot down some notes 😂

[@kaki295]

I also read Hyperion for the first time this year and it has became not just my favourite book of the year but of my entire reading journey so far

[@IanTerronesReads]

Some great recommendations here, my favorite this year was the stand by Stephen king, no novel has ever made me hate a character as much as the stand did.

[@GenuinelyCurious120]

Kingdoms of Death is mine too. That book rocked me to my core. (Enjoyable is definitely a weird way to describe it lol)

[@charliemessano2128]

So glad sun eater is getting the recognition it deserves. Finished disquiet gods yesterday and it is without a doubt my favorite series of all time. And if the last book wraps up as promised it will be nuts

[@pixilixy]

I think you got almost all my fave booktubers here. My number one book has to be Gardens of the moon by Steven Erikson

[@shayandarzi]

wow a mention for david gemmell and legend i love that definitely more people should check him out highly recommend

[@FunFantasyBooks]

I need to read The Lions of Al-Rassan & Hyperion already!

[@BeingDaphne]

This was so fun to be a part of! So many UNIQUE recommendations 🔥 the first fifteen lives of Harry August sounds so interesting 🤔 also I really wish I got to seven year slip and the pillars of the earth in 2024 since they are on my tbr. Hopefully next year! 😆

[@PhineasPlauche]

My favorite book of the year is Jade Legacy

[@hansjuste13]

Reading it now!

[@MacScarfield]

I will be reading «City of Thieves» after Christmas, and both «Demon in White» & «Kingdoms of Death» are on my 2025 TBR! I have 3 books in contention for my favorite read of 2025: Since Josh/Red chose one of them, «A Brightness Long Ago» by Guy Gavriel Kay (Fantasy inspired by the Mercenary Wars of Renaissance Italy), I feel confident to pick «Imperium» by Robert Harris (Historical Fiction, book #1 in the «Cicero» Trilogy about the Eponymous Roman Statesman), with «Når landet mørknar» (Approximately «When The Land Darkens») by Tore Kvæven (Historical Fiction set during the 13th Century end of the Norse Settlement of Greenland, think of it as a Norse John Steinbeck novel, winner of the Brage Prize for Best Norwegian Novel in 2018) as a very close second! Cheers Brother!

Me 🤝 Triple B

[@papyrusted]

Whoa I love booktube

[@titantv4567]

What Johan should take away from this video is..... READ THE SUN EATER SAGA

[@heidi6281]

Johan the book of inventions is the perfect book for HG Well’s The Time Machine scientist to go back for to help the Eloi civilization, that is the one I would grab! The town in the Walking Dead could have used it too! 😀

[@Slobrojoe]

No Mike? 😢

[@feranmiolorundare7351]

Haha, so disappointed with this video. Top books of 2024 should be published in 2024. And should be Fantasy. Like pls explain the criteria before the video starts. Very serious baiting happening here.

[@ahill6858]

Not coming here for feminist romance books. lol what in the world.

[@valliyarnl]

then dont read that recommendation :)
