oh you can TOTALLY tell when the author is throwing shade at someone, especially a specific generation. Solid review!

I grin every time Boomers, Gen-X and Millenials come up because I have no clue which group is which! 😆 Which one am I? Who knows! 🥹

“I’m on edge all the time.” 😂 Relatable.

your unnecessary laughing make the whole video really annoying to watch.

dragon book !!!

Good luck with the trick-or-treatathon!

🌳 and 🐉 crossover side story! 😆

❤❤

aaaye love the arc thats so cool!

My goodness! I just saw this. Thank you for meeting this book where it lives. You are an ideal reader for this collection. ❤

Wow! I don't think this has happened before. At about the 60 second mark of this video, you sent this book soaring to my TBR !!!! Well Done!!!!

Ooo, I thoroughly enjoyed “The Luminous Dead” when I read it earlier this year, but it’s often not too popukar. It felt very claustrophobic. I loved the atmosphere. My BotM for September ended up being “Every Star a Grave” by Jay Posey. I’m hoping to read the sequel in October, but I already have too much on my October TBR via Readalongs, carryovers and such. PS - I recently scored a copy of “A Tidy Armageddon” which you tweaked my interest in a while back.

yaay winning an arc

i love the dragon kings of oklahoma cover. he's hot haha

🍂🍂🍂

❤❤

The time jumps kinda lost me by the end since I got invested in Destry's story. The worm train was very cool though.

Hey, I hauled this book too! By the sounds of it we are similarly aligned as to the environment - I’m almost completely veggie nowadays simply because I grow much of my own food out of concern for our future. The cute and cosy aspect might be tougher for me, however… 🤔 One query out of sheer curiosity - this episode gets a YT banner link to learn more about climate. Is that something you put on or does YT apply it automagically somehow? Really just interested in the behind-the-scenes, it’s not something I have any kind of problem with because I’m not a frothing c-theorist type 😆

Solid review as always!

"Except for salmon" saaame

I need your thoughts to figure out mine lol😂

"For...What ever month we're in" Mood!

I just finished reading it and I’m in shambles 🫠🫠🫠

*spoiler included : The description when the first person is eaten by the T-rex (a young, beautiful girl named Beth, I think) was brutal. "she felt the worst incontinence as her intestines slid free from her abdomen" that's paraphrasing but, you get the point. So brutal! This book was a lot of fun, well paced and despite being a ridiculous premise, was played sttaight and it worked perfectly. I absolutely loved it!

It’s rare that I sample a book via the ‘peer inside’ thingy on the ‘zon, but your words suggest it might be a worthwhile exercise here 🧐 You remind me how much I prefer the subtle characters to the loud and boisterous. Not sure when I flipped that bit in my brain either 🤔 “nasty breading” 😆🐟🍞

August clark wrote a witch ya trilogy before. I agree that the YA loudness could have influenced the adult debut

The book tucked read all his books this was so bad can't believe it was the same auther.

Modified Bingo!!! “Going back and reading these books”? Well, I’m not as successful acquiring yet olde books as you are 😊 I even have trouble with books released in 2016-2018 - fun fact, I ordered a trilogy from said years and so far they’ve sent me book … THREE. Great, what am I supposed to do with that?! 😆 MAKO clip! 🤗

The Pan are from the UK. I've been reading this series for the last year and read 5 about a month ago. They're great right after some big knotty book.

i love the podcast about pop culture hosted by Hannah McGregor and Marcelle Kosman. It's called material girls. I highly recommend

I completely agree!

If the first sentence didnt drive you away, you must be a manchild

🫢 So was your childhood swearing card the ultimate genesis of your Classic SciFi Bingo Board⁉️I do love your signature Sound & Fury channel tangent topics 👰‍♀️😁

I didn’t make it very far into this book review. It sucked from the start. To start a book review by reading the dust cover and saying the book isn’t interesting and that it’s no value… Doesn’t prompt me to listen to the ramblings of some egocentric person that thinks she deserves time on air.

I don’t have a tale of considering what happens to a partner, but I did wake up this morning dreaming that my house roof had lost a tile and there was a gaping hole 🌧️ No idea what the connection is to anything, but I wasn’t getting back to sleep afterwards! 😱 The cover art is lovely. Do you think you might replace your soggy/crinkly copy with a pristine version? I confess that is how I roll, despite the ‘character’ of your copy!

🧛‍♀️ I don’t remember book blurbs or movie trailers, yet I still don’t want to read a blurb or see a trailer. I don’t mind blurbs on BookTube because I’m not going to remember a thing by the time I get around to reading it. “Why did I buy this book? 🤷‍♂️ Who knows!” 😆

whaaat your daughter is named after a vampire queen? haha that is kick ass

Omg, when is book 2 out?!?

What are 'bergens'?

ooo yea thanks for mentioning that I would have been triggered

Hi Can you tell me how 'scat' was used in this book (just picking out one of the many 'taboo tropes' she uses...) I would be curios to know if she had any orginal thoughts or ability to use it outside of the ole cliched use it receives on porn sites etc Thanks

🫣 Not “horrifically disgusting” but rather “restrained/yeesh/body horror” still sounds uncomfortable to me! 👩🏻‍🏫 Particularly enjoyed the writing masterclass that gave a clear example to reinforce your point. These are tidbits I am not going to noticed and I really appreciate this kind of insight.

I read this earlier this year as well, and felt the same way, it floored me. The combination of really beautiful and lush prose with the horrific elements just worked so well, in a contemporary Irish Gothic mode, if you will. (My review isn't coming until the end of the month, closer to publication). This is the first time it is being published in the US, the original publication was only in Ireland, I think. Your writing 101 example was a nice touch, and really clear and direct. Offering a positive critique and then dissecting it and rearranging/re-imagining it was a smart way to highlight the author's choices regarding style and tone.

“OMG, this book is messed up!” 😆 😲 I *genuinely* gasped out loud when I saw you whip up “The Gentle Giants of Ganymede” *because I own that book*!!!! Holy 💩 I don’t believe it, I actually have a copy and have read (several times) one of your classic SF books. Amazing, first time! BUT! That’s book two in a trilogy (that later became a quadrilogy), and I’d definitely recommend book one, “Inherit the Stars”, first in this case. I really hope you see this msg now! Catch ya later!

📖 Oooo, I book that I’ve actually read! I’ve even completed the trilogy, last year I think it was. Good times. This was my first exposure to Nevair’s writing, and I’ve since gone on to get caught up with “Agent Renault Adventures” too. I like the fluidity of the writing, so I was very interested to hear how you had got on too.

Excavating alien ruins is my jam too, but I have to wait until November this year before I can get my mittens on this book. Physical ARCs were appearing all over BookTube months ago, making it all quite agonising for me! Actual genuine splutter over keyboard LOL at the 🍍 tangent! I had just taken a swig of Kombucha as well 😋 I’ve read the first two “Final Architecture” books. They’re a tad too fast-paced for me - like, they visit ancient alien runes, have a fight, AND THEN LEAVE!!! Wat?! - but there are a couple of stand-out characters there, FWIW.

Awesome review! Gave me exactly the info I was curious about before picking it up. Cheers!

[spoiler comments] I finished Nothing But the Rain yesterday. It’s true that it’s stuck with me overnight but I’m afraid I was left dissatisfied. I think it’s fine to say we don’t need an explanation of what’s happening (eg why are they losing memories, why this town only (or is it this town only - the ending implied it was), why have they been blocked in?) - but give me another reveal instead. The information I had at the end of the novella wasn’t much different from what I had after ten pages. So for example, at one point I considered that perhaps she just has dementia or an illness and all this information about rain and experiments and journals would be burst by the reveal that it’s her own paranoia. And what a great metaphor it could be for the real world struggles many people have (I accept the metaphor is still there). But no, it turned out to be what she thought on page 1. Then when we got to Part 2 it felt like a wasted potentially brilliant plot device. Because the opportunity was for her to go with Katie unquestioningly, but her attitude towards leaving was quickly the same as it had been at the end of part 1. I praise that this came from character and gave us something to think about when it comes to how memory affects (or in this case, doesn’t) our behaviour, choices and decisions. But this was a plot device that didn’t really affect the plot. But it did raise my expectations for a Part 3 where she wouldn’t just find the same diary we’d read, but another one from BEFORE (before part 1) so that reframed the WHOLE thing - perhaps revealing that being made a prisoner was a trick and all the notes she’d made like ‘they shoot on sight’ were disingenuous and maybe even made by someone else. But in my opinion the opportunity wasn’t taken. What we’re left with is a simple story with one character who’s not particularly described; Katie, whose character and motivations are utterly unclear; Zoe, who’s ‘quiet’; and a man who had yellow gloves and is a coward? The author creates a clear atmosphere at least and the central idea was new to me. And like I started with - it stuck with me overnight so the ideas contained within are compelling.

Thank you for the in-depth review! I just ordered this off Amazon... Im just hoping that the Xenos don't just get portrayed as cannon fodder like they do in all the other AVP books I've read 🙏
