Everything I Read in April 2024 AND Book of the Month!
I finally got the signed HC Swan Song I've been so envious of in the background. Reading Sandman Slim with ya'll too!
@@ryandberry1 oh the Dark Harvest is a beautiful edition! Think I may start Sandman later today.
It's one of the greatest of all-time for a reason. It's as close to perfect as a superhero comic can get but I wish DC would respect Moore's wishes and left it as its own self-contained thing. I think it gave the superhero genre the critique and deconstruction it needed, but I think alot of creators took the wrong lessons from it.
Upped the bar for the medium as a whole in so many ways. I am ok with other creators using the world and characters. Those are the traditions that the medium relies on. I do feel they should be treated with respect and not just trotted out for a cash grab. It is such a tough line to walk.
My lofty goal. For you to read one of my books by the end of 2025. My actual books are not published yet so don't worry. Also, they will be under a pseudonym. Lofty goal. Guarantee you one thing...they will be shorter than any Brandon Sanderson novels and hopefully not have many boring parts.
Sounds like a great goal. I do 1 indie a month so when they get published I am counting you to let me know.
@@Talking_Story who says Indie? I'm going for Trad. I might have some DEI hiccups which might not pass, but we will see. Regardless I'm having them all professionally edited, as one will be soon undergoing now, but it's the next novel that will be the genre blender you and your friends will like.
@@momo_genX either way let me know when you have 1 ready
Awesome stuff John! There are an epic ton of Cosmere connections in the Lost Metal. I need to check out some Sandman Slim.
@@BookishChas that’s what I hear I am ready for them!
Definitely not gonna cry on the very first vid. 😅 Alex's recommendation was great! Definitely going on the TBR.
@@kimmichelle24 awesome! So happy to watch that TBR grow.
Anybody who enjoys A Song For Arbonne- and who the heck wouldn't?- I highly recommend everything else by GGK. If you don't know where to start, try Tigana and/or The Lions of Al Rassan. Great to see Guy Gavriel Kay on here. He is, imho, one of the greatest writers.
Also, I only discovered you because of the Twitter clip of you praising ASfA, and I'd like to say I am so pleased to have found this channel.
@@arcanics1971 welcome to the channel. So glad you found us. I have both Tigana and Lions bought and on the stack!
Very excited to hear what u think about sandman slim. Just finished the sequel.
@@filmaddiction26 I will be starting in the next few days.
Brian... that was high and inside :D
Come on, John. You're an actor. Look at the camera! :D
@@gryftkin I should be soooo much better at this 😀
OMG...😂😂😂 Love this!
@@RLDesrochers thanks o much we have a blast with this series.
Just don't burn yourself out on Sanderson and Cosmere before next stormlight release 😁
@@alynam82 I hope not to 😂
These are so much fun to watch. Thanks for doing this. Hoping someday to send a video clip of my own to include.
@@FineLine77 would be awesome to include you!
Does all ur family reads books?? Good luck with ur reading!! 😊
@@safinan8008 they do. Not as much they want but yes.
Once you have the Cosmere completed, you might try a little science fiction. Just sayin....
@@Dennis_M_Myers absolutely!
I want to thank Alex for his recommendation I will check that out! Ps thanks to Jakob for allowing Brian to highjack Town Square, my club sandwich went everywhere but I was happy about it, bizarre! Too funny 🤣🤣🤣 excellent video folks 😇🥳😎
@@dubhmoore575 so glad you had a good time. Sorry bout the sandwich 😂
You seriously have the best community, this is just a pure shot of dopamine hahaha I love it!! 🤩 Definitely check out the prequel novella by Andrew Watson (it's free to download if you sign up to his newsletter), I absolutely loved that and can't wait to read Harbinger of Justice now! And whoever allowed Brian to be this funny should get an award 🤣🤣🤣
@@esmayrosalyne he apparently planned that with Jakob as a surprise. What an awesome ending it was. Thanks as always Eamay! I gotta that novella as a shelf copy after what I am hearing about it.
@@Talking_Story Sneaky Brian 🤣 And yes, it also helps that the covers for Andrew's books are brilliant so def worth the investment as a whole ;)))
My brother is also massive fan of this game too lol 😊
@@safinan8008 it is beautiful but soooo frustrating.
These will carry over into August for me: *Grimdark Fantasy* Aspect-Emperor 2: White-luck Warrior (re-read) - I'm only a chapter in and I'm jazzed about reading prose again. There is so much LotR, Blood Meridian, the Dune sequels, ASOIAF in here as well as the biblical overtones Bakker loves to embed. Also a lot more Horror in this series than in Prince of Nothing. I believe Bakker has said when writing these he'd flip through Blood Meridian and the Catholic bible to nail the tone and prose he was aiming for. *Sci-Fi* Cloud Atlas / David Mitchell - I'm enjoying taking my time with this. *Western* Streets of Laredo / Larry McMurtry
@@thatsci-firogue that list is beyond awesome my friend. Happiest of readings!
@@Talking_Story I'm telling you, you'd like Bakker and McMurtry.
@@thatsci-firogue I have absolutely no doubts.
@@Talking_Story my brother of the Tusk, get a move on with Bakker 🤣
@@thatsci-firogue will do my best!
Dang it though, I intend to get something in for next Town Square. Unless I make it a running gag where I never actually get around to it and keep leading you on. Hmm...
@@groofay I love running gags but in this case I am hoping against a running gag.
@@Talking_Story This will not run, don't worry.
This was so fun! =) I love seeing such a beautiful community!
@@subjectiveexperiences1072 thanks so much we have the best time with it!
Interested to see what you think about the Lost Metal. I loved all the cosmere ties but still found myself wanting more from it.
@@TomOrange I am interested to see how this 1 goes as well.
Awesome Town Square as always!!! Loved it😂
@@TheBeardedBookBeast thanks so much brother!
Josh keep the videos coming. Lol thanks to all of u, I now have more books on my tbr. I hope ur all happy.😂
@@Hunter_Mars yes! If we brought more reading ideas and some chuckles for you we are very happy.
Thanks so much! I genuinely just try to ask myself, "How do I make a book rec entertaining and fun to watch?" I've got some stuff cooking, so I hope I don't disappoint, lol.
@@joshobrien4960 I’m just gonna repeat what has already been said LEGENDARY!
This is so awesome absolutely made my evening
@@krzysamm7095 so happy to have brought a smile your way!
Excited to see 10,000 subs probably end of year or next for sure. Keep up it up 💪🏽
@@teaandreads that would be astonishing.
This was great - awesome entries this month, guys! 😀
@@unlimitedreads thanks so much Chris!
Still debating of I want to patreon to share my own work. If it's ok with you, I might, but I am an author and not a reviewer.
@@momo_genX I am sure if you wanted to talk about your own work if it fits into the Town Square guidelines you would be all good.
these were so great! I just joined the Patreon, haven't commented much but I literally just found your channel like... last weekend I think? 😂 I'm currently reading the hellbound heart by clive barker, and the forgetting moon! thanks for bringing such joy and love for SFF back to me
@@thepagesofsamantha Barker and Durfee?! That is some fun awesome darkness you have on tap! Welcome to the channel and the Patreon! Thanks so much for all the support and compliments.
I've only read The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance, and that was three years ago. I loved both books and I'm rereading Way of Kings right now. I'm beyond excited to finally read Oathbringer soon because I LOVE Dalinar! He was my favorite character since the Way of Kings; glad to hear it is amazing!
@@09RetsamEdalb if you are a Dalinar fan you gonna love Oathbringer! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it.
Ok I know you don't watch the show but you really should watch your earlier videos compared to now. This is the best damn booktube channel period. Congrats on the 7K and here's to 100K more.
@@MichaelWayne13 that is extremely kind of you my friend!
Brian cracked me up good on this one! Lol
@@N.A.Summur oh yes he did!
Jakob, I am counting a few more beard hairs each time I see you. Loving it. John, you have a wise goatee. 🎉 Great video guys
@@BeardofDarkness and this is from a dude that knows beards!
If there's a Roast of Talking Story and Brian is not the emcee, it is not a valid roast of Talking Story.
@@groofay so true
7K!! 🎉 Congrats, John & Jakob! Town Squares are one of my favorite things to watch on RUclips! When Brian came on I laughed so hard I cried and scared my dogs lol. Absolutely priceless! 😁🤣 Thanks for sharing these with us!
@@StoryGirl1128 all the thanks to you guys. I am just having a great time like you 😀.
Heidi won for me this week bc she shouted out the Witcher :)) gonna check the pod out! Also congrats on 7k!
Yes, the Witcher gets such short thrift these days! This ETL Witcher Book Club podcast really is wonderful. I also put Baptism of Fire in my favorite reads collage as many people jump ship at Time of Contempt when the BEST is yet to come.
@@valliyarnl thanks so much. Heidi’s trophy is on the way.
@@heidi6281 The ice skating scene in Tower of the Swallows is one of the best scenes I’ve ever read 😍😍
Always a blast! You've gathered such a great community here. Oh my gosh, Brian... masterfully done.
@@christhewritingjester3164 thanks so much. I agree Booktube is the best community out there.
Brian’s Talking Story Parody is some of the best RUclips I’ve seen in quite a long while 😂
@@michaelgionti9988 oh he nailed it!
Yay! The best time of the month has come again. Feels like forever since I watched Talking Story even though it's just a week. Work has been crazy intense lately but now i'm back! Congrats on 7k! Well earned and hopefully many more in the future :)
@@emzstern thanks so much for all these kind words. I hope things lighten up for you at work.
@@Talking_Story Thank you, it will, now I'm free for a few days :)
@@emzstern wonderful!
I generally don't like watching myself...self-consciousness I guess? But I appreciate you guys' kind words. Gave me a pep in my step for today. It was also fun seeing all the people come together for the Town Square! Josh and Brian's videos had me cackling good. Keep up the good work guys! Til next!
@@someokiedude9549 you certainly deserve that pep in your step nephew!
John the original music I had for my 5 star collage was “ Ramble On”when Plant is singing about Mordor.. which was perfect!
@@heidi6281 you are so right. That is perfect
20 seconds into the video but I gotta stop and say…. As a fellow member of the group of about 56 total people that drink enough Dr Pepper to keep them in business, I am heartbroken to see you drinking a Mr Pibb 😢
@@michaelgionti9988 😂it is a rare occurrence I promise.
Congratulations on ur 7k 🎉 😊wishing u the best!! 😊
@@safinan8008 thanks! We are blown away.
Hi 👋 from you uk 🇬🇧 great book haul!! Happy reading!! 📖
@@safinan8008 thanks so much! Happy reading to u in the UK!
So much fun to contribute! What a great way to end the month.
@@Andrew.Downing this is wonderful to hear! Thanks so much!
The inappropriate locations to do a book review are nothing short of legendary! 😂
@@fantasyfanatic6038 he is a legend!
Haha I promise my wife has complete control over the upstairs haha she lets me do my thing in the basement haha you guys should see the rest of it! I bought her a few sweet avatar the last air bender stuff to hang on her side. I may have her join me next month and we can both do a review! THESE VIDEOS JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!
@@albinorhino83 yes! I would love a book chat with the Mrs from guys!
Belltube -- Hilarious! This was a great episode of Townhall!
@@alynam82 it was. Thanks to all!
BellTube coming with THE HEAT!!! 😅😂😅😂
@@mattamant915 yes!!
I feel like these just get better and better and Belltube’s section was just… *cackles* amazing!

Yes it was.
