You’re in for a treat when you get to it!!! The new child David is so cute and I just love seeing how Arthur and Linus support eachother and protect their little found family

Valid, it is fantastic!! I haven’t even started thinking about favorites of the year by Empire of the Damned is probably up there and Somewhere Beyond the Sea…I always hate making those lists it’s so hard to choose sometimes xD

Yaaaas so happy to find someone else who enjoyed what the river knows!!! I need to get to the sequel stat. Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🤗

lolol at least it is over xD How very dare you not be obsessed with Daevabad....but Dara can go choke lmao Yaaaaas I loved David and all of the kids. I also tried the audio and the way the narrator did Chauncey especially just made him even more charming.

@@RodgersReads yeeees the narrator is exceptional, he really captures the soul of the characters SO well!!

@@akellerhouse83 oh the Crippled God 💀🤣 Thank you I appreciate your help trying to flash my ankles at the overlord lolol

Lmao not my fault you guys never started it. You guys just dodged it for months now lolol

TOO MANY BOOKS NOT ENOUGH SPACE. lolol Definitely relateable. Well I hope you do love them if/when you get to them! We're doing good, life is just lifteng. I hope you are well too!

Never ashamed if I love anything even if Esmay calls me a 5 star strumpet lolol

Hahaha definitely not the peak of anything for me, so I am glad I can be that more balanced perspective.

Yaaaaaas it deserves all the love it has been going. Poor T Kingfisher is really haunted by horses 💀🤣

@@RodgersReads Right? I've read a lot of her works but never picked up on the horse thing until the afterword. I hope this excises her fear of horses 😬

@ 🤣🤣🤣 for real though. I love horses and she gives them a bad reputation 🤣🤣🤣

I mean….wheres the lie though? 🤣🤣

Right!? Also I never listened to the audiobook for House but I did with somewhere beyond the sea and the way he narrated especially Chauncey made me love him even more. I’ll be curious if he ends up doing more books or if it’s done after this one

@ yeah I’m wondering if he’ll be continuing with more books too.

Yaaaas you should do it stat it’s so good. Especially with the world being on fire still it’s a nice little hug to brighten your day in book form

@ that’s awesome and exactly what I need right now

Fair as I was saying it the caveat in my mind was unless you were obsessed with Corban and Storm and the closer knit cast of characters 🤣 but as a more plot-driven reader Bloodsworn was more my jam. Yay! Glad we agree on Somewhere Beyond the Sea. If you forced me to choose I’d probably say House also is slightly better but that’s where we watch the found family meet and come together for the first time. Chauncey is my favorite too!!

Aw thank you so much!! 🤗

Look at me go 🤣🤣

@RodgersReads 😍

I’m surprised how many people haven’t picked it up yet 🙈 but hopefully when you get to it you agree!!

Oooh I keep forgetting the sequel is out now I need to go put a hold on it stat. I hope you have fun whenever the library gods grace you with it 🤣 I need to read the short story collection, I haven’t gotten to it yet but I want to!

Psssh that’s nothing you already DNF’ed one of my favorite series of all time 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@RodgersReads haha oh yeah I forgot about that oops

Thanks Chas!! Yaaaas the HitCS and somewhere beyond the sea are both so friggin good. I’m surprised how few people seem to have picked up the sequel at least in my corner of booktube. I hope you have a great time with Rainwilds! That reminds me I need to get my hands on book 2 of Fitz and the fool to keep on track with my goals.

You made the wise choice. Some days I wish I was better about dnfing 💀🤣🤣

It will definitely be a different flavor of video. 💀🤣🤣 someday you’ll finish the series and maybe we can have a liveshow or something about it. For me yes, it was better in every way from the world to the magic to the characters, the only thing it was missing was Storm but there were animal-like companions that I still quite enjoyed

I agreed I can’t wait for the sequel I feel like we’ve been waiting forever 👀

Needless to say I also have not continued with the series 💀 I definitely think Ascencsion with be the dragon fantasy you have been hoping for. It’s up there with Dragon Mage as my favorite boy and his dragon style fantasy. I know right? Just two more RotE books and I’ll have finished both that and Malazan this year 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Omg it’s so good. You should read when the world tips over I think you’d really like it

@@noelanikaanana right? Well done penguin. Aw thank you!!! Trying to get back on a once a week schedule so it shouldn’t be too too long before the next one

@@paperback_cat yaaaaaaas I hope you love it!!!

I know she’s just giving it out for free 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣 They really haven’t marketed much but it’s sooooo good I think you’ll love it. I mean luckily John Gwynne does solid “what came before” style recaps at the start of books 2 and 3 so you might be able to skip the reread if you’re crunched on time 👀 I friggin adore Chauncey and Lucy. And the sequel was so good, it’ll be in my September wrap up hopefully next week. I was so nervous about the sequel but it was just as adorable. How have you not read the Jasmine Throne?! I mean the conclusion comes out next month so now you can just binge the whole trilogy 💀

@@RodgersReads Yeah friend bold of you to assume that my memory is good enough to get by with a 'story so far' section hahah 🤣🥲 I am eager for a re-read though! Looking forward to the next wrap-up and more Cerulean gushing! And I am gonna make Jasmine Throne early 2025 priority for sure ;)))

@ lmao that’s fair, there are quite a few characters and places to be refreshed on 💀🤣 Yaaaaaasssss I love that series so much. And I’ll hold you to it because you’re missing out. Hopefully she really sticks the landing in the finale

Yaaaaaas send me all your thoughts whenever you get around to it!!!

@@RodgersReads Will do. I put it on my wish list. Fingers crossed 😊

I know who even am I? Weekly videos for almost a month?! 🤣 I’m trying to find consistency again because I missed chatting books with everyone

Hahaha I just was so entertained by her need to snoof everything. We spell it Katya because she’s named after the drag queen Katya 🤣🤣 My favorite Malazan book by far was Gardens of the Moon 💀 but I will definitely do some kind of should you read or retrospective style hopefully in November. Yaaaaas I hope you love it!

Awww thank you so much. That seems to be the consensus so I will definitely do one probably in November.

Hahaha ok. I’m planning to do it some time in November

It was definitely a solid reading month for me in August!! Well now the whole trilogy is out so you can just finish the series 👀 at least John Gwynne does the what came before style summary at the beginning of the sequels 🤣

Thank you so much!! 🤗

Yaaaaaas I hope you love Sunderworld!!!! And ok I’ll put something together I think in November to give myself some time to figure out what format I want to do it in.

Ok I will get around to it in November then maybe. I’m sure I have a different perspective than most people who have finished the series 💀🤣 🤣🤣🤣 right? I got used to it over the rest of the trilogy but it’s just such a jarring word choice that took me out of the story a lot in book 1

That’s fair I was on the fence for some of it but by the end I was satisfied with what it was but I could easily see it falling flat for people too

Well you’re not alone, I too was not blown away by the Crippled God, that will be in my September wrap up 🤣 that’s good to know that’s I’m not alone with Dust of Dreams. I’m not mad I read the series but I am happy it’s over 💀🤣 I had a lot of excitement because I had a job offer in August so I think that manifested in that month. Then I was the victim of a company reorg before I could even start which made me also read a ton to escape my feels 💀 11 books is a lot, you’re on fire this month

@RodgersReads oh no! So that means you didn't get to keep the job? I'm sorry. That really sucks. But you're well qualified and educated so I'm sure you'll find something awesome soon.

@ that does indeed mean I had to scramble to get my old lease back, cancel my new one, get my old job back etc. it was days away from being a total disaster. Aw thanks for the encouragement I know the right opportunity will come along eventually

@@MerrilyKristin yaaaaas, Vaporeon will always be my favorite but any time I play a pokemon game I tend to end up with a team of eveelutions + Mew 💀🤣 Good luck with Bride especially if you don’t like werewolves 💀🤣 it wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t great 🤣🤣🤣 I am officially done with Malazan I finished it either earlier this month or last month I can’t remember. 💀🤣 I think you’ll have a lot of fun with the Fireborne blade. And the Tawny Man is still my favorite series within the RotE. I’m working my way through the final trilogy I’m determined to finish that this year too that way I can go into 2025 having finished both Malazan and RotE 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Just 2 books left I can totally do it

@@Jillybeanzxo lmao if only it had been as fun to read 💀🤣 Yaaaaas, I’ve read her Queens of Renthia trilogy and the companion and now the Spellshop and I’ve loved all of it. I really need to get on more of her works because I always love them. Yaaaaaas, SoT definitely fits the Halloween vibes

@@RodgersReads omg I can’t believe I called you Richard wtf 😅🤦‍♀️ I’m so sorry! Ooo I just downloaded The Queen of Blood! The never ending TBR thickens once more lol

@@Jillybeanzxo Hahaha it's all good I thought about saying something and then I was like oh well lolol Yaaaaas I hope you love it.

@@esmayrosalyne well when they stop being trash I won’t have to rant 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣 and WtMH was basically if you took the main character, and their backstory, from ToG and threw them into a romance similar to ACOTAR 🙄 Yaaaas I love when rereads just HIT. Oooh I hope you love it. It’s so much fun, the books are super short like probably single sitting length for you and it’s a complete duology….whats not to love?

@@RodgersReads so basically, you will never stop ranting hahahah and yeah can't argue with that about WtMH lol will def keep you updated on the duology!!

@@esmayrosalyne Maybe I just need to give up on hetero romantasy because it also suffers from me just being over heteronormative romances lmao I will keep an eye out for your thoughts

@@RodgersReads i mean, the queers do it better anyway so i fully support this hahahah

@@esmayrosalyne Facts are facts. I just wish there was more epic romantasy with queer characters but alas.

@@WhiningMoon awww thank you so much. You definitely need to get on the Spellshop!! I think you’ll love it. I’ve been ok thank you, how about you?

@@RodgersReads so glad to hear you’re ok 😊🌻 tbh I just lost my favourite D&D character and I miss him 🥺🤣 (I’m glad for BG3 with mods soon I maybe am able to rebuild him 🤣I’ll never get sick of that game) did you ever lose a D&D character you were very attached to? (Idk if you play a lot but I recall you loving D&D/the forgotten realms😊 sorry if I assume wrong)

@@WhiningMoon NOOOOO what a blow. I haven't played D and D much since high school but I have fond memories of the owner of the local Rountable pizza letting my friends and me have a table and free sodas every Friday to play. BG3 is so good, so I hope you manage to rebuild and immortalize him there!!

@@chadia25 that’s fair I will say if you’re waiting for the true plot to kick in it doesn’t really happen until around the 50% mark. But I loved the cozy vibes but I can see someone getting bored of her cleaning up her childhood home and starting a jam shop 🤣

@@nitzeart I would LOVE a proper SoT sequel so I hope we’re manifesting that this happens STAT. This was my first time with her work but I’m so excited to read more by her. The next one of hers that I have on deck is Vespertine.

​@RodgersReads 🤞Yes I really hope we get a sequel. Every book from Rogerson is very different but I loved Vespertine so much. It's very... raw, it made me cry 😅 That rarely happens for me with books. Hopefully you enjoy it too! 🩷

This was my first time reading anything by her but I can’t wait to try more of her works. I think I might do Vespertine next 🤔

@@RodgersReads Do it!! I love Vespertine!!

Says the guy who could barely make it through throne of glass… when the moon hatched os 3-4 X longer and had uncomfortably similar characters and character arcs 💀 and throne of glass did it significantly better 🤣🤣🤣

@@RodgersReads let’s see if I make it through haha 🤣 💀

@@AFictionalEscapist I will need all the DM updates as you attempt it 💀
