Good luck buddy
Are you forcing the accent? It's like you're both English and American
Nope, not forcing it, it just developed like this. I'm from the netherlands. The accent really comes from watching youtube and tv shows etc, so it kinda is a mix of a bunch of different things.
5 minutes in and now I understand your thumbnail. So many books for your July TBR!
Love this book much better than his other series which I enjoyed, currently Fourth Wing and Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros, they're incredible as well
Added to my shopping list. Thanks for the recommendation and explanation.
Defo checking this out, sounds great! Thanks for the rec!
I really want to read this! The wait at my library is so long though 😭 Unrelated - my husband walked in while I was watching this and after inspecting your shelves he said, "he's got good taste" 😆
Haha thanks, and there's so much more off screen
Thanks for explaining the book so clearly. Lots of creators kept suggesting it, but no one that I had seen explained enough about what the book was actually about. This was helpful!
omg sounds so good, cant wait to pick it up! love ur channel btw :)
The Will of The Many is such a good book - the politics, the world building, the writing, everything it top-notch.
I've read three T. Kingfisher books so far, and am in the midst of reading a forth. So far I think my favorite has been The Twisted Ones. I'm a dog person, and my grandfather had coonhounds, so Bongo might have helped nudge it into first place.
dont stop bro you are going to blowup some day
I feel the same about The Will of the Many! It was so much better than I thought it would be. So good. Love your content brother!
Thanks for putting me onto Adrian Tchaikovsky. I’d recommend The Last Dragon Home too for your fantasy fix. Keep up the great channel :)
we have almost exact opposite taste in books, but i subbed because the way you articulate the books makes me want to read them... knowing i dont like the genres hahaha. great video!
I read the outsider a few years ago, but to be honest I don’t remember what it was about, but description you gave did help. I remember that I actually like it, and it was a 3 star for me. I read the reappearance of Rachel price in April, and I enjoyed it very much, the end was a bit abstract to be honest. The ending of good girls guide to murder is also a bit wild in the same way. I read cultish too, and it was very interesting. The house in the cerulean sea is my favorite book of all the time, I’m very happy that you also like this book🌞
Lovee this video. Needed someone to hang out with while organising my bookshelf. I just picked up cultish myself, need to get to it!
I always suggest John Gwynne if you like fantasy!
Ive read The Shadow of the Gods and the Hunger of the gods. Really liked both of them so will definitely go back to his older books at some point!
Brilliant shelf, hope mine will be like that one day.
I really wish I had your reading stamina! Lots of interesting options I’ve written down, thanks for sharing!
✨✨✨✨✨
I'm new here but the books on your shelves look like I'll enjoy sticking around
good to hear a review of richard osmont because I've had my eye on those for a while
I also read karin slaughter as popcorn, like a palatte cleanser
oh I agree with the retellings of myths! I find that unless we're doing something unique I don't enjoy them so I've decided to avoid them unless reviews are so overwhelmingly positive like circe
I just found your channel. So cool to hear you enjoyed Project Hail Mary! That’s one of my favorite books. I’m gonna reread it soon. Anyway, I subscribed.
Babe wake up, new XC video just dropped!
ahahaha love it
6:50😂 🙈 clearly an amazing Cat toy! 😂
7:19 - love that analogy, I now have a very clear idea of that book 😆💜📚
5:14 😂😂😂😂
0:58 - love Stat visual and chat at the beginning- books stats always make me happy 😂💜📚
There’s a different translator for the 2nd book because Ken Liu had another project commitment and the publishers wanted to get it out. Good to see you back! 😁
Post when you can and want to, and keep it fun! I've never heard of Janice Hallett before this and that book sounds extremely fascinating. I'll watch out for your thoughts on it for sure!
“had a mental breakdown” relatable, lol. Thanks for an update! D&d sounds so fun. And don’t force yourself to upload too much, would suck to get burnt out and then you step away completely. I like the idea of uno tbr. I might give that a go next month.
Library looks good. best wishes with your reading choices this year. I hope they make you happy.
Read house at the bottom of the lake by josh malerman. Enjoyed it but don't fancy reading bird box. Seen film, enjoyed it but don't think I want to read the book
I'm really looking forward to mark Lawrence-book that burned the world release
i added like half the books to my goodreads so thank you, i love how you read riley sager for filth 😭 i read him ONCE and hated it but i’ll give him a try again. also winter’s orbit in your bookshelf, GREAT taste
Winter's Orbit has been on my shelves since it was released and ehhh I have not actually read it 🙈
Oh my gosh, I loved this video and your reviews! I'm so glad I found your channel!
Trying to work out your accent english-american or american-english. Fascinating. Love the book haul
Hahaha im Dutch, its a mix of school and self taught and just randomly picking up accents along the way
@xcsbooknook would never of guessed. Brilliant 😆
So Good ❤❤ Loved your reviews ❤
You have such great energy! Loved this :)
Thank you so much!!
Great video! :)
The way you use UNO to make a tbr is actually genius
this was an instant subscribe after I cheered at my monitor for the Pineapple Street review 🤣 Bravo, loved these reviews
I’m so glad I found this account!
Thank you for these reviews! The pineapple street one got me cackling. Intresting about Starling House, I want to read this book but knowing me i think i will have the same issue 😅
Your review of pineapple street makes me want to read it just to hate rich people even more 💖💖 THANK YOU for making me smile today!!
Great video! Looking forward to the next one! 😀
Such a cute video! Love your energy!
The Martian is a great read! Haven’t read Project Hail Mary, but the Martian is also filled with science but in simple, interesting way!
Fourth wing is so badly written… it’s sad that due to TikTok some books gain so much traction that is not really deserved. Instead of seeing different books, the algorithm pushes the same and same again… and then creators jump on the opportunity to put out something viral, so there are even more videos about it. Wish the system worked differently…
My reading goals for this year are very modest, only 30 books! I got a Kindle as an early Christmas present in mid-November and I have rediscovered my love for reading, I read 12 books during that month and a half lol. So now my TBR list is growing exponentially. I'm excited to get new recs and find new authors. I will be adding you on GoodReads, by the looks of your bookshelf it seems we have a similar taste! Looking forward to watching your vids.
