Sadly, minalima has been removed as the illustrators for the remaining books, so now whoever else gets hired would probably have a very different design than minalima's. I hope they go back on this decision.

My Ranking 1 - Valley of Horses 2 - Clan of the Cave Bear 3 - The Plains of Passage 4 - The mammoth Hunters 5 - The Shelters of stone 6 - The land of painted Caves.

I found the first book in this series as a 10 year old in a charity shop in a country house and absolutely fell in love. Jondalar is my least favourite character in the series for reasons im sure many people agree with. Unfortunately I adore the other Zelandonii characters so much that the fifth book is my favourite and if I'm going to pick one to reread it will be shelters of stone

Good luck

I am so late and behind, but congrats! This is so awesome! Especially after how much time and effort you put into it!

So bummed to hear about the Naomi Novik series! I have those on my TBR shelf but haven’t been motivated to pick them up 😅 I usually love her writing style, but I haven’t jumped on those for some reason. Also, Miles is getting so big!! Hope you’re doing well!

I’ve missed see you sweet friend! Love this method! The Help is one of my favs! And the Testaments was so interesting! Good luck on the rest of this year! 🫶🏻

oh saraa Your channel is amazing so cool

🪻🌷🌻

So happy to see you filming again!!! 💕

great video! 🌻

Agree completely, thank you for posting. Lets not forget how erotic book two is too!

I've read all of Ken Follett, and I would say the only two completely outstanding works are the first two of the Kingsbrige series. Absolutely blew me away with quality and reading experience. The rest, great, but not amazing

The first two books are so, so, so good. I don't have words. Read them

My ranking is 1, 3, 5, 4, 2 and 6.

I am 70 years old, and I have reread Harry Potter many times. Sometimes it was because I was stressed and needed a comfort read.

This was so fun! ❤

So in other words you have no attention span?

I really want to get a copy but I know that they only have three books out in this edition. What do I do?

So pretty 😊

Valley of Horses for the win. THE book of the whole series hands down.

Well, I agree with your rankings completely. I have reread most of the books multiple times. I am drawn to The Valley of Horses time after time. Watching Ayla living by herself in her valley is something I appreciate and find so inviting. I love the character of Ayla and she is my favorite literary character of all time.

I didn't like the painted caves either. I was expecting more interactions with the Clan, e.g. for trading, where Ayla's language and signing skills could be put to even more use.

You said no spoilers beyond the Farseer teilogy... Did you just spoil that the ships are made of dead dragons?! I hope this is not a big spoiler 😢

I like your intentional handling of your TBR. I read quickly and re-read a lot, so I have a lot of books waiting to be read. Already at the start of May, I have read more than 70 books, so I don't mind a big backlog. But I think being thoughtful is an important value in this age of overconsumption.

I just got a Little Free Library for my yard, and I am looking forward to being a LFL Steward and sharing books with neighbors. So while I wait for the appointment with the handyman who is going to dig the post hole and install it, I am reading and rereading books to add to the LFL. It's motivating to have that deadline approaching, and I am able to look at the books and ask myself, will I re-read this book? Do I really want to own it, or can I pass it onto another reader?

Ahhh this was so motivating to watch 🥹 congratulations on reaching TBR zero! I just started my own journey to zero this year and am looking for more videos to watch to keep me motivated. Do you have a playlist of the videos relevant to your journey? Would love to watch from the beginning but not sure where to start

@Maeve_Ever_Books brought me here. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

Best wishes with what you are reading. I'm currently on page 785 of the Count of Monte Cristo. Still got a long way to go. Happy reading.

Um. Wow. I had never considered Brukeval as a possible love interest... and I gotta say... I kind of like it? Like I feel like that would have offered some fantastic themeatic advantages.

The Last Kingdom by Cornwell

That's an incredible gift! The final product was worth the effort and I'm sure the process of making it was interesting. Thanks for sharing!

I feel some type of way about this... This is my opinion, if yours differs, that's fine. I just have a lot of feelings about this because I've been stewing over it for a decade. I was with you all the way up until the end. I've read all the books and whenever I recommend the series I tell them to read the first one and suffer the cliff hanger. Reading the rest isn't worth it the unsatisfying conclusions. Waste of time. Jondalar is a big jealous baby and I cannot stand him. He should have married that horrible lady at the 9th cave and saved us all the trouble. Having a big dick and pretty blue eyes really isn't a personality. He's got no redeeming qualities. Spare me the same monotonous sex scenes and the ungracious judgement. It would have been best if she'd married Ranec... He really loved and appreciated her. He also had a personality that was complex and mature. The Mamutoi should have been her home. They grew so much with her and it was downhill after leaving them. Because we just experienced the same conflicts. It meant that it was boring and repetitive because we'd already done it all. By the forth book I started resenting Ayla too- she's lost any kind of meaningful internal conflict because she was left to be this weird anime hyper innocent but able to tell if anybody is lying and had 5 million skills and can speak every language. Mary Sue. Yuck. She earned a good life... But reading about her perfecting got on my last damn nerve. Failing that, plains of passage would have ONLY been saved by visiting Durc- what a wildly disappointing/anticlimactic series. The first book was SO rich in internal conflict and did such a phenomenal job of teaching us about the world without doing TOO many text walls. It's truly magnetic. Clan of the Cave Bear is my favourite book. I have read it many times. I have long since thrown out the rest of the series. Not worth my time.

Wait, did you really use CE as a way to spare people's feelings. Or is it actually in the book this way?

My order (favorite to least favorite) is 2, 3, 4, 1, 5, 6 (sorry, I can't do a countdown). Though sometimes this changes depending on my mood. I have books 1-4 on tape and I used to listen to them on repeat while working a desk job. I love the first four books, thought the fifth one was decent, but really loathed the last book. For me, it didn't even see like it was written by Auel...Ayla and Jondalar felt sooo OoC. That book made me so angry that I threw it across the room...it slid under my bed and remained there for at least a year before I picked it up again and forced myself to finish. I disagree with you about the cheating thing though. I felt like, given the society that they were in where no one was monogamous and most didn't care, the issue (to me) was that he slept with Marona. I think it could have been ANYONE, but her and Ayla would have been okay with it...but he picked HER...his ex-GF...the woman who was so mean to Ayla when they first arrived. That, to me, was unforgivable. And then the whole part about what she did to get back at Jondalar. Totally disgraceful. It was as if they hadn't learned a damned thing from book three! Mostly, I pretend that tLotPC doesn't exist! Lol. Unlike you, I LOVED the traveling of book four...so much fun! The only thing I didn't like was Jondalar's weird upset over Wolf and wanting to abandon him. Book three was great, but the miscommunications drove me nuts. I'm not sure who you're talking about when you talked about your favorite character in that book...I didn't recognize the name you used...maybe it's just your accent. The second book...LOVED all the stuff in Ayla's valley! ♥ And the only reason I put book one last is...as a mother, I could NEVER leave my child behind. I get why she did, but I couldn't do it.

Brilliant books, the 4th is my favourite.

I am the same I can not go out and pass a book outlet or a book store withought buying a bunch of books, I have been back into reading since 2020 and now I have almost if not over 400 books, I am like at that age or stage where I don`t need anything for christmass so books is all im into, my mum says im never going to get a bf or partner if I do not get out, really I have been single for 5 years and now I prefer me and my books, I put the new ones to the back and the older they get the more they go to the front bottom of my shelfs so I read them like in order like from a conver belt, sometimes Im like a book a week or ever two or 3 days depending on the slow pacedness or how I feel at the time or how long I do not lie down and wast time sleeping, so thats like 48-86 a year and if im really luck if I am able to read 12 books a month that would be 144 a year like last year I read 86 books, and I have no kids I still stay with my parent and eat sleep sometimes I take little half hour naps during the day have my full sleeps at night or if I am that I sometime stay up till 3am reading then go to sleep, so If im lucky I can read 24-43 books every 6 months and yes I have a job for 4 hours once a week long story theres a regal reason for that, so my mum is allways saying I need to finish all my books in my bookcases first before buying anymore books, then when I see more books I like I buy them and it is useually by the bunch or series, I would never reread books, I prefer the physical books but I respect othere formats, what slowed me down a bit last year because I was reading in turn one of my umpteen books on my ipad for half an hour or an hour a day when that could have been more by then so that could have been 50-90 books that year, I have a book buying addiction and I just think I hate to see a space empty on my shelf🤣, I would never unhall unless I have finished reading that book then I would donate to a place of choice, the reason why I would rather put that book if I unhalled or DNFed them to the side because if I unhalled them I might whant to read them in the future and it would save me from buying them again, then any first editions etc I keep to one side, hell I think I call it my own book bank.

I put them in this order 1. Shelters of Stone 2. Clan of the Cavebear 3. Valley of Horses 4. Plains of Passage 5. Land of the Painted Caves 6. Mammoth Hunters I really like the story in the 5th one, the 1st one as well, the dual plot line in the 2nd one is really good, the fourth is mostly boring but it's interesting enough with the different tribes, and then the sixth, it's really stupid, because it might be interesting, but knowing that the infedility part is coming up, so you can't focus on the actual story, and the third one is really good, but it's at the bottom, because the love triangle is so mfing stupid, I can't handle it, if that wasn't in the story, this book could be the best or second best, but the love triangle is so bad, it puts it to the worst place

Nice idea. Best wishes to your reading and to your channel in 2024.

I'm also thinking to read this

Hello, Your video is very good, but it is not properly SEO and optimized. Due to this, your video views are not coming as expected and your channel is not growing. Are you interested in fixing the problems?

I totally agree with your rankings! I loved and disliked all the same things you did. One thing you didn't mention about the sixth book was how Jonayla had absolutely no personality and oftentimes it seemed as though she didn't even exist. I had been very excited to see how Ayla and Jondalar would raise a daughter, after Ayla's detailed journey in the first book with Durc. In the end we learned a lot more about how Ayla mothered a horse, a cave lion, and a wolf than her human daughter. A huge opportunity missed, in my opinion.

What a cool concept! You gained a sub here.

Also very calming video❤

Love how the ball family read is in there ❤

How frustrating - I feel you ❤

This is awesome - love it and I’ve just discovered shorts ❤

I still have that book on my bookshelf seems like a year now. Hope you’re liking it. ❤😊
