Couldn't have dreamed of a better way to start the new week, SO much wholesomeness and love and joy!! I am beyond happy for you all that Dragonsteel has been such a phenomenal experience, and I can't thank you enough for letting us experience a bit of that fun vicariously through you here at home 🥰 Hope Wind and Truth is everything you were hoping it would be and more! I am halfway through and having A BLAST! Happy reading ❤
It was wonderful meeting both you and Jacob at Dragonsteel. Both of you are as genuine in person as on you are on the channel. Look forward to meeting up again at some point.
@@JohnfromNY89 was awesome to meet you my friend. Was hoping to run into you again so we could meet your wife. Send her our best. Hope you had a great con.
Awesome video, you guys are all the best! Love 2toRamble and Daniel too, what a group of booktube royalty! Great videos all week, very appreciated and so much fun!
Crazy to see you nearing 10k subscribers! I think you only bad a handful of videos when i first found this channel a year or so ago. You guys definitely deserve it. Consistently putting in the work!
Great weekly update 😂 Dragonsteel was fantastic, we need to organize an even bigger group for Worldcon if possible! The Last Kingdom is sooo good! I think the next two are even better, personally.
So glad you met Daniel Greene & Brian Lee Durfee! Two more Talking with Tubers Artist Journey Hybrid Shows should be booked for 2025!! Brian ‘s two favorite books, Dragonbone Chair & Lonesome Dove! Daniel I know is a WOT guru! Two perfect guests for me!
@@heidi6281 would love to talk with them. Brian said he was doing well enough to join our buddy read group of his trilogy from last year for that talk!
It's amazing seeing your channels cross over, feels like everyone's at dragonsteel. Also, glad you got to meet Jake Bishop. Another incredible booktuber.
Great video guys love the chat I am also picking up Curse of Mistwraith for Jenuary and Book of The New Sun for the read along looking forward to joining the conversation. I still need to pick up The Gallant I'm ready for my hair and hat to be blown back!
Ooh, I have been waiting for this video. I have been wondering what you guys have been up to since Thursday. So happy that you all had a fantastic experience 😊
So cool to see some of my favorite booktubers together. I'm glad you guys are putting out dragonsteel content. As someone who wasn't able to go, it's nice to still feel involved even just through your videos.
The Daniel Greene music overlay was just fantastic editing. Is he actually a giant? He looked like he towered over everyone. Maybe it was the camera perspective. Jealous that I missed out on the fun. Just sold out too fast.
I've not even read Sanderson but I'm getting serious FOMO. Glad to see you guys had a great time at Dragonsteel. I myself will be headed out to Florida this upcoming week and will hopefully have a real good time out there. I'm hoping to catch up on some reading as well while I'm out there, I decided to bail on The Wizard Knight (at least for the moment) and I'm hoping to start Jeff VanderMeer's Absolution soon. I also just recently started Deathless, which is another book that takes place in Leningrad like City of Thieves...turning into a Christmas tradition it seems. I haven't gotten far, but it's proving to be promising. I wish you two safe travels and awesome that you met Daniel Greene! Keep up the good work uncle.
Awesome you still got to do this and one of my favourite parts of conventions is seeing cool people get to meet up. I've consoled myself about not being there too by reading around a fifth of Wind and Truth 🙌
@ Probably because I have had very slow growth relative to very many other booktube channels around the same age as mine! 😂 I’ll hit you up at some point for a collab if you’d like, and we can find what book opinions we have in common… …or which ones clash since sometimes that can be fun 😁
Congrats to Jake! He’s making his way up the ladder. I just flew back from Madrid to where I live over now and got some reading done in the airport. I’m one of those weirdoes who actually feel chipper in airports. Well, finished Isaac’s Storm and am reading Adrian Goldsworthy’s Phillip and Alexander. It’s so great to see how much fun you two are having together. I’m sorry the august Mr. Pooh couldn’t make it. I really wish Rich, Lord of the Plebs, would have Allen, our enlightened absolutist, on their podcast. I think they would have a great time 🥹 Happy Reading! Fianna
Loving the nexus uploads and Enjoying all my fav booktubers meetups and discussions. Wish, could be there at the con and meet you all, as an Indian i would have to become a worldhopper for that.😂
I need to rewatch it again, but did Jake mention how he liked Empire of Silence? We need to cherrish the moment, the boy wonder, best producer on BookTube, finished the first whopper on the channel!
Wait you're doing WoL&S, Malazan and BotNS next year? This week i finished Fool's Quest and I have since started Assassin's Fate and resumed A Song for Arbonne.
Thanks again guys. Feeling post convention blues already. You’re both the absolute best
@@2ToRamble we are considering a move now . Miss you guys already.
@@Talking_Story Your guys interaction and the feels of the community bring me so much joy. Thank you!
@ I promise it is all genuine! All the people we met at the con were absolutely lovely!
I am totally regretting not going. Glad you two had a super time!
I wish you would’ve been there buddy!
Also thanks for doing these DragonSteel videos. For those of us unable to be there it’s a real treat to experience a bit vicariously.
@@iSamwise that was our goal!
Playing Daniel’s music every time he cruised by was *chef’s kiss*
@@TheNerdyNarrative that was all Jakob. It was really good!
lol, man playing Daniel's music each time was such a smooth move.
Great convo! I love when BookTubers get together and talk!
That was all Jakobs genius😂
My boyfriend and I were next to you at Toasters! Thanks so much for the stickers and breakfast chat. Great to meet you both, love from NY. ❤️ 26:03
Was so great meeting you both! Hope your con was as memorable as ours was.
Whoo Hoo!! Glad you had an amazing time at DragonSteel gents! Hope to attend one of these years.
@@ChristopherNavoBooks you will have the best time!
Loads of fun here! Looks like it was a lovely time for everyone. I'll be ready to chat with you and the rest of the Quilluminati on Wednesday, John!
@@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy was so wonderful to be in person with so many amazing people. I will see you on the 11th!
Glad you all got to hangout and have so much fun at Dragonsteel
@@AndrewsWizardlyReads was a blast
So awesome to see everyone and make new friends! Best con, best week ever! Also really looking forward to your guys book!

Just got through the prologue last night. I was having too much fun to read. We have more coming to let everyone see what it was like.
@@Talking_Story yeees, will keep my eyes peeled!!
I definitely have been living vicariously through you, Kyle, Jake and everyone at Dragonsteel! Thanks for sharing the chat!
No worries my friend! Ran into Durfee and he said he is ready for our group chat whenever!
@@Talking_Story Oooh, we should do that!
@ absolutely!
Wow. It feels like we need this combo once/month
@@Chance.Dillon they are just the awesome!
@@Talking_Storythis would be a sick once/month podcast is all I’m saying 😂😂🤔
@ pretty sure the guys don’t want our gum that firmly stuck to their shoe
Wow! I appreciate the shout out, John. You (and Jacob) are one of the few bright spots I've had recently. Thank you!
@@Dennis_M_Myers oh man I look forward to the read!
Somebody mentions Empire of Silence and Daniel Green appears 😄
Coincidence? I think not!
It was wonderful meeting both you and Jacob at Dragonsteel. Both of you are as genuine in person as on you are on the channel. Look forward to meeting up again at some point.

It was such a party. Thanks so much for those kind words.

Thanks my friend!
This is so cool. Thanks for sharing!!
That fist bump was hilarious...😂😂

@@mercinaapota716 I think we may have a bit of t shirt news in early 25. I think

Loooove !! 🎉 more dragonSteel videos pleaaaase ❤
@@Nico-lk5hb we got more stuff up our sleeve.
For dragonsteel is it invitation? Or very select few? Or do you just purchase tickets like a general convention?
@@LetItBe16 just purchase tickets. It was hard to get tickets this year they sold out very fast due to Stormlight 5

@@Talking_Story I will give you this piece of advice, John and I mean it. Don't do Malazan as a readalong. It's not a readalong friendly series.
@ that 1 is not scheduled for bread along cause not sure how quick I will get through it. I just wanna get I to it.
This video saved my marriage
