    I have read all the Dune books and I will say they are pretty dense, so I would recommend following along with the audiobook. It’s what I did on my first read. The two movies out currently, Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two only adapt the first book, and it might be a few years till we get the third film. So I would say it might be possible to watch the movies first, get the gist, and then read the book with a better understand and to see the differences. Then you can read the other books which are much shorter lol. I also say that because I HIGHLY suggest watching Dune: Part Two while it is still in theatres and still in IMAX because it is STUNNING and Zendaya is a revelation in it.

    • @ReadingOverReality
      @ReadingOverReality  6 месяцев назад +2

      That’s fine I like when series are very dense/intricate, with well thought out plots. If I watch the movies I’m not going to read the books, I just can’t really get into a book if I know exactly what happens. & I don’t really go to movie theaters either lol so I won’t be seeing it until it pops up on one of the apps anyways so I got a little time to get it read. But I really can’t wait to see Zendaya so I need to read it fast

    if you're looking for books at an affordable price try thriftbooks or abebooks. They sell popular books second hand or from libraries getting rid of some inventory. You can also price match books at target so if a book is on sale somewhere else thats not a 2nd hand shop you can ask the cashier and you'll pay less. Also "name of the wind' by patrick rothfuss is also a great read.

    • @ReadingOverReality
      @ReadingOverReality  6 месяцев назад

      Thank you, I do intent to start book thrifting! I get majority of my books from target on a regular basis and their books are always discounted in store but they’re typically even more discounted online so I always price match with their app. But I’ll look into that book I haven’t started the one I got yet.

    • @ReadingOverReality
      @ReadingOverReality  6 месяцев назад +1

      I want to read the shatter me series but I’m so intimidated lol.
      But me personally I think Assassins blade should be read first. I read it 4th because ppl recommended it & I was pissssseddddd! It provides so much background information that’s talked about in every book & fills in gaps not explained in the other books. It feels like being with 2 people & they’re talking about something they didn’t tell you about. Also it’s not as fast paced just like the first 2 books they’re leading too the actual plot but not necessarily apart of the actual plot. & it talks about some side characters that aren’t really in the series anymore/yet so I kinda wasn’t interested plus the end of Heir of fire was crazyyyy to me so I was just ready to get to Queen of shadows. Sorry that was long lol I get passionate about that reading order 😂
      I got the original cover MP books from a website called Blackwells. It’s a UK company, they weren’t crazy expensive plus they were tax free & free shipping. Mine came in like less than a week but I’ve heard some ppl’s take a while.
