- Let's discuss five book series and standalones that I think deserve so much more love and attention than they get. (Seriously, these books are amazing!)
Pet Clip of the Day: Ash really thinks that he can dig through the counter, and he doesn't easily admit defeat. (I wonder if he likes it because it feels cool.)

Thanks to you, I finally read His Majesty's Dragon, and now I'm hooked!
Oh, I'm so glad!! It always makes me happy to help others find things to love (especially when I love them, too, haha). 😊
I've been eyeing His Majesty's Dragon because I very much enjoyed Naomi Novik's books Uprooted and her Scholomance series. I'd recommend two series, but I don't know if these would be considered underrated. The first would be Dungeon Crawler Carl. In the beginning, the series can feel like a joke, and I think the whole series is technically satire, but as you progress through the books, you find yourself getting way too invested in these characters. For a series that started off like a joke, it can really pull on the emotions. If you try Dungeon Crawler Carl, you have to try the Audiobook version because Jeff Hays is a master voice actor that really brings the books to life. The series I'd recommend is Beware of Chicken. I love that series too, but I this message is already to long, so I'll stop there. Thanks for all the recommendations.
You're very welcome! And thank you! I've actually heard a few people talking about Dungeon Crawler Carl lately, and they all seem to love it. It sounds interesting! I've never heard of the other series, though. (Also, you should definitely try Temeraire; I genuinely love it so much!)
Hi I agree with you about The Bartimaes Trilogy loved it so much. Then I found The Ring of Soloman, it's the prequel and is hilarious, with the sassy footnotes😊
Yes! I definitely want to read it, but I'm being a bit stubborn about which edition I want, haha. 🙃 I'm so glad that you love the series!!
I actually had three of these on my radar. I've been wanting to try Arslan because the novels were written by the same author as Legend of the Galactic Heroes, which I really enjoy. I have the first novel of the Temeraire series, but I bought it in a big bulk order (if I don't order in bulk the shipping per book is crazy from Japan.) And, I wishlisted The Goblin Emperor a while ago when I was looking for fantasy/sci-fi books that won or were nominated for certain awards that seemed interesting. I like your shirt, btw. Riding the cat bus would be amazing, right? 😄I need to rewatch Totoro at some point. 🐦
Thank you so much! 😊 I would love to ride the Cat Bus!! I'm due for a Totoro rewatch, as well (I like to watch it in the spring/summer). The series that you mentioned are three of my absolute favorites. I would love to hear what you think if you try any of them!
@@AubreyLikestoRead Yes, I'll definitely try and read those three. I was already curious about them and your video got me more excited to read them. I'll likely try Bartimaeus as well. Thanks!
@@SuperAstyanax You're very welcome! 😊
Thank you for sharing this list of lesser known genre books.
The only one that I have read and enjoyed is the series by Naomi Novik
🐉 Are you familiar with The Sparrow ? 🐦🐦🐦
I'm so glad to hear that someone else likes Temeraire! It is one of my favorite series of all time!! 😊🐉 I'm not familiar with that one. Who is it by?
@@AubreyLikestoRead The sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
@@TomerArmarnik I haven't heard of that one. I'll have to look into it; thanks!
