so excited to see what you have planned and hear your thoughts on these books! i don't read a lot of the genres you read, so you're always giving me good ideas to widen my palate :)
When you said "to be honest, a lot of my bookshelf I've read, so we may need to go book shopping soon"... I immediately turned around to look at my bookshelves with 1,000+ books that I have definitely not read even half of 😂
I am listening to The Final Gambit because book 2 of the Inheirtance games wasn’t available yet at my library. And so far I am loving it! Definitely want to get the Inheirtance games series. 😊😅
Yes! I am 100% up for Harry Potter Vlog Diaries with you guys^^ Rereads ARE important! Anyway, this month's picks sound great! Also, I am waiting for either you or Ash to finally pick up Furyborn cause I've been eyeing it up for quite some time and need to know if I should go into it or not :D (but no pressure - definitely read what you wanna read in the moment, the other books will get their chance in time^^)
Thank you!! HP concerns will definitely be happening on this channel! And with Furyborn, I think I may still try to slide it in this months reading if I somehow blitz through other books. I will keep you posted!!
I made my own cards with tbr prompts and I got them custom printed but they have yet to arrive so ive just been using them on my computer! this months tbr is: Before They are Hanged -Joe A. Great Expectations -Charles Dickens The Aeneid -Virgil The Eagle of the Ninth -Rosemary Sutcliffe Biggest Brother -Larry Alexander Harry Potter POA -JKR reread Skyward - Brandon Sanderson
I recently finished The Stand and it was AMAZING. I thought it would be much harder to read but the way King tells the story...chef's kiss 🤌🏻I hope you like it!
The Harry Potter series is on my tbr. I recently finally finished the movies (cuz i watched a few when I was young and got nightmares, especially about the spiders, still get the nightmares sometimes) So it took me a long time to get through them. But I want to read Harry Potter eventually. I think last month I decided to start Percy Jackson instead tho, so Harry's gotta wait. You reading them might make me want to start it aswell! 😅😂
Hey, I get you about the spiders. When I was younger, each of those movies scared me to death! You’re going to love the books! And Percy is amazing. I reread those last year and they’re still so enjoyable!!
@@iangubeli I have always wanted to read them tbh. The movies just scared me off anything Harry Potter. But I mean Harry is so cool and now I finally know the end of the movies. I'm excited to read both Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I feel like they are just so iconic, I have to read them 🤣
Forgot to say also, I'd carry on reading Lonesome Dove in Pub order. Streets of Laredo is next, but as I said last time. Who am I to tell you how to read.
I love that you and your honey share books and read together! What a great way to be BFFs. My adult kids and I read a lot of the same books, so we talk about them when we get together. Your TBR for September sounds amazing and I'm looking at Ascendant. Loved the Dragonriders of Pern series. Another good post apocalyptic book prior to 1990 is Swan Song by Robert McCammon. Excellent book.
Oooooo thank you for the recs!! And yes, it truly is a blessing when the ones you love also love reading as much as you. Before Ash got into reading I just sat there by myself. Now she has more books than I do!😂
I am veeery interested to see how you´ll manage to read 7 books, while also reading "The Stand" in September! That one alone is like 3x the length of a regular book.
It’s the most intimidating book I have chosen to read in a long time! For August I chose 7 books with IT being one of them…it was challenging, but I got through it. Hoping to have a repeat this month!!
I am down for a HP marathon but I first need to get the last 4 books 😅‼️😊 Awesome vlog ‼️I just finished Six of Crows and I loved it ‼️💯So I really want to keep going with Crooked Kingdom‼️😊😅How did you like Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom ?
I have yet to read Crooked Kingdom. I have only read Six of Crows, but I freaking loved it! A lot of other books got in the way of me finishing the duology, but I will read it soon!! So happy you loved it!!
Glad you enjoyed Lonesome Dove, hope this will now encourage you to read more Westerns. Happy to give guidance if you are wanting to delve deeper into the genre. Nothing better than the West, not even fantasy sorry 🤠 Yeehaw
I am starting The Blade Itself in two weeks!!! I am so excited because of you.... I hope my hopes aren't let down lol. Also, please do a HP readathon. I need more HP in my life
YYYEESSS!!! The First Law is AMAZING!! I am excited to hear what you think!! If that first book is a little slow, have no fear! That entire trilogy is so fast and so brutal and so good!!
I started the lonesome dove series with a dead man’s walk and it was amazing! Larry made a masterpiece with that series. Can’t wait for you to finish the entire thing
I wish these videos were longer 😫😫😫😫 i am reading jade city series soon because of your recommendations it'll be my first in three magical world and i look forward to it
YES!! Jade City is incredible m, hope you enjoy! And I totally thought the video would be longer when I was editing it, but it popped out at under 14 minutes. I tried, I really did!
Suggestion: Maybe you could do a reading challenge “reading only sci-fi books”. You could start with the Ninth Gideon if you have not read it yet HEHEHHE! Or try to read manga??? Such as Attack on Titan, Claymore, or Fullmetal Alchemist 😅
I need to try manga! I think I put it off because I don’t know if I would be into the visual side of reading. Audio and reading text, I am here for it! Visual intimidates me! And yes, I will totally be doing the solo genre challenges!!!
That's pretty interesting! I should have a prompt jar choose books for me haha I did my TBR for September too if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/itRlvRpMlo4/видео.html&ab_channel=jillywonker
Stop the press! Hold your horses! Wait a second! As soon as your video started I was like, ‘what is THAT on your shelf; in the top left hand corner? That’s ‘The Stand!’ I was like either it’s just there and you’ll bring it up at some point, OR you’ll talk about in this video! I can’t believe you’re gonna read it soon! You’re not gonna do a reading it in five-seven days, are you? Hope you savour it, plus, depending on your review, I’ll get it if you love it lol. Great video as always, I might have to check out Joe Abercrombie, because the amount of books that you own of his and the amount you speak of him is insane. I’d never even heard of him before you mentioned his books. May need your help on what to start with though… I’ve never read a western either, so can’t wait to hear your thoughts on ‘Dead Man’s Walk.’ Might need your heals with that too. 🤣 Amazing video as always!!! Continue shining and striving!
Thank you!! Okay, I do have a crazy video planned for “The Stand.” I cannot promise that it’s not going to be more ambitious than the “IT” video😂 (I am literally about to put myself through it to read this book)! And YES, you would love Abercrombie! He is one of my favorite authors of all time. All of his books have been amazing!!
@@iangubeli I hope you savour the book though, so you enjoy it even more. But, I can’t even imagine what type of journey you’re about to head into with that mammoth of a book lol. Right then, where do I start with this Joe Abercrombie lol? Let’s get to it.
LETS GOOOOOOO ANOTHER VIDEOOOOOO!!!!!!! you gotta love upload day! Also, news has come forward ian. My sister has agreed to read the dark tower... HOWEVER she'll only read it if i buddy read with her because she wants someone to talk about it thats at the same spot. so i will need to go back to the drawing of the three but suprisingly IM NOT MAD ABOUT IT LOL. its like such a good book that im ok with reading it again so soon if someone else gets to experience it too lmao. guess thats the magic of king. also JUST started Iron Gold. I was pacing myself but i have prepped myself for more heartbreak. WISH ME LUCK BROTHERR
Also ashlynn in the background was so funny in this episode: the dragon one isnt there. yea it is. uh uh 😂. god bless you both you guys are fetchin awesome as my pal Ian would say
WHAT!? Buddy reading the Dark Tower!? You are going to have so much fun! I would love to hear what she thinks (and to hear how you like rereading those first two books).
AHHHH YEEAHH! Iron Gold is NUTS! I have been picking up Dark Age here and there this month…and holy crap. Definitely living up to its name😂 And I loved having Ash in the room!! She always makes the background of the video that much more fun!!
@@iangubeli Yup! great picks for this month hope u have a great time. I just picked up the Stand too after reading gunslinger ALONE because i love his writing so much. Can't wait to hear your thoughts. but yea rereading the dark tower is gonna be so much fun. i dont get how people dont like the gunslinger, like that 1 star review video you made baffled me!!!!!
@@JoelPelletier-z3l You picked up The Stand!? YES!! I’m going to start reading that on the 8th of September for a special video! Dude that’s awesome! And I know! The Gunslinger is spacey, but it’s not 1 star worthy. I thought it was beautifully written. King’s prose is what made me a fan!
You’re never alone with reading Harry Potter! Me and my wife, my mother, and my sister are reading and rereading them sometime between now and then end of October!! You definitely included since you’re reading them!
Your RUclips Home Page says, "this channel doesn't have any content." If someone clicks on it they won't see videos unless they know to click on "videos". Your wife's channel is fine and has stuff on the Home page. Just so you're aware.
Me seeing Dead Man's Walk: omg what did i say you need to read Lonesome Dove first-- Ian: So I read Lonesome Dove first-- Me: NVM. EDIT: I will ABSOLUTELY be here for a Harry Potter readathon.
Haha thank you for the rec! Lonesome Dove was outstanding!! I can see how it would add much needed context to the sequel books. And, Harry content is going to be wild, let me tell you!
I need to make time for him, honestly!! I have been enraptured with so many other books and series, that Sanderson has been out on the back burner. I will definitely read him soon, though.
Honestly, the only one I watch on a regular basis is “Mike’s Book Reviews.” He has the best taste (in my opinion). Plus he has friend me on to so many different genres. And then Ash and I will watch Haley Pham and Sara Carolli together sometimes!
@@iangubeli oh ok! I watch Haley and Sara too but their book tastes arn't really my book tastes I just watch them because they are fun! I really like Library of a Viking!
@@elisabethprice4697 I enjoy Library, too. Oh!! I also really enjoy a guy named “Leaf by Leaf.” He is the guy I go to when I want general fiction, history, you name it! He is so well spoken he doesn’t make content to be entertaining, he just loves talking about books. He has a few chunky books I am intrigued about.
@@iangubeli I have been struggling with anxiety and PTSD I get flashbacks it's making it hard for me to focus on reading but I did finish some books just not much
@@angelaholmes8888 I’m sorry to hear that. Anxiety is a powerful enemy to our minds, and having gone through trauma doesn’t make it any better I’m sure. Would it be okay if my wife and I prayed for you? It’s a small way for us to be there for you, but we would love to do it all the same.
Hey! The Stand is a great book but I'm here to warn you about the sexual content. It's been about a year since I've read it so I don't remember everything, but I do remember one scene in particular that was pretty disturbing. I know some editions cut that scene out, but not sure which one you have. If you want to prepare yourself for that scene, you could search up some content warnings or I can just tell you if you want (it is not a plot spoiler).
Thank you!! I hadn’t done any research yet, but I figured King would insert unnecessary garbage like he did in IT. Are those scenes in any particular places so o no where I can anticipate them?
@@iangubeli the one I remember is during the part where the trashcan man meets the kid. Specifically when they are at the hotel. I believe that is the worst part but I don't remember any other specific scenes
Definitely here for an HP readathon
Wait are we talking about the Harry Potter readathon!? That would be great, and hope he takes the hose quiz
Sammeee
The stand is great!! You will love it
Really hope you enjoy Ascendant Ian!!! Songs is actually going to be 5 books so if you do like it there will be more to come!!!
Thank you, sir!! I am really looking for ward to jumping into that first book. There will definitely be a reading vlog or two coming soon!
I’m here for the HP readathon, I’m gonna reread it with y’all!!
Yes please!! Ash and I are going to start reading the first in on the 1st of September!
HP video would be awesome!
so excited to see what you have planned and hear your thoughts on these books! i don't read a lot of the genres you read, so you're always giving me good ideas to widen my palate :)
Thank you!!! Glad you find some of the things I read interesting!
When you said "to be honest, a lot of my bookshelf I've read, so we may need to go book shopping soon"... I immediately turned around to look at my bookshelves with 1,000+ books that I have definitely not read even half of 😂
That is my dream!!! To have more books than I can read in a lifetime!!
@@iangubeli That's an amazing dream!
Love your content and Ashlyn’s content! Glad you’re in the community!
Thank you so much!! Glad to be here, and even more glad that you enjoy our content! It means the world to Ash and I!
I am listening to The Final Gambit because book 2 of the Inheirtance games wasn’t available yet at my library. And so far I am loving it! Definitely want to get the Inheirtance games series. 😊😅
I am excited to finish the trilogy!! I can’t wait to hear what you think of the whole story!!
Yes! I am 100% up for Harry Potter Vlog Diaries with you guys^^ Rereads ARE important! Anyway, this month's picks sound great! Also, I am waiting for either you or Ash to finally pick up Furyborn cause I've been eyeing it up for quite some time and need to know if I should go into it or not :D (but no pressure - definitely read what you wanna read in the moment, the other books will get their chance in time^^)

@@iangubeli I’m so excited!! But most important: you guys have fun reading!
@@fight4pavlova563 Thank you! You as well!!
Pulling a huge book like the stand out of a tbr jar and then 6 others is wild! 😄🔥
That happened this past month with IT😂 I don’t know why I punish myself so!
LOVING the reread prompt! 🤘🏻📖
I would vote a Yeeeeeeeeeahhhhhh for continuing with the HP series ⚡️
Such a wonderfully diverse TBR for this month! 😎
The video was amazing. Also I would love to see a vlog of you re reading the hole harry potter series. Continue the great work 👌
That may or may not be in the works😉
@@iangubeli I can't wait 🎉
I made my own cards with tbr prompts and I got them custom printed but they have yet to arrive so ive just been using them on my computer! this months tbr is:
Before They are Hanged -Joe A.
Great Expectations -Charles Dickens
The Aeneid -Virgil
The Eagle of the Ninth -Rosemary Sutcliffe
Biggest Brother -Larry Alexander
Harry Potter POA -JKR reread
Skyward - Brandon Sanderson
That’s a solid TBR! Some I have never heard of, so thank you for the indirect recommendations!!
@@iangubeli lol yup!
I have added the song of chaos to my tbr this month because it sounds so good
I recently finished The Stand and it was AMAZING. I thought it would be much harder to read but the way King tells the story...chef's kiss 🤌🏻I hope you like it!
Excited to read it!!

Hello!! Happy reading to you as well, thank you for stopping in!!

Yes for the Harry Potter reading vlog, please !!!!
Stephen King, First Law, Harry Potter and Lonesome Dove are all awesome.
here for the Harry Potter and Stephen King moment! I’m hoping to also read some King this month with reading wryly’s King readathon!
Thank you!! What King book are you going to start with??
Great choices. The Stand is my favorite SK. You’ve got some big boys to tackle there…..best of luck
Thank you! August I read some beefy books, so hoping I can keep up the momentum in September!!

Me too 😂
@@Katerina-v5w 😂 hahah
Looks like a fun reading month and hope you enjoy your books.
oh man. i sat down to enjoy dinner looking for something to watch.. refreshed the page and saw you uploaded. safe to say im pretty stoked
Ayyye, glad I could be of service!
Just got the stand 🎉
the stand is also on my tbr…you’re making me want to read it along with you now !!
I mean, I wouldn’t be opposed! Let’s just say, I will be starting it on Sep. 8 for a very specific reason (to be revealed once the video comes out)!!
@@iangubeli ooh good to know! after i finish my cr I'll start the stand. I'll probably take way longer to finish it but it'll be fun 😊
@@martinamicallef7931 i honestly should pace myself with it, but I love horribly challenging content!!
I'd be up for LOTR readathon!
When I can finally sit down and reread them, I am definitely vlogging it!!
Please do a Harry Potter reading vlog! I’m rereading them this fall also :)

Actually just started a reread on HP, on book 3 now and loving it! Definitely keen on a reading vlog. Great vid and great picks.
Thank you!! Excited to do HP content!
The stand is a doorstopper 😂😂
Literally😂😂
@@iangubeli 🤣🤣
Please do a reading blog for The Stand.
I have a really fun video idea in minds for it!
Ascendant was amazing!! I recently picked it up at my local book exchange and will be on the hunt for the next two!!
That is good to hear! The author seems so down to earth, and the books sound amazing!
That is good to hear! The author seems so down to earth, and the books sound amazing!
That is good to hear! The author seems so down to earth, and the books sound amazing!
ooooh awesome! Glad you enjoyed it - good hunting for 2 and 3!
This video was so great! I'm also going to read the stand this month, which Ill be doing a video on
Thank you!! I look forward to seeing your thoughts!
We have such similar reading tastes! 😂 I'm planning on reading the Martyr this month too, I'm so pumped!
Those all seem like really solid picks! 📚
WHAT!? Heck yes! That’s exciting to hear. I haven’t found that many people who have actually read this series before.
@@iangubeli me neither, and it blows my mind because the writing and the story of the Pariah was flippin FANTASTIC!
@@samanthahackett8162 it is!! Anthony Ryan has my vote any day!
Forgot to say also, I'd carry on reading Lonesome Dove in Pub order. Streets of Laredo is next, but as I said last time. Who am I to tell you how to read.
Publication order reading hasn’t failed me yet!
Fav King is The Stand and Salems Lott

Yess im planning on reading dead mans walk too. i only found out about it from your other video.

Than you for the new rec!!
I am veeery interested to see how you´ll manage to read 7 books, while also reading "The Stand" in September! That one alone is like 3x the length of a regular book.

Oh it has! I think the Western genre will swiftly become a staple on this channel!!
I am starting The Blade Itself in two weeks!!! I am so excited because of you.... I hope my hopes aren't let down lol. Also, please do a HP readathon. I need more HP in my life

I should make a TBR prompt jar so I can maybe finish some of my list lol. I have so many in progress too...
It’s nice to see some one other then me read a western
Have you read anything by Terry Goodkind? The Wizards first Rule is amazing! It’s a high fantasy series and I haven’t seen anyone talk about them.
I have noticed his books at the store. I will try him out one day! There’s so many other books on the TBR🙈
I started the lonesome dove series with a dead man’s walk and it was amazing! Larry made a masterpiece with that series. Can’t wait for you to finish the entire thing
I’m excited myself! Lonesome Dove was beautifully done!
Excited for your review of The Stand!!
I wish these videos were longer 😫😫😫😫 i am reading jade city series soon because of your recommendations it'll be my first in three magical world and i look forward to it
YES!! Jade City is incredible m, hope you enjoy! And I totally thought the video would be longer when I was editing it, but it popped out at under 14 minutes. I tried, I really did!

You’re never alone with reading Harry Potter! Me and my wife, my mother, and my sister are reading and rereading them sometime between now and then end of October!! You definitely included since you’re reading them!
No not interested in a hp vlog. Done with hp because of The Terf.
Excited that you're reading The Stand! Can't wait to hear what you think.
Thank you!! What’s The Terf? Should I know what that is?
@@iangubeli That is the term a lot of people use for JK Rowling these days

Your channel deserves to grow!
@@cindymoran1611 thank you so much!!!
I had an amazing month of reading too, I'm almost at 20 books for one month🤯. I dread having to film my reading wrapups when they're this large😅.
20 books!!?!? Dang!! I can’t wait to see the wrap up!!
Me seeing Dead Man's Walk: omg what did i say you need to read Lonesome Dove first--
Ian: So I read Lonesome Dove first--
Me: NVM.
EDIT: I will ABSOLUTELY be here for a Harry Potter readathon.
Haha thank you for the rec! Lonesome Dove was outstanding!! I can see how it would add much needed context to the sequel books.
And, Harry content is going to be wild, let me tell you!
U and your wife should give the book browsings by Michael Dirda a read my son and I would like to know you and your wife's thoughts and review on it.
Just added it to the TBR!!
So when are we getting that Brandon Sanderson phase cuz I know it’s coming
I need to make time for him, honestly!! I have been enraptured with so many other books and series, that Sanderson has been out on the back burner. I will definitely read him soon, though.
guess what I started 'Before They are Hanged' yesterday!!!
YESSSS!!!!
There's a superstition that when anyone reads The Stand they end up getting sick 👀
I am reading it around the time people start getting sick because all of the kids go back to school and get all of us adults indirectly sick😳
what book tubers besides you and Ashlynn would you recommend??
Honestly, the only one I watch on a regular basis is “Mike’s Book Reviews.” He has the best taste (in my opinion). Plus he has friend me on to so many different genres. And then Ash and I will watch Haley Pham and Sara Carolli together sometimes!
@@iangubeli oh ok! I watch Haley and Sara too but their book tastes arn't really my book tastes I just watch them because they are fun! I really like Library of a Viking!
@@elisabethprice4697 I enjoy Library, too. Oh!! I also really enjoy a guy named “Leaf by Leaf.” He is the guy I go to when I want general fiction, history, you name it! He is so well spoken he doesn’t make content to be entertaining, he just loves talking about books. He has a few chunky books I am intrigued about.
🫨The Stand ❤❤❤❤❤
Ummm. Yes Harry Potter Video.

I've read The Stand over 10 times and I have to read it again cause Swan Song might be better.........
Just finished The Stand…HOLY!!! Made me very excited to jump into “Swan Song!”
Unfortunately for me August hasn't been a good reading month 😣
so real
Oh no! Why??
@@iangubeli I have been struggling with anxiety and PTSD I get flashbacks it's making it hard for me to focus on reading but I did finish some books just not much
@@angelaholmes8888 I’m sorry to hear that. Anxiety is a powerful enemy to our minds, and having gone through trauma doesn’t make it any better I’m sure. Would it be okay if my wife and I prayed for you? It’s a small way for us to be there for you, but we would love to do it all the same.
@@iangubeli yes it would be okay to do that thanks
Hey! The Stand is a great book but I'm here to warn you about the sexual content. It's been about a year since I've read it so I don't remember everything, but I do remember one scene in particular that was pretty disturbing. I know some editions cut that scene out, but not sure which one you have. If you want to prepare yourself for that scene, you could search up some content warnings or I can just tell you if you want (it is not a plot spoiler).
Thank you!! I hadn’t done any research yet, but I figured King would insert unnecessary garbage like he did in IT. Are those scenes in any particular places so o no where I can anticipate them?
@@iangubeli the one I remember is during the part where the trashcan man meets the kid. Specifically when they are at the hotel. I believe that is the worst part but I don't remember any other specific scenes
@@lindsey1412 okay, noted! Steer clear of the trash can man. I just don’t know why King has to put that (pun intended) TRASH in his books.
Good luck with dead man's walk I didn't enjoy it
The stand I really enjoyed
Can definitely see this channel catering to 95% popular/well known books. Which is not a bad thing but thats how it seems with every video
