Nice haul! What a cover on _War of the Worlds_ ! Joe Abercrombie is one of the authors where I try to read everything, but I've only done audio with him. The narrator for the _First Law Trilogy_ is mesmerizing. What an actor! What characters!
@@ChristopherEvenstar Audio sure can add a lot, depending on the narration. An audiobook is an adaptation in its own right, and now and then, I have found the performance in an audiobook superior to the movie.
The Jim Butcher series the Dresden Files is fantastic, they are so fun, i think you'd love those Dave! I've read like 6 or 7 in the series and really want to get back to those soon! Amazing haul. Manitou was a great find too! Hi Olive!🐶😘❤️
I missed this comment! I might try one of the Dresden Files for Occult Detective October. Not sure… I think I’m making a run at Salem’s Lot, which isn’t short, so we’ll see. Just read the Manitou book… good fun! I’ve learned you can’t get it cheap these days, so yeah, a lucky find. Evidently, it’s a whole series.
@BookBlather I'm so excited for you reading Salem's Lot for the first time! It's one of my favorites and so good! I read it first when I was like 15 lol. Harry would be perfect for occult detective October.🙂📚🐶
Hi Dave! I love Graham Masterton, he is great. I have read a lot of his book, but I have not read The Manitou yet. You got a lot of books! Olive is so sweet! Thanks so much for sharing your haul! 🐶
@@BookwormsBuddy It sounds like a good one, right? I haven’t read any Masterton yet, but I am looking forward to trying this one! It’s not too long, which is always good for me 😜
Such an awesome haul. The Manitou is a great book I read earlier this month, cheesy, 70s horror. Love those Douglas Adams covers. I have to read Hyperion, his horror novels are so good. My Friend Dahmer looks so cool, I believe there is a movie with the same title. A little something for Olive...🐶🐕
🐕Glad to be back here, I've been sick with severe high blood pressure, it sucks 😸😆 Those uncorrected proofs must be a load of fun. If I'm not mistaken that means you would see all the author's mispellings, poor paragraph formation, grammatical atrocities and so on 😆😸
@@BookBlather Yes thanks 👍 it's very high blood pressure but the medicine seems to help! Agreed that people can hate a writer all they want, but that doesn't take away other people's right to read him if they choose
The only thing I read from William Tenn is a short story called “Child’s Play” in the anthology _The Great SF Stories 9 (1947)._ It was pretty good. Isaac Asimov’s _The Naked Sun_ is the second Lije Bailey novel, a sequel to _The Caves of Steel._ Bailey finds himself on a planet that is the social opposite of his home - open spaces and largely populated with robots. I can recommend it. And of course, you can’t go wrong with Douglas Adams. 🐶
@@mediumjohnsilver I’ll need to check if that Tenn story is in the book I picked up. Lucky for me, I picked up Caves of Steel in the wild not too long ago!
WOW what an awesome haul - so much there to talk about! - Maus is amazing - so glad you have Persepolis, it's incredible. You have 2 more Hitch Hikers books which is brilliant - one of the best series of all time in my humble opinion. You've got the Dresden files!! - I've read the first two and liked them - just juggling them with the Rivers of London books - I'm intending to get back on the Dresden files once I've finished Rivers of London series (because they're so similar to me in my head - even though they're not hahaha). Love the vintage stuff in there - and that Get Smart book was a good find!
@@bookssongsandothermagic I’ve been in the mood for graphic novels lately, too, so that’s good. I’m looking forward to Dresden Files… I’ve wanted to try it for a very long time.
@@NicolesBookishNook I reached out through your website… didn’t know how else to get you (trying to avoid all magic words here that will strike my comment)
@@BookBlather I’ll check now! Though I think the easiest is my email address in my YT description. Though I have to check if YT deleted it again or not… -big sigh-
You say that as though the "whole summer" is a long time 😂. I didn't get that many books besides this during the summer, so I'd say we're on equal par!
O CALEDONIA is such a little gothic gem! I hope you love it! Great haul, buddy! You have a bunch of awesome titles! Yeah, you have a few banned books in there! NOICE HAUL! 👏🏻👏🏻
Dave, Dave, Dave, The Bloodsworn is one of my favorite series of all time, in my top 5! The First Law series, 10 books in total is also in my top 5!! The 3rd & final book of the Bloodsworn is out 10/23/24!!
That's good to hear! I felt like i should start with his Faithful and the Fallen series (picked up Malice in the wild), but I suspect I would like Bloodsworn better. .. I love Viking stuff.
What a fabulous book haul. MAUS and Persepolis are so, so good. I also have O Caledonian to read. I picked it up for exactly the same reason 😊. Hi Olive 🐶
Great haul, Dave! I think your video from the book fair last year was the first video I saw of yours. Those Matt Helm books are very good. Hamilton is a solid writer. 👍
Actually, I'm happy to send it to you if you want... I'm sure you'll get to it long before I would. I might find a matching Book 1 by the time i get to it. Let me know.
Great video! You found some really nice books. I went to that sale on the second to last day. Picked up a few things myself. Not sure if you're aware. This weekend, starting Thursday night. The Branford town book sale is having their large event. Very similar size, with the same tent system.
It's not easy, Erie. I bring two bags, and usually have to make a pit stop at the car to empty one out 😂. Are you as obsessed with From as I am? I just binged the first two seasons. It's been a while since I was that addicted.
@@BookBlather I've been checking forever for season 3. I thought it was going to be a casualty of the SAG and WGA strikes and not come back. There are a lot of things I need to know! I'm not sure if you've seen the French series Les Revenants (2012) but it's what From reminded me of when I first started watching.
I love the way Olive is looking at you in the thumbnail 😂❤

Looks like I missed some comments again 😫 It does look good!

I'm jealous of all of the great book stores and book fairs in your area. Marvelous haul!! 💚🐶
Thanks Leslie! We try our best to take advantage of it! 😛
That is just 4 books short of my whole summer, Dave!! You make me feel like a model of restraint! 🤗

@@ExtraT82 oh, I didn’t know that! I’ll have to check if it’s in my Paperbacks from Hell!

@@Cobaltdragon it’s been so long, I should watch some again! Thanks Elaine!
🐶 🥰
I enjoyed Shadow of the Gods! The 2nd book was way more gory and battle heavy. I still haven’t read book 3.
That's good to hear! Did you read his Faithful and the Fallen series?
@@BookBlather I tried to, it’s too much for my little pea-pickin’ heart ♥️
What a fabulous book haul. MAUS and Persepolis are so, so good. I also have O Caledonian to read. I picked it up for exactly the same reason 😊. Hi Olive 🐶
@@RaynorReadsStuff And it’s not too long, so hopefully I can squeeze it in soon!

😊
What an awesome haul!
Thanks Crystal!
My Friend Dahmer is very good.
That's what I've heard, Trish!
Great haul, Dave! I think your video from the book fair last year was the first video I saw of yours. Those Matt Helm books are very good. Hamilton is a solid writer. 👍
Oh really? That's funny! I can't control myself at that fair... I think I need to move.
I think I want to move closer to that book fair... or any book fair, for that matter. 😆

I was just recommended the Joe Abercrombie series! Want to get rid of that lone book 1? 😅

The 22nd, Dave and Olive, and From is back! Legitimately excited. And congratulations on the book acquisitions. Did you have a handcart or something?
