The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei
Eragon by Christopher Paolini
Your Letter by Hyeon A. Cho
Tristan and Lancelot: A Tale of Two Knights by James Persichetti and L.S. Biehler
Forgive me if this has been said, but it's worth mentioning that Christopher Paolini was 15 years old when he wrote Eragon. Take that for what it's worth.
Let your husband know he did an amazing job!
“You can talk to my manager, which I guess is me” 😂
I just wanted to thank you for your reading wrap ups. They are one of my highlights every month and helped me getting back to reading this year immensely, which also improved my mental health. Thanks and keep going. You are amazing ✨️
Ps i started Amber in the ashes and i'm already half way through book 2. I really love it so far!
Awww yay! I’m so glad you enjoy these AND that you’re back to reading!
Me too! I love these reading wrap ups and I get so excited to read because of how the books are described - I'm definitely reading more and looking forward to reading more!!
It's funny hearing you describe Eragon as "almost cozy," because the next one is SO BLOODY.
I love how you start out talking about Eragon by being like ‘and then a certain character dies’ and then later just flat out mention (repeatedly) that Brom dies 🤣
July has been a hell of a year.
I loved your review of Eragon - i read it years ago back in high school and didn't care for it. At the time, it was too predictable and not very original feeling and as a teenage girl at the time, i was sooo over bratty teenage boys 😂. But now that i see all the comments from ppl about how the series gets better, I'm going to give the series another chance!
I’m glad you decided to do July’s wrap up!
The whole Eragon series was great. His writting improves as he gets older. The novella and the new book fit nicely. I loved it. The characters really develop and you learn alot more about what is truly going on.
Trust me when I say the rest of the Inheritance Cycle (Eragon books) is so different and insanely intense. Especially the last two books! Eldest is...A mix of "omg I'm so bored" and "holy 💩 how is this legal?! My heart is screaming, crying, throwing up!! I'm sobbing!! Wth?!" So be prepared for that. 😅 Paolini's writing does get better, and the ending of the series is just INSANE! Haha. Enjoy!!
Omg I love you review of Eragon! Had me in tears of laughter!
I stopped listening to the video for a minute and re-tuned in and he said "The stuff in the museum was taken from other cultures" and my initial reaction, as a Brit, was just "when did we start talking about the British Museum."
I blame my autism for the inexplicable need to comment this unnecessary fact.
Pete's dragon sounds exactly like you described, kinda like Scooby-doo but if he was a dragon. If you've never seen that give it a look, not the new version but the 70s one with Mickey Rooney. Also Karl you killed it this video! Keep it up!
Carl (think I spelled that wrong) is doing amazing! And can’t wait to see the store. And enjoy the con!
Congrats on 60k and Carl did a great job editing 🥳
Yay!! I always love the wrap ups!
Oh gosh you really crack me up 😂 the way talk about books is great. 🎉
I would have never known there was a different editor had you not told me. Keep up the great work! I read 12 books so far and hoping to finish one more before tomorrow night.
Fabulous editing ❤
1st pointed distracted today my guy I have ADHD I'm distracted everyday
New subscriber, you are fun question though, do you ever do horror?
Ok Nevermind. You just said you love SPOOKY season lol so that answers that! Glad to hear that you do!
Hi Carl!!! You did a great job editing!! Jaysen...I would love to meet a lion that sounds like Beyonce when she talks. 😂 Have a happy August!
RUclips didn't tell me about this video. My brain was suddenly like "hey, where's the reading wrap up? Did I watch it already? Did it happen? What's going on?" 😂
July was crazy. Back to school is still a month away for us so not thinking about it. (Actually, I've had this year's curriculum planned for my son for years. 😂)
I need to re-read Eragon one of these days.. because I had it already when it was pretty new and tried to start it a few times and then never got around to it until shortly before the movie came out. Ended up literally finishing it just before going to see the movie. And let's just say I now have my "Eragon rule" when it comes to adaptations that if I haven't already read the source material prior to the movie/TV series I don't.
Well done with the editing, Carl! 👏 For anyone who wants that feeling you are talking about, the reading of your first fantasy books, I HIGHLY recommend Alison Croggon’s Pelinor series. It is heavily inspired by LOTR, but still has it’s own unique flavour, and unlike a lot of YA today, it does not rely on romance to tell the story. I think you might even be able to get tge first book for free on Kindle (The first book has 2 different titles, The Naming or The Gift, it’s the same book though. Also The Bone Queen is a prequel which you don’t have to read to get into the main quartet of books).
Good job with the editing of the video, 5 star review for your husband xD
Thanks Ezeekat for posting your July wrap up! I was feeling kinda sad also because I didn´t have much time to read that month... barely one book I finished... but watching your videos always cheers me up and it motivates me to continue reading no matter how small amount, but it is worth it. So thank you!
My father gifted me eragon and eldest when I was 13 (probably) and I've never thought to compare it to star wars xD it's make sense
Brom refuses to give all the answers till Brisingr (book3)
July been crap for me. 3 weeks ago was declared bad chest infection by emergancy doctor :( (ended up there due to asthma attack ) then 5 days later turned into covied and I still have it bad. So no reading for me as my eyes keep going funny. I have 4 books and a graphic novel to read when I'm better.
I'd love to join the book club, but a lot of books you are discussing are not available in Poland.
I gave up on the book Drop Zone. It wasn't a good read and I knew that even if I managed to finish it, I wasn't interested in the series.
The beginning was so real, i want a Refund for july 🤧
I've also been on the reading struggle bus and haven't read a ton due to life being absolute chaos.
The way you near lost your mind during the Eragon part 😂😂😂
Awesome edit 😊
Teacher so back to school season starts Thursday for me, a little nervous as always about starting a new year, but excited for spooky season!! Love the wrap ups and the fun informal vibes you bring to the internet!!
June was a good month for me- it was too hot in Tennessee at the beginning of the month to do much, and then too rainy the last two weeks to really do anything so many books were read.
I have loved every bit of this video haha *focused*
19:25 “not that sweet, kind of a brat” 😂
Not the Yoda impression 😂
Great job on the editing!!😊
also, 60k is huge....congrats and Carl??? GREAT JOB.
Thank you!!!
I thought Eragon is very Wheel of Time ish too. Just wait until you read the other books. And Christopher Paolini was 15 when he published Eragon so you have to give a little grace.
Oh no just wait until you learn more about Brom.
It's very nice to see that you did read a small amount. It makes my 1 book read last month. A big deal. Thanks for sharing
I read 'Dirty Wolf' in between my chemotherapy
Oh graphic novels count as books to? Well then i've read more then 3 books this year! 🤣 Also my husband loves the Eragon series i still have to read it.
Of course they do!!
I encourage you to unpack why you assign gender to voice
I personally don’t BUT it is a big point of discussion in the book and the naming of Saphira which is why I bring it up here.
Oh speaking of Eragon there is a movie for it and in my opinion, it was executed pretty much the same as the book if you ever want to give it a try, I recommend
Huh??? I'm... confused, is this a prank or a genuine suggestion? Because most people I know who love the series (including myself) tend to pretend the movie doesn't exist. I personally don't feel it's particularly accurate to the book, though I liked some of the casting choices. I'm honestly not trying to be rude or start a fight, I'm just genuinely surprised at this comment.
Great Wrap Up!
Congrats on 60 k subscribers 🎉 very well deserved.
Thank you so much!!
I joined your book club 😊 it looks like so much fun
Yay!! Welcome!!
July Was my and my husband's birthday. We went to G-Fest in Chicago a.k.a Godzilla Fest. A surprise for my husband.
Same on July. Also you just made me bump up Stardust Grail to the top of my wish list.
Congrats on editing!
My favorite book I read in July was Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis. It reminded me a lot of the middle grade Patricia Wrede's The Dark Lord's Daughter, and both books are on the cozy side. In Dreadful, a person wakes up to realize that (apparently!) he's a dark wizard who has lost his memories. But, because he's lost his tragic back story, he no longer really wants to be evil. But there's a princess in his dungeon and a plot afoot, so he can't just abandon everything either. What to do?! It's comedic and light WITHOUT a romance plot, which impressed me.
Great job on the July wrap up, and great job doing a wrap up even when you considered not. As back to school will put me back in the classroom and my monthly book count will fall from 4-10 books a month to... hopefully at least 2? Having an example of "but we're celebrating what we DID read!" is great.
I'm so glad you did a July wrap-up. It was hilarious! And great job, Karl! Carl? I'm sorry if I spelled it wrong. The sentiment is genuine.
I just stumbled onto your channel and your review of Eragon convinced me I need to subscribe 😂 I read it when it first came out and I was a child, so rereading it a few weeks ago was very nostalgic. Your points are valid but I loved the book anyways. Eldest is probably my favorite book in that series so I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!
This review of Eragon encapsulates everything I love about your content!!! Also, I have a new favourite word after watching this video - deriveration 😂 And congratulations to Carl - excellent job with the editing👍
Started July breezing through the second Dark Tower book The Drawing of Three and then spent the rest of the month reading Frankenstein! I’ve been wanting to read some more of the classics but honestly the style of writing for Frankenstein and Dracula the month before just doesn’t do well with my ADHD. Sometimes I would have to shake my head and start a paragraph again so it would make sense! 🤯🤯 Just started the third Dark Tower book The Wastelands and I’m loving it.
19:45 "Hey, we're both here in this book. We should hang out together." 😂
I didn't get to read much in July because of a couple trips i had to take where i was busy but i am almost done with Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan and loving that
waiting for my own copy of your letter to arrive, I have the tale of two knights. great job Carl. only book I finished was bloom which was a graphic novel. over 50 percent through the night circus and the serpent and the wings of night. have the audio books for both.
I just love Carl! I look at him losing his job as an opportunity. Your business is getting ready to blow up in a great way! There are so many partnerships I feel are going to open up to you that you’ll need someone to help you. There’s no limit what the two of you can accomplish! Let’s go!
I liked Eragon, hated Eldest, but now I'm working on the third
I'm loving your reactions to Eragon! Haha so excited to see what you think of the rest of the series!!
WOW to your Bunches great job on editing 🎉🎉🎉😊
My July was awful as well, especially last week: my mom’s best friend died on Tuesday and on Friday I found out one of my best friends possibly has breast cancer. 😢
I haven’t been reading a lot, but I enjoy it when I do it, even if it takes me several months to finish just one book 😅
Oh by the way, congrats for reaching 60k subscribers!!!
Also my July was ok, I had my birthday on the 14th and got 6 books, 2 of which I read and I'm finishing reading a series I've been working on since June. I'm not excited for back to school, that means getting up at 7am every day again 🥱, but I've started compiling a list of spooky books I want to read once the snow starts flying 🇨🇦 which should be late october, I want snow/Christmas themed books and have about 4 or 5 on the docket. Love your videos jaysen, the monthly wrap ups, one piece reactions (even though I've never seen one piece), and I've newly discovered your junk journals are all my fav, wishing you guys a great end to your summer 😀
July has been a weird reading month for me too! I’ve read 5 books so far (which is my average) but two of those books I read in a day while the other three took over a week to finish. I’m listening to Stardust Grail on audible because of how busy/tiring this month has been (even just from heat alone).
Congrats on 60k!!! 🎉
Great editing Karl!
Great edit, Carl!
I am a big fan of your husband - and of you! Love from Germany and have fun reading, always
Thank you! You too!
