![Challenge Over-HAULed! [Episode 3]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RSP2A9Hp13s/mqdefault.jpg)
What a haul!! I am dipping my toe into Broken Binding, could (will...) be costly. Generation Ship is a good read. I'm insanely jealous of your Cage of Souls find, that is rare as rocking horse shit over here too, very expensive. Good to see a bit of sci fi in the mix 😀
Keep buying! 👌
Rare as rocking horse shit hahaha. I really lucked into that one. I’m glad to hear good things about Generation Ship - I’m quite excited for that one. Be careful with BB… I’m broke. 😂
I love a book haul. It makes me feel I am not alone in my book buying.
You are not alone... I bought enough for three people this time around.
I love the thumbnail for this one! 😀
Those Powder Mage books are gorgeous! Alas, my budget relegates me to the paperbacks. New subscriber here and I love your library, just fabulous.
Thank you!! I appreciate you stopping by. The paperbacks are nice too - I sometimes wish I hadn’t started fixating on Hardcovers, but once I did all the things must match haha.
So many beautiful Tchaikovsky books!
Thank you!!
Oooooooh I also have that little Great Change hardcover, and the stories were a treat! I really need to try LPQ and Powder Mage. And love that great deal you found on the Modesitt hardcovers!
Oh man that Cage of Souls hardcover is gorgeous-I haven’t read it yet either but love the cover.
Thanks!! Oh yes, LPQ is so good. That one and both Kithamar and Dagger and the Coin I think you’d have a lot of fun with! I love powder mage so much. But apparently it’s hit or miss for some. I’m glad to hear Great Changes was worth the investment. Speaking of, I’m really hoping that Cage of Souls was a good buy 😬.
Nice copy of Foreigner. I agree about it being slow and the restarting threw me, but I ended up liking it. Also, nice copies of the Deathgate Cycle. I found nice copies of that series in hardcover a couple of years ago and they are so much prettier in hardcover than the mass market paperbacks I had.
Thank you! I’m hoping I end up liking it more on the reread. I was a brand new mom when I first read it and I imagine my patience wasn’t the best haha.
Wow great haul! The Modesitt and Death Gate books are especially great finds. By the way, I think Echoes of the Fall is connected to the Apt universe in some way so it might need to be read after that series.
Thank you! I can’t believe I lucked into them! That’s really good to know. I had Echoes lined up for right after I finish Apt already, only due to random chance, so it worked out haha.
Awesome haul Niki! I’ve been wanting to read the Worldbreaker saga for forever. I also want to try out KJ Parker.
Thanks! Parker was so good, I really need to make time to read more from him. I had a hard time with some of the shock-value writing from Hurley, but I can’t deny how amazing their world building is.
I love Uprooted! I have no need to read the silver something. Even if all say it is better.
It's really sad when an author doesn't realize you want more of the same thing you fell in love with, just new versions of it. In regards to the mundane bookshops stuff you talked about. I sympathize though. In art, it is a hard thing to trust your audience. But you have to find a way! Haha
Please one day read 'A Morbid Taste for Bones' by Ellis Peters. Ignore the cover art. She's the coziest, immersive writer I've ever read. But...I know you don't like the long-winded, classic, mystery reveal at the end. But for me her plots are entirely secondary to the depth of her characters and her handle on all things medieval. If you're looking for baffling surprises, no. But if you want to be held in the hands of a master... :)
I’m sure he felt all the pressures to “improve” certain things about his stories from the publisher that picked him up. The typical formula sells, after all. But it’s a testament to his core elements that I would be happy to sit there and read them without a bigger driving plot, which usually makes me cranky.
I will certainly add that to the list. Maybe one of these days I’ll do a “viewers’ recommends” challenge.
@@TheObsessiveBookseller That would be very cool! And actually the book I mentioned is not her best. I only mentioned it because I know you like chronological order 👍😊
@@Burkwood Oh yes, that's the way I'd go, regardless haha. Good to know.
Great video. I have some really bad news for you about the Planetside series. Book 4 comes out in September, but it's a different format (trade paperback) than the first three, as the publisher has stopped putting out mass market paperbacks. Sorry in advance.
I read “I have some really bad news for you about the Planetside series.” And immediately jumped to, “Oh no, is it CANCELLED??!” And had miniature heart failure. It made it easier to absorb the blow of different formats. I tell you what, though, I’m looking forward to the trade edition - it means it’s large enough to fit into my favorites section. Loving the new one so far!
I just got the broken binding never die and I love it
Nu uh
It's so nice. I keep telling myself to wait until I've at least tried it. I clearly don't have trouble gambling though.
@@TheObsessiveBookseller I’ve read the whole series and I really enjoy it.
Have you ever done a bookshelf tour? I'd love to see one!
A couple years ago I did a massive tour project called the Sunday Shelfie. It has everything I had then, but I’m definitely due for another round! ruclips.net/p/PLJklmoTe5tNGQ-8wLlL5Nw9DEaw7qTPKZ&si=yMUe7M3kh7Yh6Lol
I got lucky and managed to get into tier 2 with this Broken Binding cycle, I think I was on the waiting list for 6-8 months... from what I hear people almost never leave the subscription group!
Ohh that's amazing! Congrats! Hopefully as they get larger they'll be able to handle more subscribers. I did manage to get on thier Scifi Sub list recently!
@@TheObsessiveBookseller I almost pulled the trigger on that one as well, the first cycle of that one looks awesome!
Never Die is great. I think Rob J. Hayes may be a must read for me. I have been reading Recluce by Modesitt. He is not going to be for everyone. His books are very casual and not epic though the world is.
Warded Man had a different cover for the first book when it was initially released - it doesn't match.
Oh good! I’ll be sure to prioritize Hayes then. I really liked Modesitt’s first Imager book, so I’m hopeful. I think you’re right about going in prepared for that casual writing style. I think I remember that edition with the dark blues (if it’s the same one). That must be annoying to have on the shelf haha.
I’ve read The Thousand Deaths of Ardor Bend. It was quite good. The romance part was a bit cringe, but the rest was a lot of fun.
Oh cool! Thank you. It was a bit of a random pickup but I’m now glad I have it.
I feel slightly better about MY book buying problem :)
Haha I’m happy my bad habits are helpful in some way!
🙀 o boy! 💖
I am agonising over a set of 4 books that are from The Broken Binding FOR 4 DAYS now! 😵💫 and it will for sure not reach the digits that you payed for this presented book row.
😮💨I need to buy them, right? They are only 4 books, right?
Haha well, I bought them. 😂 I’ve definitely gone a bit crazy with book buying lately. Anything I can do to help others justify their purchases is okay lol.
You had me at da
haha
I’ll be honest, the death gate cycle and dragon lance have sparked my curiosity for some time but I’m a bit concerned about getting into them due to feeling like I missed the age window to read them. Do you think someone in their early 20s who has read and liked/loved some of the works of Hobb, Sanderson, Martin, Cahill, Wurts and Tolkien would be able to enjoy dragon lance and or Death Gate? Or is there a better starting point for reading Margaret Weis and Hickman?
Also that’s a great copy of Foreigner. Cherryh’s Fade Sun trilogy is a series that has called to me for awhile.
Thanks! I think had you said “someone who has read and liked/loved Jordan, Eddings, Brooks I would’ve said yes!! Dragonlance is a sure win! Your mention of Tolkien is promising though - you might enjoy the classic fantasy feel of it. But based on your list, I’d say Deathgate is a much better entry point. They’re a lot more sophisticated. I’d be curious to hear how either goes for you if you decide to try them.
@@TheObsessiveBookseller I read the sample for Dragons of Autumn Twilight and it seemed like something I’d vibe with. The classic fantasy writing style is one of my favorites. I’ll be sure to let you know how either Dragons or Death Gate goes when I get to it!
Cool 😎❤keep it up 👍🏻
Thank you!
@@TheObsessiveBookseller your very welcome 🤗
Is it possible to have a book soulmate?
Haha we found each other!!
Pango doesn't do trades do they?
Technically no but I suppose it could facilitate one. Do you have a trade proposal?
@@TheObsessiveBookseller I do but I only have Michael Crichton hardcovers
@@dandrum1ify Crichton isn't an author I'm collecting, but he's such a beloved writer, I'm sure you'd get some takers on Pango for selling.
hi @theObsessiveBookselller - Broken Binding gave a jumpstart to the subs waiting list in March and I know people who were beyond 10000 and got a sub now I myself jumped 6000 places to get a level 2 sub. I'd say that you must apply and wait on the waitlist and I am sure you'd get it in the next cycle.
Edit: level 2 sub and not level 1
So, some behind the scenes things - this was filmed in February and as it happens, I managed to get on the Tier 2 list between then and now. That's so exciting you got into Tier 1! I asked to be put on a waiting list for that, so hopefully eventually I'll get there. Book buying is sooo much less stressful when I know I have at least SOMETHING guaranteed to show up at my door every month. Just in time for Locke Lamora!
@@TheObsessiveBookseller sorry, I meant level 2 and not level 1. I also got the sub this cycle only. Also, I wanted to read shadows of the apt and your warm reviews gave me an impetus and I’m on the third book in a month. So thank you for that!
@@SinghRohit007 Oh cool - I love it when I can actually help someone find a good book. Thanks for letting me know. Level 2 is still great - our shelves don't care if those editions are signed!
