Great list. I haven't got or read the Stephen King, or Glorious Exploits (yet!), but I've read or own all the others. I'm currently reading the second Boudica book, definitely want to read the whole series.
Thanks for sharing! I must admit that I loved the books you mentioned, like Red Rising, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings and Circe ! I'll definitely check out the others with high expectations. 🤗
Here in the Philippines, it is very hard to find your Father's book. If you find one they're too expensive. How I wish to complete the whole series, but until now, I only got two. One is The Shadow of the Gods, and the other is Malice.
I am a few chapters in Boudica: Dreaming the Bull-and the prose is so amazing while listening on audio you have to concentrate not to miss any sentence!!
Did I like the Red Rising series? Is my cat named Sevro? Yes, and Yes 😄 Hyrg la Ragnar! Do I also have a cat named Gimli? (asks the person with like 20 different editions of The Hobbit) 🤔 You decide . . .
@OhioEddieBlack haha. One of my cats names is Kaladin and the other Bilbo and the other, that has sadly passed away, was named Pippin. Seems like naming cats after fantasy characters could become a trend 😆
Great recommendations, I have already read some of the books on the list, already bought some and I will definitely put all the rest to my TBR list. I just wanted to get inspiration what book should I pick reading next but I am already too overwhelmed again, not to sure what to continue with 😂
Which ones have you read already :)? Hahah, the TBR pile can be an enemy! Often when I'm not sure I will settle on a shorter read that might clear some things up, like what I am really in the mood for. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the feedback @@williamgwynne❤ I've already read Circé, The hobbit and I am reading the Shadow of the Gods. Probably I will read the "short one" Later next which I already have for a while together with Jade city and the Red rising. And the new ones on my TBR list from your recommendations are Boudicca, The road, The wolf den and Glorious exploits 😂
Love your channel Will, and the Brothers Gwynne you do with Edd. Thanks for giving us such great content. Long may it continue 👍🏻 P.S im currently reading your dads book Malice! Gosh my brain is hurting trying to remember who is who etc. but im 100 pages in and enjoying the story. Even though im confused at times, because the sheer amount of characters there are for me to remember 😂😂. I think im going to marathon the whole faithful and the fallen otherwise i will probably forget whos who! My brain is not good at remembering things lol.
So glad that you have enjoyed both channels! The other books have a 'What Went Before' section, so that helps to summarise the important parts of the previous books :). Hope the names fall into place! Any reason to marathon The Faithful and the Fallen is a good reason in my opinion....
The list, which probably should have been included in a comment: 1. Later, Stephen King 2. Red Rising, Pierce Brown 3. The Shadow of the Gods, John Gwynne 4. Boudica, Manda Scott 5. Jade City, Fonda Lee 6. The Road, Cormac McCarthy 7. Circe, Madeline Miller 8. The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien 9. The Wolf Den, Elodie Harper 10. Glorious Exploits, Ferdia Lennon
I cannot speak for Lonesome Dove, as I have not read it (though it is very high on my list). Cormac McCarthy is most definitely a divisive list, but everyone I have personally recommended The Road to has loved it, so I went off that for my judgement :).
@@williamgwynne oh man, while I imagine you’ve already got a lengthy list of books to get to…PLEASE do yourself a favor and read the rest! Hail libertas, hail Reaper!
Making a list of books everyone will enjoy and putting The Road on there is definitely a bold choice, haha! I get it though, that book absolutely haunts me...
I dnf'd green bone almost immediately after the scene he sneaks in to his girls place and "rapes" her to prove she should move in with him cuz its less dangerous as well as every single time a girl has the audacity to speak up or speak her piece hilo flares his jade and rages to intimidate them fuck that shit
I agree with you about Later. It’s one of King’s most underrated books. Very enjoyable and quick read.
So glad you also agree! the 'quick' factor definitely makes it accessible to a wider audience as well
Joyland was great too. Have you read that one?
@@stacielara9856 not yet, I’m still working my way through the majority of his books. I’ll check Joyland out. Any other King recs?
Great list. I haven't got or read the Stephen King, or Glorious Exploits (yet!), but I've read or own all the others. I'm currently reading the second Boudica book, definitely want to read the whole series.
I would love it if you could include a list so I could take it to the library. Guess I could just grab a pen and piece of paper!
Apologies, I will in future. @pecos9950 has put the list in the comments though :)
Thanks for sharing! I must admit that I loved the books you mentioned, like Red Rising, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings and Circe ! I'll definitely check out the others with high expectations. 🤗
That's awesome to hear! Hopefully some of the others click for you as well then :).

It really is just a gem! The prose is wonderful, as is the world-building and the characters. I just did not want it to end.
Did I like the Red Rising series? Is my cat named Sevro? Yes, and Yes 😄 Hyrg la Ragnar! Do I also have a cat named Gimli? (asks the person with like 20 different editions of The Hobbit) 🤔 You decide . . .
Hahah, that may be a clue..... 🤣

I had never heard about that Boudica book, but it sounds really interesting! I will definitely be checking it out.
Really hope you pick it up! Utterly extraordinary in my opinion.
Intriguing list!! Thanks so much!!
the wolf den trilogy supemacy!!
Oh yes! I like that name for it.....

@@domokosjapi Hahah, a lot! Really hope you get around to them all :). Red Rising feels like a short read because of how fast-paced it is :).
@@williamgwynne I might continue with that then
Happy reading to you!! 🎉
Thank you so much! Happy reading to you as well :)

A lot of these books are going on my tbr list. Really love the hobbit. Wasn't so keen on later by stephen king.
Hope you pick some of them up. Shame Later did not click as well with you. I feel like The Hobbit can never miss!
Well I own The Wolf Den & Boudicca because of you so I’ll hold you to it 😂
Hahah, please do!
Can you please try the Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell
It is on the list! As is the program, as I love Sean Bean!
@@williamgwynne great to hear!
Honey, you forgot And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
Never read it! Definitely high on my list :). Would you say it is Agatha Christie's best work?
@@williamgwynne Absolutely!
I've read only Circe, but it wasn't my cup of tea 🤭
Shame it did not click with you! Have you read any other Greek Retellings?
id add lonesome dove, take away cormac; hes def not liked by everyone
I cannot speak for Lonesome Dove, as I have not read it (though it is very high on my list). Cormac McCarthy is most definitely a divisive list, but everyone I have personally recommended The Road to has loved it, so I went off that for my judgement :).
Red rising is such a banger of a series. I loved the first one but the rest of the series’ entries are so much better imo
Completely agree! I do need to read beyond the original trilogy….

I get it though, that book absolutely haunts me...
Hahah enjoy may be the wrong word 🤣. Hard not to be engaged though!
😊😊😊😊
Hope you enjoyed!
❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
I hated Later by King. Not sure I’ll ever pick up another one by him and I LOVED his books in the 90s. One of his best? No. Not even close.
A shame it did not click with you like it did with me :). What is your favourite King book?
The Road??? No thanks.
I dnf'd green bone almost immediately after the scene he sneaks in to his girls place and "rapes" her to prove she should move in with him cuz its less dangerous as well as every single time a girl has the audacity to speak up or speak her piece hilo flares his jade and rages to intimidate them fuck that shit
Later was not a good book. The Road was a great book.
Shame Later did not click with you! Totally agree with you on The Road though :)
And you start with horror, so I quit
A shame this list was not for you :)
Later isn’t a horror book, though…
