lol on just the mid-year update tag sans freak-out -gotta stay true to yourself 💪
I love seeing deeply passionate reactions to books, and your gushing about Spear Cuts Through Water makes me so hyped to try it.
I haven’t tried Wandering Inn and likely won’t due to my desire for closure-thanks for helping to reduce my fomo!
Thanks, Ben! Always keeping it real here haha. Glad I could help with The Wandering Inn, it’s definitely a huge commitment
😎
Congrats on all the books you've read so far! Always an accomplishment.
Thanks so much! Been a great year so far 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Quite the list!
Glad to hear that your year is going so strong!! I need to read Spear so badly, just have to find the right time! And gosh, I really hope Wintersun's new album is everything you are hoping it will be, and then so much more! I also can't wait 🤩
Also, you deserve to be so proud of that interview with Karl, it was amazing! Excited for more ;)
Thanks for sharing that nonfiction book, that sounds like something I could get a lot out of as well, will have to look it up! Cheers, Usman ☺
Thanks so much, Esmay! Hope you have a fantastic year and looking forward to sharing our thoughts on more books and music 🤘🏽
Time II is coming out??? What?! I had no idea. The hype will make me explode!
Awesome update Usman! Sounds like a great year so far and hopefully a great second half to come.
Oh yes! August 30th I believe is when it will be released and should be a highlight of my year!
Cheers 🤘🏽🤘🏽
@@bardsandbooks So awesome, I can't wait! 🤘🏼
love your chill vibe, Usman. let me know anytime you want a LitRPG recommendation, especially if you like audible.
Thanks, Brian! You’re absolutely my guy when it comes to LitRPG. The Good/Bad guys are on my list thanks to you and I’ll hit you up if I need a rec 🤘🏽
Great responses to the tag Usman! Awesome that you are reading more books. I am planning on reading a little more fantasy in the second half of the year, will look out for your grimdark video. The Road was an excellent read. Wow, I had no idea Feist was still writing. I absolutely loved The Riftwar and Serpentwar series in my youth. Awesome that you are doing live interviews with authors. Great video!
Thanks so much, Cliff! Excited to see the fantasy that you dive into. I was pretty surprised that Feist is still writing as well! Cheers 🤘🏽
The fact that you are thinking Wandering Inn has some sloggy bits but you're used to Wheel of Time pacing has me concerned about how sloggy it actually is for people not used to that pacing!!🤣
I'm excited to see what makes it onto your most anticipated Grimdark video! 🥳
Also grimdark and litrpg?! Speaking my language! 😂 2 subgenres I need to read more of as well since I almost always enjoy them when I do! 🥳
Yeah it was worse in some parts imo.
Some great stuff coming up, thanks a ton 🤘🏽
I’m so happy I found this channel
Thank you so much! Very grateful to hear this 🤘🏽
Really enjoyed that background music! Great reading year dude!
Cheers, J🤘🏽definitely the best I’ve used so far
Awesome video Usman and I hope TSCTW ends up being your favorite book of the year. I think I'm picking up The Road in a few weeks.
Thanks, Dan! Oh nice, I think you’ll appreciate it a lot. Right in your wheelhouse
I completely forgot it was that time of the year again. Might have to make my return soon for this. Good stuff, man.
Thanks, buddy! Looking forward to the return 🤘🏽
Love the update dude! :D
Much appreciated, bro 🤘🏽
Great video Usman! So does that mean you’ve read the entire Riftwar cycle? I’m currently reading book 1 of the Serpentwar saga and it’s so good to be reading Feist again.
I’ve read almost everything, the first couple series multiple times. Serpentwar is so good! Going to run through it all again hopefully early next year
So far so good with the 45 book plan. Happy reading!
Thanks so much, going to keep at it 🤘🏽
Wow. Just humbling to be included in your response to favorite new author. Thanks so much. Would love to talk sometime down the road.
Will definitely be inviting you for a chat sometime down the road! Keep up the great work 🤘🏽
@@bardsandbooks Woo-hoo!! And I will certainly try!
Quite the list!
