    I love that you started a channel because it’s not mostly romantasy or YA. It’s hard to find booktubers who aren’t focused on those or romance. Not judging those genres but it’s nice to see a good mix of adult books outside of those. Excited about so many of the books you found.

I had tears in my eyes. When a book brings out emotions it is a keeper. I do not reread books, there are so many. But i did reread this one. 3 times. The next book in the series World Without End is a must read. Im looking forward to hearing your thoughts about the book. Thank you for putting more books in my TBR! Lol.

The Trilogies you got look like something I would like reading so I will have to keep an eye out for them. Thank you for sharing.

    The Lies of Locke Lamora is my all-time favourite fantasy book! I love it and Locke. I read it when it came out, or shortly after, and it blew my mind. The sequels to it weren't as great to me but I am still waiting on book 4 since 2016 or so. My amazon wishlist tells me that :P It is the bottom book. If you don't mind slow paced books, you will LOVE Robin Hobb. Her character studies are impressive and I love Fitz. I have read many King books, Pet Sematary also just this year, and "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" was my first and still to this day one of my favourites. Never entered a forest by myself since reading it back in 2002, I think. You had a great haul! Hope you will enjoy all of them.

    Hey Ian! I was wondering if you had heard of the Raven Cycle series by Maggie Stiefvater. It's a fantasy paranormal-ish YA series that revolves around the hunt for the grave of a Welsh king. It is believed that whoever finds his grave will be granted a wish. I don't see a lot of people talking about it, but I quite enjoyed both it and it's spin-off series The Dreamer Triology. I think the form of magic is very interesting, and the characters are super well crafted in my opinion.

Considering that buying them will be expensive, maybe borrow them from the library? Maybe a library haul or such? Just something to broaden his reading (and a quick read, too).

    YESSSS SOME OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS IN HERE.
    Warlord Chronicles is amazing, however some people don’t click with it because it’s not as Arthur-centric as they would like. I loved it though.
    Lies of Locke Lamora I don’t think needs any more said about it-genius from beginning to end.
    Pillars of the Earth is maybe one of the best books I’ve ever read. Just know there’s A LOT of weird sexual stuff (both consensual and SA) in Follett’s books. I know you don’t like that in books so probably stuff in there you’ll want to skip.
    Good video and nice haul. Excited to hear your thoughts on some of these!

    You made some spectacular choices! The Robin Hobb books have been on my list for forever but I always put them off.
    Lies of LL, Promise of Blood - all ones I have sitting waiting for me too, i'm hyped!
    Ah I am curious what you will think of Dark Matter! I'd never read anything like it before so maybe I was just so amazed by the genre but I loved it!!
    I am working my way through Stephen King too and started with PS - a solid book and so much better than the movie adaptations, in particular one of the earlier scenes was really great.
    I played a PC game based on The Pillars of the Earth and the story was good, I am curious about the pacing of the book itself though!
    So exciting!

I read The Ship of Magic and loved it, finished the trilogy in no time and then read The Farseer Trilogy and the rest of the books. No regrets. 😅

    Firstly, happy birthday!! Now, I don’t know if you’ve read Urusula K. Le Gin but recently I watched Studio Ghilbi's adaptation of Tales od the Earthsea (I think that’s what it’s called in English). She’s considered one of the best fantasy authors so I’m curious about her books. Figured you might too!

    Bernard Cornwell is the GOAT! Absolutely adore his Saxon Tales. Because of the nature of the story, if you can get past the ideas of Viking paganism and take it with a grain of salt, the story is really awesome and has some of the best characters in fiction. Highly recommend.

    You should read the Earthsea Series! (This is to anyone who reads this lol) 6 books, one is short stories and the rest range from Middle Grade and grow into older YA. They're brilliantly written and you can SEE how Ursula Le Guin grows and changes her ideas as she writes each book.
    It's got dragons, wizards, witches, lots of magic and it's in a special name sort of magic system thingy it's hard to describe hah. It's very thoughtful too,
