30 books in a month? Something new to feel upset about because I wish I could do that :(
Aim for one and you're already doing better than most people. Something like 65% of high school grads never read a book again. Reading should be a pleasure, not a competition 😊
Comparing yourself to others is a great way to become depressed and a bad waste of your time and energy.
You do you.
No one is keeping score here.
😺✌️
@@ellagoreyshorrorstories7524 But what if I get pleasure from the competition?
I read “I who have never known men” based on your review. Thanks! It made me think about what gives meaning to our lives and makes life worth living.
When you talk about Flicker, I have flashbacks to a brilliant and disturbing British film called Berberian Sound Studio. I had to watch it in 15 minute intervals because it felt so claustrophobic to me. But it was fantastic.
Really enjoyed how embarrassed you were at your love for the praying mantis book. 😂
There’s a third movie version of The Thing from a few years ago. Stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who does a great job playing the hero.
Looking forward to reading Flicker. Thanks for highlighting it in May.
😺✌️
I read Who Goes There? for the first time a few months back and was similarly blown away by how great it was and how much like the movie it was. I did wonder though if some of that enjoyment was carried over from the enjoyment of the film in my subconscious.
Ah, the killer slugs again! 😂
They’re the best
They‘re raiding my garden at the moment 😱😂 I hope the don’t come trying to snatch me at night 🙈
Thank you once again for your kind words, Olly!
I’ve been after Flicker for years!! Glad to hear it’s great. And like you I’m back into comics in a big way, reading loads of Frank Miller I’ve never read. Haven’t not collected Alan Moore for years it’s good to branch out…got his complete run of Daredevil lined up next and then the first Strontium Dog omnibus.
You e got a treat in store with the Strontium compilations!😁
@@lukethomas216 Haven’t read any since I was a kid, loved the character then. Probably because I was and still am a massive Spaghetti Western fan and it gave me those vibes in a SF setting.
It is still the best space-western ever! And it has some noble company in that genre.
There is an extended version of Who goes there called Frozen Hell . It was only found about 12 years ago . also quite short but worth reading .
I guessed your favorite book correctly! My favs from May were the first two books in the Bree Taggert series by Melinda Leigh. I also really enjoyed Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-Reum.
I never hear anyone mention flicker ! It has been one of my favourite books since I read it many years ago and my son also read it and loved it .
Love your channel!!
I bought Flicker and it had nothing but good reviews!
Great review. 🎉 Lots of interesting books. 😊
nice to see shaun hutson on the list, some of his early stuff is fun but he just gets better over time he has also done sequels to spawn and renegades which i highly recomend they are called progeny and testement
Calling it at minute 1: Flicker.
Great Horrific month, Olly! Lovely Wrap up! I think I know…. 😂 - MJ
Blessings from Chicago hon. I do have a problem: separating the artist from the art. My god, read the talented mr Ripley and loved it. Well, I looked up ms highsmith on google. Boy oh boy, honestly wished I hadn't. Gave the book away, a lovely copy too, to our thrift bookstore cause I can't read someone's stuff that was that awful privately. And I do mean awful. How do you do it? I think you even made a video about this kind of thing awhile back.❤❤❤
Yes she was a pretty awful person. I can’t remember if I’ve ever done a video on it but to me it comes down to does my enjoyment of the book balance out my distaste at the writer’s views. Another big factor is whether the book espouses those views and whether the author is an active campaigner for views I disagree with.
Hmmm Flicker as book of the month 🤔 I did guess that would be it, only because you've mentioned it at least 29 times now 🤭
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Have you read any Robert Cormier? Tenderness, I am the Cheese, We All Fall Down. He's a YA author that really pushes the envelope.
I don't think I have, but I definitely remember seeing his books in the library as a kid and thinking they looked cool
May I take this opportunity to ask you a question please?
I've started writing 2 books, done couple chapters on each, ones a military book, and ones a horror book regarding vampire's, but adult grown up real horror so to speak.
Anyway My question is , how and would you recommend regarding getting self published or Amazon, any tips from avid reader, like you Olly Ijust love all things books.
Kind Regards
👻
There is a film of In The Tall Grass it's a actually well made simple film
Wow I am a slow reader
💚🖤
If ive learned anything by watching your channel is that i definitely gravitate towards trash. Highbrow, classic, metaphoric, insightful stuff just doesnt make sense to me. I dont want to spend hours, day, weeks deciphering analogies of a political or social nature. I want to be entertained. I dont want any extensions of the real world in a past time that should be relaxing and fun. So now i watch your channel exclusively for books that fit the "fun" "trashy" genres. Do the Goosebump books take place in modern times (cell phones etc)?
