An Idiot Guesses The Cosmere
Переглядів 74Місяць тому
I haven't read any books by #brandonsanderson let alone anything from the #cosmere but with #windandtruth coming out this week I thought I would do a fun video on how much I can guess what these are about from just the title and what little knowledge I have had. Was I right? How wrong was I? Is there anything you think sounds more interesting? Shout out in the video to @SamHarrison2099 For some...

Why I Can't Stop Thinking About This Classic
Storm of swords was a masterpiece!
It was soooooo good!
Hope you enjoy bookshops and bonedust! I had a blast with it
Yeah I'm looking forward to it! I didn't realise it was set so long before Legends & Lattes
Such a cool challenge!
@@ScorpionLibrarian thank you so much! What's your favourite disney film?
The hunchback of Norte Dame has become my favourite Disney movie, and then Lola and stitch!
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) A book with a character with a disability A book with a clock on the cover Advanced: A book written by an author with a disability
R said she wants books related to Beauty & the Beast & you get our of our house 🤣
@@LianneBurbage Beauty and the Beast (1991) An enemies to lovers book A book about books Advanced: A book with a character trapped in a house
Ooh, i really love this idea and this challenge. I might try to do it next year (as i'm already overbooked this year), but it sounds fun! When i was a kid, my two favorites were Pinokkio and Cinderella. Right now picking a favorite is hard, but i keep rewatching Encanto or listening to the songs, so i guess that one?
This challenge came from 2024 so I'm doing it late. Encanto (2021) A book written by a Latinx author A book where a house has powers Advanced: A book translated from Spanish
Cool Challenge. When I 3 to 5 years old my favourite Disney Movies were Cinderella and Little Mermaid. Then I discovered The Sound of Music. And then the Lion King. 😊
@@BasicallyNeda The Lion King (1994) A book set in Africa A book with a character who has a prominent scar Advanced: A book with an evil uncle
@@timburbagereads Thanks, Maybe I'll try it for next month☺
I saw the UA-cam shorts before the book was written. It's a great study in both similarities and contrasts to have seen them both.
@@maigretus1 she just posted a video on salea. She has done super well!!
Sounds interesting, might look into this one. Great review as always
It was a good old fashioned adventure
I’d actually never heard of this until you mentioned it in your videos - you really sell it here. This goes to the TBR.
It is very famous in Britain. I really hope you read it and enjoy it Charlie. Something that I wanted to say (but got distracted) in that I think it was really brave for Malorie Blackman to make the black community historically and socially dominant and "the bad guys".
Its not a hardback, its a knocky book+
@@LianneBurbage 100% correct my apologies
I love that you’re splitting up the year in thirds. I haven’t heard of anyone doing that. I love your goals!! Good luck with them all!!
@@Maeve_Ever_Books thank you! I did Monthly goals last year and it was a bit much so lets see how this year goes
Nice TBR. Hope you enjoy them. 😊
Thank you! I hope so too!
Hope you achieve your goals this year. 😊
@@BasicallyNeda Thanks Neda. ❤️
Thanks for the shout out! I need to film myself buying 2025 goals video too. As you love Asian fiction maybe Sword of Kaigen would be up your street for a fantasy and an indie read. Not read it myself but I’ve owned it for like 2 years now.
@@SamHarrison2099 Yeah I have that one possibly in mind. I also have 5-10 others that I got for free on kindle a while ago

Great Goals Tim! I also want to spend a good part of 2025 reading some more Michael Crichton
@@Already-Overbooked I look forward to joining you on that journey? What ones have you read so far?
@timburbagereads Not a lot: Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain, Timeline and Pirate Latitude I am rereading Jurassic Park this month and going to try to read one book of his every month but we will see
@Already-Overbooked 1 a month! That's a lot! Jurassic Park is one of my absolute favourite films, and it was interesting to see what changes they made. I think I'm going to go for Congo or Airframe first, but I'm not sure
I also want to utilize my library more but I also also want to read more indie authors. The two don’t go hand and hand. Splitting the year in to thirds does make the goals all that much more attainable. Interested to see what books you pick up this year! Would love to read something together and talk about it on the internet.
I thought about putting in a readalong for every chunk, but it would require more work 😂 I am reading A Hero Born at the moment if you want to join in. *hint hint*
@ unfortunately Jan is already too stacked but maybe I can catch up next month!
@charlie-read-a-book yeah definitely. You can always catch the videos later. I mighy end up doing the whole series this year because I love it so much!
Very good review. Agree its too long but gives an interesting alternative view to the standard WWII Nazi stuff. Knew you would get the nuance of it and the relatability to current events!
@@craighatto thanks Craig! It's a book I would never pick up, so the mystery challenge definitely worked!
This is such a fun idea - was fun to follow along with it throughout the year as well
It was really fun! My wife did a great job!
Cool list Tim! Loved your thoughtful explanation for the Harry Potter books, which is a series we both adore and were the generation for. We've mainly avoided talking about them online for any great length. Happy new year to you and the fam from C&Y!
@@storytoob thanks Carlos and Yolanda. I had to edit out a lot of pauses as I was trying to say it right! It's a complex subject but it all goes away when I see my kids engage with it. I've just started reading Chamber of Secrets to the kids and they are loving it. Happy New Year and I hope your 2025 is a bit more....stable? 😂
@@timburbagereads that's amazing! And an experience we both look forward to as well... Someday 😆 Cheers! I bloody hope so... C
I love The Princess Bride movie!! I read the book and As You Wish which is a memoir biography by Cary Elwes last year. Love them all. I really need to read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell. I love the His Dark Materials trilogy. I know a lot of people don’t but, they’re some of my favorites. I also still love the Harry Potter series. I haven’t bought any of the books, movies, or merch new. I just buy things used from other people. I love Lord of the Rings! Basic or not. The books are extraordinary!!
@@Maeve_Ever_Books I read As You Wish as well and it showed what a fantastical life Andre the Giant lived. Thanks for the comment and also for being such a great member of the community!
Sounds like you had fun reading the. 😊 I also had fun watching you review them☺
@@BasicallyNeda thanks so much! How are your reading challenges going?
@@timburbagereads I had my 10 series in 2024 and I finished them by July. Probably why I ended up with a reading slump. lol I don't think I will do that this year.😊I did accomplish one book by a Canadian Author a month. Which I will continue this year. ☺
Will be adding to the tbr, thanks for sharing
Thanks for commenting ❤️ I want to try and find the rest of the series☕️
Oof, sounds like difficult material to work through. Not come across anything like this myself but yeah, that can make for an uncomfortable read. Hope you had something nice and warm and heartfelt to read along side it.
Thanks. I can usually read something in the context of the time period, but this was too far for me
I disagree about the eye of the world, I assume you didn’t finish WOT
I have only read the first one. I have the second one on my kindle and plan to read it in 2025
I will forever be reread ASOIAF no matter if Grrm doesn’t finish it (I believe he came out and said he won’t be)

@@ladymairreads he has come out and said a lot of stuff 😂 Who is your favourite random side character?
Great top 10 and good job with the video!
@@TimmoUK thanks Timmo. It took over 3 hours to edit!!
Always lovely to see Jonathan Strange grace another top 10
@@hardysbooks All Hail the Raven King! 🐦⬛
I dont know if you've read them but if not, go get the two Kingkiller Chronicles books. They are my favorite.
@@mfsars1075 I have heard great things (more so about the 1st than 2nd) but nothing has really made me want to read them yet
I agree on The Song of Ice and Fire. Those books are special.
@@mfsars1075 they so are. It's a shame that everyone focusses on the ending (or lack of it) but they revolutionised the fantasy genre
I will respectfully (angrily) disagree with His Dark Materials, I'm still mad at that trilogy & it's been 6 years. The 3rd book was god awful & I will die on this hill
Isn't that what he said, basically?
@@mfsars1075 this is my wife 😂😂😂
@@LianneBurbage sorry!!! Do you want to do a Top 10 Isadora Moon books video?
@timburbagereads I don't think you could narrow them down to a top 10, too much joy
Great list. 😊
@@BasicallyNeda thank you so much Neda! This is by far the most editing I have ever done!!!
Mortal engines sounds so good. Thanks for sharing, seems like an amazing reading month.
I absolutely love it. The first series especially.
Some great reads here.
@@Lost_the_plot89 thank you! 📚
awesome review
@@Lost_the_plot89 thanks for the lovely comment Bings ❤️
😅 I'll get out of your house if you'll let me have that sweater. 😅😊❤ Wonderful video. 🙂
@@advaitc2554 haha I have a selection of Christmas jumpers! ☃️ thanks for the comment
Great Review! ☺I got the audio book from the Libby App. Will listen to it soon.😊 Did you know that there is a whole series of these books. When I went to put a hold on it on the Libby App it gave me the other books in the series too.😊
I have the other 4 ready for you!
@@annarawlings519 ooooh!! Definitely interested
This has been on my book for a very long time now and I think it’s time I finally give it a read. It sounds so interesting and hearing what the stories are about makes me think I’ll be able to relate to a couple of them in a way that will make them really toy with my emotions.
@@charlie-read-a-book 100% it will affect you. Also you can read it in 1-2 hours super quick
Wonderful review. It sounds like a really interesting book xx
@@EmmaJonYoureWelcome thank you for the wonderful comment ❤️ It was really interesting and I want to read more like it
Sounds great. I bought a copy in summer when I was on holiday but haven’t read it yet. Sounds like it might be a nice little holiday season book for December.
@@CamsCampbell A lot of the book is set in the Tokyo summer so they are all complaining about how hot it is. That might warm you up a bit!
Okay fiiiiiine I’ll read it lol (great video Tim!)
@@ladyfarseer reeeeeead it. Just be prepared to cry a bit 😭
Intriguing book... a great idea too.
@@book-ramble intriguing is a good way to describe it! Thanks for the comment ❤️
I have read this one (and the next in the series). Very emotive if you don't think too hard about the actual mechanics. You can almost smell the coffee through the pages.
@@RaeLovesToRead I think it isnt about the mechanics at all, I think its about the human experience. I cried in the last chapter (and almost cried in the others)
@@timburbagereads Absolutely. You just have to ignore the plotholes vis-a-vis time travel and get swept along in the story!
That is not a clock. That is a cat. 😂😂
@@RaeLovesToRead false advertising needs to be called out! 😂
I never seen those covers before
@@cambry1044 they are the old British covers. They have now been replaced and I think I like the new ones more. Thanks for the comment!
Haven’t read any of these! The mortal engines series does sound good I hope to get to that one some day.
@@charlie-read-a-book thanks Charlie. Mortal Engines is def in my top 10 all time
Great TBR! "Before The Coffee Gets Cold" Sounds very interesting. Maybe I'll pick it up in January. Thanks for the recommendation.😊
@@BasicallyNeda I'm reading it now and it's really good!
@@timburbagereads Can't wait to see your review of it. ☺
