Hi I'm Jiun.
(As in "June", although it's just my alias)
You are welcome to my channel Livriomer (which comes from the word "Libro", meaning "book")
I love reading and this is my space to share with you my readings, my thoughts about them and other stuff related with books.
My favorite genre is Sci-Fi. And I want to explore more about Cyberpunk, Space Opera and Robots.
I also enjoy reading Fantasy, Detective, some classics and I will also add religious books.
Most of my videos are reviews or summary books.
I have in the channel two new series:
1.- A podcast (Cybertech Alley Podcast)
2.- Bible reading (Starting with the book of Tobit)
Also, I will continue reading books from the SF Masterworks collection.
So, I hope you enjoy the content.

CyberTech Alley Podcast / Ep. 2 - Genres
Too bad you didn’t enjoy Wuthering Heights. That’s a book I can’t remember if I read in school or not but have not felt any inclination to pick it up either. As I’m trying to read some more romantic style classics I’m finding I don’t enjoy them. Love the sound of the rainy background! You’ll need to read something uplifting after reading that gloomy book,haha! Maybe a cozy Japanese book?
The problem is that it's not even romantic, it's kind of idiotic love and the ending was not even rewarding to bear all the drama. Well, not all was bad, but at the end you don't feel reading a nice book. Oh, yeah, sure you mean those sad japanese books heheh. I think I have found happiness by watching japanese and korean dramas instead, at least the ones which are funny hehe.
Great progress! So many books you’ve read. I’m failing miserably at my big books and feel like I just want to read something short and cozy instead. I was hoping you would not agree with almost everyone else and wind up liking the Dune series, oh well I guess it just doesn’t have the same magic as the initial books by Frank. Good to see a video from you. I had wondered about how your reading was going. It’s so difficult to get the right recording situation sometimes.
@@thepapertraveler1122 it's like I want to read a suitable boy and I don't want at the same time heheh. I found more interesting and rewarding to read short books. So for now, I'm ok with that. Ah yes Dune series have good things, but at the certain moments or books the story become pointless and boring. One thing I didn't mention is that the 7th book has a space opera element which I really enjoyed and the plot gets much interesting with a specific ability of some characters. I can't say so much so I don't spoil. And about recording, it's so hard. I have many ideas to record but it's almost impossible to do it with the noise. For instance my videos about the book of tobit and cybertech alley podcast need to have a quiet ambience, because one is religious and the other is supposed to happen at night while raining. How can I do that if from sunrise to sunset you will constantly hear motorcycles passing by? heheh so yes, it's really hard hehe
fantastic july!!! congrats on reaching 80 im looking forward to your video on wuthering heights try fahrenhwit 451, super short, very easy read im still on pg910 of suitable boy well done on reaching this point in dune, id never be able to do it😊 #midyearmanga thank you for joining!! i read 3, i need to update that
@@thegkbc4510 I already recorded the audio for wuthering heights, I just need to edit it. I have read fahrenheit, but it could be another possibility as a reread. I should have commented earlier about the manga, but as I read it from internet, I was doubting about mentioning it as it doesn't come from a good source, if you know what I meaning, but I still wanted to participate in your challenge. Just waiting to see what you read. Thanks for your words.
@@livriomer any kind of reading counts!!
I read the first 3 books back in the 80s when they were released but never finished the sequence. Just re-started the sequence and plan to finish it this time. Great writer and a cracking plot.
@@CraigTulloch excellent story indeed. I'm tempted to reread it and finish the last book I never read. But I'm reading and finishing other books and series, that I still have to wait a bit more. Thanks so much for your comment. I'm always happy when someone comments about this amazing series.
I can’t remember if I read that book in school or not but I heard Fall is a great time to read that book for the atmosphere.
yes, I think it would go well in autumn, but I felt it a bit more like winter, cold, misty and sad. hehe. I haven't finished it yet, but I already have my thoughts about it, unless the ending is surprising.
@@livriomer oh, I thought by coming soon, you meant reading it soon. It’s one I don’t own but have pondered buying here and there so I’m interested in your upcoming thoughts.
@@thepapertraveler1122 ah no, hehe, 30 pages more and I finish it. So, soon I would like to create a video talking about it
Love this hauntingly beautiful book!
@@tadreadsbooksstuff I just finished it, so now I can give my thoughts about it hehe, coming soon.
A Suitable Boy is equal to 2 chonky books. 😊 Good luck with it. I haven't read Outlander but I have watched several seasons of the show. I hope you enjoy it. Personally I loved Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. If you enjoy Monty Python or Discworld, that kind of humour then it might appeal to you. I'm looking forward to how we all do.
I read the whole Discworld series just two years ago, and it was hilarious, well... some books more than others, but I'm still not sure if I will have the same fun with Hitchhikers. Hopefully I will. Thanks for your words.
Oh yeah!!!! Another victim for A Suitable Boy Happy to be co-hosting with you again!! Hope we can do as well as we did last year I read Kim's comment, I'm also in the minority of the Hitchhiker book, but I hope you like it!!
Haha another victim hehe. Yeah happy to be here again, one year already of meeting each other. Well, I will just read and see if the books are good or not hehe
I’m glad to have you joining me again in the challenge and good luck with your reads! Also, good news, I just found out yesterday another booktuber will be joining us-Kathi from the channel Nerdy Kathi. I read Hitchhikers Guide several years ago and although everyone seems to love the book, I thought it was just ok. It does have a lot of humor that starts out great but I felt it was trying too hard as the story progressed, but I’m in a huge minority. I’ll be interested in hearing how you like the book. The Outlander books are great on audiobook also if you get a chance to squeeze it in. Whew, I sure do hope A Suitable Boy is worth that page count!
Ay I didn't know if not I could have mentioned her in the video. But for sure I will create a video to tell the progress, and I will add her. Yes, I have the feeling that hitch hikers is overvalued, but I will see, and I feel I will enjoy outlander more than suitable boy, but reading a big book is always nice anyway.
I had never heard of Have Space Suit Will Travel. From what I’ve heard, most people lose interest in the Dune series after book 3. It’s tough to read a series you’re not really interested in anymore. Here lately I’ve been wanting to read more Science fiction but I have too many other books going to commit to more,haha!
Have space... is from 1958, so it's one of those old scifi classic. Nominee for Hugo award. the only reason why I read it hehe. I don't think it's known. But I liked it. it was simple, engaging and I would say that one main theme is friendship. That's is why it reminded me of those 90's movies like The Sandlot, where you can see the friendship. Nothing to do, but have you watched a movie called Crater, which is a story about some children living in the moon?. It's a nice family movie. Oh yes, Dune... well it feels like that story is stretching and it's not so interesting anymore. Well, I hope you can read at least one scifi book, but I understand that there are always other books to read first. hehe
Also, I forgot to mention it but I loved hearing the rain and thunder in the background. Quite cozy!
I like rainy days, so I enjoy the sound of the rain too. Although, it is not nice when it is a typhoon. But most of the time, we have electrical storms, so it's very common to hear thunders.
@@livriomer I find it interesting hearing about climates in different parts of the world.
This was interesting to watch. I know very little about Japanese shows as I think I’ve mentioned before. I’ve heard of Alice in Borderland but not any of the others. The bookstore one sounds interesting and I’ve written down Summer Time Machine Blues to watch. Looks like it’s available on UA-cam. Thanks for the recommendations!
Alice is a recent show, and it's not for children. But it's a good series, the ending is wow! no words, very good. You are right, Summer time is in youtube, it makes me want to watch it again, hehe, I watched it so many years ago. OH nothing to do, but I watched the other 2 movies of Kaiji. And they are not that good, they are ok, but the 1st movie is the best representation of the society and how we do in relationship with money. That is why I suggested it, although I didn't like the ending. You can find The bookstore series, in certain pages, that YT always bans my comments for sharing them.
@@livriomer I may need to add Alice to my watchlist too;)
this was really cool what prompted you to rank Japanese shows? my favorite Jaoenese movie is the original dubbed Godzilla
I think it was a comment with Kim long ago. I think I was talking about this series related with old and rare books. I wanted to talk about that series, or maybe it was about the movie summer blues or sth, but also I think it was when you mentioned 1Q84. The series I mentioned have no specific order. I can mention more. But I tried to suggest different type of series. There are plenty of series and movies that are really great. Usually I go for comedy. I have never watched any Godzilla movie except the American version. If you are interested in suggestions or you want to know more about the ones I mentioned, you can tell me.
@@livriomer id love to watch a good show thriller/mystery
@@thegkbc4510 old series tend to be a bit slower, it means that they can be a bit boring at certain moments. But if you want a bit more action and suspense, with a bit of mystery, I would suggest Alice in borderland, the plot is good but it is not for children, because of certain scenes. If you want a bit more of detective and mystery, then Trick. Which is silly , and a bit creepy and dark. Some people suggest the actress in this series as a good actress to play the role of the woman in the book 1Q84, well if there was a movie. And I don't know if you have read the book or watched the movie Battle Royale? I'm not sure if it's a thriller, I think so but it's a bit bloody. Where Japan punishes students in a competition where only one can survive. Excellent movie, weird though. And there is a second movie too.
Congrats on reaching GOLD! You’re doing fantastic with all of your goals. I like how your reading month had a good mixture of different types of books. Good to hear you had a mostly positive reading month too.
Thank you, I think trying to read short books just because they are short makes me choose books I don't enjoy so much. While choosing bigger books that I do want to read makes the challenge longer hehe. You are right, reading different types of books helps to avoid burning out.
Yes!!!!!! great job on reaching gold!! now you can cross off pullman on your spreadsheet, congrats sounds like a good month km impressed youre so deep into dune i read first book and that was enough for me
I think the first book of Dune is the essence of the story, after that we will see the descendants and, even though, there are interesting things to see later on, it feels like the story is stretching only, but I don't know what will happen in the following books. Thank you
@@livriomer I'll enjoy watching/hearing you talk about them, that is enough for me! :)
Love Wuthering Heights and I have always wanted to read Ben Bova just never gotten to him.
I read Saturn by Ben Boba and I really enjoyed it. Although I know it's part a long series called the grand tour, if I'm not wrong. But I think it worked as stand alone. I have no idea what is this book empire builders is about hehe. As far as I read wuthering heights, it was very depressing and dark, I mean the sad environment. But I want to finish it heheh.
Good luck with your reading in May and I hope you find at least a couple of new favorites. I’m hoping to get a few read I didn’t get finished in April also.
I hope to read a bit more this month too. We can agree that we need more hours per day to read and finish all hehe
i enjoyed this greatly would you mind if i did an answering video or would you prefer me to comment my own LOTR beginnings?
Please, yes, do an answering video, I will love to hear about it. After I uploaded the video, I forget to add some more ideas, like I used the book (The Hobbit) for my Thesis, And I was willing to learn more about those languages. So I think there is a couple of other things I forgot to mention, that in some way, they changed my life. (Maybe, it's one of the reason why I love languages, and I ended up learning English) So, please I would love to hear what you have to say about these books. And I appreciate you enjoyed the video.
@@livriomer do you mind if i borrow the alley?
@@thegkbc4510 hehe how is that? You mean the video?
@@livriomer the name for my video
@@thegkbc4510 you mean using the word alley to use it in your video? sure, anything you need.
the only thing i enjoyed in the Pullman series was the battle polar bear the rest was yuk to me im hsppy the dune series has picked up for you good wrapup
The second is better, but I just can't connect with the characters it seems a mess of characters and stories because of the multiple universes or world. But I will finish the series. I still haven't started the fourth book of Dune, because I started reading the prelude to foundation, which I'm so hooked by it. Thank you for commenting
@@livriomer ill be watching
I read His Dark Materials trilogy years ago when it first came out and remember being intrigued but a bit confused by the first book and liked the sequels. I did not enjoy the movie starring Nicole Kidman but really enjoyed the HBO series and felt it helped explain the Dust concept better than the books did. I liked Dune Messiah even though it was mostly dialogue but felt it moved along nicely and definitely has me interested in reading Children of Dune. Hope your reading is better in April!
I just finished the second book in His dark material. Much better. But I still don't like the characters, and I find the plot messy. A mix of fantasy with scifi??. But I will continue reading the third one. Oh I didn't like Messiah because I felt the whole plot was about having children. But the third one was better. Maybe next week I will read the fourth one.
Absolutely agree that Hyperion Cantos is fantastic if not the best I have ever read. I am always pleased to see content creators to explore this fictional universe. As far as the story of this novella goes I actually enjoy it very much, even before I got to those surprises at the end but those actually made me almost weep with what consequences it brings to whole Cantos. If you are right and there is some other novella around the Shrike, I must have it! Did not know about it but I will have no rest before I find out, thank you. Enjoy good reads Livriomer and perhaps in future...
wow! thank you so much for your comment and sharing your love for this amazing series. I know there is a bit more material about the shrike or at least, connected with Hyperion, but I haven't read those stories, so I'm not sure. All I know it's that there are two stories: "Remembering Siri", and "The Death of the Centaur", which are part of a book called "Prayers to broken stones" by Dan Simmons. In some way, those stories are connected with the Hyperion universe. But I don't know if any of the characters in Hyperion cantos appears or is mentioned in some way. But I hope you will be able to find that book.
Hope you enjoy your April plans! I’ve not read either of those books but will be interested in hearing your thoughts on them. I had not done a paint by numbers kit for many years but on my birthday outing with my daughter in February we both bought a kit to paint.Mine is not as detailed as yours but will still be a challenge for my aging eyes. I’m hoping to work on it some over the Summer months.
Sure, I will comment about both books once I finished them. I'm very excited about the painting, but it looks very complex. I wanted sth like that to have a lot of patience hehe. You have to show that project in your channel, if you plan to do that painting.
yay, book of Tobit is coming back
Yes, I will start recording next week, because I really want to read the whole book. And thanks for supporting me on that.
The Artherapy looks fun. Will get one for myself. Looking forward to many more videos. Later.
Thank you! I'm very excited to do that project. It's been long since I have it, and I just hope the paints are not dried hehe. But it looks really fun.
40 books, rock on!! i am digging that cover for windup girl, on steampunk, where would you suggest a newbie start? might be a video? kim was telling me that you may havr talked about 1q84, if so could you point me to that video? im reading that right now and it is definitely an experience
Thank you! oh hmmm, well I found a list of cyberpunk books to read, in a page called readthistwice. They also have a list for steampunk books. I'm not expert in the genre, so I can't suggest books, but Perdido Street station was a good book, and it is more steampunk than cyberpunk. Search for 92 steampunk books in Readthistwice page. And about 1Q84, I think I haven't done any video specifically for that book, as far as I can remember. I might have mentioned it once, but I am not sure. I read it long ago, and I think I created a video for that book, but in a different channel that I don't use anymore. It's definitely an experience indeed. Some people don't like certain scenes, but as a fan of any japanese drama, movie or book (well, most of them) I did enjoy the book. oh by the way, try to find the music that is mentioned in the book, like classic orquestra, it will help the experience hehe
@@livriomer i finished it, it was up n down but more up i am going to find some of the music for sure thank you for the steampunk list
You’re moving right along with the challenge! I’m at 22 right now moving at a snails pace, haha, but that’s ok. Good to hear The Windup Girl was good. I don’t know when I’ll get to it but it’s on a Steampunk book stack I have. Too bad about Dune 2 book. I think I’ll delay reading that one for a while.
I'm trying to read and listen more now, because I feel that I won't be able to do it in the future. I don't tend to read too many books per month, but now I am reading short books, like Agatha christie. I think the wind up girl is more like biopunk than steam punk or cyberpunk. I enjoyed the stories, but I didn't like the ending. I wanted it something different, and Yes, it can be a bit too much explicit at certain moments in terms of adult content. OH, the second book of Dune is not bad, it is just... not too much is going on. Except until the end. OH, but I can say is that I have finished reading the 3rd book for this month of march, and I found it way better. I actually enjoyed it more than the first book.
awesome answers nice to learn more about you good sir
Thanks to You for tagging me. It was fun.
rebecca was soooo good i was with you, i had always thought it was maybe a ghost story a gothic mystery worked too though great wrapup!! good luck on the dune series
Yes, I enjoyed reading Rebecca. It was a book well done, in terms of keeping the mystery until the end. Oh I finished the second book of Dune. It was just ok hehe
Ooo thanks for the tag! I havent done a tag video in a minute.
you're welcome. I think is a good tag to know more about the person. But I didn't understand some words. Hehe
I feel much the same way about popular books on Booktube. Even though I’m curious what makes them so special, it’s hard to read them with an open mind and makes me not want to read them. I’m glad to hear about those other science fiction books. That’s a genre I’ve not read as much of in the last year and hoping to tackle a few that are more of a speculative sci-fi. Glad you decided to do a wrap up so I can see your progress!
Yes, I tend to lose interest in books that everyone is reading. I enjoy booktube recommendations, as long as they aren't mainstream hehe. I prefer to discover unknown books. I think wrap up videos suits me better than doing TBR videos. But I feel I'm having difficulties in expressing my thoughts while trying to find the right word in English or following the correct grammar. I think I need to study English again heheh. I hope you can give some time to scifi books. You could do a poll to ask for suggestions among the books you already have, so people will choose a good one heheh.
Also, I love the look of those book journal pages! I’m unable to print from home but will try from work.
Oh thank you. I would love to have some feedback about it, so I can improve in creating similar content. Oh by the way, I am not sure, but I think I left a comment in your video, and I think youtube deleted it hehe, I think youtube doesn't like links added in comments. I was just trying to share a page where people vote for the best actor or actress to play the role of some book's characters. which helps to visualize them.
Yes, it must have gotten deleted. I’ll try doing a google search. I’ve had a couple deleted lately and it didn’t even have a link??
@@thepapertraveler1122 yes, it is strange. Try typing mycast. fan casting your favorite stories
Congratulations on reaching bronze level and sharing your books. You’ve really been cranking out the sci-fi books! I’ll be sure to avoid the Michael Moorcock book in the future,haha. I own a few of his but not that one. I was thinking the same thing about Rebecca and was expecting something spooky but enjoyed the read. My daughter convinced me to read The Host many years ago when it first came out and it’s one I really enjoyed and was disappointed when Book 2 never happened. I’m reading Dune right now too-finally. I’m about 60% done and hope to make good progress with it this weekend.
The problem with the book is that the author does a retelling of the story, and changes the role of Jesus, Mary, Joseph and John the Baptist in a way that is degrading and insulting, which can affect those who are believers. Oh, I didn't know that the Host has a second book. I feel it was ok, a bit YA for me, but it was easy to read and entertaining. I just finished Dune, and I enjoyed it much more than the first time I read it. But I am intrigued to know what's going to happen next. I was supposed to watch the movie, but at the end I didn't do it hehe.
I read The Host back when I read a lot of YA so it would probably not be as good to me now perhaps. I watched Dune, the new one , when it first came out and felt there were many blanks and rewatched it now after getting that far in the book and got into it a little more this time but felt myself picking it apart a little since having just read Part 1.
ill be a fan ill share your shop on my channel too if uou dont mind
Nice! Good luck!
Thank you so much!
Good luck in your future artistic endeavors!
Thank you so much. And I also hope to bring a bit more stuff to add in the channel, but the end of the year seems to be very busy hehe.
Congrats on reaching your 1st goal!
I'm all into becoming a Challenger hehe.
you can do it!! i have faith in you i hope you share some of your books as you go in january im reading my furst tad williams book too!! im doing my own version of the read what yiu own thing and im joining Kim on the reading list
I think it's possible. But it will take a long time hehe. I will try to share the best readings. What book from tad Williams are you planning to read?
@@livriomer hmmm, i cant think of it, but its like a 10 book series
When I was looking up the League tiers online I noticed there was an Emerald but thought you had just omitted it on purpose to make your numbers come out right,haha. Glad you put the chart with ranking up on the screen. I did a screenshot for future reference. Dune is one of those books I said I was definitely going to read in 2024 but yet here it is mid November and I have so many to still finish first. Oh well, looks like it’s going to rollover onto another year. I didn’t realize there were so many books in the series. I purchased the first book and found the others up to Chapterhouse Dune at a library sale years ago but ,like you, I heard they weren’t as good as the first book. Sounds like you’re making good progress with your challenge so far! I’m 1 down 99 to go,lol!
I used the image with all the ranks for the first video, and I didn't even notice that hehe, my bad. just when I was creating the chart I used now, it was when I noticed that tier hehe. I haven't played that game in a year, and ranked games in maybe 2, so I don't know all the new changes. So now I fix it , so instead of 25, it is 20, and so on. About Dune, I am not sure, but I think those 8 books are in the main series, because the latest books were written by the son only. Oh I am making progress with the challenge, but I forgot to mention in the video, that , while I am working on the computer, I am using the audio book feature. I prefer to read more than listening, but it helps while I am doing things, and if I want to read big books also, I need to speed up the progress. Well, 1 book = one dollar, so it is a good news hehe
I love the ranking idea and may adopt that method also! I actually rewatched the video so I could write it all down. My son plays that game with his work friends. I read His Dark Materials years ago and thought it was just ok and felt I still didn’t understand the meaning of dust but after watching the recent HBO series, I felt like it explained more and brought the books to life. 200 whew! Good luck with your challenge!
Now that I think, challenger will be kind of hard. And If I consider that I never passed Gold rank in the game.... well, I will really need to work hard on this challenge. Oh, if your son plays that game, then I bet he will watch the Worlds this coming sunday. In the past, you had to play 5 games before knowing your starting rank. That is why I plan to read 5 books before reaching iron. mm I don't know what to think about the Golden compass, at least I go with zero knowledge about the book, so I hope to get surprised. And I also expect to enjoy Outlander, but I am doubting about the romance part, if it is too romance hehe. But the historical and scifi part is what calls my attention.
@@livriomer There are lots of romantic scenes in every book I’ve read in the series that appeal to many readers but, like you, I don’t like those parts and just skim through those parts in general. The same when I’m watching the TV series also. The thing I enjoy most is how she uses the things in this time period as a nurse /Dr to treat people and the way of life in those times in general. It’s good from a historical standpoint in learning Scottish and US history also. I’ll be eager to hear your thoughts. The first book is the shortest in the series.
@@thepapertraveler1122 I love history, so it sounds great. As I planned this reading before the 200 book challenge, I thought in starting Outlander around June, for the Super Size Summer challenge.
how old are you? i have faith you can read a ton of those series im reading shogun in october, over 1200pgs, i love this spreadsheet tad reads books n stuff read the expanse series, he did in depth reviews of the whole thing if i were into fantasy or scifi, id be adding tons of books from this video very informative on series pullmans is 'his dark materials' bored me stiff what did terry goodkind do? ive often thought of reading the star wars books, even legends
I love creating files in Excel. I love creating files and folders and stuff like that hehe, I love creating lists. I'm 40, so if I'm blessed with a long life, I can read all those book. The problem is that, if there is some one coming with a new recommendation, like a book called "Jerusalem", it makes my tbr longer hehehe, Joking, Look, if you have seen my video called We need to talk, then you will understand my dilemma, because I really want to read Shogun. And I would love to participate in your buddy reading... but I can't hehe. I will check the videos about The expanse. Oh I have also heard some similar comments about the books by Pulllman. oh.. Terry Goodkind. ok, I'm not expert in the field. But what I know it's that his personality is the problem hehe. I'm not sure but I think he said his books are not fantasy, but something different, which in other other words, we meant something better hehee. And about the Star wars, after watching the movies, and getting deeper into the story, it's when I felt I wanted to read about the setting and the plot. But I'm in the "Dilemma", so I can't say more of those readings hehe.
And I thought I had a lot of fantasy series I want to read ,haha. I loved watching about all your future reading plans. L.E. Modesitt Jr books always capture my attention because of the covers too. I’ve read the His Dark Materials books years ago and although I liked them, I didn’t love them. I did really enjoy the recent TV series though and would recommend reading the books if you’re going to watch that. Didn’t enjoy the movie made years ago though. Ender’s Game is one I liked but didn’t love enough to want to read any more books in the series. I keep telling myself not to collect any more series to read but there are SO many great sounding ones. Hope you enjoy your future reads!
That's the problem, there are too many series, and there is always a new one that looks interesting. Most of the books I want to read, belong to one of those collections (Ultramar, SF masterworks colleciton, Hugo or Nebula award). But I confess many books, like L.E. Modesitt Jr. books, just call my attention because of the covers. I have one book with short stories, and I can't say I enjoy them, some were militar books (Because I think he fought in Vietnam, not sure). But I hope those series are epic. If I happen to read Dark Material, which is not in my near reading plan hehehe, I will definitely read the books first. And I'm also not so conviced to read Ender's Game. It's just I think I am a completionist, that can't leave an uncompleted series hehe except, if I end up disliking the series.
You rocked this event!! 4 books, one of them Anathem, I think that with that being one of your hurdles leapt, you beat me!! My hats off to you! (or maybe I should doff Kim's hat instead, :P)
Thank you, haha, sure, but just ask for her permission, hehe. Yes, Anathem was the real challenge. But, Perdido Street station helped to clean the bad feeling heheh. That was a fun book.
Thank you so much for being a co-host, and wow, 4 books! Perido Street Station has been on my radar of books I might want to read someday. Glad to hear it’s one you enjoyed and yes it definitely counts for the challenge. This was a fun thing to do over the Summer months! I’m recording my video today and hope to have it up in the morning.
oh the book was really good, full of action. Now I am interested in reading the other two books in the trilogy, but, I think the story is different. Different plot, different characters. I am not sure though. But when you finish Perdido Street Station, it feels like it is a stand alone. I recommend it. Although, there are some crude and controversial scenes, but nothing to diminish the plot or the world building, which in this case is the city. Yes it was very fun, I mean, participating in the challenge (I think I said "channel" instead of challenge in the video, hehe). So, again thanks for the invitation. And waiting to watch your video.
When I started my channel years ago I was reading a lot of YA books but now I have a lot of trouble reading them. I occasionally find one I enjoy but for the most part I don’t. Historical fiction is also another category I was reading years ago,especially WW2 fiction,but the market burned me out on them. As far as Science Fiction, I noticed it has to be a certain kind, more along the lines of speculative fiction. I struggle with Hard science fiction but don’t mind if it’s not too heavy. Fantasy books I’m finding I don’t care for the heavy political type of fantasy but love the ones with quests or exploration of new worlds. I know it’s a heavily used trope but I love the farm boy being a chosen one type of theme also. Love your screen and thanks for sharing your thoughts on the genres!
Ah, then we share the same feelings for these genres. The same for the quests and exploration of worlds. I love those books. I also enjoy "the chosen one" type of books, as long as the character doesn't go overboard , like what I felt in "The wheel of time". That is one reason why I enjoy RPG games and adventure series or movies. I enjoy the exploration theme. Oh the screen... I appreciate you like it, I painted it based on a street in Japan :), and thanks to you for sharing your thoughts also. By the way, I was trying to comment in your channel about the movie Before the coffee... but YT was deleting my comments I think hehe. I shouldn't say this, but if in google you type the name of the book and the word kissasian, you will find it. I'm obessed with japanese series, especially with mistery, humour and scifi series or movies.
@@livriomer I’ve been seeing several people lately complaining about their comments getting deleted for some reason. I typed in what you said and I see what you are talking about with the Asian dramas. I’ll try to check that out-thanks!
@@thepapertraveler1122 really, I tried once, and it was deleted, I tried again, and the comment was deleted, the third time worked hehee, I think it's because I was trying to share some "specific" information hehehe. I would share more info, but I'm not sure YT will like it hehe.
me and my aj are following along with this series we are nd christians so the catholic divide will take some getting used to, but we,are here for the ride with you
I understand that this book is not present in every bible, which is one reason why I want to use this book, but at the same time, the story is quite interesting, and there are many details and values that I want to highlight. Thanks again for the support .
This is so great! Not being Catholic myself I have never read it but I have enjoyed hearing you read it. I did a quick look up and I think there is a lot of value to this book as well. Sometimes it is funny the differences between the Protestant and Catholic Bibles. I love this video. Great job!!
I didn't know there were differences until a couple of years ago. I thought all bibles were the same hehe. Now I know. I chose Tobit because it's not so known, it's kind of short and it's a fun story with a powerful value. I just feel shy that I must be reading with many mistakes in pronunciation hehe. Oh I am always waiting for your videos. But I understand it's not always easy to find time to record.
I love this idea and I love the ambiance!
Thank you! I really love this idea, this ambience, and I hope it will give a new feeling or fresh air to the channel.
This is a wonderful idea. I'm so looking forward to the next podcast.
Oh, thank you for your words. I'm already working on the next video.
Wow, you snuck another book in! I read Under the Dome years ago and remember loving it until it got to that VERY weak ending. King really needs to get someone else to write his endings,haha! I wish I could remember why I picked up Anathem. I don’t think it was Booktube but possibly something I read online. I don’t think I’m even going to try to read it since I struggle with hard sci-fi anyway. It will make nice shelf decor. I’ve finished another big book and although I enjoyed it, I definitely needed just a quick read afterward. Thanks for the update!
I really enjoyed under the dome. I agree, the ending came so fast. I think the tv series looks better, but also very different from the book. I dont recommend Anathem. The simple premise keeps the whole tedious book alive. It's too deep and not enjoyable. I read it because I heard it was similar to The name of the rose, which as far as I know, it is a mistery/detective book. Oh I will wait to hear your thoughts about the book you just finished.
congratulations on finishing les mis and anathem in this challenge!! hooooahhhh!! and you read dome, well done! king can do small town people soo well i liked big jim rennie the most you can do it!! im trying to finish 2 more too WE can do it!!
Thank you!!. I was in the mood to read Under the dome, more than 11/22/63. And I really enjoyed it. Although Big Jim was not my fav character (I mean, can you be that bad person? hehe), now that you say it, I think He was the best developed character as a whole. I am planning to read the second book in the Malazan series, but I want to read Starship Trooper first, so I am not sure I can do it in time, but I will try hehe.
@@livriomer btw, me and my AJ are looking forward to your bible videos you mentioned, we honestly had thought of doing a Sunday thing too just never got around to it im not a fan of 112263, not my thing i did enjoy the starship troopers movie, denise richards especially
@@thegkbc4510 I want to read 11/22 because of the scifi component, but I thought Under the dome would be more fun. Someday I will do it. I haven't watched the movie of starship, but I have spoiled myself watching some short videos. But I think the book is different. Oh, if you are planning to do videos about the bible, you have to do it. I will try to record this night, but my ONLY problem is that I live 5 meters away from 7 roosters, that do their thing just when I want to record hehe, so I always have to wait to find the right time to record, but it is the next video in the list.
@@livriomer roosters want to contribute!! just like the motorcycles
@@thegkbc4510 haha always.
i love love love this type of stuff stats and spreadsheets and lists oh my thanks for sharing and for giving me a few new channels to chexk out
I love lists too, and as I mentioned to Kim, I will try to create other videos about the lists I showed but more in detail. I love lists, I also have lists for movies and series hehe. Oh if you haven't watched the channels I mentioned, you have to. Fit2bread and mediadeathcult are excellent channels for scifi lovers
@@livriomer i did a video few months ago showing off my excel file oooo, cant wait for your other lists
@@thegkbc4510 Then I have to check that video
@@thegkbc4510 I think you will have to guide me, so you tell me which video because I couldnt find it hehe
