Wicked bud. You got me worried about Dandelion though 😂😂😂
@@RekindledReader hey a lot of people love it so maybe I’m wrong on this one🤷🏻♂️ (I’m not)
stephen king but japanese?? gimmee ouuuu you have a discord?? great wrap up and tbr kevin
@@JuliaSapphire I’m not 100% sure but that’s how it was pitched to me😂 really looking forward to it. And the discord I reference here is The Fantasy Nuttwork Patreon-only discord. I had my own for a little while but now it’s just used for some of us to play games together. You can add me as a friend on there if ya want, though! I’m also in the Library of Allenxandria discord and Sarah Reads’s discord :)
Kev hates me confirmed. 😭 Teasing aside, at least you tried...and you tried three different books! So I appreciate you for your willingness to suffer so many times on my behalf.
@@SheWasOnlyEvie no one else I would’ve finished them all for, Eves💜 anyone else was gettin the hammer
Going to do a Kevtempter read and start Speaks The Nightbird audio tomorrow!
I agree on Liu....but not Liveships!
I’m reading Roger of souls next month. That’s book 4 right?
@@AndrewsWizardlyReads River of Souls is book five. Providence Rider is book four
@@kevin.jenkins that’s right!
I really need to check out witchwood crown. Some day…
@@AndrewsWizardlyReads yeah, you do! I think it’s *better* than any of the MST books, but Dragonbone Chair is still my fav
@@kevin.jenkins I love DBC but Green angel tower is my favorite:)
The Midnight Tides glow-up makes me so happy. I can’t think of anything I didn’t like in that book. More people need to add music when they’re reading summaries too, shit slapped. Hoping at least 3 or 4 of these Ben books hit ❤
@@benjamincrowhurst5998 I think they’re mostly guaranteed to hit😎 you and I both have good taste, it should go well❤️
Love everything you said about River of Souls and Freedom of the Mask. Certified bangers. 🔥 Looking forward to your thoughts on Cardinal Black! I'm tempted to reread Swan Song with you but it's a monster and I got so much on my tbr lol
@@Coleton2573 reread it anyway, that tbr can wait😈
Although I love Hobb, I understand your reaction to SoD. ❤
Poor Evie 😂😢 I gave up on SGJ too. 😅
Awesome video, man. You seem really comfortable in front of the camera. I feel like the f word is way underutilized in most booktube channels, not here!
@@AndreDeSimone-dy1cz you’re goddamn fuckin right😎
You had me laughing when you were talking about Wall of Storms 😂 I agree regarding McCammon. Freedom of the Masks is phenomenal. I'm waiting for the final book to restart this series. Also, I started reading the Penn Cage series based on your recommendation. I'm really enjoying them, I'm currently 100 pages into book 3. Iles definitely tackles VERY difficult topics.
Haha thanks for the shoutout! The Goldfinch and Heroes Die let's gooooo! Also curious how Kafka on the Shore goes for you, one I really want to read!
IT is one of my favs ever. It's been awhile since I've read it so i'd love to reread it some time.
@@JuliaSapphire this was my third read and it’s still wonderful. As I get older I resonate more with the adult sections too. Since you like IT so much you should def check out McCammon’s Boy’s Life (and I’m not just saying that cuz it’s my favorite book😂)
Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read. Isaiah 34:16
@@ayoolukoga9829 I only abide by Austin 3:16
@@kevin.jenkins A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8
I really enjoy reading the Matthew Corbett series and I agree that I didn't enjoy book 3 as much as the first two. I need to read Boy's Life and Swan Song! I just heard another booktuber rave about Lehane, esp. Mystic River: added to the TBR The Liveship Traitors series is top-notch! Where should someone start with Greg Iles?
Hey, sorry for the late reply! Yes, Boy’s Life and Swan Song are must reads, especially if you’ve enjoyed any other McCammon works! As far Greg Iles, I would say his book The Quiet Game is a good place to start. It’s the first book featuring his “main” character Penn Cage (although he has other books with Penn Cage, too).
The shining at the Stanley hotel and mercy of the gods in august for me. Great video
@@sw3dge ooh I forgot about Mercy of the Gods! Hopefully I’m able to get to that in August
@@kevin.jenkins I’m stoked. The preview chapter was great. And I meant hotel not home.
I started my McCammon journey this year and Swan Song and Boy's Life are my two favorite books I've read all year. I'll hopping into Speaks the Nightbird before the years end. Excellent reviews man.
@@blacknbluecollarreader so nice to see the McCammon train picking up steam. I’ll be looking forward to your thoughts on Nightbird, think it’s gonna be another slam dunk for you
In agreement with you on The Mad Ship. I really enjoyed that one!
So glad you're back Kevin! You and Red have some of the greatest reviews out there but you guys don't post as much these days. Still, whenever you have a to read or wrap up or whatever I'm on that motherfucker.
@@RexRoss77 Thanks man, that actually means a lot. Most of the time I feel like what I have to say doesn’t add much to the conversation or no one cares really cares about, so hearing that gives me a little extra motivation to keep chuggin along💪🏻
@@kevin.jenkinsNo brother, you have a lot to add to the conversation. You're in your twenties but reading books that some people my age (46) might consider super intimidating. You're a gamer like me loving the extremely hardcore and impossible and I take it you like metal too? You keep doing what you're doing brother. There's lots of us here who support you.
@@RexRoss77 @RexRoss77 Thank you, man. And yeah, metal has been my go-to for a long time 🤘
Im halfway through Mystic River, very good so far. Plan to read Corbett book 2 in August.
@@readbykyle3082 I better see frequent Queen of Bedlam updates in discord
Agree with House of Chains, just finished it up and loved it! With every consecutive book, I want to re-read the series more and more already lol. Boy’s Life is now on my list! 🤘🏽
@@bardsandbooks that Tanno Spiritwalker song hits every single time❤️ def get to Boy’s Life asap. Think everyone should read that book, but I *might* be a little bit biased😂
YAY MYSTIC RIVER! I need to read Krueger, sounds like my cup of tea
I think both of yiz would love both Ordinary Grace and The River We Remember
Love all the McCammon and Corbett love. River of Souls is awesome, it's a really cool adventure but it's so short that I recommend reading it and Freedom of the Mask back to back, which is one of the best in the series imo.
Looks like I'll do that then! Super excited to continue but also kinda sad cuz I know I'll be reaching the end soon
Great video Kevin!😉
Wicked video - I gotta try some of these. Oh and thanks for the reminder to get back to Corbett. I’m mood reading as usual lately. Just finished a Murakami, reading Circe now and might pick up ACOTAR if I’m feeling’ cute 😘
You definitely need to get back to Corbett. Slappers all the way through. I have my first Murakami slated for September (Kafka on the Shore) and I'm excited for it. Also ACOTAR 👁(I heard book two is where it gets spicy)
What's the craic, Kev! I really enjoyed Boy's Life, admittedly I lost interest in the murder mystery after a point but the slice of life stuff was great throughout. I need to restart Swan Song one of these days. I look forward to Mystic River. I loved Shutter Island and I trust Yolanda and Carlos' recs.
I would put money on you loving Mystic River. Such an amazing book
BOY’S LIFE!!! Fucking right 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Burping from all those Monsters and/or cheap trash cocktails. I love getting something different every time I reread a book-whether it’s a year later, four years later, ten years later-so that’s usually indicative of a great book. August: Mad Ship by Robin Hobb, Dark Force Rising by Timothy Zahn (if my library hold for the audiobook ever comes through!), Soldiers Live by Glen Cook, and The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera. Maybe Blacktongue Thief if we have time. 👀
@@SheWasOnlyEvie I did have a couple monsters and a couple dranks, so you might be onto something. I forgot about Blacktongue Thief. If you find the time let me know and I’ll squeeze it in 👀
Awesome video Kev. You know I'm on that McCammon kick lately and I think Speaks the Nightbird is on the TBR for Oct. I could reread Swan Song and Boy's Life tomorrow cause they were so good. Which Cormac book did you not like? I'm reading The Road right now and so far it's damn good.
hell yeah, looking forward to your thoughts on Speaks the Nightbird! Think I'm gonna reread Swan Song in September with some friends. The Cormac book I wasn't super high on was No Country For Old Men--thought it was just okay, but may have to reread when I get some more of his books under my belt to see if I was trippin or not.
Yay for Maas!! I hope you continue with Throne of Glass - I think it's her best series so far!
The Greatcoats are FANTASTIC!! And Joe is a wonderful narrator. I'm sad you didn't like Rose Madder. I'll get to Memories of Ice soon, I promise!
Haha the April realisation was funny. Thanks for reading books for Taypril! Great vlog
14:43 BRUUHHH 😂😂😂😂😂
Honestly, playing Elden Ring is a good enough excuse for the lack of Matthew Corbett updates that I can't even be mad.
I literally have like twenty pages left😂 but I’ve also put almost 60 hours into this game in a little over four days so reading has gone by the wayside
HOW DO I KEEP MISSING THIS
You've got me stoked to try out Markley, and also I really need to continue Matthew Corbett. Your Stormlight opinions are lame but that's okay I accept you.
you definitely should read Ohio ASAP. and yeah, continue Matthew Corbett too, cuz I'm 150 pages into Mister Slaughter and it bangs. Also my Stormlight opinions are the only correct opinions 😤
Kinda nervous to start it, I thought Boy's Life was good (kinda overhyped ngl) and I NFNed Swan Song 😅
@@thatsci-firogue thought Boy’s Life was overhyped?😭😭😭 did you even have a childhood???😭😭😭😭😭
Let me know when Carrion Comfort starts, I'll jump in on that.
Tentatively scheduled for October!
I still don't get the hype, Kev. Silverblood promise won't be for me if you say it reminds you of Greatcoats or Lock Lamora 🙈 No swashbuckling for me.
Chadia hates fun 😭😭😭
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the Boy’s Life re-read five months from now. 🤣
one month max
@@kevin.jenkins Sure Jan.
annihilation is one of my fave books and i agree that the movie is great. as a book adaptation it kinda sucks but as a movie by itself its pretty good. have you thought about reading the next books? it was initially a trilogy but VanderMeer recently said he is releasing a fourth one
yeah, I'll definitely read the rest of them. Not sure when cuz I've kinda gone into a moodreading mode, but when it hits me I'll for sure pick them up
@@kevin.jenkins i'm also a mood reader and i only read the entire trilogy when i got in the mood. then i read the three one after the other hahaha. i hope you enjoy them as much as i did (even tho the first book is still my fave)
Forget the booktubers doing "mid-year" freakout tags they filmed in May, give me 5 months of vlogging by Kevin Jenkins.
no one's doin it like me 😤
@@kevin.jenkins 💪
Holy crap its Kev! Always love when people reread AFFC. Curious to see how you'll feel about it on reread. The audiobook narrator for Fevre Dream is Ron Donachie, who plays Rodrik Cassell on Game of Thrones! Pillars of the Earth indeed slaps and those naysayers be naysayin. I watched Mystic River last year and loved it and I really want to read the book, hopefully soon.
Already starting June off strong for me with Boy’s Life (so far)! Yes, I am reading it because of you: I just got an extra push to read it sooner. 🤣
Pillars of the earth is like soap ophera/drama with some really horrific stuff set in the middle ages and I loved it!
Finally back!😛😉🥰
Let’s goooooo Pillars redemption arc
Completely agree with you on House Of Chains. It’s probably in my top 3 or 4 Malazan books. So many badass moments.
Every single page spent with the marines I just eat it up
Hey Kevin! Nice to see ya back on the Tube. Currently on Memories of Ice with Malazan. -Cheers 🍻
