I’m happy to hear you’re quite the Legend fan! Which movie soundtrack do you prefer?😂

Weird, here in Ireland U2 and especially Bono aren't well-liked.

Have you read Alien from Earth by Sobers Rodrigues. Its very original story in sci-fi.

No offence John, but I'm not gonna bother trying to put your mind at ease with Malazan anymore. Sink or swim my dude 🤣

Wemby shirt 🤘. Go Spurs Go

What a fun interview 😂 I really enjoyed this one a lot. Thanks for taking the time to chat everyone! I feel like Dee After Dark could become a recurring skit….Also watching Jos and Jakob losing it while you two were trying to carry on a conversation was pure entertainment.

I loved this book. But how to describe it? I don't think it is exactly a light read especially for those who don't want to take the time to understand Piranesi and his meticulous journaling. It's absolutely beautiful and so atmospheric.

Hey John if you decide to have another British booktuber on Talking with Tubers, may I suggest Gareth@ Books, Songs, and other Magic. He is truly your brother from another mother. Check out his videos. There are so many corners of booktubers out there and everyone is in their own little bubble. Besides Gareth, there is Cliff’s Dark Gems, Dave @ BookBlather and Michael K Vaughn!! I would love to see you and Lezlie Smith @ the Nerdy Narrative chat about your love for cosmic horror. Also Shauna Lawless is promoting her paperback for The Words of Kings & Prophets and her novella Dreams of Sorrow. She is asking her newsletter subs to spread the word. You should reach out to her and get her on Artist’s Journey. Her new book, The Land of the Living and the Dead is out in September. She should be read by everyone who loves historical fantasy.

Thank you both so so much for having us guys you’re amazing ❤😊

Was an absolute honour to be on the live with you guys thank you very much

Great show as always!

You cannot imagine how much I look forward to all of the videos you put up on your channel. They're pure gold to me ☺ I'm currently reading my way through all of Brandon Sanderson and recently bought Empire of Silence. Can't wait to start that series. I bought it only because of you high praising it! I hope you'll have a nice week with a lot of great books! Best wishes from Germany!

I loved this. I've only recently got into Stephen King and read 3 of his novels (misery, the shining and the institute) that were all brilliant! I'm hoping to read the stand next because the plot interests me so much and I feel that it would become one of my favourite books.

No tie ... but if you do have a tie Jakob gets the nerf gun out again ☺

I met RJB at Phoenix Fan Fusion and he signed my copy. Really excited to start it! Also, I’ll allow a tie if you wear one 😂

Looking forward to reading this author’s works! I always hear such great things but I haven’t gotten around to picking up one of his books yet.

This was some quality pool-vaccuming entertainment! Nothing beats catching up with the good folks on Talking Story while doing chores

Haha im with Jakob! No tie! 🔱🔥🔥 I was planning on tainted cup around the second week of the month! I'm in the middle of darkness and light right now! I'm slackin 😂

Is that the “daily dose of” dude

It’s crazy how 1200 pages of Sanderson feels like 600 pages of many other authors. He doesn’t really have fluff in his books, it’s like 1200 pages of actual story.

Read Octavia Butler's Parable duology.

Jakob has to learn to live with the sound effects, that's how Gen Xers roll. He only wants to mute the sound effects because you pushed him down the stairs. And I love how none of the books on my tbr for the year are on there, I'm starting to think you don't want me in the reading groups...wouldn't surprise me, I am oppinionated. Think you need a romantasy on there just for shits and giggles. I think you should experience the pain that is SJM. It's more tolerable than fifty shades, kindof, I may be lying. Fifty shades is on my deserves to be burned for being an atrocity pile. I threw book 2 across my living room on page 1. I question women's intelligence levels if they like it. Don't believe I've ever met a man who liked it, so they're safe on that one.

No ties!!! I will be bringing my pitchfork on Thursday just in case!!! 🤨😂

🤣 this is worse than those "something coming soon..." tweets that authors do 🤭🤪🤣

There's something about "skidoosh" that sounds like a sneeze 😁

Y’all are too funny

If skidoosh is silenced, I will mutiny.

Just finished Hyperion yesterday and I already want to re-read it. What a masterpiece

I usually don't get to it until Monday morning, but weekly reader is a must watch for me. It's the first video I watch to avoid work on Monday :)

I like skidoosh too, best one so far 😂

Wow - The Sparrow made your top 10! It is a fantastic book but oh my it was difficult to read after a certain point (you know). I read my first Vonnegut last year (Cat's Cradle) after years of avoiding/assuming I wouldn't like him only to find that I loved it and can't wait to read more.

So glad you are loving The Tainted Cup, I hope it stuck the landing for you!! And I am sooo eager to hear your thoughts on The Vanished Birds, I have a feeling it will hit really well for you if you trust the process ;))) And no, you don't get to do a tie! Happy reading!

Hey John! It's Andrew Downing. I'm one step closer to joining you on BookTube! I decided to create an account and my hope is to have my first upload this month! You are an inspiration!

I will not buy more books. I will not buy more books. Oops buys The Tainted Cup. I have The Vanished Birds in the queue to read soon. Have read Dark Matter and Recursion and enjoyed both. Watched first episode of Dark Matter and wondered why it was so faithful to the book. Had no idea that Blake Crouch wrote the show and is showrunner. Wish more shows would do that.

Tainted Cup was fantastic! I read it so fast (10 days when it usually takes me 3-4 weeks to read a book!). This was my next town hall but I guess I'll need to record a new one.

I now know what “didactic” means. Will I ever use it? Probably not 😅

Omg you have a pug?!?! 🥹🥹 pugs are one of my favorite things on the planet, I hope I can have one myself someday! Please bring him on the channel more 🙏❤️

Jakob wow Bobby Vinton reminded me of my dad belting out those kind of songs in our station wagon. Check out Englebert Humperdinck, Johnny Mathis and of course Lou Rawls!!

It's those disappointing reads that make the great ones so great....right? LOL I started watching Fallout....it's so weird and I love it.

👍🏻 big Fonzie Aaaaaaaaaaaa. Anymore frosty and you’d be a snowman ⛄️😂 Great to hear your reviews for the week again. ❤

John, Jakob, I can't tell you how glad I am that you drifted into my awareness. You bring a beautiful family dynamic and it's incredibly charming to listen to. I may even pick up The Tainted Cup - based SOLELY on the Charlize Theron thoughts. I'm old school though. Ties only apply in a league situation.

Ties are allowed but only if bow ties are worn - the beautiful (and classy) puppy needs one too 😂

We won’t stand for any silly ties.

🕯Long Live The Quilluminati 🕯I wish I could join in on any of the reads this month but Im currently reading through Deadhouse Gates and I'm hoping I can get Janny Wurts' To Ride Hell's Chasm physically by the end of it or otherwise Ill have to read The Pillars of The Earth and leave To Ride Hell's Chasm for after I'm done with Memories of Ice because I'll probably get it by then. Anyhow, I'm really getting into Deadhouse Gates now, I already enjoyed Erikson style in the previous book and it seems like he has refined it here and I'm really excited to continue reading it. Hopefully, I might be able to join a read with you next month! Also I'm for no ties because I want to see your suffering as you struggle to pick a number 1🥰

Ok lemme call Charlize real quick 😂

Weekly Reader time is the best time of the week. I think a tie for book of the month should be allowed. It would be cruel, if you have to choose between two amazing reads :D Just got my copy of Empire of the Damned this week an I am eating it up! Such an amazing book. The world is still amazing and Jay Kristoff is such a compelling writer

Hey John love the video as always, and also wanted to say I watched Independence Day with my son and you look a lot like Bill Pullman.

I don't think you need to worry about liking The Vanished Birds. From what I've seen of your taste since I subscribed, it's right up your alley. Nice to see you're digging RJB, once his book works for you it REALLY works. Fun video as always!

I’ve got the beers John I’m on my way 😉 You flatter me thank you 😊 I’m excited for the Tainted cup hearing what you said Bobby V is good stuff Jakob. Van Halen are epic soft rock though I’m with dad on that one! Can’t wait to talk to you guys 😁
