First of all, congrats on 10K, ending the year on a high note 🔥 I am a firm believer in the idea that your first book of the year will set the tone for the rest of the year, so the pressure is on hahah. Looks like you can't go wrong with any of these picks, that's gonna be an EPIC year. Hope you are having a great Christmas, sending all the love! 🤩

Merry Christmas All!

Congrats on 10k, Jacob should use Everand, all the sun eater audiobooks are on there.

Merry christmas gentlemen and scholars!! Also, you gotta be careful saying the best producer and it's written on bathroom walls - we're all going start proving this right

Merry Christmas! Congrats on 10k as well! In January I hope to be diving into The Hobbit for the first time and finish up book 7 of Dungeon Crawler Carl. I'm chugging along on One Piece currently on Vol. 5, and looking forward to reading more Stephen King this coming year. I will also be reading Cibola Burn in the Expanse series in January. Might have to check out Chain Gang All-Stars sounds like an interesting book!

My January: Peace Talks-JimButcher, A Separate Peace-JohnKnowles, Rise of the Ranger-Phillip Quaintrell, and finishing some books I started this month like The Tainted Cup and The Scales of Balance

Happy 10k and a Merry Christmas, to John and Jakob and their better halves, and to the fantastic Talking Story community. I bought Glorious Exploits in October and will add it to my January TBR. The US cover is nicer than the UK one. I want to commit to 4 books a month in 2025. so, the other 3 for me in January are: Senlin Ascends - Josiah Bancroft (I'm already 100 pages in), Red Rising (re-starting, I will get through it), A Death In The Family - Karl Ove Knausgaard.

Congrats on the 10k subs Guys!!

I’m going to start Empire of Silence audiobook in a few days! I tend to lean more fantasy than sci-fi, but y’all love it so much I have to pick it up!

Sounds like January will be a productive reading month for you guys...or should I say Janny-uary. I hope to have a good month myself when January hits me, though sadly I won't be able to partake in Janny-uary because I have other plans. Perhaps some day we'll have our reading goals aligned. Perhaps another buddy read is in order? Anyway, I won't keep this too long. Have a Merry Christmas guys!

Have a Merry Christmas guys and happy for both of you for hitting 10k! I foresee double that by end of 2025 because y’all are so fun and positive to watch and listen too.

Congratulations on 10k guys! So deserved! Here's to many more :) Merry Christmas and a happy new year :)

Haven't been active on here or in discord the last week or so. I've been so busy with the holidays. But I wanted to make sure to congratulate you guys on 10k! You absolutely deserve it. Thank you for all that you do. As for reading, I finished my last audiobook a bit early and decided to get a head start on Curse of the Mistwraith. I'm 3 hours in and really intrigued to see where it goes. Jannys writing is absolutely beautiful, and I can't wait for the discussion in February. Hope you all have an amazing holiday!

I really like when you all go back and forth and answer questions like in this video.

Jeez this list is STACKED. I’m going to be giving Wars of Light and Shadow a try with you guys this month! Do we know when the first discussion will be?

Merry Christmas! 🎄 Congrats on 10k 😉

Kingdoms of death my favorite of the series and that curse of light and shadow I might get into that one myself your excitement has got me intrigued

Merry Christmas, guys! Looking forward to the great buddy reads next year!

Looks like an awesome month! I really want to hop into Wars of Light and Shadow too. But I kinda want to read To Ride Hell’s Chasm first. It’s sitting on my shelf, waiting. I’ve also noticed there’s a similarity with her series and mine. My first book is tentatively titled The Light That Pierces the Shadows… and there’s a reason for that! lol. But, I’m sure there’s actually plenty of differences!

So excited for the buddy read! I’m in Poland now but I’ll be joining you for the first book club from Ireland 😁 Gonna be so great ✨⭐️🌟 Can’t wait to meet everyone! And of course as I said before, congrats on 1oK!!!

I'm definitely reading Curse of the Mistwraith in Jan, too. I can't wait!

I really am stoked for when the time comes for me to follow along on all the WoLS videos. Hopefully mid year, but that’s an all star cast. Cheers and merry Christmas!

Congrats for your milestone!! To so many more!!

Glad you enjoyed Wind and Truth! I'm juggling several books as usual, but of late I've been absolutely plowing through a book you've read recently: The Last Kingdom, by Bernard Cornwell. Merry Christmas, and may the Tingle be with you!

joining the miswrath read a long !!! ^^

Kingdoms of Death will haunt your soul.

Congratulations on 10k 🎉. I'm still in a bit of a reading slump but hopefully the post Christmas rest will help. Happy Christmas to you and your families.

Happy Christmas Mintons (incl. puppers)! I’m joining in on Jannyuary and also Disquiet Gods.

2025 is gonna be an epic reading year. Conclusion to Sun Eater, conclusion to Empire of a Vampire series new Joe Abercrombie series, new Richard Swan series...and I am gonna try to deep dive (finally) into Malazan. Oh, and don't forget The Tainted Cup sequel too! Gonna be a great year! Merry Christmas!

I'm such a slow reader that I'll still be reading Wind and Truth for most of January. I'm only on page 550 and I've been reading since Dec. 6th!

My wife was wondering why our bathroom wall said "JACOB IS THE BEST PRODUCER ON BOOKTUBE!" 😅

Happy holidays John, Jakob, Ms. Minton and all! Wishing you a fabulous holiday season and a blessed 2025, with lots of great reads! Awesome Jan 2025 TBR! Buckle up for Curse of the Mistwraith - so excited you are beginning your WARS OF LIGHT AND SHADOW journey! What a ride you are in for, and had I known how glorious it would be when I began with that first book of Janny Wurts' iconic series, I would've savoured the trip through that very first book even more! The payoff, when one day you finish SONG OF THE MYSTERIES, when you look back where you began with CURSE, will be worth every page! Have fun, and all the best! Looking forward to hearing more about your own book's release in the upcoming year!!

Merry Christmas guys. Looking forward to your enthusiastic reviews of 2025 😊

Sounds like a good list. I’m wanting to read War of Light and Shadow with you, Realm of the Elderlings, Wheel of Time, Cosmere, and Malazan. It’s a bit overzealous.😂

Merry 🎄 Christmas. Now I have to pick up DDC and Chain Gang! I first heard about those books about 6 months ago from Smitty1423 channel. You would love him. He talks about shedding thug tears (cracks me up) . Much love to you all ❤

Merry Christmas, John and Jacob. Kingdoms of Death is an emotional rollercoaster

Merry Christmas John and Jakob and congrats on 10K subscribers!

Happy holidays!!! All I know it Thank Goodness my slump has ended….so excited for this buddy read!! Can’t wait for your thoughts on Kingdoms of Death ☠️ 🎄🤶🏻❄️✨

Oh man, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Kingdoms of Death

New subscriber here. Congrats on 10K!!!

Merry Christmas y’all!

My Janny-uary also includes some “Mistwraith.” Gardens of the Moon, The Fall, and The Way of Edan also make an appearance in my stack.

Merry Christmas to the Mitton family. I wanted to have a package out to you before Christmas, but there has been a delay in the manufacturing of your gifts. Maybe I'll slip you a plain old letter here in a few days.

That is a stacked tbr there John. Props to you for getting through all of that in one month. I picked up a very nice hardcover copy of Curse of the Mistwraith, but as I've said before, I've resigned myself to probably not being able to tag along with the giant buddy read. Though maybe next summer, after the semester, I'll try and read it and be able to really absorb the story. I love looking at the cover and the map in there 🤣. January for me looks like the rest of the Faithful and The Fallen series from John Gwynne and Empire of Silence. Very excited to start my Sun Eater journey! Have a wonderful holiday with the whole family! You guys deserve it!

Also merry Christmas!!! Blessings to you and your family!

I’m finishing Lonesome Dove. I’m going to try to read Curse of the Mistwraith with you guys. It’s on my shelf and calling my name. Lol

Did you reach out to Tori Morrow? She's an awesome booktuber and has read to Ride Hell's Chasm and is going to be starting Curse of the Mistwraith soon

Soooo some community help needed! I have the curse of the mistwraith on audible. But none of its sequels are on audible until book 10… Does anyone have an explanation or solution?

Hello gentlemen! I've been a quiet subscriber for a while, love the content and congrats on 10k! To Jakob, if you go to your local library and get a card , you can download libby and hoopla and put your library card in, and you will have access to all of their e books, audiobooks, movies, etc. It is such an awesome thing. My library has all of the sun eater series, and I live in a small town lol. So give it a shot if you can. Free books and you are supporting your local library. So it's a win win. Happy Holidays to you both and your family!

Merry Christmas, J&J and Family! I'm so glad I've stumbled upon your channel. :) Still looking forward to when you both might wear the Book Dragon shirts. ;) Wishing you and your family a very prosperous, HEALTHY new year! :)
