Hi Chantaal New Subbie Over Here Can’t Wait For More Content To Come Soon Definitely Looking Forward To What Books You’ll Might Read In July📚❤️💙

Best books: "A Master of Djinn" - P. Djeli Clark, "The Tainted Cup" - Robert Jackson Bennett Best sequel: "Mirrored Heavens" - Rebecca Roanhorse Biggest surprises: "Witch King" - Martha Wells "Annihilation" - Jeff VanderMeer Dissapointments: "The Vanished Birds" , "The Lies of Locke Lamora" , "The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms" (The Broken Earth being one of my favorite series).

The Spear Cuts through Water has been sitting on my shelves for a few months and it just jumped to the top of my TBR!

It’s so nice to see These Burning Stars getting more love! It’s incredible 🔥

City of Stairs, chef's kiss. That whole trilogy is impeccable.

I remember the Shrike being scarier in the second book. Also, he named the Shrike after a cute little bird who impales its prey on sharp twigs and branches! It's nickname is the Butcherbird!

The ninth rain- in the next two books the lgbt relationships get more page time

Seveneves was pretty good! Terrifying. But he's not so much a character writer as he is an experience and vibe writer. I HATED Snow Crash.

Robert Jackson Bennett is a frickin stealth genius.

Hell yeah, These Burning Stars deserves sooo much more hype! And I need to read The Genesis of Misery, hoping it will work for me :)

I'm inspired by how you track how diversely you're reading, because, exactly how you said, it's not on a granular level. I wanna set up something similar!

You're so right that it's baffling that The Spear Cuts Through Water wasn't nominated for anything. Awards committees were sleeping on it just like everyone else. They must just not have read it!

How funny! I started reading 'The Spear Cuts Through Water' early last year, not having heard much about it, just because I had this feeling I should read it. Then life distracted me and I put it down, but earlier today it popped into my head spontaneously when I was trying to decide on a fantasy to read, and now I've seen your video! The stars are aligning - I must read this immediately!

I can really relate to what you said about not guessing mysteries! I am also totally here to let the story take me along. In middle school I remember reading assigned books and being assigned worksheets that said, "what do you think will happen next?" and I remember always hating that question.

This is the first video I'm finding of yours, excited to watch more! I love small booktube channels because I find so many books I've never heard about before.

Omg Lex from The 100 takes me back lol… I wasn’t a huge Clarke/Lex shipper cause I loved Bellarke but DAMN Lex’s ending was truly awful Spear Cuts Through Water didn’t 100% work for me but it’s so masterfully crafted that I love seeing people gush about it! It’s so underrated and it’s a tragedy it didn’t win all the awards.

60% off!!!!! 🙌🏻

I'm reading Warrior's Apprentice right now! It reallllly bothers me that you can't get a set of matching books, even though I really love old sf mass markets. I just want Baen to reissue the whole series with new covers so they can all match :(((

The ring light and my glasses are mortal enemies. Also, yessssss, I love when book things are my fault! I hope you love it.

Ugh, Ninefox Gambit. I shake my fist at thee!!!!

I really enjoyed Ninefox Gambit but I hated the sequel so I kinda feel like you’re not missing out on much. Glad to hear you’re enjoying Floating Hotel and hope you like the second half too!

You should try Children of Time! That one has been my favorite by Tchaikovsky for sure.

I hope you keep going with the Jenn Lyons series! Books three, four and five are WILD. I didn't start really loving it until book three.

I love Keigo Higashino so much! Also, Malice isn't one, but I'm having so much fun with Japanese puzzle mysteries (honkaku). I've never figured one out, but I live in hope! Somebody mentioned Shimada Soji below, and he writes those! I just read one and had a lot of fun. I enjoyed your rant about pronunciation :)

I’m dying at the thumbnail 😂

Hey Chantaal, good to see this video! I enjoyed it :) Sad to hear about that graphic novel. I can see what you mean about the lack of backgrounds really ruining it. The Jasmine Throne felt really slow for me too. It took me almost a month to read it. I read the second one on audio and enjoyed it a lot more, and I think the format is partially the reason. So maybe you could try on audio? For me I mainly kept going because I loved Suri’s debut series so much so I trusted her, and while I’m glad I continued, I still like her previous series more. I’m not sure if you’ve read it though so idk if that is helpful or not lol

If you enjoyed Malice, you should try The Tokyo Zodiac Murders by Shimada Soji ( if you have not already).
