    I don’t know why I waited so long to subscribe to your channel because I’m always recommend it. When I went to watch the movie Dune, I was talking about you and your channel with someone while we were waiting on line to buy pop corn. The guy just subscribed to your channel at that moment ☺️But today was the day🤗I also officially in the The Broken Biding subscription waiting list 👌What I like about your channel besides the great book recommendations and book reviews, is how respectful, positive person you are, always supporting new authors and other UA-camrs♥️👌👏👏👏👏

    I've been wanting to start the Drizzt series for a long, long time. The only books I've read of RA Salvatore are his SW novels. I don't hear much about him on booktube, so I appreciate you bringing him up every once in a while. It reminds me that I'm neglecting this aspect of my TBR!

    I finally started Swan Song! I've read along with Mike and his community on most of the reads but unfortunately missed out on this one. This is the most excited I've been for a book in awhile. Scored vanished birds on Libby and I ordered Silverblood Promise from Broken Binding so I'm pretty stoked about that. I'm a Broken Binding subscriber because Mike put me on to them and boy it is sooooo worth it. I was on the waitlist for over 6 months but time flies so get your name on that list!

    I finally made it onto the Broken Binding sub and The Lies of Locke Lamora just arrived today as my first sub book. It is so beautiful. Never Die and A Time of Dragons also arrived today. Took a bit longer since they had to solve their issues with sending to the EU first. I have ordered The Silverblood Promise from them as well and will likely read it very soon after it gets here.

    Hey Mike. Those books look incredible. I also wanted to let you know, that I have just started listening to the audiobook version of Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. So far, I am intrigued. I want to know what is going on. I'm sorry that I am so late to the party. I hope that you will not mind if I send you updates and a review later. I'm also working on another Star Wars book too. That's going to be either Star Wars Shadow of the Sith by Adam Christopher or Master and Apprentice by Claudia Gray, or Star Wars Tarkin by James Luceno.

    @paradigmshift7907 9 місяців тому

    I honestly love not having a set TBR. I've found that reading on impulse allows me to read things while im currently interested in them and affects my overall enjoyment of them. There have been plenty of times when I've come to a book on my TBR that I wanted to read but wasnt in the right mood. I stopped setting my TBR last year and havent looked back.
    Of course I still have like 1 book I'll read for a specific month; like I'm planning on reading The Terror this December, and Something Wicked This Way Comes in October. But the days of having like 4 or 5 books locked in for a month are done.
    PS: I also think publication order is the way to read! unless its the EU!

    Mike, important announcement! 📣 They brought back the Trapper Keeper about 3 years ago and I picked up where I left off some odd 40 years ago? Best to be found at Walmart during ‘Back to School’ time. I have been there trying to decide which one to get, some kid comes up his parents and asks them what a Trapper Keeper is and my heart hurts a little bit. Of course I launched into the history of the Trapper Keeper, how awesome they are and the kid looked at his parents like, get me away from the crazy lady? 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😂 Then my 85 year old mother comes up, actually rolls her eyes 🙄, says, oh no, you don’t need another Trapper Keeper! I whine, but Mama, it is a new school year!! She says, you aren’t even in school! I say, I can pretend and actually pouted until she said yes. The kid and his parents looked at us like we were from another planet. I tell the kid, sometimes begging works. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😂 👍🏻

I am in your camp when it comes to separating art from artist but Larry's ramblings on social media and in interviews are offense at best and down right harmful at worst. I'd urge you to drop this series, and this is by and large the only time I'd say it about any author (including another extremely high profile author who is often in hot water about their opinions)
