Another vote for getting a Canadian library card. The local library’s Libby and Hoopla apps probably have most of these if you want ebook/audiobooks. I relisten to Murderbot on Hoopla regularly! Murderbot and Singing Hills Cycle would be quick to get through so super satisfying!
Yeah, I need to make better use of libraries!
@@OverlyAverageBen get digital library ecards as a non-resident. Chicago Public Library and Browrard County Florida work well for US, I have both. And my Canadian one :)
You’re sitting on book one of one of my favorite series, so I have to put my vote in for Temeraire! While it’s a 9 books series, you can definitely view it as having two main arcs with the first one coming to a satisfying stopping point after book 5. Man do I love those books with a passion
Awesome! Definitely excited to get to those!
Yes to Temeraire! I read all nine earlier this year and loved them.
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Book of the New Sun is the best sci fi you’ll ever read and it’s not as difficult as most people say. I’d definitely vote for that!!!
Thank you! Good to hear!
What a fun video and so cool that you moved there! Also 'level of intense mind thinking' is now my new favorite metric for describing books
Malazan books will definitely be continuing! Hoping to finish it by Feb next year
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, obviously. The best fantasy trilogy of the last forty years.
And a secondary vote for Butler's Xenogenesis. With the note that if you've forgotten what it's about, even better, because the protagonist doesn't really know what's going on for the first few chapters, so you get to figure out what's going on with her.
I can't wait to get to both of these! I need to get back to Butler, I want to complete her bibliography
Congratulations on the move!!!!!
These are a lot of series! A lot of them are on my TBR as well. I am very impatiently waiting for my hold of The Adventures of Amina El-Sirafi to come in, so i'm gonna vote for you to read that one next. That way i can vicariously live through you whilst i'm waiting 😞
As an aside: The Singing Hills Cycle currently has 5 books. The fifth one came out in May
Hahaha, so sneaky bringing out a new book so quickly!
Adding my vote for Temeraire as well! I know I've brought it up in past videos too 😊
Absolutely, it seems like Temeraire will definitely be on my horizon now!
Oooh choices!! I obviously want you to read The Mask of Mirrors, and I will just use the excuse that it will make Grace very happy so there's that. Dandelion is my other top pick, I just know in my bones that you will love that series 🤩
Other ones that are favourites of mine and I could see you enjoying are Tide Child, Locked Tomb, Singing Hills (audio is great), Chorus of Dragons, Lady Trent (also great on audio), and Legends of the First Empire for some good ol' epic fantasy that isn't 20000 pages long. And I would actively not recommend Serpent & Dove and Amina... Happy reading ;)))
Thank you very much, Esmay! I was waiting for Dandelion to crop up lol. Locked Tomb could be on the cards this month for a patreon read anyway!
@@OverlyAverageBen ooooh exciting!!! I might just join for a reread
Id vote for Rook & Rose or Chorus of Dragons ! Both absolute bops from beginning to end. The Ryan Cahill books have been fun so far, really need to get to book 2 though but I really liked the Novella.
Ouuu you've just moved Rook and Rose up into a contender spot with that selection!
@@OverlyAverageBen YAS !!
First of all, congrats on the move! No longer being long distance is such an exciting milestone!! 🥳
Best of luck with the immigration process! I have no idea how involved or lengthy it is at home but I'm going through it for US at the minute and it's not been too bad here! 😅
I'm voting for Legends of the First Empire simply because Jake and I just started a series readalong of it on his discord in June so you could easily catch up with us and join in! 🥳 Also, the audiobooks are all narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds & he's a fav for me!
Thank you so much! And ouu, yeah I'm really excited by Legends of the First Empire!
That intro 😂
Under the Northern sky trilogy by Leo Carew! (If you haven't already)
I'll certainly add it to the list!
An overwhelming amount of choices! I’m gonna keep things simple and say kings of the wyld. It’s silly, it’s simple, and made me laugh a lot. The sequel is also decent.
Was not expecting Kings of the Wyld to be mentioned so many times! It's certainly moving up the TBR
@@OverlyAverageBen There’s something about it that’s refreshingly simple. Took me back to being a kid and just enjoying a fun adventure story, it’s not packed with politics or vast sub plots, just a point A to point B journey with some diversions along the way. Fun fun fun. If you after something with more meat on its bones I’d skip it…but if you’re after palette cleanser…it’s a must.
Everand in Canada has the audiobooks for Murderbot if you do want to go that route too. More affordable than buying them for sure! If you really want physical you could always have Grace take you to her local library and see if they have them & borrow them on her card if you don't have Canadian ID yet!
The library is always a good idea! Need to be better at using it!
Dude I was thinking of making this exact video. I’m so stuck. I’m in the middle of so many series (and a few BOOKS that I’m…not struggling with just…taking my time with).
I feel like the Kings of the Wyld series would do better for you after having been in Canada for a while and exploring Toronto - you might catch on to some fun Canadian references that way; Eames definitely wove a few in!
Yes! Grace mentioned some of the Canadian references when she read it.
Read Dagger & Coin!!! I’m on book 2 and it is so good
Reading Mercy of Gods at the moment, so I've got Daniel Abraham on the brain!
I vote for the Suneater series, Tchaikovsky, or His Dark Materials (but the 3rd one isn't great).
Thank you so much!
Welcome to Canada!
Thank you!
I think rook and rose looks longer than it is. Especially when you compare it to the wheel of time or malazan book lengths.
@@LiteratureScienceAlliance sweet! Yeah, sometimes publishers really throw me off with their bindings lol
Silverblood promise!!!
Thank you!
Read the Sprawl by William Gibson, the Godfather of Cyberpunk
Interesting! I had Neuromancer a while ago but left it in England, I'll add it to the Wishlist!
Oh Sprawl is the series name lol, silly me
@@OverlyAverageBen It's all good, Nueromancer is the only one that's marketed.
Also finish Dark Tower lol
It needs to be done eventually!
sorry, can't help. choice paralysis.
seriously, tho. my advice: pick a finished series. be it a trilogy, duology, quartet, etc. kings of the wyld is fun and i'd rec it too, but fair warning it seems to have the same problem as evan winters' series - there's no third book in sight and it's been years.
Kings of the Wyld has been chosen far more than I was expecting! But yeah, I may just read the first book and then wait.
@@OverlyAverageBen whispers: the second one is much better
You always say that you like soft sci-fi. Have you ever read The Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold? They are light, but very compelling...
I wouldn't prioritize Ryan Cahill"s books... But The Sun Eater is awesome!
Don't waste your time with The Court of Thorns and Roses!!!!!!
I have not! But consider them added to my wishlist!
@@OverlyAverageBen You have to get to the place in the series when Miles is born, and then they are unputdownable! Have in mind also that they were written in the 80's, but they are a gem I really don't know why people don't talk about them more...
😂
Should we buddy read Sara J Maas? 😂😂
Could well be a shout lol
@@OverlyAverageBen 🤪
😂😂😂😂 🤐
