The fact that there actually is a Blade of Truth with brownish color and a woman near a sword. 😂 I wonder where he's seen it and how he remembers it in such detail.
@@merphynapierreviews you’re right, I even SAID that when he said that. I was like “there’s a distinction to be made!” And then you said it and I was like “yep.” I’m on your side, Merph.
To try an analogy. It's the difference between someone who is pitching across the plate for the batter to take a swing at the ball and a pitcher who is lobbing the ball into the ground for the batter to get to walk to first.
@@merphynapierreviews Well, you won a single book, and he did better than you did, so it stands to reason he deserves some kind of prize. A watch (at least a good one) seems a bit disproportionate in terms of prize budget, but maybe something worth about 1.5-2 books would be reasonable?
Korey's a photographer, right? The design, pictures, colors, and composition of the shapes are going to mean far more to him than the words, I'd say. The Hobbit guess was hilarious!
So many iconic lines: Is this book I lied on. I lied too sucker. I don’t know. I love dinos so there has to be others. I wanted to humiliate you for not knowing your friend’s book.
For the record: i wasn't watching the screen when Merphy was describing the cover of Tress, and I got it immediately. So you did do a good job at describing it!
"This was the book that awakened my love for the ocean and oceanic books!" Full circle Merphy Booktube Moment here! I read that book after reading The Selection Series (which I picked up after seeing you talk about them when you first began booktube haha) so to see you make that connection now, in 2024 was amazing to see and hear! I'd love to see you do a "This inspired my love of this and this" type video, where like with "The Siren" awakening you love of "The Ocean" in books, you discuss books you read when you first began that got you to where you are now. A Full Circle Moment for The Merphy Napier Booktube Vault there and I loved it! Great video as always! xoxo.
I click so fast when I see you post one of these . Your guys joy is wonderful and its just such a laid back time and way to start my morning . I also like that they arent all the time, just a nice little surprise every now and then and isnt over done
2:11 After doing a web search, I can confirm that 'Blade of Truth' is not only a fantasy novel, but that it indeed has a woman, a sword, and 'swirling brown colours' on the cover. I _would_ cry witchcraft, but I started reading fantasy books in the 2000s (in Australia - our covers can be different) and IIRC back then two out of three covers looked like that (some of the swirling colours were dark green, or crimson, or black; occasionally beige or cloud-grey, and often that meant the _inside_ of the book was even darker) What I'm more impressed with is that the book in question is #12 in a series that apparently started in _2019_ - I've no idea if they're any good, but that is enviably prolific, at least.
Talk about a throwback. The Siren is one I read so long ago when it came out. I remember being a huge Cass fan for a long time (still like her work) but that one disappointed me a bit. But I had just got done with the selection series so it was an odd time. Corey did so well too, and it was cute seeing your shocked/disbelief face Merphy when he was right about the Hobbit.
At the end, when Kory says “I’m really happy because… I did so well.” In my head what he was actually about to say was “because I Crushed you” but thought better of it.
Oh man, all the wife faces and he can't see them. Lucky man. And hobbits are best known for their toes. I should know, one of my wife's nicknames for me is Hobbit Toes. Get that man a watch!
Korey shows up every so often with the purpose of embarrassing his wife and we love to see it
The are husband and wife? I didn't knew it
I'm pretty sure they have adopted atleast 2 children as well, so.....@@devops.tausifalam
@@devops.tausifalam They mention getting married at least 3 times in the video 😅
This is the best Merph thumbnail I’ve ever seen!
“The pages are…white…” 😂😂😂😂 I’m dead
“HHHHHWITE”
“What colour is the rocks”
“They aren’t really anything. They just are”
Couple goals right here😂
The fact that there actually is a Blade of Truth with brownish color and a woman near a sword. 😂 I wonder where he's seen it and how he remembers it in such detail.
“I’m just better at this than you”
“NO! I’m just worse at it”
Merphy, that’s the same thing!!!! 😂
There is a distinct difference!
@@merphynapierreviews you’re right, I even SAID that when he said that. I was like “there’s a distinction to be made!” And then you said it and I was like “yep.”
I’m on your side, Merph.
At some point I wasn't sure if you tried your best at describing the book accurately or vaguely. :D
To try an analogy. It's the difference between someone who is pitching across the plate for the batter to take a swing at the ball and a pitcher who is lobbing the ball into the ground for the batter to get to walk to first.
“I’m so happy for me” while clapping gleefully 😂😂😂
Followed by the deepest "uuurgh"
Merphy as a sore loser is so hilarious lmao.
Did the wrong Napier become a booktuber?
Also Korey definitely won a watch with this performance.
he wins clout and nothing more

Watching you guys try to guess the book feels like watching a psychic trying to prove they're psychic
" You hardly read" By Meprhy standards Korey "hardly reading" probably means he gets to finish at least 20 to 25 books a year...
Man! When she picked "Jurassic Park" did she think there might be the slightest chance he wouldn't get it. Hilarious. 🤣
The thumbnail so unhinged that’s deserves the watch alone. 😂 Merphy who can’t make a difference between gold and yellow. No colors. 😂
Korey's a photographer, right? The design, pictures, colors, and composition of the shapes are going to mean far more to him than the words, I'd say. The Hobbit guess was hilarious!
He was. Probably still is. But I was thinking the same. From 10:44 we can see the photographer taking over 😂
Korey: Eloquently and descriptively paints a perfect picture with words.
Merphy: CAT!!
Seeing merphy frustrated is so funny 😂
12:38 MY CONCERN DOES NOT END UNLESS I KNOW THAT YOU FIXED THE POSITION OF THE SHELF 😩😩😩😩
You guys are so great! Need a guest appearance at least once a quarter
And Korey definitely deserves a watch
These two are just wholesome af 😊
So many iconic lines:
Is this book I lied on.
I lied too sucker.
I don’t know. I love dinos so there has to be others.
I wanted to humiliate you for not knowing your friend’s book.
Merphy:" The ocean calls to her"
Korey: " Frozen?"
😂
"You can't ask me colours and expect a correct answer" 😂
**makes hand motions to someone with eyes closed**
I’m dead 😂
Him crushing it gets him sleeping on the couch for a week. 😂
I suspect a channel name change to Kory Napier - books (previously owned by Merphy who he destroyed)
The fact that every time you lied to him he was just like "Oh okay!" and wasn't bothered at all is the BEST.
Did Corey’s laugh sound like voldemort when he guessed Frankenstein.
Merphey throwing books in anger would be me when I lose too.
For the record: i wasn't watching the screen when Merphy was describing the cover of Tress, and I got it immediately. So you did do a good job at describing it!
That thumbnail has big "DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS!" energy.
This thumbnail 😄😄😄🔥🔥🔥
I love Merphy’s videos and all but, honestly, I see Kory in the thumbnail and it’s an immediate drop everything and click for me.
You know it’s true love when your partner happily yells “NO, SUCKA!” at you. 🤣
GOLD! It was gold.
"I'm just better at this than you."
"No! I'm just worst at it."
My favourite lines.
"never have I ever been a Sarah J. Mass fan" I felt that in my soul and I concur. However I am a Twilight fan LOL!
12:35 - When you removed that book, the shelf abandoned all hope 😂

Korey won the Unkindness of Magicians because he knew it but Merphy won the Tress book because the description was good.
Best thumbnail ever😭
That bookshelf tilting gave me so much anxiety 😂
12:36 the shelf moved
You know this or course, I'm just repeating it
Merphy are you going to make a video on the Percy Jackson show?
When you reached for Fires of Vengeance your bookshelf almost gave me a heart attack
Well Merphy I think Korey deserves a watch. 😂 I can help you with that.
SALMON! "Alice in Wonderland" is SALMON pink!
I love this game.
you guys are so fun!! i crack up every time ya’ll do a video together 😂
This is a happy marriage 😁
Wow that first Blade of Truth cover actually matched your description. I think he earned that point.
I’m just shocked by the book violence 😂
I laughed so hard when he started gaslighting Merph about her description skills 😂
I click so fast when I see you post one of these . Your guys joy is wonderful and its just such a laid back time and way to start my morning . I also like that they arent all the time, just a nice little surprise every now and then and isnt over done

You almost hit Korey with a Frankenstein book xD
"I DONT WANT YOU TO TALK RIGHT NOW." cracked me 🤣🤣
these are hillarious please do more of these, the dynamic between you two is so funny.
Saying Colors to him with a blade was cosmere clever!
Those poor books, they hit the ground 🤣 🤣
This is so much fun!!! I love the thumbnail and everything here. You two look like you're having so much fun together.
These are my favorite videos of yours! So calming and funny. Relationship goals.❤
Korey needs to do a video of his watches.
I feel like you need to give him a time limit and then he has to make his guess!
Omg I love this so much. She looks so happy yet so flustered lol
"did you just get a book you knew I wouldn't get cause you're mad"
"No" 😼
so fun! You two are great on camera together
You two are so fun! I can only imagine what life is like in your home living with your best friend. Your kids are so lucky!
God how much I love to see you two together in a video
"are you stupid" 😂
You guys are SO in love, its amazing to watch... I get myself smiling with all of the teasing to each other. Awesome video
I was just glad that you included your Equine audience with your negative responses!!
The dynamic between you two is so enjoyable to watch :P you guys are adorable
Can't get over the fact how much Korey sounds like Steve Carrell when he gets excited 😆

But I had just got done with the selection series so it was an odd time. Corey did so well too, and it was cute seeing your shocked/disbelief face Merphy when he was right about the Hobbit.
No point for Rage of Dragons! He thought it was a different book!
i cannot, haha. Merphy is too good at describing things, hahaa
Oh man! Poor books! She threw them to the ground!!
This is book abuse, I am confiscating all of your books!!
I hope you get to watch Mushishi someday
I think he's earned a prize of some sort! Those were good guesses!
I just loved this video so much!! You guys are so funny!! Thank you for sharing with us.
You gave him wayyyy to many chances 🤣🤣 he got so many wrong but you kept letting him guess!!
That's so good, can't get over how much his voice sounds like Flynn Rider / Zachary Levi
That thumbnail is very good lmao
"well the second book is more yellow"
Merph, deeply considering violence: "oh"
"the pages are white"
I love Merphy's hints lol
You should do more videos with your hubby, because you so happy 😂. Happy married life 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This thumbnail needs to be in a UA-cam Hall of Fame and I hope it influences all YT thumbnails from now on
I love that Merphy keeps saying “last one” but then Korey keeps getting them right. 😂
The blade of truth isn't a fantasy book but there is the sword of truth series by goodkinf
Please read the sequel to An Unkindness of Magicians!
This was hilarious. You two are great
These are so fun! Please keep them coming.
Since he was insisting blade of truth was a book I looked it up. I found something close called Sword of Truth
I wish I could do something like this with my so right now. :)
Just smiling while watching this video, it's so fun and wholesome!
I don't want to judge a book by it's cover but is Neon Ghosts good? I enjoy sci-fi and that is a cool cover
I love it when corey appears, you guys have amazing chemistry, love to see it
At the end, when Kory says “I’m really happy because… I did so well.” In my head what he was actually about to say was “because I Crushed you” but thought better of it.
I have that The Hobbit edition.
It is beautiful.
Oh man, all the wife faces and he can't see them. Lucky man.
And hobbits are best known for their toes. I should know, one of my wife's nicknames for me is Hobbit Toes.
Get that man a watch!
Best thumbnail ever😂
You two are so funny, I love these videos
Best. Thumbnail. EVER!!!!
I love you two together!! These videos are my favorite ❤
