I know what you’re going through. My current medication doesn’t make me drowsy, but it does give me some funny dreams. Waking up after dreaming about being driven across a river in a Willis Jeep by an orangutan whilst being sworn at by enraged fisherman whose catch has just been scared off is interesting to say the least.
I'm glad you got my book. I was worried it got lost in the mail. Hope you enjoy reading Well of Bones but I must have missed the voting thing. How's that going down?
Write "not a bomb" on your package, don't get your package checked. Send package from a European country, get all the checks because there's no way that's not a bomb.
@@Grimscribe732 That's such a stereotype, though. Most people who get high in the Netherlands are actually foreigners. So technically, it's everyone else who are the stoners.
@@Grimscribe732 mmh yeah I'm seconding the other person on here LOL. Not even all European countries have OK-ed those drugs :') e.g. UK = not legal... :') but funny though!
yeah i'm starting to think his reminding me to take my meds was fine and dandy and all, but maybe a little less than.... helpful. atm. hooo boy my anxiety about this situation is through the ROOF right now. O_O
6:25 DANIEL! DIDN'T ANYONE EVER TELL YOU NOT TO JUMP WITH KNIVES POINTING AT YOUR FACE!? This is possibly the most terrifying UA-cam video I've ever experienced....
O MY GOD I'M SO SORRY I asked my mom to send it bc it was at her place and I think she went a little overboard with the packaging, seeing as it had to go on a plane and stuff 😂Anywho I'm glad it arrived safely (although perhaps a bit TOO safely 😂 ) and I hope you (or any young person you might pass it on to) enjoys the book!
Daniel doing a really heartfelt plea for getting help with anxiety, then continuing on with a big knife as a microphone... Ok, I think I'll need those meds now... And I don't have an anxiety disorder...
Yeah, every time someone says "oh my God" I have a need to add "they killed Kenny". It's nice to think that sometime in future we'll be confusing people (or now, if they're muggles :P)
Seriously if anything he should've put on a mask and some eye protection. I'm not sure how good the post office is at picking up chemical agents/irritants
You rock for talking about your anxiety like that. I've been on antidepressants for close to 20 years. I stopped taking it last year when my son was born, the meds made me a zombie and I didn't wanna miss out on all them dad feels.
Skulduggery pleasant is my favourite urban fantasy series ever. Its so full of wit and charm, even the dedications have a lot of comedy in them. I think you would enjoy this series since it only ramps up in quality, there isn't a book like blood rites that would break your interest in the series.
I'm 3 minutes in. My anxiety has me internally screaming. "KNIFE POINT DOWN DANIEL! KNIFE. POINT. DOWN." 3:00 "OKAY DANIEL TIME TO JUST PUT THE KNIFE DOWN. JUST PUT THE WHOLE THING DOWN"
This might be my favorite book unboxing video ever. 😂 I will forever hold the imagine in my head of Daniel aggressively tapping his giant knife onto the cover of "Never Ending Story" to make a point. 5/5 star content right there
The books by Andrew Rowe are some of the best I've read in the last few years. Would love to see you review them just so a larger audience can find out just how good they are.
I wholeheartedly agree. I bought the second one before in was even half through the first. I hope Daniel finds them as enjoyable as I did. I also can't wait for more.
YESSSS PLEASE READ EMPIRE OF SILENCE. The first book is kinda hard to get through, but the second one (The Howling Dark) made up for it 1000%, it was everything I wanted in a sci-fi book!
As someone who also takes medication for anxiety and depression (also ssnri) I really appreciate you talking about it, it's never easy to be honest about your struggle!
Was on meds for anxiety for about a year until therapy helped me off them. They are a mixed bag but if they're helping that's what matters. Keep your chin up Daniel, you rock.
I've had therapy, which was great and really helped me get better mentally, but starting on my SSRI a few months ago was the thing that really allows me to feel so much better and capable of doing things. Glad your meds are working for you so far.
My husband (who hasn’t read anything fun in a long time, because he’s so freaking busy) listened to and enjoyed The Three-Body Problem and the sequels. I haven’t braved it yet. My TBR is enormous after discovering booktube.
Thanks for taking about anxiety and medication! I've been on meds for a little over a year for my anxiety. They've helped so much, but unfortunately I am ALWAYS. TIRED.
I'm glad to hear SSRIs are helping. I was on them for 15 years and only recently stopped because i feel like I didnt need them anymore. They really do make a huge difference and I love to hear people talk positively about them because they can really make some peoples lives so much better.
Man do I enjoy these videos! It's so nice to just see you go wild on your own tangent once in a while instead of the more organized reviews and stuff. With that said, might we have more whacks and drops?
you waving this damn knife around has made me the most anxious i’ve ever been in my entire life and this is coming from someone who gets anxiety calling pizza hut to order pizza
The Arcane Ascension series by Andrew Rowe is great. I would suggest holding off on reading them as a third book is expected mid 2020 according to his website and the first two definitely left me wanting more.
I have anxiety but haven't gotten it diagnosed professionally. It's a struggle when it hits. I appreciate your honesty about having it and needing help to manage it.
Thanks for taking about taking new meds for your mental health issues. It means a lot as someone who is on similar medication and struggles with it. It is good to get the info out there that, medication is okay and no one should be ashamed to take it. Been watching since the early WoT video days and you have continued to be amazing . Keep being awesome!
Yes, I started therapy a week ago, evrn if you feel fine, I'd deffo recommend having therapy. If you feel down, don't think it's all up to you, you are never alone.
Watching this video Where in the opening explains how he is on a New anxiety medication and proceeds to put his mic on a knife I love it also I finally finished wheel of time working on my 2nd read through now
I love that so many people reread the WoT. I've read the series a couple time and now just open up parts that I wanna reread again randomly. Like Dumai's Wells for example.
I had started Three-Body Problem on an audiobook from the library last year and it returned before I was finished. Sadly I never got back to it! Thanks for the reminder of this series - I definitely need to return to these books! 🌑🛕 (but please be careful with that knife!)
I started SSRI medication about 2 weeks ago because I had such bad insomnia that I was sleeping 2 hours per day max and a couple of days per week I wasn’t sleeping at all. They made very drowsy and for about a week I wasn’t able to do anything so I know what you’re going through with your medication change. I’m so glad you’re getting help and hopefully you’re gonna feel a lot better after the side effects wear off. Sending you loads of love and well wishes
Glad you're getting the help you need, and arent uncomfortable sharing it with everyone 😊 if we all open up more about our struggles it will help destigmatize mental health problems
I love how you told the fantasy people to make their art crazy. Usually, I'm not one to like crazy, crazy covers, but honestly, I wish they were a bit more creative with how they made the covers because they all look way too cliche ( not saying I don't like them, though) I hope they take this into the mind and make crazy covers with dragons, swirls, and magic because I'm really bored with the same old model in a dress looking towards the camera kinda thing.
Enjoy my terror then relief you monsters!
Take care man, been taking new medication as well. Drowsiness and laziness aside, it is helping me feel better.
I know what you’re going through. My current medication doesn’t make me drowsy, but it does give me some funny dreams. Waking up after dreaming about being driven across a river in a Willis Jeep by an orangutan whilst being sworn at by enraged fisherman whose catch has just been scared off is interesting to say the least.
isn't it dispossessed? I am confused ?
I am glad you like my books. -Ernest.
I'm glad you got my book. I was worried it got lost in the mail. Hope you enjoy reading Well of Bones but I must have missed the voting thing. How's that going down?
Daniel: recommends people with Anxiety to get help
also Daniel: waves around sharp knife while yelling at inanimate objects
Noneofyour Business yes, I was just focusing on the knife 😂
I was worried for him! Also Pips if he dropped it 😱
hey, he said get help for anxiety/depression...not Saidin madness
He was so high in the antianxiety pills xD
😣😖🙀🔪🔪🔪Aaaaaaaah! That knife was totally giving me anxiety!
"im taking meds for anxiety and felling great" then proceds to shout at books shaking a knife 🤣
I definitely had a lot of anxiety watching you hold a sharp knife close to your face this entire video.
Damn, Daniel Greene looks like a bookworm killer here. Oh geez.
@@deanryanmartin He actually touched his face with it at one point.
Write "not a bomb" on your package, don't get your package checked. Send package from a European country, get all the checks because there's no way that's not a bomb.
Eh, I guess they most likely checked for weed or mushrooms ^^
@@Grimscribe732 That's such a stereotype, though. Most people who get high in the Netherlands are actually foreigners. So technically, it's everyone else who are the stoners.
@@Grimscribe732 mmh yeah I'm seconding the other person on here LOL. Not even all European countries have OK-ed those drugs :') e.g. UK = not legal... :') but funny though!
My heirloom seeds sat in customs for two months just going from America to Mexico 😔
Loooooooool
I was watching this on my laptop and I had to explain to my family why I was watching a guy waving a knife around some books
😁😁😁
Daniel brandishing a knife and yelling at Pips after discussing his recent anxiety med change.
We trust you.,..for now.
(Pips...find your act right!)
I haven't watched a ton of these videos, but I'm rather curious... Who's Pips?
Pips is his cat. A fine, handsome, full figured feline with quite the personality.
Oh boy Daniel is high and waving a knife around. This should be interesting.
yeah i'm starting to think his reminding me to take my meds was fine and dandy and all, but maybe a little less than.... helpful. atm.
hooo boy my anxiety about this situation is through the ROOF right now. O_O
Must be a refreshing change from paper cuts.
😹
Oh my word I thought the knife was fake
Talks about anxiety... Waves knife inches from face. 😳
Future mic stand ideas; Sword, Grenade, bottle of anthrax?.... just trying to help.
J Warburton is it awful that I want to see someone send a dummy grenade?
matthew tate absolutely 😂
A bowl of ramen... AND A GUN!
ua-cam.com/video/t4EomdfiBps/v-deo.html
Clip it on the the hilt shard of Narsil and open your mail with that. Can't get any more Epic.
The grenade will probably come in the mail
40% judging covers
50% screaming at Pips
10% talking about books!
Daniel: “here’s an idea to make you less anxious”
Also Daniel : *pats his torso with a kitchen knife.* You aren’t helping, man. 😳😳😳
Person with anxiety challenges his viewers with anxiety by putting a mic on a knife and swing it around.
And people say this channel is about books.
HEY! He also ranted about covers
No one :
Literally no one :
Pips : does pull-ups on the camera stand
I'm new, but from the window comment, I'm guessing Pips is a cat?
@@rebeccamccreary8530 yes, named after the main character from Wheel of Time 😝
6:25 DANIEL! DIDN'T ANYONE EVER TELL YOU NOT TO JUMP WITH KNIVES POINTING AT YOUR FACE!? This is possibly the most terrifying UA-cam video I've ever experienced....
Daniel yelling ‘guy with sword’ while waving around a knife is a MOOD
Why would you record a video in the middle of pips' workout routine?
O MY GOD I'M SO SORRY I asked my mom to send it bc it was at her place and I think she went a little overboard with the packaging, seeing as it had to go on a plane and stuff 😂Anywho I'm glad it arrived safely (although perhaps a bit TOO safely 😂 ) and I hope you (or any young person you might pass it on to) enjoys the book!
Daniel doing a really heartfelt plea for getting help with anxiety, then continuing on with a big knife as a microphone... Ok, I think I'll need those meds now... And I don't have an anxiety disorder...
I am really glad I am not the only one who gets into domestic disputes with appliances.
Daniel freaking out over a beeping dish washer that we don't even hear. Priceless 🤣
Every time you say 'no note', I mentally add 'car gone!' because apparently the chamber of secrets movie has conditioned me to do so
ReadBySharon I do not know you, but we are thought twins in this moment. XOXO
🤣🤣 yes!! I will now do this too
Thank you for validating me. 😂
Yeah, every time someone says "oh my God" I have a need to add "they killed Kenny". It's nice to think that sometime in future we'll be confusing people (or now, if they're muggles :P)
Hahahah same
“Is Mickey gonna break some knees? Haha!”
😂
Guy with „sword“: dont put guy with sword on your cover...
Daniel: is afraid so puts on protective gear.
Everywhere but his face 🤦♀️
Seriously if anything he should've put on a mask and some eye protection. I'm not sure how good the post office is at picking up chemical agents/irritants
Now am inspired to make a best selling fantasy novel with the main character named Greene Daniel, who is on the cover as generic man with sword.
I screamed with joy seeing Skulduggery Pleasant! A quintessential childhood/teenhood read over here in Ireland 🤣
"Looks like quite a quick read"
*the next eleven books laughing in the distance*
that knife is giving me anxiety... it's like an accident waiting to happen
I thought it was just me 🤣🤣
The absolute chaotic energy of the mic on the knife gave me the most surreal feeling I’ve ever experienced on youtube.
Laughing so hard watching you wave that knife around at the books - I APPRECIATE YOU!!
The knife makes me feel like I’m being held hostage.
1:55 - LOL, that's The Dispossessed, not the Deposed. Great novel that (IMO) ran out of gas toward the end.
I was about to comment the same. It is an amazing novel
Great book. One of the few I've read more than once.
Daniel: "And I love me some thicc boyz"
...so you're telling me there's a chance?
I'd say more like one out of a million
Skulduggery Pleasant is my CHILDHOOD. Such a good series. The first 9 books anyway.
You rock for talking about your anxiety like that. I've been on antidepressants for close to 20 years. I stopped taking it last year when my son was born, the meds made me a zombie and I didn't wanna miss out on all them dad feels.

0:35 Love you, Daniel.
The knife makes me scared 😭😭😭🤣
Daniel: This book is sticky.
Also Daniel: (keeps touching it)
I'm 3 minutes in. My anxiety has me internally screaming. "KNIFE POINT DOWN DANIEL! KNIFE. POINT. DOWN."
3:00 "OKAY DANIEL TIME TO JUST PUT THE KNIFE DOWN. JUST PUT THE WHOLE THING DOWN"
The Dispossessed is on of my favourite Sci-Fi books.
Oh Skulduggery is fun!
And I love getting to see so many new books that aren't floating around (the rest of booktube) as much!
I can’t stop laughing at you waving the knife around!😂😂
Ohhh I love Priest of Bones!
This might be my favorite book unboxing video ever. 😂 I will forever hold the imagine in my head of Daniel aggressively tapping his giant knife onto the cover of "Never Ending Story" to make a point.
5/5 star content right there
I've been off work since November for depression and anxiety. I can relate
The books by Andrew Rowe are some of the best I've read in the last few years. Would love to see you review them just so a larger audience can find out just how good they are.
I wholeheartedly agree. I bought the second one before in was even half through the first. I hope Daniel finds them as enjoyable as I did. I also can't wait for more.
I third this comment. This is also an entryway to get Daniel into LitRPG/Gamelit which I am all about!
I was surprised he hadn't reviewed arcane ascension yet. One of my favorites outside of Sanderson
Well.... Your comment convinced me to get the first book, so... at least there's that?
YESSSS PLEASE READ EMPIRE OF SILENCE. The first book is kinda hard to get through, but the second one (The Howling Dark) made up for it 1000%, it was everything I wanted in a sci-fi book!
As someone who also takes medication for anxiety and depression (also ssnri) I really appreciate you talking about it, it's never easy to be honest about your struggle!
daniel: i hate fantasy cover that are just man with sword. also daniel: I LOVE THAT SCIFI COVER OF A MAN WITH SWORD!
Spending this entire video terrified that Daniel will hurt himself on the knife
Was on meds for anxiety for about a year until therapy helped me off them. They are a mixed bag but if they're helping that's what matters. Keep your chin up Daniel, you rock.
Skulduggery Pleasant is one of my favourite series ever! Very witty and the magic system is very fun and varied!
Skulduggery pleasant has the best humor I found in a fantasy book! Amazing light read
I’m glad you ranted on the fantasy genre covers not standing out! True! 👏 👏
I've had therapy, which was great and really helped me get better mentally, but starting on my SSRI a few months ago was the thing that really allows me to feel so much better and capable of doing things. Glad your meds are working for you so far.
Empire of Silence and Howling Dark are freaking PHENOMENAL.
Seconded.
My husband (who hasn’t read anything fun in a long time, because he’s so freaking busy) listened to and enjoyed The Three-Body Problem and the sequels. I haven’t braved it yet. My TBR is enormous after discovering booktube.
Thanks for taking about anxiety and medication! I've been on meds for a little over a year for my anxiety. They've helped so much, but unfortunately I am ALWAYS. TIRED.
Skulduggery saga is great! I used to read them lots of times when I was a teenager
Omg, I laughed my a** off. Love these videos, you made my day! Have a great one.
Knife, books and the kitchen. I never knew this is what I needed in a video.
Thanks for the opening message. Mine have been going haywire latley.
Daniel: Skulduggery Pleasant looks like a quick read
Me: *Laughs in 14 books with more on the way*
The Tomorrow File! That got my attention. I read that book in 1977 or so. Loved it. Read it again years later! Enjoy!
You are terrifying the books with this knife!
I'm glad to hear SSRIs are helping. I was on them for 15 years and only recently stopped because i feel like I didnt need them anymore. They really do make a huge difference and I love to hear people talk positively about them because they can really make some peoples lives so much better.
I was going to say that maaaaybe the knife was a bad idea, but you're self aware and that's good. Great video, you got a great haul.
Man do I enjoy these videos! It's so nice to just see you go wild on your own tangent once in a while instead of the more organized reviews and stuff. With that said, might we have more whacks and drops?
Suffiecently Advanced Magic is a GREAT read. I enjoyed both of those books so much.
these videos have a slightly passive aggressive energy and i'm into it
The Cixin Liu three body series is outstanding. I hadn’t read any SF for a long time, and three body reinvigorated my interest in the genre.
you waving this damn knife around has made me the most anxious i’ve ever been in my entire life and this is coming from someone who gets anxiety calling pizza hut to order pizza
The Arcane Ascension series by Andrew Rowe is great. I would suggest holding off on reading them as a third book is expected mid 2020 according to his website and the first two definitely left me wanting more.
Glad you're reading the expanse, one of my favorite sci-fi series. The audiobooks are phenomenal as well, excited to hear what you think.
When you wanna write a book so your favorite book tuber can review it but can’t write 🤦🏻♀️🙃 gotta think of a book to send now 😆
There's a book I'd like to send you, but I'm kind of broke right now. I'll send it once that changes.
Love, from India.
"The Deposed" lmao he just skipped half the letters in that word
p.s. love that book
Ahhh I vote for Daniel to read Snow Crash ASAP and cheers to the awesome dude who sent it to him!!
I have anxiety but haven't gotten it diagnosed professionally. It's a struggle when it hits. I appreciate your honesty about having it and needing help to manage it.
THE DIsPOssesSED 😂
OOh The Terror, i read that last October. It was a great story, especially the ending, but it was such a dreary story as well.
O damn... Giving you a virtual hug for taking antidepressants. I am on zoloft and it keeps me from falling apart.
Thanks for taking about taking new meds for your mental health issues.
It means a lot as someone who is on similar medication and struggles with it.

4:13 DANIEL BE CAREFUL. This video gave me so much anxiety while watching, due to Daniel's knife waving.
“We’ll figure it out as we go! And that’s the beauty of the world we live in” feel like you should sell a T-shirt with what you said 👍
Daniel keeps slapping the behinds of books.
He must be stopped, FBI open up!
Also, I very much enjoyed your question to Brandon Sanderson on his last live stream... I love star trek, well done sir!
Oh! I have been looking at Ruocchio’s book at the bookstore - I also was into robot sword dude haha
Glad you're getting the help you need, and arent uncomfortable sharing it with everyone 😊 if we all open up more about our struggles it will help destigmatize mental health problems
I was much less anxious about the dangerous package opening bit than I was at the knife weilding part
I love skulduggery Pleasant! I hope you'll enjoy this as well
So like I've changed mental health drugs once and dosage twice, and honestly this is my summary of the first 7 days of new med stuff.
I laughed hysterically at the cut way for the knife opening the box zoom in... IDK WHY
Super adorbs. Thanks for uplifting the evening.
I love how you told the fantasy people to make their art crazy. Usually, I'm not one to like crazy, crazy covers, but honestly, I wish they were a bit more creative with how they made the covers because they all look way too cliche ( not saying I don't like them, though) I hope they take this into the mind and make crazy covers with dragons, swirls, and magic because I'm really bored with the same old model in a dress looking towards the camera kinda thing.
