I really thought that Jacob was gonna say, “you don’t need crazy amounts of equipment to look good, you just kind have to…. Be handsome!” Thanks for the BTS video. Always nice to see where the magic happens!!
I love how the studio books are floating on air like super hero's 😂 and I love Jakobs art, someone has great taste 🎉 ps u both had great hair days!!! Also loved the giggles in Jakobs video
If your regular videos weren't already proof enough, I feel like this tour really showcased that you would be an amazing show host hahahah. I loved getting a peek behind the curtain at the Talking Story household. Such a gorgeous collection of books, on both fronts. Thanks for sharing!!
This was glorious. Now I'm not only raring to go for our discussion about Farseer, but you have a TARDIS, you've got the super pretty Empire of the Vampire books, AND a dragon to guard them all. Holy crap I love booktube. YOU ARE MY PEOPLE!!! Sadly, Jakob, I'm going to pile on. How dare you have such a lovely set of Tolkien, and NOT HAVE READ Return of the King?! That means you've never read the scouring of the shire! You need to get on that. Also I'm violently envious of you having art by Janny Wurts, she's a true renaissance creative. Love love love your faces. ❤
That TBR shelf for series is a nice touch! It's tough to do when you're mostly digital. My shelves are dusty lol. I'm sure we have several hundred books in the house. There's a small one in the bedroom for my wife's current reads, but 99% of anything we've bought in the last several years have been for my sons. I really do need to get them cleaned up though! Now, where are all of the books that don't fit on the shelves go lol?
So cool!!! Loved this collab look behind the scenes and shelf tour for you both! So fun, and I'm jealous of So many of your books! Hahaha John, that singing voice is like velvet!
I really love those Matthew Corbett editions. I have those same covers...on my kindle! But they look incredible in hardback and the way they're displayed on the shelf
Man you have such cool editions of all your books. Such a fun and entertaining video guys, you two always make me laugh! Love how the whole family is involved. Also Jakob, as someone starting The Two Towers for the first time, I can't imagine not wrapping up with Return of the King! Oh well, all in due time perhaps 😂
Man seing those shelfs makes me miss the days I had a bookshelf. Nowadays everything is in boxes and it's a goddammed mess whenever I want to pick up a specific book 😵 Anyway great tour and BEAUTIFUL bookshelf. You and your channel is perfect antedote to reading slumps. Now I just wants to sitt down with frosty beverage and good book!
Beaut library man, I rarely see such an avid reader maintain so much feng shui around each shelf, where there's room for staking. Me on the other hand, I read much slower then I collect and books & series that I hear good things about tower above me tightly as possible, that I gradually nibble at and refine. You seem so well read and appreciate so many authors - either your really good at only keeping books you adore, or you've got another room of the house that you don't want on youtube, devoted to the others. Thanks for the tour, I loved it - maybe the misses will show us her library one day. We've got the same Hobbit & LotR!
@@MagusMarquillin oh there other shelves that are packed with plays, scripts books galore. Jakob wanted a clean look for the background. Thanks for checking it out the tour.
@@Talking_Story Not in the slightest - I felt like sitting in the front row of Madison Square Garden in 1974. Should have commented further down the video. Didn't want to exclude Jakob, much love for the literary wingman!!! 🙂
@@Talking_Story No yet, I had to pause my reading for a month or so. Planning to tackle one between longer books; I'm quite keen on reading Tinsley's first!
@ I do not have a copy. I have sold so many amazing volumes over the years. The King library I had out together as a young man did not make all the moves I have made through life sadly.
The vast majority of my books are in storage unfortunately and this video made me extra eager to have them all again even if just to look at them haha.
Fun to see your book tour. I’m hoping to pick up Janny’s books at Dragonsteel in December because I’ve found it very difficult to find sources for all of her books. If successful, I’ll join in your read along beginning in January. Where were you able to find her books?
You probably already saw but just in case I found out yesterday that there's a graphic novel version of Assassins Apprentice and volume 2 is out next week
Great video as always i'm glad Jakob likes Memories of Murder aswell one of my all time fav films! :) my bookshelf i feel would drive some people off the wall, as it's colour coordinated so the authors are all over the place 😬 but it looks nice so 🤷
Great tours! Jakob, I agree, I am one of the few who thinks Red Rising is overhyped. The original trilogy I enjoyed for the most part. I struggled with books 4 & 5. Haven’t read 6 yet.
Cribbing my style, are you? 😂😂 Two can play at that game… Also dang it Uncle, now Fly Me To The Moon is stuck in my head! That’s not even one of my favorites from Frank! 😂 Great video as always though uncle.
Both of you (please take this the right way) take your above average tidy rooms and turn them into amazing studios. I like to lean my Motorola against a gallon of drinking water and try not to bang or shake the picnic table too bad. Satire!
I NEED those Jany HCs! They look beautiful. Anyone know where I can find them. I've seen she sent them to mike and the talking story boys. I think I remember Mike saying they were reprinted? If anyone knows where I can find them plz lmk!
That desk deserves a raise for containing John. Cause damn… John on his feet is a lot.

Thanks Josh!
It was so cool to see your studio John! Really fancy!
@@BookishChas Jakob put a cool spot together for me. Lovely son.
Those golden pipes and baby blues!
@@calumlott
Man, how do you gloss over the absolute editions of those comics!! You gotta flex owning those! Thanks for the tour guys!
@@Trevorcomicfan they are very cool. My Watchmen is signed by the actor that played Rorschach in the flick.

@@TheBeardedBookBeast oh u r too kind my friend
A nice tour. Behind the scenes is always interesting. Maybe it is the angle, but on the show it looks bigger. For both studios.
@@Kaolein UA-cam magic
For Jacob, as someone who isn’t as high in red rising as the other red rising stans. Books 4-6 are excellent 6 is freaking awesome
I agree and have told him so
Would love to see some reading vlog style content. You’ve got that natural charisma John!
@@significantice thanks so much for that I have been thinking about doing something like that.

@@DecidedPanda I know his fiance is on that

@@emzstern frosty beverage and a great book. That sounds amazing!
😻 John Sinatra is my new favorite thing!!!!!! Rick Thunder better watch out 😂 🎶 💪
Oh what if John Sinatra and Rick Thunder were to perform together?!
@ Sounds like your agent needs to talk to his agent Mr Brian Bell and get that ball rolling! I am sensing an amazing music video in my future 👊🏻🫶🏻

Great video, I enjoyed seeing both your collections. Awesome! 😊

Jakob loves that filmaker
Great seeing behind the scenes! John your charisma gets me excited to read more every time!
@@SlowlyGoes what a kind thing to say I truly appreciate that
I picked up Mistwraith... that is a CHONKY paperback :D Y'all have some of my favorites. John's got Swan Song. Jakob has The Strain. Nice choices.
@@gryftkin thanks brother!
John you're the greatest! That intro, I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣

@@Talking_Story I don't see The Stand tho! Or am I blind?
@ I do not have a copy. I have sold so many amazing volumes over the years. The King library I had out together as a young man did not make all the moves I have made through life sadly.
Cool video! Love seeing the shelf. My tour would be significantly shorter 😂
Give yourself just a little
time my brother! You will pack em in!
@Talking_Story for sure! I've been getting the itch to buy books a lot more lately 😅😂
'That my mom has been recommending to me....for years! 😅 You sound like my daughter. Made me laugh.
@@tammaraliberty he should listen to his mother
@Talking_Story he should lol.
Loooove the video 🎉 and loving this is a short one ❤ more of this less than 20-15 minute video plz!
@@Nico-lk5hb trying to keep the time under control. Doing our best😀

@@stevehoran6011 I was very lucky in she sent them to me. To find them I am pretty sure you have to go used.
Very nice, think i need to invest in some new shelves soon. I can't believe there's a copy of The Heroes just sat there not being read 😜
Ohhhhh I know!!
That one seems to be people's favourite but I've got a real soft spot for Red Country
@@mrgoodkat8448 After Best Served Cold I am up for them all
