    I know you BookTubers have To Be Read lists that, piled up, would extend to the moon... so delighted you got to Theft of Fire, I knew you would enjoy it! I'm so excited for even more readers to discover and experience Devon's book :) To anyone who likes The Martian, The Expanse, Red Rising, and classic scifi... you definitely need to add Theft of Fire to your list :)

    This guy makes the best videos, and he likes Jurassic Park. I'd subscribe twice if I could 😮

    Nice video. I'm glad you're giving the self-published authors a chance. I should do more of that, but there are just so many amazing older SF books to catch up on... The TBR grows. 😂

    Can't wait to dive into Dierock! Got it last week and it'll be my read after I finish up Renia.

    Theft of Fire, yesss. So good. And Dierock has such a killer cover, might have to check that one out too

    That's a strong start to the year, good luck with picking your favourites list at the end of the year hahaha. I am so happy to see Wistful Ascending here, Rohan for the win! And you are getting me excited to try Jurassic Park, I keep putting it off oops 🤣

    You've read some fantastic books already this year with so much still to go! I also really enjoyed Wistful Ascending. (and it's sequel)

    I read The Lost World when it came out, but I didn't add Crichton onto my list until I read Jurassic Park last year. He's in the mix now and I can't wait to get to more of his books.
    I'm just wrapping up Best Served Cold (pretty sure I confused the First Law World and The First Law trilogy tags when I added it). I'll be adding The Blade Itself to the short TBR list soon to get into the trilogy proper. Steven Paisely is awesome.
    Can't wait wait to see the review for Theft of Fire.
    JCM Berne is a pretty cool dude. Can't wait to get to his stories as well!
    Dierock88 is on the old TBR as well!
    The Dryad's Crown has been added to the TBR. Those are some great illustrations. I'd love to see more noblebright out there, it seems like it's grimdark as part as the eye can see!
    I've only read 8 so far this year. The top #1 so far is Howling Dark, but followed closely by Jade City and Whispers of a World Breaker.

      Howling Dark is one of my top books of all time!

    Awesome video! Is there any way I could interest you in taking a look at my sff novel, A Gambit of Exiles? I’d love to hear what you’d think 😁.

    1)«Imperium» by Robert Harris (Historical Fiction about the Roman Politician Cicero)
    2)«Når landet mørknar» (Approximately «When The Land Darkens») by Tore Kvæven (Historical Fiction set during the 13th Century Norse Settlement of Greenland, winner of the Norwegian Brage Prize for Best Norwegian Novel in 2018)
    3)«The Last Light of the Sun» by Guy Gavriel Kay (Fantasy inspired by the Viking Great Heathen Army and King Alfred the Good)
    4)«Brother Red» by Adrian Selby (Grimdark Fantasy, standalone «midquel» to «Snakewood» & «The Winter Road»)
    5)«Stonehenge» by Bernard Cornwell (Historical Fiction about the Creation of Stonehenge during the Late Neolithic Period)

      I haven't read any of these 🤯

    • @MacScarfield

      @@BiblioTheory Kvæven is unfortunately not been translated to English (yet), but can highly recommend Harris’ Cicero Trilogy (very witty and he makes Ancient Rome and its citizen truely come to life!).
      The other books I thoroughly enjoyed, but «A Song for Arbonne» or «The Lions of Al-Rassan» would be more natural starting points for reading GGK, «Snakewood» or «The Winter Road» for Selby and «The Warlord Chronicle» for Cornwell!

    I'm curious (b/c two or three people have mentioned it)... how long is everyone's TBR? Mine is pushing 30 books, and that's just sci-fi and fantasy.
