- Just a FYI, the first 5 minutes was indeed a joke. Sorry to disappoint some of you...
I discuss the books I read in June and what I have scheduled for July!
The next few months will be full of buddy-reads/Read-alongs and it should be a blast!

🤣🤣🤣😂😂I call that payback for all the former trash talk we were doing!! You are a patient man with all the plotting and planning of the public shame!! Love it!!
Hahaha thanks, Nahla! I can be crafty 🤣 🤘🏽🦄
🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
Lol had me excited for the buddy read of the fairy unicorn series!
Lol 🦄💜
You’ll really enjoy Daughter of the Empire, I think even more than the fairy unicorns! 😂
If that’s the case, it must be truly epic! 😂 Thanks, Nev! 🤘🏽
Malazan is my absolute all time favorite series. I personally don't think the confusion is as bad as people say, but it definitely doesn't hold your hand very much like many other fantasy series.
Awesome, I can’t wait to get to it! Thanks so much for watching! Cheers 🤘🏽🍻
😂🦄💜
I’m fully prepared to declare Fairy Unicorn my favorite book of all time. Not only the best among SFF, but well above the works of Steinbeck, Vonnegut, and Hemingway. I’ll also proudly display my rainbow spayed edge edition on my (mostly empty) bookcase.
LOL looking forward to it! Gonna be an epic journey! Cheers, Caleb! 🤘🏽🍻🦄💜
FU is DARK AF!! You would never guess from the cover. There's a fight scene were the Unicorn spears a dude in the eye socket, kills three more raiders and walks off with the eyeball still stuck to it's alicorn. The rider didn't even remove it.....just left it there for the entirety of the story. That's just a taste of the prologue for book two.
LOL spoilers! Now I’m so hyped, it sounds badass 😎🤘🏽🦄💜
Oh man! Fairy Unicorns sounds amazing hahahaha
Right? 🤘🏽🦄💜
Oh my! This is my first visit to your channel. Good thing I read your disclaimer about the first 5 minutes first! Hilarious! And you kept such a straight face! Dan? who'da thunk it?
Haha thanks! I thought a disclaimer would come in handy 🤘🏽
Those Fairy Unicorns covers are looking good. You raised my hopes. You have to read those books now.
Renia sounds really good. I was hesitating because it's grimdark but you sold it well.
Thanks, Anitha! Renia was such an awesome experience! And now I can equal it out with something as uplifting as Fairy Unicorns 😂
😆
I’ll read this Fairy Unicorn series with you. Sounds right up my alley. 😜
-T
Lol sweet! Apparently it’s epic! 😂🤘🏽🦄
Awesome 🎉 I’ve had The City of Dusk for a while, I’ve been super curious.
Thanks, Theo! Just about to start it. I’ll keep you posted 🤘🏽
I want to join you all in the Fairy Unicorn buddy read! It sounds amazing 😂😂
Lol great! 🦄💜
whooo congrats on finishing the wheel of time! 🥳 what an accomplishment haha
renia sounds so interesting! and hmm interested to see what you will think of the city of dusk lol
Thanks so much, it’s been a long but enjoyable journey with wheel of time!
I’m excited to try the city of dusk!
I think your greatest contribution to booktube so far has been putting the Fairy Unicorn series on everyone’s radar. What a hidden gem you’ve found, thanks for sharing it with the rest of us!
On a serious note I’m glad you liked A Memory of Light, it’s one of my favorite WoT books. I thought Sanderson did such a great job concluding the series. Looking forward to watching your video on it with all your spoiler thoughts!
Thanks, it’s something special for sure! 😆
I can’t believe my Wheel of Time journey is at an end! It feels like one that would benefit from a re-read though!
@@bardsandbooks For sure, there is so much to pick up on during a reread! I’m due another reread myself but I keep getting distracted by the million other books on my TBR lol
@@alexsedai ahh, the struggles of readers 😆
@@bardsandbooks This was never a problem until I found booktube, it’s been a bad influence haha
@@alexsedai I agree 💯 😅
Fairy Unicorns lol 🤣 Great wrap-up and tbr. I am thinking about reading some dark fantasy in the months to come. The city of dusk sounds awesome, and yes, what an amazing cover! I've read just about everything by Feist with the exception of the Empire trilogy. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts. Magician is in my top 10 reads of all time.
Thanks, Cliff! Renia was cool, it had some horror scenes in there as well!
Looking forward to the Empire Trilogy and re-reading Riftwar!
You know I was looking forward to Malazan discussions but that FU alternative is really getting me excited!
Renia definitely isn't getting enough love! Wonderfully built story.
It should be fun 😂🦄💜
@@jcmberne 💯
Have a great July, brotha!
Cheers, bro! 🤘🏽🍻
Honestly I can understand the Fairy Unicorn series over Malazan. Seems like Fantasy as it ought to be written…also wouldn’t be surprised if I somehow ordered all the Malazan books in hardcover 😂
So excited to get to Malazan! Having them all in hardcover would be awesome! Cheers, Nate! 🤘🏽
Fun stuff! Death Gate was a really fun read when it came out. Looking forward to your thoughts on it as it's been 30 years since I read it. Good luck on the Malazan journey. My favorite ever!
Thanks, J! Dragon wing is interesting so far and really hyped for Malazan! Cheers! 🤘🏽
FAIRY UNICORNS! Ride or die fam!
Lol 😅 appreciate you, Rob! 🤘🏽🦄💜
Yesssssssssssssssssss to everything going on here. Loved the sardonic opening, and totally agree on Memory of Light being such a fitting conclusion. Renia sounds so good, and I might join you all on Becoming a Druid. I’m gonna love following your Malazan buddy read, you’re embarking on quite the journey!
Thanks so much, Ben! It’s going to be a wild ride and looking forward to sharing all our thoughts with Malazan! 🤘🏽
While I don't think the villains from Malazan will hold a candle to Shadow from Fairy Unicorn, I am still excited to get started with Gardens. I'm happy to hear Renia, was a hit. I received the book and am now trying to find a time to fit it in my TBR soon. -Cheers Usman!
Haha looking forward to sharing our thoughts with Gardens! Hope you enjoy Renia! Cheers 🤘🏽🍻
Fairy Unicorns for the win!!!
Definitely did not draw that out too long, I loved every minute of it lol. You’ve got me really interested in Renia, man. Some unique reads this month you’ve introduced me to some cool new books.
Can’t wait to get cracking on Malazan with you guys, I hope we all end up enjoying it.
Awesome, glad I could point you to some interesting books! Really stoked for Malazan! Cheers, Colin! 🤘🏽🍻
Haha I was wondering if Fairy Unicorn series read along was legit or not, that was funny! City of Dusk has been on/off my radar for a long time. I’m curious to know your thoughts about it! July sounds like a great lineup of books, I hope it’s a great reading month for you!
Thanks, Ellen! Fairy Unicorns was tempting but I’m excited for Malazan! 😂 We’ll see how The City of Dusk holds up! Cheers 🤘🏽
I’ve been waiting for the day that Fairy Unicorns would take BookTube by storm. Can’t wait for you to love the trilogy!
All joking aside… I have never read any Riftwar books, so I’m hoping I’ll still be able to enjoy Daughter of the Empire. 😅
Haha thanks Evie, it’s a big one for sure! 😆
I’ve heard many say that they love the Empire Trilogy and don’t need to be acquainted with Riftwar for it. Looking forward to sharing our thoughts!
