There are nicer views than the one I got up there but the wind was not my friend. I’ll try again on a calmer day. The cover really drew me in too, that’s what made me pick it up.
I have to say I enjoyed both of them a lot, that being said I’m pretty much hard-wired to enjoy them. I love William Goldman’s The Princess Bride and Tress is an unashamed riff on that story. And as an Irish guy who likes fantasy, a fantasy story that is about the exploitation of the British empire is right up my street.
Hello! I was in Cardiff a couple of weeks ago. I enjoy recording outside and your background looks awesome too. New to your channel and i shall be back! I hope you enjoy reading :) I think I am the only one that has never read Pratchett. My recommendation is Jilliane Hoffman, they are gritty, but so good!!
Thanks a million for commenting and for the recommendation, I haven’t come across Jilliana Hoffman at all so I’ll definitely check her out. The outdoor recording was a bit of an experiment, I might do it again weather permitting. Which in Wales the weather generally doesn’t permit. 😁
As you are in Wales I will suggest A Morbid Taste For Bones by Ellis Peters, that's a mystery rather than a thriller though. What an eclectic list of books, and a beautiful setting! That's a lot of Discworld for one month, is this your first time reading through the series or are you a recidivist?
Ah, the Cadfael mysteries, never checked them out. Great shout. I’m definitely a Discworld repeat offender. I’d read most of them (many of them multiple times) but never finished them. Actually a conscious choice. When Pratchett died I hated the idea of finishing them and never getting another. I still kinda do, but this year I decided to bite the bullet, reread them all in chronological order and document it. That’s why I started the channel in the first place. Thanks a million for watching and commenting.
Great location.
Love the cover of Butter.
Great list of choices to read.

I, myself, have to read Babel and Tress If The Emerald Sea. Happy Reading to you!

Babel was so good! But a little too smart for me hahaha 😂
Meh just ignore the footnotes. Makes you feel way smarter 😂
