Great video Colin, and I agree. Susanna Clarke is a treasure and she needs to be talked about more. I also read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, took me a whopping four months to complete it because A. it's long and B. stuff kept getting in the way. It's one of my favorites of this year though, I admire the ambition and depth of Clarke's vision and it has some of the best uses of lore I've ever seen in a book, and as a guy who admires lore, that says a lot. Some of my favorite books thus far this year are In Cold Blood, Only Killers and Thieves, My Dark Vanessa, All Things Left Wild, Wistful Ascending, The Way of Edan/The Prophet of Edan, Lonesome Dove, and Kindred. Keep up that quality content my dude!
In Cold Blood made it for you too! Nice man. Also the prophet! When are you reading the third book in Edan? I’m so happy you enjoyed JSMN. Idk if it was just perfect timing for me this time around but I just was lost in that book. More so than my first time around. Clarke is so incredibly talented. Thanks for watching and interacting brother!
What an amazing and diverse list! I love to see the Hobb love here, though I am sorry to say that your heart is indeed not safe in the last two books lol 🤣🥲 I definitely need to get back to some King myself, maybe I will ease back in with his new short story collection! And gosh, Spear is one of those books that I just keep putting off because I feel like the big brain energy hasn't been there this year... but it sounds so good! Hope you find many more new faves in the 2nd half of the year, happy reading!!
Oh I know my heart is not safe, I’m not a…Fool… 😁. I’m going on vacation with my family soon and I thought about bringing King’s new short story collection with me to have something not so heavy to read like an epic fantasy. I really hope you love TSCTW if/when you get around to it. It’s such a unique book and a ton of fun. Thanks for stopping by, Esmay! And I hope your second half of reading is amazing also!
Memories of Ice and Spear Cut Through Water are still in my top reads of the year as well! Awesome list Colin and I'm so glad to see you uploading again!
What a banger of a vid! Fool’s Assassin is also right up there with my favorites of the year, and you’re giving me major fomo on Jonathan Strange and Spear Cuts Through Water!
I know you’ll get to them at some point and I really hope you love them. Can’t wait to continue in ROTE but I’m also so sad to be this close to the end… thanks for watching man!
Wicked list man. I’m taking it WAY slower with the Realm of the Elderlings than I expected but I do enjoy the books. Looking forward to meeting with Fitz again down the road :)
Such a heavy hitter man. I already miss it and can’t wait to reread this series someday. I hope you enjoy Edan! I’ve enjoyed it a lot through 2 books. Thanks for watching and interacting my man!
Awesome list! Fool's Assassin is my favourite read of the year so far, and LAoK is one of my favourite books ever! I'm excited for you to read Fool's Quest and onwards 😋
Awesome video Colin! So glad to hear you enjoyed Prophet of Edan. It’s a great series as a whole. I’m almost done with Tawny Man, and I’m looking forward to seeing how I like the Rainwild Chronicles.
Looks like it's been a quality over quantity kind of year for you. Only a couple of these I haven't read, and the ones I have are all top shelf. That's a really cool edition of The Shining. Great video!
It’s my go to genre most of the time! Hopefully you enjoy Billy Summers when you get to it. It definitely surprised me a bit just how much fun I had with that one. Thanks for watching!

Where are you at in ROTE, Liveship Traders? And it’s all good man, they aren’t goin anywhere!
Memories of ice really was such a damn good book. A heavy hitter. I’m excited to get into Edan here next month. Killer list!
Thanks for sharing brodie
Such a heavy hitter man. I already miss it and can’t wait to reread this series someday.
I hope you enjoy Edan! I’ve enjoyed it a lot through 2 books.
Thanks for watching and interacting my man!
@@ColinsCornerYT of course! I’m currently on a first read through up to midnight tides-so stoked to continue
Interesting list. Thanks Colin!
Thanks for watching man!
Awesome list!
Fool's Assassin is my favourite read of the year so far, and LAoK is one of my favourite books ever!
I'm excited for you to read Fool's Quest and onwards 😋
I’m so torn about finishing ROTE. I’m excited but also am sad I only have 2 books left. Oh the woes of being a fantasy fan 🫠😂
Awesome video Colin! So glad to hear you enjoyed Prophet of Edan. It’s a great series as a whole. I’m almost done with Tawny Man, and I’m looking forward to seeing how I like the Rainwild Chronicles.
I can’t wait to finish the last leg of The Edan Trilogy. What are your general feelings on tawny man so far?? Thanks for watching, Chas!
@@ColinsCornerYT I’m loving Tawny Man so far. I only need to read Fool’s Fate.
I’m so excited for you to read that!!!
Looks like it's been a quality over quantity kind of year for you. Only a couple of these I haven't read, and the ones I have are all top shelf. That's a really cool edition of The Shining. Great video!
It definitely has been quantity over quality, and I’m okay with that! Thanks for watching and interacting with the channel!
Amazing video Colin!
Thanks so much. Thanks for watching!
You are in for a treat with Return of Edan my favorite of the series. Pet Sematary is my book of the year so far!
Heck yeah!! What a book of the year pick! Love when SK gets that kind of love.
You’re plowing through all these fantasy series!! Glad you took some time to pick up some Stephen King though! I can’t wait to read Billy Summers.
It’s my go to genre most of the time! Hopefully you enjoy Billy Summers when you get to it. It definitely surprised me a bit just how much fun I had with that one. Thanks for watching!
Strong list 💪
Thanks, Big Al!
I’ve got a few of these books in my top as well, excellent list 🤘🏽
Can’t wait to chat about HOC man. What a ride. I have so many questions lol.
Is it sign language 🤔?? 🤞🤘✌️
You got it, man!
Am I the only One hearing snoring randomly? Like a cat? lol great video and books!
It was probably gaming computer running in the background 😂. I accidentally bumped my mouse and woke it up while filming.
Sign language? 😅
Ding ding ding! We have a winner 🥇!
