Those who know me might say I should look up instead of down. In my mind, a spare moment is a reading moment; after buying a new book you have no idea how many times I have pondered reading at each red light on the drive home. I read when I eat. I wish I could read during showers.
But, yeah, I’m reading. A lot. And I want to review these damn books I’m reading. I will make both good and bad attempts comparing and contrasting my opinion-IT’S AN OPINION!-with what today’s book hype machine is saying. The fantastic tragedy is I now have to learn to be a content creator-slash-editor (Thank you, Jim Butcher 😉).
I hope you enjoy the videos. Thank you for watching! Please like and subscribe if you enjoy my content!! It’ll get better as we go along the journey! Take care!
KEEP READING!!

Lords of Uncreation, by Adrian Tchaikovsky, BOOK REVIEW
Out of all of the reviews and summaries I have seen of "It" this is the best. Maybe I've seen about ten.
Much appreciated! Such a great read!
I was just thinking about you this morning, figured it must've been about time you'd be finishing some more books!
Harry Potter only has like 6,095 pages, if you're looking for another light & quick read
😂 Or The Expanse. The Wheel of Time...
Yeah there are many versions of mahabharata and in almost all of them shakuni is considered as a master schemer and also he is the man who causes the final battle.
@@myentertainmentaccount502 I have never read the story, so this was my only exposure to the Mahabharata. I’ve heard Shakuni described as such. Still trying to decide if I want to read further on. He is scheduled to release his second book, Dance of Shadows, February 25th, 2025.
That's not a robe. That's a sweater. Satire!
@@momo_genX dang it! My secret has been revealed! Lol
Hi, I just found your channel and enjoyed watching both of your library tours. You have a nice collection and thanks for sharing a little about the books you’ve read and influences of why you picked up the others. Chuck Wendig and Mark Lawrence are two authors from your shelves I hope to read more from in the future. Booktube is great but it definitely introduces you to so many more interesting books that are hard to resist and there is only one of me to read them! Hope you have fun with your future endeavors on your channel!📚
Thank you for the kind words! I do appreciate the community of readers and Booktubers who recommend so many interesting books. It's nice to not worry about having a short TBR list, as you can imagine. I like your channel name! I wish you happy traveling through the pages of your books!
1984 gets more relevant every year
I cannot disagree! The book seems to reveal something new and revelatory about how close things could become to a dystopian future. A healthy reminder of how important democracy truly is.
I loved Kindred too
An eye opener. Couldn’t agree more! That one was a 5/5 Robes, for sure. Thanks for watching!
Can I get your autograph
I mean, who am I to say no to a Knight named “Jacob??” The answer is a resounding, “Yes!” 😂😂 Thanks for watching!
Good stuff!
Thank you!
Very good review
Thanks for watching!
Great review!! I’ll definitely get this book!!
I really enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Fun review. I will definitely get this book.
Hope you enjoy it!
“Hellllloooooooo”😂😂😂😂
If you know, you know. 😂 Thanks for watching!
Love this review
Thank you!
I absolutely love your editing and how you've let your humor come through
Thanks! It was a lot of fun making it. I appreciate you watching!
