I just ordered a Kindle paper-white 2024 and am so excited to get it at the end of next week. BTW I love your channel. Keep the weekly videos coming. Greetings from Switzerland!
I have had 11/22/63 on my shelves since Christmas 2021 but I was just beginning grad school so it has been sitting on the TBR. When I heard it might be the November pick I was hoping it would make it so I would commit to it! Here we gooo 😂
ironic that the next Stephan King im going to be reading next is the one that won for your book club. im hoping to start it tomorrow if i can finish up my current book which im close to being done
I have a Kindle Paperwhite, and I think my next e-reader will be a Kobo since it supports more formats of books. With Kobo I will convert my amazon ebooks to files to save on my computer (with Calibre), so that amazon doesn't have the power to delete any of my ebooks like they have done to others in the past.
Can’t wait for the beanies! I pre-ordered the colorsoft. My current kindle is 11years old (I’m surprised it still works), so I feel justified in upgrading. 😊
Great choice! I do think Billy Summers might be better though. Regarding The End of Loneliness by Benedict Wells: Wells is coming from a very well known and talented family of writers in Germany (von Schirach). He did not want to use this to get successful, so he chose an "artist" name. The End of Loneliness or Vom Ende der Einsamkeit is a very sad but very well written book. It is algo a kind of coming of age. Great book for Nov or Dec, but I would also go for a horror book for october! Cheers from Cologne.
If you like The Terror, Endurance is fantastic and is a non-fiction. I also found Song of Kali and Carrion Comfort to be far more terrifying Dan Simmons books, he’s a great writer.
Have you read Shirley Jackson’s Haunting of Hill House OR We have Always Lived in a Castle? I enjoyed them both. Haunting is a bit more scary. Castle is a bit more psychological thriller. Happy book selection.
I just finished Between Two Fires this morning - had a similar reaction to yours. Based on reviews I'd heard, I thought I'd love it, and in some ways I did, but overall it was more of a 3-3.5 star read for me. I did like the very end quite a bit, though.
11/22/63 has been a King book i have been holding off on because I can't wait to read it.... I'm trying to build up to it because I feel like it could be a climactic ending to my first King read through - might have to join for it though! Also - Hell House LLC was the only half way decent movie in that series, don't have expectations for the others😅 - just my opinion though!
I just finished 11/22/63. Loved the atmosphere - the first 25% was my fav. The ending was pretty ‘meh’ in my opinion, but I’m glad to have read it - I had FOMO on that one.
🙄 Read Revival already. What's the problem? Why keep mentioning a book you continuously refuse to read? It's like, read it already or why keep bringing it up every week just to say you haven't read it?
These make my week, thanks dude
Always look forward to your weekly uploads
I appreciate that!
Just joined the Patreon because of 11/22/63, I want to read it so badly!
How fitting 11/22/63 won for a November read! Haha such a great book, hope everyone reading it for the first time enjoys it!
Love this Channel ❤😊

Stoked to see you reading The Terror! I just recently got into Dan Simmons and the writing is incredible. I recommend Hyperion :)
BOX CAR RACER!!!!!!!!!!! OMG YES - I am so excited to hear someone talk about that band.
Life Aquatic cosplay for Halloween? 🤣
11/22/63 is so good!! I loved it!
Everyone keeps sleeping on Billy Summers I’m telling you
Hi Nick
Since you talked about Benedict Wells: I can highly recommend „Hard Land“ by him (coming of age story) - beautiful book
So glad I stumbled upon your YT channel! So fun! 😊

Box Car Racer was everything, that album is so good
team kobo, you can connect it to your library and borrow ebooks (you can’t do that with kindle in canada) also kobo has a colour version as well 😉
I was tempted to get the color Kindle but realistically, I don't need it 😅
Hey Nick, just wondering if you'll ever offer long sleeve t-shirts... there's a whole lot of winter here in northern Ontario🥶
Looking into a pretttty sweet sweater release at the moment 😬
@@booksaresick Awesome!
I found out from another book channel, The Terror is inspired from the book The Wager by David Grann. The Wager is good read!
Brother is one of my favorites.
The Blacktongue Thief is also a really good book by Buehlman
11/22/63 is great one my favorites of all time to. I’m excited that sone going get read it fir first time.
ironic that the next Stephan King im going to be reading next is the one that won for your book club. im hoping to start it tomorrow if i can finish up my current book which im close to being done
The Shadow of the Wind would be my recommendation. THE greatest book of all time imo
I second your opinion
Love the channel, excited to potentially see two videos a week!

dude better late than never for Hell House LLC but holy shit! it's so damn good. check out the house that october built too!
“Imajica” by Clive Barker
Hell House LLC is wicked scary!! Loved it.

Tanks.
Final book for October: “The Book Thief”, or, something less serious “Winterset Hollow”.
Your last read for October should be The Transit of Venus by Shirley Hazzard. It’ll blow you away!😊

What should I buy Anxious people or the Rithmatist a ya book by Brandon Sanderson?????
Final book for October - Coraline by Neil Gaiman!

So with the group reads, is there just an end date that it needs to be read by? Or do you have a certain spot per week that you discuss?
Between two fires is on my list. I’ve heard it’s like Dark Souls

Now is the time, read I Am Legend by Richard Matheson.
