Loved the video! Just fyi with when the moon hatched. There is a page with the family tree on it which you should ignore until you’ve read the book! It can be a little difficult to get into but I enjoyed it! Also lightlark is great! I also read the second but have held off on the third! You’ve given me some inspiration for book reads for the year so thanks! Happy reading 🥰
Woah, what a list indeed. And those locked library ones are always so beautiful. Can't wait to hear how you like these as you go thru them. Thanks for sharing with us.
Great video! Thanks for showing those titles, many of which weren’t familiar to me. My grandparents house has a dining room library. It’s very cozy for meals, but the books definitely smell like food. 😂 Enjoy whichever book you choose to read next. 😺✌️
Love this type of video. I’m currently listening to the iron flame and I’m enjoying it. I’ve got some of your recommendations in this video on my list and some I’ve already read. I love fantasy books, please continue making these videos.😊👍🏽
Oh my heavens you’re gonna love crescent city!!!! Every book was good and it pulls in Rhysand and Cassian and Nesta in the second and third book! I love the character arcs and the fact that the story never lulls! It’s so good! I also wasn’t sure if I would like a more modern day story with fantasy but it totes works due to the historical story throughout. 🥰😎🧚🏻♀️
I love your book content! I am currently reading Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney. I am excited for Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros. Watching your video made my TBR pile grow. 😂😂
Joel, curious if you like listening to an audiobook? It could help you reach your 35 book goal as you drive and take the train quite a bit, it seems. May I recommend Luke Evans short autobiography "Boy from the Valleys". Raised by Jehovah,s Witnesses in Wales, coming out and coming of age, Welsh singer, London West End Musicals, to the MCU and film. 320 pages, or what I enjoyed the 10:30 hour audiobook read in his great Welsh voice by the author. *Hope you are having or had a great Cruise!!*
I'm so happy you got more into reading because I am a huge reader. It's basically all I do for entertainment. I loved When The Moon Hatched but I just want to give you a heads up that its high or some say epic fantasy meaning the author made this world that doesn't include more common things we know. For instance if she talks about a fruit it won't be a strawberry or mango, it will be some made up fruit. She is also very detailed and descriptive which puts some people off. I found it to picture the world the characters live in better. She includes a glossary for terms if needed. I didn't bother and just rolled with it but some people find this type of book off putting. I do hope you enjoy it but if not, it's fine. Keegan may enjoy it. It's nothing like ACOTAR or Fouth Wing so he should be fine with it. The Crescent City series is good, but it's my least favorite series from Sarah J Maas. I'm glad I read it last. Especially considering what happens at the end of the second book and the beginning of the 3rd book. I believe you know what I mean since I believe that is the spoiler you mentioned. It was hard for me to get into since it's very different compared to ACOTAR and ToG and I think I got to about half way through that book before I was feeling good about it. So hang in there if you start book one and are like, wtf Sarah. I can't be bothered to read other peoples comments so someone might have mentioned this, but Onyx Storm isn't the final Fouth Wing/The Empyrean book. Originally it was supposed to only be a triology but now it is slotted as a 5 book series. So ya... it won't be done for a few more years. I don't want to bombard you with book recs but you might like the From Blood and Ash series. It has ACOTAR vibes which is why I like it. I'm reading the last book published of the prequel to it (I don't suggest reading the prequel first if you want to read it. There is a reading order out there that is helpful). Other than that, my TBR is huge and I'm a mood reader so I try to not plan what to read each month other than book club picks or any ARCs (advanced reader copy) on Netgalley. I usually have a few of those each month. You might enjoy joining Netgalley. You have a platform so you would probably get approved any books you apply for. Anyways, I love this reading journey you are on. I like seeing your updates on them. Happy reading! I hope you are enjoying your holiday in the tropical weather. Bring some warm back with you. xx
I've just finished the 5th book in the Lisbeth Salander (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) Millennium series. Two to go with a third author in the offing. Your 35 title goal is quite ambitious and all seem to be huge reads. This video was entertaining (as usual) and you SMASHED it in that glorious green tee!
A library is my dream! I've been reading a spirituality book "The Unseen Realm." I'm a big fan of historical "fiction" with some events or characters of people who really lived. Eugenia Price had a series called "Savannah." They were a real family, but she wrote the details around it. It has 4 in the series. Excellent read! Always ❤
PS: yup you so totes need to do a clever Joel Wood Read channel (or whatever cute channel name you can come up with!). We need alllll of these discussed by the hour or two at a time in another space. 😝😝😝😝
I tried with Crescent City. I hated book #1 at first and then finally got into it after figuring out all the characters. It felt like a lot of work, but after all the investment, I was excited for book #2. I opened the first page, and there were new characters, so I gave up without turning to page 2. It was too much work to understand book #1 that I couldn't handle getting past the first page of book #2. Maybe I will return someday . . .
Have you read any of the Cormoron Strike series by Robert Galbraith aka JK Rowling? I love them. Also, any of the Dublin Murders series by Tana French. I absolutely love her writing. I really vibe with her style. I can actually hear a melody when I read her books. Sounds weird but I really do!
Hiya Joel, don't forget about Wuthering Heights, I gave you, are you still in touch with Lia? she's put nothing on her channel for ages, this is Choppy
Dear Joel I would urge you to add one more book. Say Goodbye Misty Day it has humour and tragedy and great list of characters each with a story to tell. Misty Day a former fluff actress who turns legit, is murdered. Why? Hedda Pulse a dancer who likes nothing better than chewing on good sausage so many things. Due to be published in March. I think you would like
Books!! I loved the book chat, thanks!
I loved crescent city. I actually started that series before acotar and made me want to read the rest of her series!
The "A Discovery of Witches" is one you would like. Very intriguing and intelligent.
I like talking books. I enjoyed this video. 😊❤

I like Joel in his low-key booktuber era. Great eye for book covers btw.
2:33 I just knew you were inspired by Jack Edwards.
Love your mug (not your face your cup). Very cool.
Loved the prospects. BTW LOVE THE NEW HAIR-So stylish. It is definitely you.❤
Love the book content! I’m currently reading a thriller called “Beautiful Ugly”, so far so good. 📚
Woah, what a list indeed. And those locked library ones are always so beautiful. Can't wait to hear how you like these as you go thru them. Thanks for sharing with us.

The Nightingale is an exceptional book. It should be a must-read for all book clubs. I loved it.
I really like your book videos, as well as all your videos, but I love books and reading.

I also thought the urban aspect of Crescent City would put me off but I pushed through and looooved it. Give it a good few chapters!

Hahaha 😂I love your candor, if you don’t like books swipe left 😂😂
When the moon hatched was rly good
The book that didn’t burn!!! The first one was so good!!! Haven’t gotten to the second one yet

Great chat! My next read is The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo. Supposed to be pretty good.

I'm not a reader, but I like watching you talk about books. All I do is transcribe government meetings all day- Ha!
I think it's great that you mention Jack now and then, he certainly derserves it, and don't we all just adore him. 🤷🏽♂️😁🙃
You should read Belladonna, it’s a fantasy murder mystery with Death as one of the main characters, set in Victorian times.

My favorite type of video so far, also which are your favorites gay romance book recommendations?
The Book Thief...Markus Zuzak..brilliant?

👏👏
Just thought I'd drop a comment to let you know onyx storm is actually the 3rd book in a 5 book series😅
Dear Joel I would urge you to add one more book. Say Goodbye Misty Day it has humour and tragedy and great list of characters each with a story to tell.
