Sorry for being fairly absent with the live chat during most of this stream - as I'm sure you'll understand if you watch it, I was completely engrossed in such a phenomenal conversation!! Please share this video around, Janny's wealth of wisdom was on full display here
Janny and I have fundamental disagreements about hope, grimdark, and free will. We also have fundamental agreements about beliefs and experiences. I wouldn't describe myself as a hopeful person and, not that it doesn't exist in some way, but I definitely don't fully buy into free will (I have stateless family members to thank for that reality check). Being a “Chaotic-Neutral” Realist is where it's at for me, personally. Regardless of all of that, I genuinely LOVE everything about Janny. She is such an amazing person and is definitely an inspiration. I love hearing her speak and I can't thank you enough for getting her on NLR Together. Can't wait until you read more of her books, Jake.
@@slay.187 I totally respect that, my friend! I think one of the coolest and most interesting parts of life is that we don't all have the same opinions and it can be so cool and fun and educational to explore those different perspectives
As someone who can't read physical books any longer, I cannot wait for *ALL* of these to be available on audio! I would buy them all on CD, if they were offered as such - even at $50 per book!

I needed to wait a few days to watch this, and I'm glad I did. This was an awesome discussion. And I'm in the boat with you, I've been buying every book of hers I can find so I can read all of them. I started calling it the Janny shelf almost as a joke, but now it actually is that. And of course she is incandescent here as ever. I wish I had her example when I was a kid, but whatever; I have her example now.
Great chat! Janny truly is fascinating. I plan to rewatch this just to write down the many insightful things Janny said. I also related to her trying to get a book from the school library. I was a 90s baby and was stopped by the school library in 3rd grade. I ended up reading Stephen King because those were the books my dad had.
As a lover of audio books and a lover of colin mace’s work on the bloodsworn trilogy i really hope the series gets completed on audio as I would buy them all!!
