    Hey Cronk, I just wanted to say thanks for your content. I haven't read regularly in a long time, and your content has inspired me to rebuild a reading habit, which I have really really enjoyed. I'm working my way through The Lord of the Rings for the first time and having a fantastic time. I also really love that you touch on topics such as representation, which is really really important to me. Keep doing what you're doing, you deserve to keep growing and to reach a wider audience.

      My man! 😍 I'm so happy to hear you're rebuilding a reading habit. That's just fantastic! A LOTR is an excellent choice. Thanks for cheering me on too. It's appreciated!

    Your videos are S tier. Love how you breakdown books/series, it’s great. I am currently making my way through Skyward and I absolutely love this series. I am currently on Evershore, I chose to read it after Cytonic. So I just have that and Defiant left. I’m so excited to finish it.

    I am currently reading mistborn, and i really enjoy Brandon Sandersons writing.
    The thing is, I wanted to read this series even before I knew what it was about simply because it is Sanderson, but now that I know it has something to do with fighter pilots I will be all over it as soon as I finish mistborn.
    It just so happens that I am about 80% done with the process of becoming a fighter pilot for the airforce myself. I just have a few steps left and then I wait for the decision to either get a slot or not.
    I’m going to read this series next, as I’m waiting for news about my recruitment/application.

    Skyward is one of my favorite series. I have the last book left to read but I might reread the first three before getting to it as I don’t remember everything 🙊

    Thanks for the introduction, really good video! I really loved the first Skyward book and had a good time with the others. I especially liked the first short novel from FM's PoV. A great series overall that works for everyone!

    I love these series, and Cytonic is my favorite of the bunch! XD Guess I'm in the minority. I really love the concepts Brandon explored with these books.

    I just started reading Cytonic and I admit I've forgotten quite a lot of the previous two books, but I greatly enjoyed them. The series is fun and alive and the characters are so likable and I find them relatable even at age 30.

    Hi there! I liked your reviews more than I liked the books themselves. I'm a Sanderfan but not quite a fan of this series, idk why. It just feels a bit more shallow. Perhaps bc it's for YA? However, Mistborn is so much more well developed. It's not bad, it's just not as good as other works he has.
    Thank you for your interesting POV :)

    8:04 and the reason the pilots are all YA is because most don't live long enough to grow up.

    In the end what captivated me were the photos of the different species. They look too original. And in cultural aspects, are they also as strange?

    Does Gentlemen Bastards qualify as flintlock? I mean, there’s no guns but it is that between medieval/modern you described

    Hey I have an idea. On your last video I commented that you should make more videos on Stephen King. And I wanted to leave a follow ip comment because I came up with something kind of brilliant (at least for me). The next month’s theme should be Horror. “Frightening February”.

    • @telescopicfish
      @telescopicfish 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would’ve suggested that you do this with October, yet you already have a theme for that (“Old-school October”), so I came up with the next best thing.

      @cronkthebookguy  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Oh very tricky question. I try to do 100 pages every day. But it's very dependant on workload and spare time.
      Though I work part time as a driver, so I can listen to audiobooks in preparation for youtube content. On those days, it's a lot more than 100 pages! 😆

      @@cronkthebookguy I normally do it by time spent unless I am reading a book to review for my Bookstagram. That's just my book review page on Instagram. Then I don tend to time it. I work for as long as I can really. I take it extremely seriously. I commit to doing the work for the author or publisher and I always put in 100%
