It's because of people like you that the future will exist! I really do hope you be able to pan out things and balance them. Thank you so much for whatever you are doing, ma'am. We could really not do anything without you.
me wanting to get all the books my 50 books on my shelf that I haven’t read: ‘don’t do it,dooon’t do it im warning yo- me: already slowly adding them in my cart
Yes! Everyone is posting a video related to what do to while stuck at home and I've been waiting for yours!! Now I'm excited. I hope you stay safe, love you!
I sort of fell away from a lot of booktube the past couple years - just because I was busy. But it has become such a safe, calming space for me during this whole Buffoonery. Especially your channel. Thank you so much for you videos!
Yes I needed this video! Reading really helps with the stress right now. I agree fantasy is my favourite right now to escape from the whole panic going on right now. Stay safe and healthy everyone 😇
I've been waiting for this type of content! I personally am not stuck at home because I work in an office with less than 5 people at any given time... But I've still been really excited for book content related to being stuck at home haha
Hi, I’m Patrizia from Italy. Thanks for this video, it means a lot for me. I have been in quarantine since the last week and I need some reading recommendations. Your video are amazing, as usual. Thanks again. A hug... from the distance.
appreciate u 💓 also u mentioned on ur ig stories about a possible social distancing readathon, are u still thinking about doing that? 🥺 I think a lot of ppl would be really down for it
Hi Regan!! This isn't on the list, but I started Keeper of the Lost Cities on the cusp of my social distancing last week because I've watched so many vlogs of you reading it. Well... I got hooked, and I'm already on Neverseen. I'm going to be "working from home" (a.k.a. checking email every hour because there's not much I can do from home) and these books are perfect for all of my free time. They're so easy, and I'm obsessed with the characters *cough* Keefe *cough*. Thanks for introducing them to me!!
Thank you for reminding me to donate. I was so caught up in my own struggles and organisation to work from home that I completely forgot. Great video! Stay safe :)
I’m so early😆! I started The Way of Kings because I saw it on your reading vlog and I’m almost finished. I have to say I think it is my new favorite book!
Oooh! I read Way of Kings last month, now I'm reading Words of Radiance and I'm in love! My favorite series in a long time. (Also, Kaladin is awesome) ❤❤❤
A historical fiction novel that inspires one to persevere and get past one's weaknesses is the perfect thing to read under the current circumstances! (All the light we cannot see) I would also recommend The Kite Runner by Khaled hosseini if you wanna get all emotional in this dark time😍😍😍
So happy right now that I am a book hoarder right now! My Husband would always shake his head at me when he saw me come home with books from the library instead of reading my own books. I was just waiting for a time like this to read all my own books. I definitely will not run out of anything to read, that's for sure! My shelves are stocked.
Bookaholic Banter haha I’m there. We load up on books and have a ton in our library. Also during Xmas season I buy 15+ books on kindle because they’re are super cheap so it holds me over for a while. Plus kindle unlimited deals. Too many to do.
Camus' The Plague is perfect for right now, would be good in that "historical" fiction category. Basically looks at an Algerian city quarantined during an imagined plague. Camus being an optimist shows the hardship but how solidarity can emerge during that hardship.
the way that you talk about books makes me want to read every single one of them even if i have little to no interest in that particular genre. i applaud you.
I'm so happy to see you recommand City of Dreaming Books. I rarely see Moers recommmanded outside of germany and City of Dreaming Books is my favorite of his. It's one of my absolute favorites so I'm super happy to see it here!!
I was so happy to see the notification for this video! I love your recommendations 😊 I couldn't agree more for huge fantasy books, Words Of Radiance has been on my tbr for incredibly long and I've finally started it this week 😄
great video regan!! i would love a nonfiction recommendations video if you have any that youve been loving! with the social distancing happening and the summer right around the corner, i want to keep my brain stimulated!!
Thank you for this video! I am so excited to participate in the readathon this weekend! I haven't filmed in MONTHS and this is the perfect way to vlog!! I loved the Seven Realms series and am currently on Book 2 Shadowcaster and I am really enjoying it so far!!
A good fantasy series that I rarely see being recommended is the Spook's Apprentice by Joseph Delaney . If you are a fan of witches, goblins, ghosts and all that good stuff you'll absolutely love it !
If you like The City of Dreaming Books, I recommend one of Walter Moers's other books: The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear. It's totally surreal and amazing!
Jasmine hi, I just bought The City or Dreaming Books, and I saw that it’s in a “series” called Zamonia. Do you think it reads as a stand alone? Do all of them?
@@KyndleWylde They all take place in this fictional world called Zamonia, but you can definitely read them as stand alone books. There is a second part to City of dreaming books (labyrinth of dreaming books or something), but if I remember correctly it wasn't as good as the first and the first has a finished story anyways. Some of the characters make cameo appearances in other books, but nothing major, only a quick mentioning. Apart from Bluebear (which will give you the best overview of the whold world) I would recommend Rumo, it's a great book as well
Thanks for making this video. I, too, suffer from anxiety, and this crisis has aggravated it immensely. Your video helped distract me and inspired me to use this nervous energy to help me get through my TBR. Stay safe.
I LOVE Walter Moers books! They are so underrated! If you like City of Dreaming Books, you should check out some of his other titles too like The 13 and 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, Rumo and His Miraculous Adventures, and The Alchemaster's Apprentice!
I am 14 and I have short hair like you and many people say that no one who has short hair looks good. And then I say that "oh you may not have seen just how pretty Regan is" Also the fact that you have short hair at that age does not make me regret having short hair myself
Love that you did this! My uni just switched to internet based lectures so great timing with the book recs, it's scary how global corona is, I live in sweden and i'm experiencing the same things you guys are experiencing over in the US. On the topic of the next stromlight archive book coming out later this year - would you consider doing a spoilery reading vlog like you did with the final Throne of Glass book? I get that a spoilery vlog probably gets less views than a non-spoiler one, but it would be so interesting hearing your thoughts along the way and being able to have a spoiler filled discussion in the comment section!
Hi regan. I’m reading Fleishman Is In Trouble now. Enjoying it so far. QUESTIONS! 1. I’ve never listened to books. Which do you recommend as a first listen. 2. I’ve not read a fantasy book yet in my 60+ years. Which do you recommend as a first read. I enjoy your reviews, you are adorable to watch and listen to. 😊. Happy reading.
I also started working from home last Tuesday. Before the community quarantine was implemented in my city in the Philippines, I bought The Toll so I'm rereading from book 1 before I read it.
I love it that you have so many different, not so popular books which I haven't heard of but still sounds intriguing! Helps me try out different books ❤️
Thanks for the recommendations! I definitely agree with you about how great the Stormlight Archives series is -- the three books out now could get someone through perhaps a week of this! My daughter lives in NYC too -- stay safe and healthy!
First, I am so happy you enjoyed Devil and the White City. I loved that book when I read it in college a few years back and it's so cool that one of my favorite BookTubers enjoyed it too. :) A trilogy I recommend if you want an entertaining read that's dark but also has some of the more classic YA tropes is The Madman's Daughter trilogy by Megan Shepherd. The trilogy actually has low-key Fullmetal Alchemist vibes for me even though it is a historical fiction mostly. The main character is really compelling. The side characters are interesting. And it's just a really solid trilogy. The third book is not as great as the first two books, but all of them are fast enough reads that the slight storytelling dip in the third book isn't too much of an issue. And another book I read that I found out about and loved thanks to this channel was An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson. Perfect escapism. Literally read it in a day. It's perfect for people who are still a little bit intimidated by larger books. It's cute and dare I say...enchanting. Anyway, thank you for all the lovely recommendations, Regan! :) Keep being fabulous! God bless you and Clay. :)
hey regan, it would be very helpful if you could list the books that you talk about in a video in the description! 😊 i'm def gonna check some of these books out. stay safe
Being an author, I'm getting a ton of work done at him. The isolation keeps me level anyway. Boy, that's a small place. At any rate, I like your recommendations.
Regan, hi, i'm from Brazil and i really love this list. I wanna know if you can make a list with recommendations of books to people who are not americans and want to read in english.
English isn't my first language and when I started reading in English, I began with books like Wizards of Oz and contemporaries like Percy Jackson. The Witcher books are actually pretty easy to read through in my opinion.
I started reading in English when I was much younger with books like Percy Jackson, The Selection, To all the boys I’ve loved before and other YAs. I’m from Brazil too so I know it’s pretty easy to find those here, maybe not right now with Corona but you can still get them online.
it is cute looking at covers of books from abroad, i realise they are so different one from another.. and u know in Rissia there are just several series, they are either with grey paper or cost >2 times more! but they are cheap here :)
My problem rn is I read the first book or first two books I have in a series and now have to buy the sequels. I’m debating starting lies of loch lamora, or way of Kings. But I’ve just read the name of the wind, and the first two books in the first law trilogy. Is it to many series to read simultaneously lol. So many different characters and worlds to remember.
Im reading The Way of Kings right now. Its been on my TBR for over a year and I tried to listen to the audiobook way back then and couldnt do it. Reading it physically is much better but it is one hunka book. Its a biiiig boy. Taking me weeks to get through it.
This was so wonderful! I'm definitely making more time to read whilst everything feels so overwhelming- thanks for this! Hope you, Clay, and those close to you are safe! Xxx
I just finished Way of Kings and I plan on reading the rest of them while I have the chance. I want to read them all before the new one comes out! I also picked up the Black Prism to read soon.
Ive followed you for such a long time. I love your channel so much, I adore your videos especially you’re reading vlogs they are the best! I think your so inspirational. I’ve read so many amazing books because of you! I would be so lost without books & booktube! 😍🥰📖📚💗💗💗 Thank you so much for making booktube videos! 😍💗💗💗
Yeah. And my library card is really old (I recently turned 18 and haven’t updated it to an adult card yet) so I don’t know the pin to use any of the library websites😭
Okay, here I go : Fantasy: Warriors Wings of fire Keepers of the Lost Cities Septemus Heap (More) Realistic: A Mango Shaped Space Rain Reign Out of my mind The Westing Game (Mystery) Wonder A Wrinkle in Time Violins of Autumn (Older middle grade, ww ll) Hope this helps, these are a few good middle grade books/series!
I finally read The Way of Kings! And jumped right into Words of Radiance! Just got through part one and I ... I just can’t believe B Sands still knows how to surprise me. Lol. I was going read Elantris before continuing on with the series but I just couldn’t wait, so here I am, lol.
Love all the books you spoke about, so Thankyou! Everyone is trying to slow down and just be with what is . Great time for Reading, crocheting, knitting etc.
Ah I *love* both your non-fiction pics - and you explained Red Notice brilliantly. I remember trying to recommend it to someone and being like, "well it's about this financial dude in Russia...and a lot of shady things happen" haha
Just finished A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers. Wow! It's technically book two of the Wayfarers series, but could easily be read as a stand alone. It is science fiction and an amazing look at what humanity and identity mean. This is the best book I've read so far this year.
If u have a outside pet like me its ok to go outside cause its very nice outside!! I have to go outside to let my dog out and feed him cause thats important to do for me plus my parents like me to be outside to help them do stuff in the yard!! So yea its not wrong to go outside in fresh air and sunshine! Because i love to play with my dog! No offense srry 😭😢
Everyone should try and get outside. This whole thing doesn’t mean to be a recluse, just don’t get together in groups. I’m still going out and running.
Hi, loved this video, your recommendations are always incredible and I want to read every book you've ever talked about aha! I was wondering if you had any good middle grade recs? Stay safe xx
I am dying to read The Way of Kings!!!!!!!! But my plan is to finish Elantris and then the whole Mistborn trilogy and the era 2 mistborn THEN start the Stormlight Archive hahahahah. So many books, but I swear I read Sanderson's books faster than smaller books!!!
Hey you should read Warbreaker before Way of Kings for sure! It has a connection that I won’t say, but it’s also just a really good book if you haven’t read it yet
@@victorialittle4606 Thanks for letting me know!!!! I just ordered Warbreaker like two days ago and was debating when to read it hahaha so I will definitely make sure to read it before Way of Kings then!!!!! Thanks! 😊
I’ve really been wanting to read the nightingale and all the lights we cannot see for so long but i just never had a chance to pick it up yet. It sounds sooo good though.
Thank you for this video. I‘m a teacher in Switzerland but I suffer from asthma, so I‘m basically just staying in my apartment for the next five weeks. It‘s now my 4th day in isolation and I already have a hard time. So thank you for distracting me 😊 hope you‘re staying safe.
Today, my mom told me that a friend posted on FaceBook how much she enjoyed The Nightingale, and - knowing the bookworm that I am - asking me if I've heard of it before. Of course I have -- it's been on my TBR since I learned about it!
If you want epic fantasy The Wheel of Time series (mostly by Robert Jordan, finished by Brandon Sanderson) are awesome and also big enough to last you a pretty good while. First book is Eye of the World. The world is expansive, it's multi-perspective with many great characters, and I personally love it a lot.
Also wanted to let you guys know I am hosting a read-a-thon this weekend on my Instagram! So head over there for more info if you want to participate! ALSO Scribed is making their ebook/audiobook/magazine library entirely FREE for everyone for the next 30 days so a great resource for books!

Thought I was just a weirdo 😂
Me: Sees that everyone is isolating themselves and staying home
Me: >Orders eight books from amazon to pass the time< It's the perfect time to read.
*plot twist: they're from China*
Amazon are cancelling all non essential orders 😂
We don't have Amazon or any delivering service, because I live in Namibia🥺 I wish I could order books and get them delivered 🥺
@@dominganunez5695 i'm sure you didn't mean anything by it and you were trying to be funny, but it's not a kind comment :)

I bought more books last week jokingly saying “I need to be prepared in case I have to self isolate”. One week later, I’m very, very glad I did.
I work in healthcare, so no “working from home” for me. 😭 But I am still trying to get lots of reading done during this time. We’ll see!
It's because of people like you that the future will exist! I really do hope you be able to pan out things and balance them. Thank you so much for whatever you are doing, ma'am. We could really not do anything without you.
Thanks for your work !
Thanks for your time and humanitarian work
Thank you for your work. Sending love!
Thank you for all your hard work!! 🤗🤗

I sort of fell away from a lot of booktube the past couple years - just because I was busy. But it has become such a safe, calming space for me during this whole Buffoonery. Especially your channel. Thank you so much for you videos!

Un abbraccio dalla Romagna 💓 buone letture da quarantena!
@@froncifresh dalla Romagna anche io! Ci abbracciamo tutti ... da lontano!
appreciate u 💓 also u mentioned on ur ig stories about a possible social distancing readathon, are u still thinking about doing that? 🥺 I think a lot of ppl would be really down for it
I want that right now!!!
Madyson White She posted on Instagram again, it is A-GO!
What’s special about a social distraction read a thon? Just... read what ever is on your TBR.
Can't remember the last time one of my fav booktubers posted a recommendations video...THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!
Hi Regan!!

All the Light We Cannot See is my fav historical fiction.
I’m so early😆! I started The Way of Kings because I saw it on your reading vlog and I’m almost finished. I have to say I think it is my new favorite book!
YESSSSSS
Oooh! I read Way of Kings last month, now I'm reading Words of Radiance and I'm in love!
My favorite series in a long time. (Also, Kaladin is awesome) ❤❤❤
Codruta Maria Kaladin is one of my favorite characters ever!
A historical fiction novel that inspires one to persevere and get past one's weaknesses is the perfect thing to read under the current circumstances! (All the light we cannot see)
I would also recommend The Kite Runner by Khaled hosseini if you wanna get all emotional in this dark time😍😍😍
So happy right now that I am a book hoarder right now! My Husband would always shake his head at me when he saw me come home with books from the library instead of reading my own books.

If you’re a Sanderson fan, and you love something whimsical, if you haven’t read them yet, read his Alcatraz series. They are SO good!
You’ve inspired me to add Claire North to my wish list as I’m currently on a book buying ban. Thanks for the recs. Stay healthy & safe.
I’m currently reading City of Dreaming Books so I was super happy to see it mentioned here!! It really is an amazing story.

yeah time to hit up overdrive
Julia mine. Depending on overdrive as well
Yep. Using the libby app. Lol.
Wish I had a library nearby!😢😢

Honestly just watching ur videos calms the anxiety

Also the fact that you have short hair at that age does not make me regret having short hair myself
Same!!
Also Veronica Mars has short hair and she is hair goals. I had short hair when I was 14 as well. Short hair is just as beautiful as long.
don’t let them hate on your hair! short hair is great

For the Claire North books, I REALLY recommend the audiobooks! They are terrific! Especially the Harry August one!
New Yorker here as well (Long Island). Scary and sad times for sure. Hope you’re staying safe Regan ❤️

Being an author, I'm getting a ton of work done at him. The isolation keeps me level anyway. Boy, that's a small place. At any rate, I like your recommendations.
ALSO, Nevermoor has a FANTASTIC audiobook, I just keep pushing it on everyone. Lol
Hi! Can you please tell me if Nevermoor has witches/wizards?
I'm gonna try to read Priory of the Orange Tree while I'm doing school from home.
OH MY GOD, I'M DOING THE SAME! I got the book during the hype, but never got around to reading it. I hope you have a good time reading it :D
@@hkguliani I hope I do!! It's a little intimidating, but I'm trying it to let it stop me
@@zebrasaremything237 if you want to buddy read, hmu!
@@zebrasaremything237 (I have the same username on all the socials 🌻)
@@hkguliani I would love to buddy read!!
Regan, hi, i'm from Brazil and i really love this list.
I wanna know if you can make a list with recommendations of books to people who are not americans and want to read in english.
English isn't my first language and when I started reading in English, I began with books like Wizards of Oz and contemporaries like Percy Jackson. The Witcher books are actually pretty easy to read through in my opinion.
@@junechevalier just start small and work your way through. You can do this :)
I started reading in English when I was much younger with books like Percy Jackson, The Selection, To all the boys I’ve loved before and other YAs. I’m from Brazil too so I know it’s pretty easy to find those here, maybe not right now with Corona but you can still get them online.
@@aley1738 Thank u, i'm reading "Always and Forever, Lara Jean" and it's working
@@junechevalier Thank u, i will give a try.
I'm SO happy that you and Clay are home safe & sound! I've been thinking about you guys & wondered how you were! Awesome recs, as always!!🤗
it is cute looking at covers of books from abroad, i realise they are so different one from another.. and u know in Rissia there are just several series, they are either with grey paper or cost >2 times more! but they are cheap here :)
My problem rn is I read the first book or first two books I have in a series and now have to buy the sequels. I’m debating starting lies of loch lamora, or way of Kings. But I’ve just read the name of the wind, and the first two books in the first law trilogy. Is it to many series to read simultaneously lol. So many different characters and worlds to remember.
Im reading The Way of Kings right now. Its been on my TBR for over a year and I tried to listen to the audiobook way back then and couldnt do it. Reading it physically is much better but it is one hunka book. Its a biiiig boy. Taking me weeks to get through it.
This was so wonderful! I'm definitely making more time to read whilst everything feels so overwhelming- thanks for this!
Hope you, Clay, and those close to you are safe! Xxx
If you like historical fiction, this trilogy is really good. It is called the seeds of America trilogy, the first book is chains! It is about slavery!
Thanks for the recommendations. I would add "The Great Waves of Change" and "The Allies of Humanity" by Marshall Vian Summers.
I read the Briefings of the Allies of Humanity and I love them. It's fascinating and these briefings are a wake up call for us too.
I just finished Way of Kings and I plan on reading the rest of them while I have the chance. I want to read them all before the new one comes out! I also picked up the Black Prism to read soon.
No need to say that I love your channel, so wish it had a video everyday that we are in this social distancing!!
Hope you, Clay and Matilda are doing well
I miss going to the bookstores and picking out physical copies!
You should host a quarantine readathon! I think it’d be nice to have a day of reading since I can’t go anywhere.
Ive followed you for such a long time. I love your channel so much, I adore your videos especially you’re reading vlogs they are the best! I think your so inspirational. I’ve read so many amazing books because of you! I would be so lost without books & booktube! 😍🥰📖📚💗💗💗 Thank you so much for making booktube videos! 😍💗💗💗
Is there anyone else whose library is closed?:’(
Yes and now I can keep my books longer hahahahahaha
But still really sad 😢
🙋🏾♀️
Yeah. And my library card is really old (I recently turned 18 and haven’t updated it to an adult card yet) so I don’t know the pin to use any of the library websites😭
Yes, mine is😔😔
The anxiety and the cabin fever is kicking in for me. Thank you for the recommendations ❤️
I'm currently reading The Way of Kings! I'm going to read the second immediately after but then wait and read the third one closer to the release!
I'd love to see a video of middle-grade recommendations!
Okay, here I go :
Fantasy:
Warriors
Wings of fire
Keepers of the Lost Cities
Septemus Heap
(More) Realistic:
A Mango Shaped Space
Rain Reign
Out of my mind
The Westing Game (Mystery)
Wonder
A Wrinkle in Time
Violins of Autumn (Older middle grade, ww ll)
Hope this helps, these are a few good middle grade books/series!
I finally read The Way of Kings! And jumped right into Words of Radiance! Just got through part one and I ... I just can’t believe B Sands still knows how to surprise me. Lol. I was going read Elantris before continuing on with the series but I just couldn’t wait, so here I am, lol.
Can you do a middle grade recondition video please!!😁😁Also, stay safe, it’s really dangerous in NY right now!
I'm happy you managed to celebrate your brother's wedding! A big hug from quarantined italy 💓
I read Name of the Wind and Way of Kings last year because of you..... and they became my favorite books of ALL time.
Love all the books you spoke about, so Thankyou! Everyone is trying to slow down and just be with what is . Great time for Reading, crocheting, knitting etc.
Ah I *love* both your non-fiction pics - and you explained Red Notice brilliantly. I remember trying to recommend it to someone and being like, "well it's about this financial dude in Russia...and a lot of shady things happen" haha
Just finished A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers. Wow! It's technically book two of the Wayfarers series, but could easily be read as a stand alone. It is science fiction and an amazing look at what humanity and identity mean. This is the best book I've read so far this year.
I'm LIVING for these kind of videos right now!!
If u have a outside pet like me its ok to go outside cause its very nice outside!! I have to go outside to let my dog out and feed him cause thats important to do for me plus my parents like me to be outside to help them do stuff in the yard!! So yea its not wrong to go outside in fresh air and sunshine! Because i love to play with my dog! No offense srry 😭😢
Everyone should try and get outside. This whole thing doesn’t mean to be a recluse, just don’t get together in groups. I’m still going out and running.
The final empire (Mistborn trilogy) by Brandon Sanderson , Heartless by Marissa Meyer and Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik !! Thank me later
I hope you and Clay are staying safe 💕
so great 🥺 thank you for being so positive during this time
Hi, loved this video, your recommendations are always incredible and I want to read every book you've ever talked about aha! I was wondering if you had any good middle grade recs? Stay safe xx
Thank you! My brain feels like mush and I needed some great recommendations!!
I uploaded my list just yesterday if you wanna check it out :)
you should provide an amazon link with the title in your description! btw ive subscribed!
I am dying to read The Way of Kings!!!!!!!! But my plan is to finish Elantris and then the whole Mistborn trilogy and the era 2 mistborn THEN start the Stormlight Archive hahahahah. So many books, but I swear I read Sanderson's books faster than smaller books!!!
Hey you should read Warbreaker before Way of Kings for sure! It has a connection that I won’t say, but it’s also just a really good book if you haven’t read it yet
@@victorialittle4606 Thanks for letting me know!!!! I just ordered Warbreaker like two days ago and was debating when to read it hahaha so I will definitely make sure to read it before Way of Kings then!!!!! Thanks! 😊
HollyByGollyBooks No problem! Happy reading!💕
Please do a ‘if you like this, you’ll probably like this’ video! 💕
I’ve really been wanting to read the nightingale and all the lights we cannot see for so long but i just never had a chance to pick it up yet. It sounds sooo good though.
Thank you for this video. I‘m a teacher in Switzerland but I suffer from asthma, so I‘m basically just staying in my apartment for the next five weeks. It‘s now my 4th day in isolation and I already have a hard time. So thank you for distracting me 😊 hope you‘re staying safe.
Today, my mom told me that a friend posted on FaceBook how much she enjoyed The Nightingale, and - knowing the bookworm that I am - asking me if I've heard of it before. Of course I have -- it's been on my TBR since I learned about it!
I’m literally out of school for a month so this video was very much needed!
Hi Regan, I hope you are safe and well. Thanks for these recommendations. Can't wait to read them! :)
If you want epic fantasy The Wheel of Time series (mostly by Robert Jordan, finished by Brandon Sanderson) are awesome and also big enough to last you a pretty good while. First book is Eye of the World. The world is expansive, it's multi-perspective with many great characters, and I personally love it a lot.
