Terry Pratchett is my joy author. I can re-read a Pratchett book and it doesn't matter how many times I've read it I know I'll feel good while I'm reading it again

[@variibsu]

100% , anything in the discworld series is Joy, magnified.

[@Amoscrts]

I adore Scalzi thanks to you introducing me to him, and this was my favorite so far! ❤

[@badfaith4u]

I'm glad you have this author who gives you so much joy. 📚

[@Shelf_Improvement]

I love Scalzi too ❤

[@danielaweberdani]

great video, joy shines
right through your eyes.
my joy author these
days is caroline mitchell,
I love everything she writes
and all of her characters. 🙂

[@JohannaVanWinkle]

So glad I found your channel. Your reviews bring me joy! I might even try scifi since you make it sound really interesting!

[@tirarosaurioreads]

This book sounds fantastic. I wanna read the Kaiju one first but I'll get to this one eventually.

[@martinelanglois3158]

I laughed out loud when you said the kaijus' names were Edward and Bella. I'm glad an author brings you so much joy. I like reading Stephen King. He brings me joy and comfort. Looking forward to hearing about vampires. 🦇🖤

[@kathleensawyer2543]

This book has been an my audible wish list for a little while now.
And I originally put it on there because Will, Wheaton.
The person who played.
Wesley Crusher on Star Trek. The next generation narrates it. I did not realize the author who wrote red shirts also wrote this.
It's just kind of a little weird Star Trek Thread ❤

[@Gen-yh1jz]

Christopher Moore is always fun for me. Thanks for your
recommendation.

[@shamblepants1450]

I'm very new to your channel (and subscribed!) and on your suggestion I began reading (urmmmm...listening) to 'Redshirts' by John Scalzi, and IT'S SO GOOD!!!
As I went on several errands in my neighbourhood, I kept snickering and gaffawing - in public.
Thank you so much for recommending a new to me fantastic author, and I'm super excited to dive deeper into their other works.

I know I’m preaching to the choir but Becky Chambers in my joy bringing author.

[@WillowTalksBooks]

For sure, she’s magnificent

[@scal2025]

Same here! Becky Chambers' writing just feels like a warm hug to me.

[@user-cy6xl7ix6g]

Okay, here we go again😁. End of month, end of book budget, but now I HAVE to read Scalzi. I'll start with the two that will probably be most up my alley, i.e. the one with the dinosaur-ish creatures (you know of course which one I mean). And, as a devoted Trekkie for almost four decades, I have to have Red Shirts. Sorry, budget. I have no choice, I'm being influenced 😆😗

[@cj1986x]

I'm glad Scalzi's writing makes you happy. He definitely appeals to a lot of people, but I'm not one of them. I'm a big SF reader and have tired a few of his books--Fuzzy Nation, Old Man's War and Agent to the Stars. I DNF'd all of them. There's just something about his writing that makes me feel tired, like someone hanging over you, expecting you to respond in a certain way. I'm way too autistic for that. Right now, the author that's giving me the most joy is Martha Wells.

[@WillowTalksBooks]

Oh that’s very interesting!

[@tyghe_bright]

The author who is currently giving me a lot of joy is P. Djeli Clark. A Master of Djinn was like, how did you manage to shove in almost everything on my list of things I love, many of which are under used? Djinn, angels, monsters, steampunk, early jazz, magic, cross-dimensional existential threats, a murder mystery, a woman dandy, a trans character... and somehow it's not a complete mess, but instead a great romp.

[@niccc9476]

upon your enthusiastic recommendation, I've just preordered the paperback of Starter Villain

[@shaunwild2227]

Great video.
The authors that give me the most joy are Raymond Chandler, Daphne Du Maurier and Mariana Enriquez.

[@WillowTalksBooks]

Great choices (although I’ve never read Chandler, whoops)

[@HelenSchneider-tl3yh]

I picked up this book based on cover art (American version with a cat in a business suit). It made me laugh out loud.

[@Nixx0912]

I would really like to hear what you think of "Locked in".

[@rita.sotero]

Have you read woodworm by layla Martinez? Horror originally spanish
