I started my Wheel of Time journey with New Spring: Prequel to Wheel of Time. It really helped once Moiraine and Lan are introduced, it's their backstory and explains so much. Enjoy your reading.
My husband and I just listed to the audiobook: Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson. So good! We both really enjoyed it…together! Keep doing what you guys are doing, love watching together!

I read and thoroughly enjoyed "The Wager" while traveling home from Mexico. It was a long trip but the book really put travel in perspective for me! Several plane trips is really nothing compared to what those men endured. I'm currently reading 11/22/63. It's only my second Stephen King novel (the first being Fairy Tale).
Oh wow! I loved the Wagwr as well. Really puts sea travel at that time in perspective. I've also read both of those King novels and loved each one. 👍❤️
OMG, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your book cover grannie squares, are you kidding me! I wish I knew how to crochet, ugh! I want to make a book cover grannie square book bag! Thanks for the GN recommendation, 100% picking this book up. Currently reading: Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass #2), A Court of Silver Flames, and 2/1 I'll be starting Dark Matter with you guys on Patreon; yay!
Fun idea with the crochet squares! Can't wait to see what it ends up being. By happenstance, I also just finished Kitchen Confidential (I listened on audio). I enjoyed it until about 3/4 of the way through, then I found the stories of his many moves from restaurant to restaurant and the antics of his colleagues to be repetitive and a bit like you had to be there (like hearing good friends' inside jokes or memories) or maybe I'm just no fun! Lol! I enjoyed his tips on must have kitchen tools and ingredients and his explanation of how a kitchen preps and runs, as I have always been curious about that. I don't think I would pick up anymore of his books but he was definitely a dynamic character. You might enjoy the Books Unbound podcast. There are two hosts and they read broadly but they like some fantasy, Stephen King and graphic novels. In the past year or so, they started posting their podcast on TH-cam but it was originally (and can still be listened to as) an audio podcast. I'm interested in your book club but I'm waiting for a book that I haven't read already (Night Circus) or am interested in (I watched Dark Matter and it wasn't form me but if you end up enjoying the book, I'm sure you would like the show), so please keep announcing here what you will be reading in future months.
I can see what you mean about the stories of him in the trenches so to say, it did have me a bit like "okay, I get it," but I also enjoyed his ability to describe everything. As for the book club, totally understand that. We will make sure to keep the people hear informed as we move on to new books. It is a fun part of the process figuring out the next book.
I love watching your knitting blog Tayler! (Although I am a crocheter, your yarn reviews are IT.) And just when I decide to track my reading by starting a reading journal, I search for reading journal and book review vids … And this series of videos pop up!! I am so loving your reviews and the interaction between you two! You’ve got a fan for life, whether you’re discussing knitting, yarn, or your love of books. Oh yes…book granny squares… I’m doing that via a Facebook group. But I’ll be there for yours as well, if you decide to start one.
I’m so glad you’re here for this too! Welcome and thank you so much for your sweet words. That means a great deal to me. Also love that you’re making granny’s squares for your books as well!
Loved my reread of The Night Circus, can't for the live discussion, got so much more out of it the second time around. Currently reading, Go To Help by Erika Englehaupt, a non-fiction put out my National Geographic about all the "hellish" places on Earth and for fiction, The Beguiled by Thomas Cullinan. It's a historical gothic set in Civil War days. I am really enjoying it. It has been adapted to film starring Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, and Kirsten Dunst. Looking forward to reading Dark Matter, picked up my copy from the library yesterday! Thinking of starting the granny squares also, a book bag is a great idea. Love your channel!
Wanted to say thanks for recommending the book “ The God in the Woods” by Liz Moore! I just finished it this afternoon and am still processing WTH happened! I really enjoyed it, especially because I grew on the east coast and my BIL was a NYS trooper and an investigator. Fun video as usual 👏👍📚
I love the idea of making a granny square for each book read then turning them into a quilt at the end of the year. The only problem is that I don’t know how to make a granny square 😂.
If you're looking for some books that are quite visual/interactive that aren't graphic novels/comic books I would recommend The Griffin and Sabine Saga by Nick Bantock or The Venetian's Wife also by Nick Bantock or The Tattooed Map by Barbara Hodgson.
I’m currently reading The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman (3rd Thursday Murder Club). I’m only 60 pages in so haven’t really formed an opinion on it yet. However, I do think the second book in the series is better than the first as I liked Ibrahim’s storyline and how all the characters rallied to support him.
I really enjoy both podcasts! Currently, I am listening to The Vampires of El Norte. I am about 10 chapters in and am wondering where are the vampires? Aside from that, I'm enjoying the story telling. Thanks for your content! I look forward to your new videos every week!
Hi Monica! Thank you for watching. And I’m glad you’re enjoying VoEN. The vampires in this book are not typical vampires. And in fact you’ll find that it’s more of a symbol for a particular group of people. Keep listening. I think it will all start making sense soon.
I totally agree with Tayler about maps! There’s a series I read that I loosely call fantasy because it’s a mystery series where the characters are woodland creatures. Each book has a map and will include any new areas mentioned in that story. I’m totally here because of WNH and geeked out a bit when you shared your granny squares! They’re looking so good a book bag is the perfect thing to do with those. Will you make a bag at the end of the year to commemorate the books you’ve completed this year or will you make it when you just have enough to make a bag? Lastly, I think there was another author who did another treasure search, but the treasure was a key and when the key was authenticated, you got a gemstone? Josh Gates did an episode on the series on his Expedition Unknown show and followed a reader who actually found the key in a baseball field that was being turned into a building, so they had to stop construction to film the show (or so it appeared). Because construction had started, the key was actually destroyed, but they found enough pieces to put together so the guy could claim his prize. If I remember correctly, the author had passed away, but his wife presented the recipient with his gemstone. Josh Gates also did an episode on Forrest Fenn, so it was fun when you mentioned him.
Love y'all! Always look forward to your videos and what y'all are reading. I also knit so also watch your knitting channel as well. Keep up the great work.
At Joann’s you can buy fabric you can print in the printer. Maybe you could print the book covers or makes tags for the back of your coasters. If it was me, I would forget what they all were within a month! 😅
Hi, great podcast. Tayler I gifted you a book related pattern on Ravelry today. It’s called The Book Snake. For knitters…. Like your granny square project. Enjoy!
Aw Astrid thank you so much!! I can’t wait. Branden was actually mentioning this to me today. Such a cool idea and you’re so sweet for thinking of me. ❤️
I read several of the Wheel of Time novels. I enjoyed them up to a point, then it got REALLY dark and felt as if Robert Jordan was no longer telling a story as much as finding ways to torture the characters (and the readers) for fun. At that point, I found other things to occupy my time. 🙂 But I know people who have read the whole series and loved it. To each his/ her own.
Thank you!! So this is all just leftovers from my stash that are roughly the same weight. I’m having fun finding bits that match the colors on the covers. 😊
Hi guys, for me The night circus was my best book of 2024, I loved it soooo much. I'm currently reading a thriller that you may like and maybe want to read together " Beautiful ugly " by Alice Feeney. It's perfect for a shared reading because you can have a lot of ideas on what's happening in the history and it's super thrilling and confusing. It's so frustrating that I can't talk to anyone about my ideas! Happy reading! 😉📚
Oooo this sounds good! Thank you! And I totally know that feeling about not being able to bounce thoughts and questions off of another person reading the same book.
I started my Wheel of Time journey with New Spring: Prequel to Wheel of Time. It really helped once Moiraine and Lan are introduced, it's their backstory and explains so much. Enjoy your reading.

I'm listening to "Remarkably Bright Creatures" and reading Stephen King's "Thinner". Thanks for sharing good stuff!
Thanks for listening. I've heard great things about Remarkably Bright Creatures. ❤️

Great vlog as usual. I keep seeing the Scott Lynch book everywhere. Need to pick up a copy. Enjoy your reading 📚
I know. We were in a Barnes and Noble the other day and they had a whole stack of them on a table.

Love to hear your thoughts on LEAD ME WHERE THE LIGHT IS OURS! I especially want to hear a guy's view of it. . IT IS SO THOUGHT PROVOKING ! Love!🌠🌟🌠🌟🌠
🤔Not sure I've hear of that one before. I will look into it. Thanks for the recommendation.

I read The Haunting of Velkwood today and would definitely recommend it. 👍
Oh cool! We will check it out.

Should be Go To Hell, auto correct did not approve, LOL
Wonderful! We are excited for the Live as well. So much to discuss! 😁
Oh good to hear about The Beguiled, I picked that book up second hand last year....I'll have to bump it up my tbr.

Wow! Thanks for the wonderful recommendations. We will for sure look out for these.

So glad to hear that! Thank you so much. Glad you liked the podcast.

In a past video you reviewed "God of the Woods", got it, read it, LOVED it! Thank you for the recommendation!❤
So glad you enjoyed it! I still think about from time to time. Such a memorable read. Thank you for watching!

Interesting, well when we get to that point down the line we will happily share our experiences with you all. ❤️
Hi Tayler! I love your book bag idea! I’m curious, what yarn are you using for your granny squares?
Thank you!! So this is all just leftovers from my stash that are roughly the same weight. I’m having fun finding bits that match the colors on the covers. 😊
When you held up the treasure hunt book, it was blurry at first and I thought the author was Joan Collins 😮!
😅😅that would be something!
