Reading More Books Made Me a Worse Reader

Fun Fantasy Books 2025-05-11 | Why I stopped reading so many books (and you should too)? Because, actually, reading more books made me a worse reader! It's the dark side of reading (almost) no one talks about!
How can it be that reading more books than ever made me so UNHAPPY? Why, if reading is my top passion, I feel like a complete failure? BUT also, let's talk about how I fixed it (I think) and what are the main habits or tips I believe you should implement to keep the joy for reading!

10 WEIRDEST Books Youll Ever Read

Fun Fantasy Books 2025-04-29 | These are the 10 STRANGEST, most bizarre, yet awesome books I've ever read! So much so that some are now all-time favorites.

What drove me to make this video is how bizarre some books can be, yet how amazing! Within these 10 books, you'll see 2 that are considered ergodic literature, 1 written through letters, 1 without chapters and just days passing by flowing through different perspectives, 1 that is horror-scifi-fantasy-lovecraftian madness! Well, all in all, AWESOME books!

The 15 MOST Successful Science Fiction Books Ever Written

Fun Fantasy Books 2025-04-22 | After much research and going down the rabbit hole of trying to get accurate data, here is a list of the top 15 best selling science fiction books, those books that sold millions of copies. I guess I always knew which books were massive book phenomena, but I was very surprised about how many books some of the authors sold (some I thought sold more copies!)

I tried to extract data directly from Goodreads to check how many of these books were being read through the different years, but they closed the developers API, and I could not access it! If for some reason you have access to their API key from before, please contact me!!

Let me know your thoughts about sci-fi through time! As well as how this compares with fantasy!

8 Great Books Ruined By Terrible Adaptations

Fun Fantasy Books 2025-03-31 | I watched these 8 book adaptations, and now I regret it! There is a reason why I've stopped watching the book adaptations from my favorite books: the pain! Here's why these 8 book adaptations (fantasy or sci-fi) absolutely FAILED in my opinion!

Honestly, sorry in advance for the semi-rant! But this is what happens when Hollywood ruins a perfect book!

The 20 Cozy Books Every Fantasy Reader Should Know

Fun Fantasy Books 2025-02-19 | Here are 20 must-read cozy books (mainly fantasy, but some are sci-fi), perfect for beginners or fantasy readers who want to get deeper into the cozy niche.

We will cover cozy fantasy books from 4 angles: 1) slice-of-life recommendations, 2) whimsical or fairytale-esque, 3) romantic, and 4) cozy. Throughout these recommendations, the level of "conflict" of the cozy fantasy book will be increasing, from very low conflict to fairly high stakes (but yet cozy feeling or tone!).

Top 10 Grimdark Fantasy Books of All Time

Fun Fantasy Books 2024-11-18 | Most of my favorite fantasy books are filled with grey characters, dark worlds and "realistic" (honestly heartbreaking) consequences! Let's discuss some of the best Grimdark fantasy books I've read!

Until I started researching for this video, I didn't realize that Grimdark had controversy. From the original concept of grimdark (that came from Warhammer 40k) to label our fantasy books grimdark, there is a spectrum! I saw active discussions on whether or not Malazan was Grimdark, or even Robin Hobb. So please take into consideration that! I tried to adjust to the description that I found of grimdark being: grey characters, a world filled with war and with a very not hopeful tomorrow, and somewhat realistic themes (that tackle less the "hero" vs "villain" and more the "we are all people doing whatever we can/want for our own goals).

I also used my little helper Thai to analyze and research Grimdark videos—her help was key to identifying 2 fantasy series that appeared repeatedly labeled as Grimdark but that I haven't read yet!

TOP 10 Things You Missed in Words of Radiance

Fun Fantasy Books 2024-11-11 | Did you know that THE END of Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson is somewhere written in The Way of Kings or Words of Radiance? I reread Words of Radiance to find every little detail that might have an impact- finding for you 10 key moments that I was only able to catch after the reread (and investing muuuultiple hours down the rabbit hole of Reddit, Coppermind, and 17th Shard!).

👀 PLEASE, be aware that there are spoilers for The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Oathbringer & Rhythm of War. I haven't read (yet!!) the released chapters of Wind and Truth, so that should be safe! I am also including some bits and pieces about the lore of the Cosmere (shards / Adonalsium). But I tried to keep it safe so that it doesn't spoil other Cosmere series.

I hope this is as useful and mind-blowing to you as it was to me! Please let me know your thoughts, and let's discuss it!

10 Important Things You Missed in The Way of Kings (Stormlight Archive)

Fun Fantasy Books 2024-09-09 | Did you know that THE END of Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson is somewhere written in The Way of Kings or Words of Radiance? I reread The Way of Kings to find every little detail that might have an impact- finding for you 10 CRITICAL moments that I was only able to catch after the reread (and investing more than 20 hours down the rabbit hole of Reddit, Coppermind, and 17th Shard!).

👀 PLEASE, be aware that there are spoilers for The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Oathbringer & Rhythm of War. I haven't read (yet!!) the released chapters of Wind and Truth, so that should be safe! I am also including some bits and pieces about the lore of the Cosmere (shards / Adonalsium). But I tried to keep it safe so that it doesn't spoil other Cosmere series.

10 Must-Read Authors of All Time for Beginners

Fun Fantasy Books 2024-08-26 | These 10 authors are my favorite writers of all time- and here is a guide on how to start with them (which are their best entre-level books and my favorite books of them).

After reading fantasy for the best part of the last 15 years, these 10 authors are my favorite. The ones that never miss to score 5-star reads!

Of course, a list like this is very nuanced- there are some great authors such as Robin Hobb or JR Tolkien that I haven't read enough to include them in my list!

After reading more than 400 fantasy books and being a fantasy reader for 10+ years, this is my ultimate guide to getting into fantasy. These 20 fantasy books are perfect for newbies, and readers that want to start reading fantasy (adult fantasy mainly, with 2 fantasy young adult books).

I will divide the guide based on different subgenres, allowing us to cover cozy fantasy, historical or magical realism, fantasy romance, and epic fantasy!

Top 10 Longest Fantasy Standalones To Binge-Read NOW

Fun Fantasy Books 2024-07-29 | Out of the 83 fantasy standalones I read, these 10 LONG fantasy standalones are worth the page count! Every page of these big fantasy books is worth your time!

I used for the page count the number of pages that is displayed in Goodreads- this is a proxy as it will heavily change based on the word count and the edition! I tried using word count but it proved challenging as most books didn't have the information logged!

Top 25 Underrated Must-Read Fantasy Books

Fun Fantasy Books 2024-07-15 | I've read nearly 400 fantasy books and some of the GREATEST books were also HIDDEN gems! So here are my top 25 most underrated fantasy books!

This is what I did to curate the list! 🧐
- I took all the books I had read
- Filtered only for those I rated with 4 ⭐️ or more
- Then used only those books that had less than 35K ratings on Goodreads (as a proxy to see if it is a hidden gem or a somewhat popular book)
I gave all those books a score based on those 2 parameters (stars and also the number of ratings) and that provided the scoring that I will be using to rank the books here!

Top 10 Longest Fantasy Series To Binge-Read NOW

Fun Fantasy Books 2024-06-24 | These 10 LONG fantasy series are worth the page count! Every page of these big fantasy books is worth your time. Yes, these are big series, BUT they have the potential to become your next favorite read!

I used a little helper 🐱 to help us size how big the series are! She did such a great job, I hope you agree!

I used "Reading Length" to calculate the estimated word count for each book or series! However, it is an approximation, so take the word count with a pinch of salt! Regardless, these are some of my biggest fantasy series, and I believe you'll love them!
