  I don’t always watch The Library Ladder, but when I do, I watch three hours of content. Incredible video!! You are my aspiration.

  Bernard Cornwell&apos;s Warlord Chronicles are my favourite versions of Arthurian retellings.<br>Absolutely gripped me from start to finish.

  I&apos;ve read Mists of Avalon so many times it&apos;s falling apart! I&apos;ve been into Aruthurian legend most of my adult life, am 78. This books original take is literally like no other. It&apos;s very mystical and magical, involving the Isle of Avalon. Pulls you in. I literally have a hard time putting it down.

  I only drink whiskey. I only drink on Fridays. I only drink two glasses to unwind, three if it&apos;s been a particularly hard week. I&apos;m a creature of habits. I see a video of yours come out, I deliberately put it on my Watch Later list and wait until Friday night, while having my whiskey at home, to watch it. Notebook at the ready to write down recommendations, then go hunting for them. This is one such Friday, and it&apos;s one of those things that makes life remotely bearable at this point. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge on the subject, and here&apos;s to many more Friday nights like this, just sitting back and watching The Library Ladder.

  The Once and Future King by T.H. White was the best King Arthur book I&apos;ve read.

  The Pendragon Cycle is super underrated!

  Mary Stewart, 100%, all the way, all my life after 5th grade, no looking back.

  Nice to hear Mark Twain shouted out here! A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur&apos;s Court is one of my favorite fantasy novels, as it were. It&apos;s funny, satirical and very engrossing.

  It&apos;s weird to me that people would say that Mary Stewart&apos;s books give the female characters short shrift, because while they might not be the focus very often, when they are, they&apos;re very well done. Her take on Morgause in particular is one of my favorite villains in literature. She&apos;s a thoroughly nasty character, but in a nuanced way that lets you know exactly how she got that way.
