Aw man, I really hope that "books only available in audio format" doesn't become a trend. That Stephen Graham Jones book sounds kinda interesting to me but I don't do audio books, I've just never been able to focus on them at all. If authors really wanted to explore that as a format and encourage that you listen to an audiobook, I would rather they do something where your only buying option is the audiobook but you get a text ebook along with it, so that it's accessible for more people.
I somehow managed to score the arc for Sliver of Darkness on Netgalley and I'm super excited to read it.
You moved your bed! I love the comforter
Malka Older has several earlier books out! I am very much looking forward to both her and Hanna Alkaf's new stuff! ^_^
Adding so many of these to my TBR 😅
I need Alexis Henderson new book right now
Malka Older wrote infomocracy which I read and enjoyed earlier this year and this new novella release has me very excited!
❤️📚
Erik Larson put out a novel that's only available on audio and his website says: "Available only as an audiobook, because as Erik says, ghost stories are best told aloud." And I think that's an interesting concept for spooky things!
20:54 I’m so stoked that everyone in this room will someday be dead is going to be in the bunny reading list! So far it’s one of my favourite reads of the year, and I was really happy to be able to support a Canadian author too
Ashley Winstead also has a psychological thriller coming out this August called The Last Housewife. 🫢
Malka Older has a great short story collection!
Sade = Shah Day
I LOVE these videos – I rarely look at books that are coming out so i'm always surprised when i see the list since some are perfect for my reading taste or have repeat authors and i'm delighted to know they have a new book. It helps me build my TBR <3
Omg your hair! It’s GORGEOUS 😱😍🤩
You are mine and my wife's favorite booktuber. You more align with my reading tastes, but my wife really enjoys watching your videos. This was a good one and I got SOOOOOO many new books to look out for.
Have you read An Unkindness of Magicians by Kat Howard. Adult fantasy with a game and some romance but also lots of family dynamics. Howard also has Roses and Rot which is a sisters story but also fantasy, romance and a “competition” at a school. Loved them both!
Oooh that Jesse Q. Sutanto book sounds so good!
convinced grady hendrix had one good book because these new ones are not it
I also enjoyed Ophelia After All, looking forward to Racquel Marie's next book 😊
I love these videos because it's basically you doing all the work to find a good book for us to look out for.
I always get so sad when authors only release something on audiobook. I can't do audiobooks with my disability.
Sorcery of Thorns is a cozy fantasy romance if you're into that sort of thing lol. Very Howl's Moving Castle and dark academia vibes! 🙂
Your hair looks incredible!
Omg I added so many of these to my tbr. I read a book recently called The Anomaly, kinda gave me Simone St James vibes. You should check it out ✨
An angsty epic romance involving a game. Kayla.. have you heard of the Hunger Games? Lol jk
Some wonderful sounding books here. Just added A Sliver of Darkness to my ever-expanding TBR. I really enjoyed The Burning Girls by her. My favourite thriller book of the year (so far!) ☺
Your hair looks so good
I can never recall what I've mentioned before but I think you should look into Radiance by Grace Draven because I think I would consider it a somewhat cozy fantasy romance. Or if you haven't read Neverwhere or The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, those would be great, as well. I don't know if they fit your idea of cozy fantasy, but I think I'd consider pretty chill and/or atmospheric! The Neil Gaiman books would probably especially be good for you because they've got a sort of bizarre feel to them that I think you'd connect with.
hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me how you can find out about upcoming books! are there articles or something? I always want to make a list of anticipated reads but I never know about new and upcoming books until they're actually published or by videos like these.
can't wait for your thoughts on four aunties and a wedding!!! 👀
Oop guess this is my final push to start the Finley Donovan series!
Great video!
ughhh my first time seeing the Greywarren cover and I don’t love it
Could it be possible to pick less recent books for the book club? Its hard to afford newer books. Also, I think its kind of shitty/ableist to just release audiobook only books
Hmmmm how to sell a haunted house is not what I was expecting. I might skip it.
Thanks so much for sharing! Hope you love SECLUDED CABIN SLEEPS SIX!
Lute sounds a lot like The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas in a weird way…
According to amazon house of hunger IS the sequel to year of the witching
this is unrelated to the video but i just realized that i've been watching your videos and talking about how much i love your content to my friends for half a decade and yet this is the first comment i've ever left on one of your videos??
I hate how smudged A Shot In The Dark's cover is
Every time you describe your perfect adult romance, magical, game book, I just hear ACOTAR 😂
Love your shelves❤ also so creative to use the plug as a hammer😂
I added Where Sleeping Girls Lie to my Want to Read. After hearing you talk about why you are interested in Immortal Longings, I have a recommendation for you. It is called The Savior's Champion by Jenna Moreci and I think that pretty much ticks all the boxes that you mentioned. It is a fabulous book and I think you would love it!
neuroatypical here: it is very hard to read the shot in the dark cover due to the lack of contrast and a lot of colors going on. it doesnt help that the background isnt an off white or white, but a peachy color. the smudging makes it all the worst for me to process. maybe thats what the issue is?
