There are definitely some beautiful covers going on. From the synopses you read, I think The Gathering would appeal to me the most.
Ohhhh I am really interested in The Gathering as well!! If you do get a chance to pick it up I will be so excited to hear your thoughts!!!
Please do more of these anticipated release videos! I love learning about new releases 🤩
AWWWW Thank you SO much for saying this comment, I truly appreciate it because I was worrying that people may get tired of these, but theres SO many more releases I want to share so I will make more of them and not feel guilty! Thank you for sharing!!!!💯🥰😭🙌💌🙌
I can’t wait for lady Macbeth. Other releases I’m excited are the honey witch, a witch guide to magical in keeping, the familiar and fog & fireflies. 📚☕️🕯️
OHHHH YES Allllll the releases you mentioned as well I have my eye on too (ESPecially the familiar) !!! Also thank you so much for mentioning fog & fireflies because I had not heard of this one and I JUST now added it to my TBR - it looks AMAZING!!!🤯🙌💯📚
Thanks for always bringing books I’ve never heard of!
If you’re interested in books like the Lady Macbeth, a few years ago I went down a Medusa rabbit hole. I’d known of her of course, but not her story. My kid did a presentation about her, this was the pandemic so he was on zoom school, and as I listened to this boy explain her story (from a movie he watched I’m guessing), I’m thinking this doesn’t sound right, she sounds like a victim not a villain. So I got a few books about her, my favorite is Medusa by Rosie Hewlett. The cover is gorgeous, but the tag lines, “Gorgon. Killer. Monster. Victim. Survivor. Protector.” “You know her name, you know her story, just not the right one.” And the first lines hooked me, “I was beautiful once. I would not recommend it. That might come as a surprise to you. A lot of the things I am about to tell you probably will, because there is a lot this world does not know about me. You see, my story has been retold and reimagined so many times over, sometimes even I do not recognize it.”
Anytime there’s an opportunity to talk about that book I do.
So my sons project, that other boy had written the script that Medusa seduced Poseidon, after telling my son what that really seems like (at an age appropriate level) he refused to say his lines that way, I was so so proud of him. 😊
AWW I am so glad that I was able to share some new titles with this video!!!! That is exactly what I hope for when I make these!!!💌🙌💯🙏
OMG I am SO interested in Medusa and her story and also stories that reclaim the narrative (kind of like what Madeline Miller did with Circe!!!)
I just added Medusa by Rosie Hewlett to my tbr because WOW, those opening lines😱🤯🙌💯👏!!!! You have just inspired me SO MUCH to do a Medusa themed video, where I read as many of the books on Medusa that I can!!! I did something similar to this with Frankenstein last year and it was such an amazing reading experience immersing myself in the story that way!!
Also I LOVE that your son rethought the narrative he had learned about her, that is so amazing!!!!😭😭😭

The Shirley Jackson shirt 😍😍😍
Grey Dog sounds so intriguing. I've pretty much heard of zero of these books so I've been furiously taking notes 😊
AWWW Thank you! I just LOVE this shirt!!! Also I am so happy to hear that you hadn't already heard of all of these!!!!!!! I am always trying to hunt for the ones I feel like I haven't seen everyone already talk about so that's amazing because I feel like I did good!!😭🙌👏💌🥰
Great video Mikala. I'm really looking forward to The Gathering, The Bad Ones, Lady Mcbeth , the Tower and so witches we became.😊
Thank you so much my friend!!! 🥰💗💖 YES okay I LOVE all the titles you named, I think those ones sound especially fantastic and I can't wait to read them!!!
Omg, how have I not heard of these?? The only one on my radar was Lady Macbeth, but I added so many to my tbr. Grey Dog sounds amazing! Soooo many fantastic covers as well 🌟 looks like I got some book shopping to do...
YESSSSSS the covers of these are just SO phenomenal! The Graphic Designers these days are just selling me on EVERYTHING!!!!!!!💌🥰🤯💯
Excited for all those you mentioned and also Don’t let the forest in (horror with ace rep), The blonde dies first (horror comedy), and the white guy dies first (horror anthology) to name just a few - so many gems coming out this year I’m excited!
My favorite part of doing these Anticipated Releases videos is when you guys share your picks, because I had not heard of any of the three you mentioned and now I have added all to my tbr, they sound phenomenal!!!!!! Especially Don't Let the Forest In OMGGGGG!!!!!!🙌😻🤯💯
Looking forward to hearing your reviews once these are released!
Thank you so much, I am so excited for these! I actually JUST got my hands on a few books from my last "anticipated releases" video so hoping I will be able to get to those this month!!!🤞🤞🤞
I also thought of 30 Days of Night! I love that movie
YESSS right?! My mind immediately went to that movie! Now I want to re-watch it its been so long but I remember loving it!!!
The Shirley Jackson T shirt! 🤩🤩🤩
I LOVE it so much!!!! 🙌💖📚💗💯
Wauw the cover of So Witches we Became 😍😍😍😍
YES ME TOOO I think it is just gorgeous!!!🤯🌺🌼💯🙌💖💌
The covers are giving 😍😍
OKAY right?!?!?! SO many of these covers just blew me away!!!
alot of great female thrillers and fiction books excellent cause its international womans month which means im going to be even more proactively reading female thrillers
YES I absolutely love that as well, I have written down so many female and/or POC authors that I want to read from and I realize that I have to be more proactive about reading from more international voices!!! I am forming a new challenge for myself around this point right now!!! 🙌💯💗📚
@@mikalareads am thankful that your making an effort to read more POC authors
Grey Dog is getting a lot of hype lately! I put it on my TBR.
I've seen Piglet around, and the title reminded me of the Spanish film "Piggy" that was released last year. Looking at the synopsis, this book is not the same. That is a horror movie, and since I saw it around, I assumed the book was horror (or thriller) too and found it to be a funny coincidence. 😅 Anyway, that's totally random.
I...LOVE...the synopsis for So the Witches We Became. So tired of "boys will be boys".
I love all of the historical fiction finding its way into your TBR! It's a far more interesting genre than it sounds (at least in my opinion). 😆
I am SO excited to get my hands on Grey Dog and see what I will think, from the sounds of it I think it could be a new favorite!!! Also Ohh When I first seen the book Piglet I was wondering if it was a horror at first LOL! I don't think I seen the movie Piggy but I am looking it up now!!!
I totally agree, So the Witches We Became sounds SO refreshing!!!
RIGHT yessss, I feel like historical fiction is just hitting different for me all of a sudden!!!!💯😻🙌📚👏🎉
These sound good lady Macbeth I definitely wanna check out, and the bad ones as well.
I agree those two look FANTASTIC!!!!! Also the covers of those two are just magical works of art!!! 😻😻😻🙌🤯💗
I’m catching up on past videos! I actually just finished The Bad Ones and I didn’t care for it. It’s sort of about some teens finding out that a slumber party game (light as a feather, bloody mary, etc) is real, but the game in the book is mostly just dumb. And it’s too long to be a stupid-fun YA horror romp. I liked the author’s previous book Our Crooked Hearts but I guess that was a one-off!
Im so sorry for my late response my friend, I am so behind!!! Also THANK YOU for letting me know about The Bad Ones!!!!! The way you described it and because I value your opinion so much and feel like we usually align on tastes I think I am going to be removing this one from my tbr now! Im glad to make these videos for this reason too so people can let me know which books I don't need to use my time on because I definitely need to know haha!!!👏💖📚🙌🙏
I have been trying to get to Piglet for ages! I haven't seen many people talking about it so looking forward to your thoughts.
So I actually JUSt had it checked out from my library, I mamanged to be one of the first ones in line to grab it, but didn't read it in time so got put to the back of the list arg!😬 I put myself back on a hold though and will DEF prioritize it once it comes back around to me hahha!! 🙌🥰
@@mikalareads well if you like buddy reads I’d be up for buddy reading Piglet when the time comes. Again, no pressure!
Ahhh I am just seeing this now and I actually JUST finished reading Piglet TODAY HAHA!! I actually started it last night and could NOT put it down! But I would definitely love to buddy read a book together in the future!!! ❤️
@@mikalareads well that’s promising to know about Piglet! Even more excited to get to it now!
