Okay, first of all, the shirt hair color combo is serving. Secondly, I’m always amazed how you find all these on Goodreads when half the time my app is struggling to stay open 😂
I love watching my goodreads feed within 24 hours of these videos and seeing how many people definitely watched this series because we all add books from it 😂
Joe Abercrombie is one of my all time favourite authors. He balances darkness and humor so well in my opinion. And his character work is truly unparalleled.
it feels like vampires are back in a big way!! I have Fang Fiction on my kindle as an e-arc, I really hope the main character is fat because her other romance featured a plus size FMC and I loved it
The amount of excitement I feel whenever I see one of these videos pop up in my subscriptionbox is insane! This list was an absolute gem: a new Charlotte McConaghy, V.E. Schwab ánd a debut that sounds incredible (Girl in the Bog): I can't wait
I just read The Favorites and it's my favorite book of the year so far! It does have a love story at the center of it, but it's definitely literary fiction. It's also got documentary film transcripts interspersed throughout. It's also thrilling as the whole book is building up to this big reveal of something shocking that happened at the olympics, but it's by no means a thriller. It's also a retelling of Wuthering Heights! I was living my best life with it but I'm also a figure skater lol
When Dead and Breakfast comes out you should make a blog reading all the cozy mysteries that use that pun (that I had to scroll through trying to find this book)
That Kiersten White cover is gorgeous! I don’t know if you mentioned this in a previous video, but did you see Julia Bartz has a new one coming out next April?
I was somehow BLESSED with an arc of The Favorites and I'm currently reading it for lalathon (stories about obsession) and really enjoying it. It's super different than her other books though. I would not call it a romance but there is a relationship at the center of the story.
I have so many books I am waiting for to come out this year that I couldn't possibly name them all here. But you may like Lady Macbeth by Ava Reid, other than that my other recommendations are high Fantasy or Romance which I know aren't your thing. It's pronouced Ki-ron, the ferryman for the dead 26:37
Oh, I'm excited for Mother-Eating. I really enjoy books told in an atypical format, and I always love anything related to Marie Antoinette and/or Texas, lol. And I might pick up the new Marisha Pessl. I quite liked Night Film and have had Special Topics in Calamity Physics on my shelf for a while. I actually had no idea she was writing YA, somehow I missed Neverworld Wake. I just put it on hold at my local library.
I got a recommendation for everyone I normally do horror and thriller and every so often a contemporary gets me. Husband's by Holly Gramazio is a refreshing new concept and I can't put it down. I haven't finished it but top 3 for the year. Give it a try
Seems like Wild Dark Shore is inspired by the seed vault on Svalbard. 2025 seems like it should be so far in the future, but it’s not 😂 Loved the cover of The Favourites!
Ooo if you haven't - it would be interesting for a video if you read books by characters with the name Kayla and see which Kayla you relate to the most :)
Stephen Graham Jones is also releasing a vampire novel next year 👀 it's a historical vampire revenge story I'm sooo excited to see what he does with vampires
So off topic, but I went to open Storygraph to log some recs (but I was logged out) and basically in the process of logging in again, I've managed to recover a long lost password feature on my phone. So thank you for accidentally being IT support 🎉
I went to a book event where Ashley Winstead said This Book Will Bury Me is about a woman who gets involved in online slueth pages/communities trying to solve "the crime of the century"
The brazilian cover of But not too bold (Bem mal me quer) is way better! But I still like some elements of this one, I think the odd thing is the blue tarantula...
I was so excited for fan fiction because I loved Kate's debut romance but it fell sooo flat and felt so amateur/childish despite dealing with really heavy topics
EYEBALLS! Sorry. Had to. Also the list I need you to read to know if I have to read it haha: Fang Fiction Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil Girl in the Creek Model Home Thankkkksss
did you have like ocean waves or rain in the background?? i was hearing that throughout your video 😫 otherwise, fantastic video these are definitely my fave videos of yours!!
I read Ghost Eaters by Clay McLeod Chapman recently and found it laughably bad, so I don’t overly suggest trying out Wake up and Open Your Eyes. But hey, maybe he’s improved.
Respectfully, you hair doesnt look like bacon today. 😂 This lavender color really suits you. I'm looking at this video knowing I read in french and book usually are translated a year after.
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
okay but your hair and this lavender on you is EATING!!!!!
But is it eating bacon? lol jk totally agree 😂
ahhhhh thank you!!!
oh she left NOOOO CRUMBS with this look
this actually might be my favourite series, i get SO excited to find new books to anticipate 😂
I don’t know enough about color theory understanding why this lavender top is working so well on you, but it is WORKING! 💜🔥
Okay, first of all, the shirt hair color combo is serving. Secondly, I’m always amazed how you find all these on Goodreads when half the time my app is struggling to stay open 😂
I always watch these with Goodreads open and add so many books to my TBR shelf! Very grateful for these videos!
I love watching my goodreads feed within 24 hours of these videos and seeing how many people definitely watched this series because we all add books from it 😂
Ditto
I love how I can easily read a 500+ page novel but reading a Goodread’s synopsis is beyond me 😂
hahhahahahahhaa
This is a mood 😂😭 the second I see more than one paragraph in a synopsis, my mind checks out
Lilac? Lavender? Light purple is so pretty on you!! 🤩
I think the cover of “but not too bold” is nice but the spider graphic quality is so different from the tile design that it looks out of place?
Yes and I think if some of them where rotated and dispersed into the background it would look better
ooooh yeah maybe that's what's throwing it off for me
That’s what threw me off, too. The blue spider against that soft background was stark.
Thanks for giving me 40+ more books to add to my already impossible tbr
the cover for girl in the creek is sick as hell whoa
It's so creepy and pretty at the same time, I'm obsessed
Books aside that lilac colour looks beautiful on you! ❤
21:14 I cackled at that “oh no!”
I just picked up the first Wayward Children book today at a book swap! Had no idea what it even was but I liked the cover! Now I'm excited!
Joe Abercrombie is one of my all time favourite authors. He balances darkness and humor so well in my opinion. And his character work is truly unparalleled.
there are so many upcoming books i’m excited for ❤ giving me something to look forward to in the near and far future
A sprint AND my favorite series upload in the same day?! 🤩
I always look forward to these videos! They help me build my TBRs every year. Thanks so much for doing all the work and making my reading life easier!
These videos always get me so hyped for the months ahead!!🥰
So much to look forward to 😍😍😍😍 I didn’t know about most of these upcoming releases! You’ve made my whole day 🥳🥳💃
it feels like vampires are back in a big way!! I have Fang Fiction on my kindle as an e-arc, I really hope the main character is fat because her other romance featured a plus size FMC and I loved it
I read it last month and can confirm the main character is fat!
Some of these books sound right up my alley and I look forward to adding them to my TBR. Thanks always, Kayla!
These videos are the only way I find out about new books at this point
The amount of excitement I feel whenever I see one of these videos pop up in my subscriptionbox is insane!
This list was an absolute gem: a new Charlotte McConaghy, V.E. Schwab ánd a debut that sounds incredible (Girl in the Bog): I can't wait
This is one of my favorite videos that you put out. Always gives me new books to add to my TBR.
Thank you for making these lists 👍❤️
Omg a new Rivers Solomon!!
I just read The Favorites and it's my favorite book of the year so far! It does have a love story at the center of it, but it's definitely literary fiction. It's also got documentary film transcripts interspersed throughout. It's also thrilling as the whole book is building up to this big reveal of something shocking that happened at the olympics, but it's by no means a thriller. It's also a retelling of Wuthering Heights! I was living my best life with it but I'm also a figure skater lol
oooh thank you so much for explaining the vibes!!
This color on you is so great!!!🫶🏻
When Dead and Breakfast comes out you should make a blog reading all the cozy mysteries that use that pun (that I had to scroll through trying to find this book)
I'm excited about Fang Fiction! I loved her previous book, One to Watch.
Thank you! Lots of new books to add to my TBR!
If you like gothic sapphic monster romance you should check out Someone to build a nest in. I read it earlier this year and enjoyed it
That Kiersten White cover is gorgeous! I don’t know if you mentioned this in a previous video, but did you see Julia Bartz has a new one coming out next April?
I just started an ARC of Lucy Undying and I’m loving it so far!
I was somehow BLESSED with an arc of The Favorites and I'm currently reading it for lalathon (stories about obsession) and really enjoying it. It's super different than her other books though. I would not call it a romance but there is a relationship at the center of the story.
i’m so excited for the new ve schwab it’s so my vibe
omg a thriller set in my home town of Richmond, VA?! might have to pick it up just because of that lol
I found so many to look forward to, thanks for doing the work for me.
I have so many books I am waiting for to come out this year that I couldn't possibly name them all here. But you may like Lady Macbeth by Ava Reid, other than that my other recommendations are high Fantasy or Romance which I know aren't your thing.
It's pronouced Ki-ron, the ferryman for the dead 26:37
Love these videos I will definitely be reading Fang Fiction
Just preordered A Grim Reapers Guide to Catching a Killer 😍
You are singlehandedly responsible for my tbr growing 😂
happy to be of service 💕
Wake up bestie Kayla posted another upcoming releases video!
this is so helpful because i feel like i only ever see the same 10 new releases and none of them are things i want to read.
I LIVE for this series.
In terms of Sapphic monster romance, I'd love to see your review of Someone you can build a nest in!
Noted, thanks for the rec!!
@@BooksandLala We do have pretty different tastes, but it was pretty weird, I feel like 😅 So maybe it will be your thing too!
Oh, I'm excited for Mother-Eating. I really enjoy books told in an atypical format, and I always love anything related to Marie Antoinette and/or Texas, lol. And I might pick up the new Marisha Pessl. I quite liked Night Film and have had Special Topics in Calamity Physics on my shelf for a while. I actually had no idea she was writing YA, somehow I missed Neverworld Wake. I just put it on hold at my local library.
Neverworld Wake is sooooo good. Granted I read it years ago but it is very much my taste
I definitely want to check out But Not Too Bold ❤I love the cover ❤. Thanks you give such great book 📚 suggestions.
love a monster romance. love a sapphic monster romance even more!!!
I got a recommendation for everyone I normally do horror and thriller and every so often a contemporary gets me. Husband's by Holly Gramazio is a refreshing new concept and I can't put it down. I haven't finished it but top 3 for the year. Give it a try
The Husbands is one of my favourite books of the year!!
I'm loving all of these vampire books and I cannot wait for so many of these cover reveals, especially for Immortals!
Immortals is gonna be so pretty I bet
Grady Hendrix had a cover reveal for his new book too! I’m very excited
Uggggh I know I somehow forgot to mention it, I LOVE the cover too
@@BooksandLala I’m sooooo excited!!!! Witches!!!!!!
@@BooksandLala also Julia bartz has a new synopsis on Goodreads for a book called The Last Session coming out in April in the states I think.
Seems like Wild Dark Shore is inspired by the seed vault on Svalbard.
2025 seems like it should be so far in the future, but it’s not 😂 Loved the cover of The Favourites!
I'd never heard of that before, but now I'm so intrigued!
I love these videos!!! ❤
Thank You for the recs.
A queer vampire cozy mystery? I absolutely need that!
I love the art nouveau style of art, so I hope the fairy godmother book will start a new trend for cover art.
Ooo if you haven't - it would be interesting for a video if you read books by characters with the name Kayla and see which Kayla you relate to the most :)
im so glad vampires are fully back!
Love these videos!
the Brazilian (original pub) cover for But Not Too Bold is literally perfect ... why did Tor do this book so bad? lol
Stephen Graham Jones is also releasing a vampire novel next year 👀 it's a historical vampire revenge story I'm sooo excited to see what he does with vampires
So off topic, but I went to open Storygraph to log some recs (but I was logged out) and basically in the process of logging in again, I've managed to recover a long lost password feature on my phone. So thank you for accidentally being IT support 🎉
i had to stop the video to preorder V.E. Schwab's book 😫
Lucy Undying is clearly from the Pre-Raphaelbite school of art. 😂
V.E. Schwab is doing queer vampires ?????? 🙏🙏🙏 thank you for bringing me the news that matters honest to god
I went to a book event where Ashley Winstead said This Book Will Bury Me is about a woman who gets involved in online slueth pages/communities trying to solve "the crime of the century"
I love these videos!!!
The brazilian cover of But not too bold (Bem mal me quer) is way better! But I still like some elements of this one, I think the odd thing is the blue tarantula...
TCOBK is Mary Pearson's adult debut! There is some spice to it 🎉
I was so excited for fan fiction because I loved Kate's debut romance but it fell sooo flat and felt so amateur/childish despite dealing with really heavy topics
EYEBALLS! Sorry. Had to.
Also the list I need you to read to know if I have to read it haha:
Fang Fiction
Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil
Girl in the Creek
Model Home
Thankkkksss
My childhood crush was the French spider lady in James and the Giant Peach so I will def be reading But Not Too Bold *nodding emoji*
My name is cecily and the fairy godmother book was a jumpscare lol
did you have like ocean waves or rain in the background?? i was hearing that throughout your video 😫 otherwise, fantastic video these are definitely my fave videos of yours!!
Joe Abercrombie is awesome!
as someone who’s name is finlay, i got slightly offended at the first book LMAO
The river has roots is coming from one of the authors of this is how you lose the time war. I’m definitely adding it to my 2025 TBR.
🏒I know you are a hockey fan. I live in Florida so “Go Panthers” 🐆 LOL!!
John Marrs shared more info about his new book on his Instagram 😊
I read Ghost Eaters by Clay McLeod Chapman recently and found it laughably bad, so I don’t overly suggest trying out Wake up and Open Your Eyes. But hey, maybe he’s improved.
there has to been a better spider graphic for the But Not Too Bold cover… the gradients are not it
"muchly anticipated" ok cousin greg!!
Me watching these videos: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!
*reads the most unhinged blurb*
"...................that's for me."
Here for the relatable behaviour.
WAIT NEW MARISHA PESSL?!
I will read Wake Up and Open Your Eyes. I am always curious about other people’s political views, and their fears about our current society.
Joe Abercrombie is really going to get me to finally read one of his books because of the cover, huh?🕯️
These are always dangerous ang potentially expensive videos. I love it ✌️
OMG OMG A NEW MARISHA PESSL
52 seconds ago?? Right on time!
Can you do a Kayla vlog 🤗 characters or authorssss
A new Charlotte McConaghy?! 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
I can't believe we have to wait until 2025 😭 I need it
Amal El-Mohtar is releasing a solo book?!?!?!
Respectfully, you hair doesnt look like bacon today. 😂 This lavender color really suits you. I'm looking at this video knowing I read in french and book usually are translated a year after.
VE Schwab is an auto buy for me
I think if the spider was a different colour it would look better, maybe?
Video idea: Only reading books from authors called Kayla lol
Anyone interested in reading my books ? ❤🎉
Darkly is maybe my favorite cover. If it were a sticker or shirt, I’d buy it. But I think you just said YA so I’m gonna pass on reading it.
I need Model Home in my life
