be excited about that haven't even been
announced yet new Richard dosman book

already off on a tangent I in my brain I
want to keep this video very concise cuz
we've got a lot of books talk about but
here we go he has started doing a
podcast called the rest is entertainment
where he talks about like movie and TV
if you don't know Richard Osman worked
in TV for many many years before he
started writing books he like created a
lot of famous TV shows I think like Deal
or No Deal I don't know if he created
but he like created a lot of really
famous particularly game TV shows here
in the UK so that's predominant what he
talks about but he did speak about his
new book the other day and he was like
yeah I've barely written it I got to get
it in by
March so there orig but coming out this
yeah that we don't know anything about
or we know a little bit about we know
the vague synopsis about a father
daughter father and daughter-in-law

most inpl releases for the first half
the year and I've got over 40 books to
talk about 40 books this is I don't like
to read synopsis to you in this video I
like to turn up and just tell you the
the thing the things that stand out to
me but I like to Freewheel it basically
I have just gone through and read the
synopses of all of these books so like
it's not like I'm underprepared I have
read sses all of them but I'm not going
to read the synopses out to you I'm
going to tell you what I think is going
to make you most excited I'm going to
you know I'm going to phrase it my own
way there's no plagiarism here I'm
saying people who read SN are
plagiarizing I will speak for myself
that's a horrible thing to say no it's
not I'm feeling nervous because we want
to keep this book this video is Snappy
we don't want it to be 40 minutes long
um and we got over 40 books to talk
about so we should just begin shall we
and I'm going to tell you about all the
books that you should be excited about
coming out this year really I have no
business talking about 40 books I'm
excited coming I'm excited about coming
out in the first half of the year when I
read about 35 new releases every year
that come out that year
so ignore that um but let's get into it
shall we I'm excited for a lot of these
books I get very excited talking about
new releases because I'm just they're so
full of promise I just want to say I'm
putting the release dates we're going in
order of release date however some of
these release dates are UK ones some of
them won't be UK on some of them will be
the US ones and the book won't come out
then in the UK and I just didn't know
that the new we children B comes out in
in February in the UK but it's already
out in the US so I've got it down as
coming out in February because it's not
out for me but some of these books I
have got the release date wrong for UK
and some of them it will be the UK
release date and those us will be like
what that's coming out here in the
US moving on okay first we have got the
ARs by Rachel Hawkins I have read
Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins and I
really did enjoy it this one sounds very
intriguing it's about this a who dies
she's very notorious I think she was
like kidnapped at some point she's got
like millions and millions of pounds of
wealth and her wealth goes to her
adopted son and at first he ain't
interested in it he's like no I'm all
right and he goes off gets goes to the
countryside gets married but then his
uncle dies and it goes back to him again
he's like okay right I'm coming back I
think it's to do with him and his wife
going back to this house and family
secrets family tensions maybe someone's
going to murder for for the money who
knows you know roach Hawkins I've only
read one book but for me it was very
like fun Thriller you know it was very
like we're here for shits and giggles
we're here to have fun we're not going
to take us you seriously and that's the
ARs then we have the night of the storm
by nishita perek this is a debut and
it's set during a hurricane and I
believe a woman and her son who they've
recently the woman's recently gone
through a divorce left the the the son's
father everyone in their apartment block
gets chucked out cuz they're like it's
not going to be safe in the hurricane so
they go to her sister's family home the
husband's a little bit weird then I
think some of the husband's family turn
up and then someone dies and they're all
trapped in this house in the storm I saw
the Drone drama Mick I just love it I
love an isolated close Circle M mystery
I feel like that I didn't read a lot
last year I actually didn't read I've
got a video coming up where I'm going to
recommend the 10 best murder mysteries
I've read in the past year and it was
actually a struggle I'm not reading
enough murder mysteries I feel like we
had a we had like a increase in them and
then they're dying again and I'm not
happy about it I'm really really excited
about this one it sounds incredible I
the cover I feel like it's so aspheric
I'm so ready for it then we have only if
you're lucky by Stacy winingham who is
an author I've somehow read their two
first books even though they're not like
an incredible author to me I've read
them this one very interestingly is
about female friendships is about I
think a at University and one of them is
like this star girl you know the other
one's shy and they become friends and
they move in together and then a nearby
like guy from another what's the word
frat I don't know American words is
murdered and the star
girl hey looking
she goes missing and um shy girl is like
going to investigate you know which is
interesting because Stacy willingham's
first two books have been very much
based I feel like on a little bit older
characters very much to do with like
couples more domestic Thrillers she
hasn't uncovered female friendships yet
I'm intrigued to see how she does that
then we have the Myst your guest by Nita
pros this is the sequel to the maid
we're following Molly the Maid again at
her hotel and a murder happens I think
it's like a really well-known mystery
author is murdered is it his secretary
is it the door man has Molly got
something to do with it but Molly's
going to investigate it again and I did
enjoy the maid I didn't love it but I
think it was a fun mystery so I'm
excited for the next one in the series
to come out then we've got one that I
actually already own I got a advanced
copy well I think this is a finished
copy but I got it Advanced is heli and
death by Oscar Jensen this is scandy

you out at the start of this toin heli
art historian Danish expert and owner of
several excellent Scandinavian jumpers

snowbound North umbrian Mansion for a
10-year reunion with old University

Tech entrepreneur makes some shocking
revelations at the table then these are
followed by an apparent suicide and
group faces ATT test to their wits and
their trust snowed in and cut off H
torbin decides to draw upon all the
tricks of golden age detectives past in
order to solve the mystery this is very
exciting this is very exciting I'm
really excited for this one oh I think
this is going to be great look at it I
love a floor plan that's how you get me
so I I probably need to get to this soon
I feel like because it snowed in it

okay let me go like rearrange some of my
videos so that maybe I can read this in
February then we have got no one can
know by Kate is Marshall I haven't read
any Kate is Marshall's adult Thrillers

I'm really intrigued so this one a girly
and her husband she finds out she's

and she's like okay my love there's
something I haven't told you I actually
own my old family home with my sisters
We Own It joint we can't sell it but we
can go live in it rentree okay only
thing I hav told you is my parents were
murdered there and people maybe think I
did
it a profound Silence has entered the
chat so I think it's about her reuniting
with her sisters mystery who murdered
their parents etc etc very excited for
it then we have one another one that I
got an arc of death on the litania by RL
Graham litania is one of the most
luxurious ocean liners was in
1915 and there's a murder on board
there's a murder on board and we're
stuck on a boat and someone killed
someone a man's body is discovered and
lock up with a key inside and no gun to
be found so he's shot but the room is
locked locked room met a mystery I love
a good luck met a mystery I think I'm
going to enjoy that then we have come
and get it by Kylie Reed who is the
author of such a fun age this one has
very mixed reviews already a lot of
people are giving it three stars that
I've seen have got the arcs of it it's
about this professor and students and
money indiscretion bad behavior desire
consumption Reckless abandon I'm a
little bit nervous for it really liked
what such a fun age was saying what it
was
doing I I'm interested and I love the
cover I think the cover is very fun but
a lot of people are saying it's kind of
just like people at College Behaving
Badly so then we have bride by earie Haw
there's a few in this video that I'm not
going to spend too long on but they're
my most excited ones CU they were on my
24 books read in 2024 video and this was
one of them it's a paranormal romance
between a werewolf and a vampire who
have to go into an arrange marriage to
preserve the alliance the the tentative
Alliance but their Rivals between their
Clans and you're going home
sweetie that's what it is I'm very
excited
Aly she can just keep writing you just
keep writing and I'll keep reading you
know I love you Ally I love you then
we've got 14 days by the author's Guild
I wrote down it's by Margaret Atwood I
think it's edited by Margaret Atwood and
it's set in this apartment Block in the
early days of the covid-19 lockdown
and they meet on the roof every night
like the residents of this apartment
block meet on the roof every night and
like chatting about their lives and it's
written by various authors but I think
that you don't know who's written each
chapter so each author has written a
different chapter but you don't know who
it as who are some of the other authors
oh Celeste ing Emma Donahue Neil Gaiman
John Grisham so yeah there's a lot of
really well-known authors I think this
is an interesting idea and also not
knowing who wrote each chapter I wonder
if I'll be able to like pick him out or
if anyone will be able to pick them out
next next we have an education and
Malice by St Gibson some people said
this is a sequel to A Dar of blood I
don't think it is I think it's just
another vampirey book we're set at this
like School for Girls isolated and car
Miller's there car Miller is a student
yep yep I'm excited for this one dark
Academia you know it's coming out in
February I feel like it should come out
in the Autumn or you know what I mean it
should have come out that's a bit late
cuz then we're getting into Springtime
and like we're in the Forgotten Hills of
Massachusetts then we have the warm
hands of ghost by Catherine Arden
another one that is on my 2024 TBR cuz
it's Katherine [ __ ] Arden baby
I don't know why I always say that but
it's just Katherine [ __ ] Arden
do you know what I mean like it's just
Catherine [ __ ] Harden this is a
World War One book which does make me
nervous but it were following a brother
and sister the sister is a nurse and she
has just found out that her brother has
died but for some reason she doesn't
really believe it to be true and then
we're following the brother a year
earlier when he finds himself I think in
an overturned pill box with an enemy
soldier and they're trying to fight that
fight their way out together I just
think is a standalone is card
she's going to give it to me and I the
way she's been speaking about this book
has me very intrigued she's speaking
about like what a labor it was how
difficult it was to write like how what
um what a big she's been ning it up I'm
not going to lie she's been ning it up
and so yeah I'm really excited for this
one then we have what Feast at Night by
te king fisher this is a sequel
to What mo are dead and this one we're
following Alex Easton again as I think
they go to their old family hunting
lodge and they turn up and the care
taker is dead the the lodge has been
overturned and there's like a strange
silence hanging around the lodge it's
again it's a short noela it's horror I
love teing Fisher I'm reading all teing
Fisher stuff so I'm very excited for
this one then we have one that's
tentative it's tentative it's tentative
we have the women by Kristen Hannah it's
it's a book set in the Vietnam War I
don't know I'm just letting you all know
that Kristen Hannah's got another book
coming out I enjoyed the Nightingale but
like it that is a book that is like oh
yeah I'm going to make you cry my
purpose is make you cry and I don't know
how much you earned it like I I don't
look back at that and think I was really
emotionally invested but like I Bal
reading that book I remember reading it
still the reviews oh my God guys it's
got 2,900 Advanced ratings and people
have obviously got arcs and it has got a
4.68 average
rating everyone loves me well the old
bastard hates me but they're just wrong
so this is basically telling the stories
of women during the Vietnam war where
they've their stories have been
forgotten essentially then we have Miss
Laden Parts half known by Sha McGuire
yep I think I'm going to read this as
soon as it comes out i' have I have a
video that I think I'm going to push
back a couple weeks so that this book
can go in the video I can read it as
soon as it comes out this is the next in
the Wayward children's series we're
following ancy again who we met we met
in like a previous previous book but we
really followed her in the last book in
the Wayward TR series if you don't know
what this series yet is where have you
been but it's about these portal worlds
these kids go to and it's the perfect
world for them and ansy maybe is a
little bit easier finding doors maybe
she finds it a bit easier than other
people so maybe she's going to help some
other people find doors and maybe we're
going to go a quest it's been a while
since we had a quest and basically the
books alternate between being in a world
in a portal world like in a character's
portal world and then another one where
we maybe start off at L West school for
where we children and like either it's
set at the school or we travel from the
school if that makes sense and this is
one that starts at the school and I love
those ones I think I'm more of a school
girly I like the school setting oh God
we're only in February
still y then we have tender Beast by
Lazelle sry Lazelle is an oruba who I
used to watch a lot when I was really in
my orth tuba days I haven't been
watching as much because I'm that's not
my focus right now but maybe it will be
by the end of the year but Lazelle has
the blood light magic geology delicious
monsters which came out last year which
I heard wonderful things about and this
is her release this year and I just I
own blood light magic I need to read it
all of her books sound incredible this
one is about a family Dynamic I think
it's about these four siblings and the
eldest one is told when her before her
mother dies to look after dog I think
and she's like what okay and then um she
finds Dom with blood on his hands and
there's a body and she's like uh and
he's like I promise I didn't matter and
so it's about these family secrets and
family Dynamics I think that's a very
interesting idea of a book next one I'm
I can't tell you much about I can't
remember I can't remember and I the plot
I read it I didn't give me much it is a
dark and drowning tide by Alice and sa I
just added it cuz of the cover I'm going
to be quite honest with you great gowns
beautiful gowns safic fantasy with a
sharp tonged Folk chorist and her
academic rival must team up to solve
their mentors murder safic fantasy
romance and listen I'm not the biggest
like Romany fan as we keep proving but I
think something about this one and it's
I think I'm hoping it's going to have
very Lush lyrical writing based on the
cover this is entirely based on the
cover but like when I saw that cover I
could not add it to my to my spreadsheet
could I nope nope then we have murder
Road by Sone St James I'm really excited
about this one so a young couple that
driving down the road they're trying to
find they're like we're on our way to
our honeymoon where do we where's our
where's our Resort and they pick up a
hitchhiker and find out they look at The
Hitchhiker and there's blood seeping out
of their coat and then this like truck
starts buring towards them The
Hitchhiker dies gagra here's the thing
so mostly James's books always have like
a speculative element to them so I'm
suspecting that there's like a loop or
like old murders are being reeved on
this road it's set in 1995 oh I it James
I love I love her fresh take on books
it's kind of like a horror kind of like
a murder mystery kind of speculative
there's so many layers to it so I'm very
excited for murder Road I think that
could be a good one this year then we
have the best way to bury your husband
by Alexia C Cel Casal this one is about
four women who kill their husbands and
they're helping each other bury the
bodies basically basically good for
her good for her good for her that's
what you need to know that's what you
need to know then we have wor sleeping
girls Li by farida BK a medday this is
the author of Ace of Spades which I
didn't love and everyone else loved but
I want to give her another chance this
is again set at like a boarding school
she loves a good like prestigious School
setting girl new to boarding school
discovers dark secrets and coverups
after her roommate disappears and a
student is found dead so murder mystery
I'm I'm intrigued I love the cover I'm
going to give her another go I'm going
to give her another go then we have the
mystery writer by Solari Gentile this is
about a mystery writer who turns up to
like her brother's house and like let me
in let me in I need to write these books
but then her Mentor is brutally murdered
and her brother is the is the suspect I
read the woman in the library by SAR
gtil which I didn't love as much as I
was hoping but I did really enjoy I I
feel like her books always have like a
little they're like a mystery but with
like a little ele like a weird element
to them you know a little added element
then we have the Kelby code here's the
situation with this one the Kelby code
it's got from 16 ratings so not a lot of
people have read this yet in terms of
arcs but it's got a 3.25 average
rating which is not a good start I'm a
little bit
concerned but part of that is probably
because it's got so few ratings like a
one it's got one one star and that will
throw it off a lot but it's about this
guy who is living a world he can't
afford to which he doesn't belong but he
like does stuff for his friends but then
he finds out his friends are like dating
and he's like absolutely not I love one
of you maybe maybe he's going to kill
one of them I don't know the plot
doesn't give me a lot but Richard Osman
recommended it on his podcast the other
day and said like it's his favorite book
he's read in ages so like
I have to listen to Richard where would
I be if I didn't listen to Richard I
have to so I've added it to my
spreadsheet Richard loved it so I've
probably got to read it then we've got
Icarus by K anram I really enjoyed
everything I've read from K anram she's
got very very unique writing and this is
I'm not going to tell you the whole plot
cuz it's confusing but all you need to
know reimagines the tale of Icarus as a
star cross Love Story between a young
art thief and the son of the man he's
been stealing from and if you've read K
anen before and you know her writing you
just know what we're in for you just
know what we're in for that's what I'm
going to tell you you have to know if
you the girls that get it get it and the
girls that don't don't like if you know
the vibe of kenm you know what we're
going for and I'm very excited oh then
we have one I'm so excited for I think
this is going to be so good we have how
to solve your own Murder By Christen
perin for fans of knives out on the
Thursday Murder
Club this one's so fun so it's about
this woman who when she was young in
1965 she received a prophecy from like a
fortune teller saying yeah girl you're
going to be murdered
sucks to be you and so she spends her
whole life trying to solve her matter
she's compiling dirt on everyone in her
life she's got dossier baby and then her
is it her niece or her granddaughter I'm
not sure some
relative oh it's her great arm yeah okay
yeah okay so it's her great niece she
turns up to the house and finds this
woman murdered she's been murdered and
so she's trying to use all the dirt that
she's dug up and like the secrets and
everything to like figure out who's done
this murder
I think this is going to be a great
release this year then we have as you
guys know if you watched my last video
one of my most exciting releases of the
year and it is the last M at the end of
world by Stuart tarton we only need to
take a moment we only take a moment I'm
so excited to be
here okay so we've got the last 122
people left and three scientists in this
world they are on this little island the
whole rest of world has been destroyed
by this fog they are protected on This
Island from this fog okay they are like
they're fishing they're farming they're
living their lives like woo we're on the
island then one of the scientists is
murdered and it triggers a lowering of
the security system and so the fog's
going to come get them if they don't
solve what the murder happened they have
92 hours and the security system has
also wiped everyone's memories of
exactly what happened the night before
which means someone on the island is a
murderer and they don't even know it the
murderer doesn't know that they did the
murder
sorry I'm not kidding that's the best
song I ever
heard oh my God I am so excited for this
one this is is going to I this is going
to be five stars this is going to be
five stars it's going to be five stars
I'm so excited well we have a lot of my
most insired books coming out in a row
then we have just for the summer by Abby
Jimenez this was also in this video and
the next one was in the video just for
the summer is about this boy and a girl
who both when they date people that
person after they break up goes on to
find their soulmate the love of their
life and so they decide to date to
cancel each other out Abby him has
become one of my romance girlies I trust
her I get along with her I love her
romances and this one's like her first
one that I've read that's a bit
speculative so very excited for it then
we have the reappearance of Rachel Price
by Holly Jackson this girl's mother
disappeared when she was younger she's
lived in the shadow of her mother's
disappearance forever a documentary is
being made about The Disappearance and
her mother turns up again this is me
going to be me and hly Jackson reunited
we're going to get along again we're
going to be besties again we're going to
forget five survive ever
existed we don't need to talk about that
but yeah I think this is going to be a
return to form for Holly Jackson and I'm
very very very excited then we have the
Gathering by CJ chuda who is a very
reliable author for me and I'm just
going to read you out the synopsis cuz
it's so short it says a small Alaskan
town a missing boy a brutal murder a
detective bought in from out of state to
assist the former Sheriff who
investigated a similar murder 25 years
ago but are they hunting a twisted
psychopath or something even more
terrifying that's all we know but the
idea of it being set in this small
isolated Alaskan Town very exciting to
me then we have the familiar by Leo I
going to be honest with with you the
plot of this one is not going in my head
but I love libao and I'm excited for
something different from her I'm very I
love when if she comes out with
something different G verse [ __ ] off
honestly I guess that really upset her
and I heard that she never wants to see
my face again Sabrina this is a
historical fantasy set during the
Spanish golden age and I think there's
like political maneuverings and secrets
and hiding and scheming just look at the
cover we've all added it to our most
indp releases the synopsis is sometimes
when I'm doing this video there's just
certain synopses that don't make into
the brain like I try and they're just
not easily digestible they don't make it
in but I'm very excited I'm going to
love it I'm going to read it I'm going
to read it this yet oh then we have one
of us Knows by Alyssa Cole again I
didn't love none of us what no when no
one is
watching I didn't love when I was
watching as much as everyone else did
but this one sounds very interesting
we've got kria Nash who has
disassociative Identity Disorder so she
has lots of Alters they have lots the
synopsis refers to
the characters both she and they they've
become a caretaker for this historical
estate they get stuck on the island
because of like a storm I think and this
guy that she hates and brought her life
crushing down is murdered and she's a
prime suspect and they have to figure
out what's going on so I mean I think
that sounds like a very interesting
synopses so I'm excited for that one
then we have whenn among crows by
Veronica Roth I've really been treed by
a lot of the stuff verar Roth has been
coming out with lately I feel like
Divergent happened and then I feel like
she disappeared but I don't think she
did I think she came out with like
another trilogy but I really enjoyed
poster Girl by Veronica Roth I really
loved the short story arc that she wrote
in one of the like Amazon Kindle
Collections and then she's come out with
two novelas very different sounding and
I'm just intrigued by this one step into
a city where monsters Feast on human
emotions Knights split their soul to
make their weapons and witches always
take more than they can give we're going
to go find bab Yager for an enchanted
flower I don't know I just like the
cover and everything that Veronica Roth
is doing at the moment intrigues me so I
added it then we have the house that
horror built by Christina Henry I love
the cover for this one I love it this is
about a woman who is cleaning the house
of a reclusive horror director she loves
horror films she's like my God this is
so fun look at these props that were in
these horror films I'm dusting it and
then she starts to hear a voice behind a
locked door of someone calling for help
but our guy lives alone and never has
any visitors so like who the [ __ ] is
this I love the cover I think it's going
to be camp Camp it's Camp it's Camp I
don't know what to tell you then we've
got the main character by Jaclyn Goldis
I really enjoyed the Shadow by Jack and
gold this I know that everyone loved it
but I enjoyed it and I love the cover of
this one so we've got this mystery
author who hires real people and
conducts intensive interviews with them
for her mystery
books okay and she puts the main
character the new main character on a
train with her brother her best friend
and her ex fiance all passengers on this
pain and maybe people are going to be
murdered what's going on it's like going
on a PL it's like it's on a train

don't know if that's quite or like she
works at the at the thing she works at
the place that he wants to buy and she's
like off limits but they start an affair
it's Al hawood we know what we're going
you don't need to know the synopsis then
we have she left by Stacy gray which I
think is this a debut yeah this is a
debut that I thought sounded interesting
so this is about a girl who walked out
of a house house party left her friends
one night and then they were all
brutally murdered and 20 years later 10
people with connections to the crime
have been invited to a remote cliffside
house by a journalist looking to do a
story on the crimes but then not
everything's it seems maybe people going
to die isolated there's a lot of
isolated House
books this year which I love I love that
for me at the end of the day all I want
to say is thank you Lady Gaga we have
how to make a horror movie and Survive
by Craig delou this sounds like another
there's a lot of horror movie I've got
the house that horror built how to make
a horror movie and survive and then
we've got horror movie this is
apparently a Darkly humorous horror
novel that se a famous 80 slasher
director set out to shoot the most
terrifying horror movie ever made using
an occult camera that might be and
probably is demonic
it's all we need to know babes it's all
we need to know Craig thank you the idea
of a demonic camera apparently just
starts wailing the camera just starts
wailing randomly absolutely absolutely
then we have middle of the night by
Riley Sager this is Riley's first time
writing a
male a male protagonist how does he do
it what a brave step Riley this is about
a guy who I think in their backyard him
and his friend were in a sleeping in a
tent one night you know as a kid
sometimes you're like oh my God I want
to go camping and like you think I'll
just go camping in my back Garden in the
night someone sliced the tent open with
a knife and stole his best friend 30
years later he goes back to his old
family home people things start
appearing around the house in the garden
that like are his best friends and he's
like what the [ __ ] is going on and
something r s has been playing with a
lot in his recent books is is there a
supernatural element or isn't there
that's been a running theme in a lot of
his books and sometimes there has been a
super natural element and sometimes
there hasn't and that excites me that
excites me cuz you're keeping on my toes
I love speculative element but like with
him he's always got a hint of like is
there or isn't there and sometimes there
is and sometimes there isn't you know
with somebody in James you always pretty
much know there is going to be a
speculative element and that is that is
going to be there but like I like that
Riley's keeping us guessing so I'm
excited for that one how many we got
left we've got two left we've got the
cautious Travelers Guide to the
wastelands by Sarah Brooks I think this
is another debut so it's the end of the
19th century and the world is are washed
with Marvels I love anything that's like
Victorian times there's nothing so
marvelous as the Wast a Terrain of
terrible Miracles that lies between
Beijing and Moscow nothing touches this
abandoned Wilderness except the grand
great Trans Siberian Express an impen
train built to carry cargo across
continents but which now transports
anyone who dares to cross the shadowy
wastelands on the platform steps a
curious cast of characters a grieving
woman with a borrowed name a famous
child born on the train and a disgraced
naturalist all heading for the great
exhibition in Moscow I love anything on
a train I love the cover I love the
historical setting
absolutely
absolutely I'm obsessed and our last
book is one I just mentioned it's horror
movie by Paul tremble I've never read
anything by Paul trembl but I'm willing
to give him a go and it's like this
cursed you know the cursed film tro s
genre in 1993 a group of young gorilla
filmmakers spent four weeks making
horror movie A notorious disturbing art
housee horror flick the weird part only
three of the film scenes but ever reach
the public I've started reading the good
synopsis out to you cuz they just excit
me and then basically three decades
