30+ Most Anticipated Releases of 2024! (July-Dec)📚

hello cuties how are we all doing today we're going to be filming my most anticipated releases for the second half of 2024 do not talk to me about how it's already this point in the year I feel like 2024 has basically not existed for me I feel like I've been saying that every year from now on this topic is out of bounds I like to split my anticipate releases up into two because a there's so many of them how many I've got 91 I'm really going to read like 150 books this year and I've only read and I've read like 60 books this year and I've very 6224 releases so you do the math on that one but yeah there's so many of them that it makes sense to split it into two and also I find that some books that are coming out towards the end of the year don't get announced until a little bit later I also don't have any releases for November or December which I'm a little bit concern about I don't know how that's really happened I mean they are usually lighter release months because Publishers want some like hype to build up before Christmas so like they want it to be like books you've already heard about you're buying people for Christmas so doesn't make sense but um that's kind of crazy so anyways we're going to be going through all of my most anticipated releases from July up until I guess October cuz I currently don't have any for November or December if you do have any that you think I'd enjoy please let me know and what I do with my most anticipate releases videos is I read I've just gone through just now and read the reread the synopsis for all of these I've obviously read the synopsis before to add them to my my thing add them to my spreadsheet but I've just gone through and I've reread all the synopsis and then I don't read the synopsis out to you in this video cuz I think that'll be boring I just try to like tell you the synopsis based on my memory which considering I just read like 35 book synopsis is kind of difficult but we're going to try our best I think this helps cuz it kind of just gives you the key pointers that you need to know about a book and then if you are interested in them you can go and like read the full synopsis but I think if I sat here and read the synopsis for 35 books it would be here for ages and be I don't know I'm not very good at reading things out so I just think this is more fun so shall we just get into it and talk about the books I'm most excited to read I love doing these videos so much I can't explain to you guys how much I love doing a releases videos because it makes me love reading I love it I love it and it gives me that buzz it's it feeds exactly what I want to do the same thing I love about TBR videos I love doing videos where I'm talking about books that I'm excited to read that I haven't read yet because the promise is still alive these books could all be five stars for I know they won't be they could all be five stars for what I know and just talking about books that I'm really excited for and there's still so much promise and not many people have read them so who know knows how good they're going to be oh I just love it so shall we get started oh also I should say some of these are UK releases some of them I have not checked all of them so some of them may have a different release in the UK we're going to go through release order but some of them like I'm pretty sure the ruthar one is already out in the US it's not out in the UK The Examiner will have a different date in the US there's a few that have different dates and I usually there's certain authors that I know always tend to publish a little bit later in the UK so I always check them but this is mostly there some some of these books might already be out in the US firstly we have got a talent for Murder by Peter Swanson I just got the arist this one's very exciting it is the third in the series but can someone let me know if you've read the kind worth killing and the kind worth saving do I have to read the kind worth saving before I read this because it seems like kind of a standalone mystery where just one of our characters from the first book of the series is in it and is investigating the mystery but it's basically about a woman a mild mannered librarian suspects a husband could be a serial killer so I think she goes through and sees a pattern of places that he's lived and girls who have gone missing essentially and Endeavors to find out whether he is a killer or not which I'm very yeah I'm very very excited for this one Peter swansson is Hit or Miss I did really enjoy the kind worth killing though so I'm excited to see what I think of this one then we have the truth about the Devins by Lisa scottline I I've never read from this author and I don't really know why I added this on spreadsheet who is she who is she where did you find her must stand to good a time basically it's about this family where they're all very successful lawyers and one of them TJ I think he's kind of the cast out of the family he's not doing very well he's got kind of like a low down job within the family's firm but one of his brother comes to him and says he's killed someone and he Endeavors to investigate is that true what's happening y y then we have one I'm very excited for we have imposter syndrome by Joseph Knox so Joseph Knox wrote True Crime Story which is a very very unique meta mystery all told through interviews and also has like a very interesting element where like the author is a character Joseph Knox is a fictional character in in the book which I loved it makes it feel so real this one is about a guy who meets a woman who says oh my God you look like my brother who is presumed dead and mistakes him for him and he goes and meets the family and the mother says okay let's make a deal will pay you to pretend to be my son who has gone missing presumed dead and you need to investigate what happened to him he's like okay and then he starts thinking people are following him strange things starts happening he starts to think actually someone was out for this brother so I'm really excited to see what Joseph Knox does with this I think it's going to be fascinating I think I I want there to be another kind of added element to it like there was a true crime story so I'm hoping that'll be the case then we have I was a teenage slasher by Stephen grah Jones I've read quite a few Stephen grah Jones and have enjoyed them this one is just about I think like a teenage killer we're following like the villain am I the villain I don't think I'm the villain villain I think it's set in the 1980s and it's also set in the town where Stephen G Jones grew up so it's a lot to do with the place and the location but we're following a killer bestie we're following the the baddy and maybe roting for them so I think that's a very interesting Dynamic and I'm loving all these like slasher nostalgic Inspire like I loved um my best friend's eism which was said in the ' 80s I love anything that has a really evocative location and setting and I feel like this one will do then we have Barry your gaze by Chuck tingle I've never read anything by Chuck tingle but a lot of my patrons we have a few on this list that ones my patrons were really exit for and I've added this one is about a screenwriter who is told you have to kill off your gay character for like the show to do well the algorithm to do well and he's like um I don't know I know Chuckles writes all of those like weird books like I married a computer or whatever I don't know but this is more of a mainstream release and I've heard really good things about it oh bless your heart by Lindy Ryan is another one that was suggested by one of my patrons this one is about this group of women who I think run a um Undertakers who run like a funeral home business and they've done it for years and years and years this one is also historical I can't remember what time period I want to say 1960s but I feel like that's wrong hang on let's let's consult no It's 1999 but tell a bit of a lie there anyways the town gossip the town gossip comes in dead and she rises from the dead and she raised from the dead and it becomes clear that like a vampire is back in town There's a vampire so it's sitting like the South it's got a little Southern Charm to it there's vampires it reminds me a lot of southern guy Southern book clubs gu saying vampires um so I'm really looking forward to this one I love the cover I think it's going to be really really fun so I'm looking forward to that one oh then we have one perfect couple I ruw which a lot of people have been telling me about cuz I think this is out in the US I could be wrong but a lot of people have been reading it maybe it's been ARS I don't know but this is Ruth wear's new release which Ruth wear I have never given less than a four star I have not yet read oh wait no what did I give the it girl did I give it a four I think I did anyways moving on uh I haven't read zero days yet but I love Ruth wear and I feel like she's been varing more towards like domestic thriller or whatever and I my favorite Ruth wear is one by one which is a classic isolated murder mystery and it seems like we're getting it again baby I was so I'm so excited so this one is about these couples who go on this like Couples Retreat couples event I think it's like a love Island kind of thing on a TV show they go and travel to this island and things start going wrong and then they're cut off there's a storm and they're stuck on this island and maybe people start getting killed I am it's like a couple's love Island like they go on this show it's like competing as couples I'm so excited I'm Ruth Ruth Ruth we please deliver I'm really hoping that I enjoy this I I just really hope that it's everything I'm Dreaming it to be then we have a very interesting one we have queen bee the story of amberin witch Queen by Juno Dawson so this is pitched as 0.5 in the Her Majesty's Royal coven Series so I've only read the first one and usually I don't put books on this list where I am not up to like that point in the series like if a third book in a series is coming out that I've read the first one I won't put it on here cuz I haven't read the second one so I'm not sure if I want to read it you know but this one is like a prequel and it's after andin has been killed and it's someone trying to investigate who betrayed the coven because she was a witch baby cuz everyone remember everyone says Amin was a witch andin was so that girl the mother not just mother I might actually change it to the mother she was that girl I feel like it's a universal experience growing up as a girl that you are obsessed with amberin like there was just something about amberin I remember when we did cheaters at primary school and like we had to draw one of the wives you better believe I was drawing amberin baby and like going to the Tower of London and seeing the exhibits about her there just something about her story that I think is she's the most interesting of Henry Henry the's wives so yeah this is a Nolla about the first witch Queen coven and like who betrayed them I think this is going to be so much fun and Lin I'm so excited guys doesn't this make you so excited to read aren't you just like loving reading I love life then we have seven Lively suspects by ktie Watson this is the third in the three Daria series which not enough people are reading I went and checked the other day it seems like only 500 the second book only has 500 ratings this is a criminally underrated cozy mystery series for me like it's so much better than so many of these cozy mystery English quaint books that I read like it's better than the M Murder Club it's better than spoonful of murder it's better than death and croissant it's better than like all of these books that have way more readers this is so severely underrated so we're following the three daras again who are these actresses who have played this very well-known uh character throughout the years and in this one I believe they're investigating there was a copycat murder like 10 years ago where it seems like this killer copied a a Daria Lively um mystery book B so like a like as if you reenacted a cupar book in real life and someone was arrested for it and now it seems like they think that the wrong person was arrested for it and these girlies are investigating it then we have what have you done by shapen I haven't read a new relas shapen since not happy family which I didn't enjoy but there are some chapas out there that are great like I loved the unwanted guest and I really did enjoy what's the other one the one with the baby what is it the couple next door that's probably the most popular one isn't it um and this is shopen new release this year and the the synopsis is quite vague we're in this small town in the US where you know people don't lock their doors everyone feels very safe and then one day a girl is murdered and that's all we really know that's all we really know I'm intrigued by it I feel like I've always enjoyed Chapo's writing my issue with not a happy family was more like the plot but I there is something about sh P's writing that I do really enjoy next we have one that I was sent unsolicited I did not request this book because uh I did did not love this author's first book when everyone else did but I'm intrigued by it so we have got the pairing by Casey mcquiston where we're following these two bisexual exes who accidentally book the same European food and wine tour and challenge each other to a hookup competition to prove they over each other I'm very intrigued by it I think the setting of Europe This European food and wine to will be very cool oh I like these little chapter breaks oh Florence we're in Florence baby I'm intrigued by this one I listen I have not read any Casey Mist since I read red since I read red wild wild BL I haven't read any case Mist since then and I've been a little bit scared off but maybe this everything happens for a reason and I feel like this was sent to me for a reason so I'm excited to see what I think of it maybe maybe this will be an improvement on red white and royal blue for me next we have death at morning house which is a little bit of a vague synopsis this is by Morin Johnson he wrote the truly devious series which I need to catch up on but this is like a ya Standalone where I think this character is like house sitting on this island and the house that she's house sitting at First Goes Up in Flames and is like okay I'm obviously get going to get a job again but then goes is asked to look after this abandoned house and there's you know secrets in the abandoned house what's happening it's a bit of a vague s this but basically abandoned house setting that's all we need toight oh then we have one I'm so excited for we have the seventh veil of salon by Silvia Moreno Garcia this one is set in 1950s Hollywood I've been saying I actually don't know what exact cuz I know when does seven husbands ever H go start but there's something about the Golden Age of Hollywood that I just think is rif rif rif for like amazing Stories and it really upsets me that there's not more books set in this setting I just I would love to write a book set in 1950s Hollywood I think it's so oh I love like the film studios and like the actresses and like oh everyone's sleeping with each other I just think it's such a great setting so so this one is about this role that everyone wants and a um onu like a you know an unknown actress gets cast we following her and we're following an actress who really wanted to part so it's more it's like historical C Mar Garcia and I'm just I just think this one's going to be so much fun I love love love love love the setting then we have one that I've put on here kind of tentatively it's I need you to know this by Jessa Maxwell This is the author of The Golden Spoon which I enjoyed but didn't love and so this is the kind of author that I'm just thinking about giving a little bit of a second chance you know this one we're following a columnist a kind of like I think a h like a like dear dear Dre like a I don't know help newspaper helper gets murdered and a girl then takes the job vacancy and then investigates the murder so I yeah I don't know I don't know about this one I'm intrigued I want to give this author another chance because the golden spon was such a fun synopsis but yeah not entirely sure or what we're going to think of this one next we have two that recommended to me by patrons we have the Phoenix keeper by sa McAn this seems to be like a cozy fantasy and we have a phoenix keeper who wants to save Phoenix's but it seems like they're an indent species and there's no breeding program and they're trying to save the Phoenix and there's a griffin keeper who they're kind of like you know enemies with but I think it's going to be like they're going to fall in love I think it's going to be like a cozy fantasy romance and one of my patrons was reading this one of our reading Sprints and saying how amazing it was and I read the SOP and I went that's going straight in my basket extra spicy that's going St my then we have one that I just love the I love the cover for it's the full moon coffee shop by my Mizuki this is a Japanese translated best seller where there's like this Cafe that's run by talking cats take a moment take a moment take a moment it's run by talking cats and I think they they tell your fortunes like you go in and these cats tell your fortunes absolutely I'm a bit nervous because it does seem like that Japanese Convention of short stories like before the coffee gets cold or uh the kamwa food detectives or days of maraki Bookshop where I just have been not loving that kind of format lately but cats running a coffee shop talking cats I mean it's poetry it's one of God's masterpieces do we have one that I was read by we have you will never be me by Jesse Cent Tanto and I put this on here because I enjoyed ver Wong's guide no ver Wong's unsed advice mer I don't know whatever ver Wongs I can never remember the title of that one and you know this author has written that and wrote the Dal for Auntie stuff and this one seems very different like the cover is very different it's a very different vibe and it's like influencer Thriller where these two characters one is a very successful influencer one is the woman who helped her become a very successful and then was then dropped and she gets one of the influencers kids iPads and starts tracking her like schedule and changing things on the family calendar Also let's just talk about how I am not on my family's family calendar my parents and my brother have a family calendar without me and they're just like they've never added me to it they made it when I was away at Uni and I've never been added to it anyways and then the woman who is not the influencer the kind of stalk e goes missing and it just sounds it it seems like a departure from this author's kind of typical Vibe so I don't know I'm intrigued by it then we have a tea king fisher fantasy we have a sorceress comes to call so this is about we've got our main character and her mother is like a bit sus like think Rapunzel and what's the woman's name the one who TR I get a similar vibe to them and there's a mysterious death in the village so they flee and they go to this tavern and the mother seems to be trying to seduce I think one of the people in the new town that maybe he works with the pup I'm not quite sure and um the daughter is like oh this is bad vibes and the sister of the guy is like oh this is bad vibes so I don't know if they're going to try and come together to stop the marriage but it's te king fisher it's te king fisher then we have death at the sanatorium I think this is a Icelandic translated fiction where basically there was this murder at the sanatorium many many years ago someone got put away for it and then we have someone investigating the story 20 years later and everyone no one will say anything it's hush hush hush no one will no one will Spill the Beans did you hear me sh David let me sleep in the Liv tonight so yeah I've really enjoyed getting into more translated fiction particularly like European translated fic I really like swed is it Swedish I really like what is bear toown and what oh is that Icelandic and an elderly lady is up to no good Sweden Sweden Sweden Sweden okay interesting so I want to try this out I'm very intrigued then we have the life Impossible by Matt hag so Matt H obviously wrote The Midnight Library which was incredibly successful and I think this is going to be along a similar line we have a woman who was left a house in Greece after the death of one of her friends and she goes and lives there and she's trying to uncover what happened to her friend uh how did her friend Die Why did her friend die but it also becomes a very much an examination of her life and what she's experiencing I just thought this one sounded very beautiful like all of my H synopsis do then we have another Arc I was sent recently unsolicited but I'm excited about it we have when Harry was here by Dustin tow so this is the author what was the book called H you've reached which I always wanted to read and never got to so my plan is now to probably read this and if I enjoy it pick up you reach Sam this one we've got Eric lie who after the death of his best friend creates imaginary scenarios in his head to deal with his grief and he meets this boy who he starts hanging out with but only he can see the boy so does the boy exist what's going on yeah I heard so many good things about you reach Sam so I imagine this is similarly you know hard-hitting emotional ya so excited to give go also I just love this author's covers I think the covers are so beautiful then we have one Nam so excited for it's an AR you guys now I've got I can't believe I'm like contained myself to not reading this yet but we have the examiner By Janice halet yes we do God Has Smiled On Me yes he has this is Janice Hat's new one six units one murder your time starts now there's this art course where when the examiner gets all the documents he thinks that someone was murdered on this art course and the rest of the students covered it up so we've got like messages emails we've got the kind of projects of the students I am so excited I think this sounds like such a fun prise I really think Janice H is hitting her stride like I really I didn't love the appeal as much as I wanted to CU I built it up so much in my mind that like it was unfair then the twiford code I think has one of the best twists of a book that I've ever read like it it the twist in the twiford code is absolutely amazing and then I really feel like with the mysterious Casey Alberton Angel she managed to like have that uniqueness but also write a book that is so accessible to everyone I really feel like that she hit her stride with that one so I'm so excited so excited for this one then we have a very interesting one we have here one moment by lean morati of big little lies Fame which I really I loved big little lies I love big little lies this one is very interesting there's a plane and a woman comes on the plane and she tells everyone on that plane when they're going to die some of them are going to live to 103 some of them them she tells you're dying next week babe sorry sorry about it oh really that sucks that's I mean and they all kind of laugh at off and think oh that's funny whatever but then people start dying at the time she said they were going to die and this is so intriguing to me because I correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think lean morti has done something speculative like this all of her stuff has been pretty contemporary rooted in reality and so it's very intriguing to see her do something like this and I think the synopsis sounds great so very very excited for that one then we have probably my most excited release we have we s mades by Richard Osman guys the Thursday M Club film starts filming like next week on like a couple weeks how am I going to get I please someone get me on that film set I would I would pay money to be an extra in that film please I won't be like the woman in the doctor strange movie either who's like in the background like like I'll be a good actress you won't even notice me I just want to be on that film set Richard knock knock knock please I've given this synopsis many times but we've got a father-in-law and daughter-in-law Duo the father-in-law I think his ex police or ex investigator but he loves you know his his his routine he loves his small quiet life whereas the daughter-in-law she's a jet Setter she's like you know I think she's like private security often for celebrities but she's going on here and everywhere she loves like traveling and they team up together to solve murders and create like an investigation agent and I'm just so excited I'm very nervous but I'm very much looking forward to it oh then we have an academy for liars by Alexis Henderson I have not yet read House of hunger but I loved year of the witching and thought it was so unique and this one is about a school where everyone who goes there who like gets invited to go to this school it's like dark Academia has like powers of persuasion has the art of persuasion and I don't know it just sounds very interesting I'm I've started to being a bit more plative with dark Academia because I just feel like you know let's tend that dark Academia books out there but um I there was something very special about Alexis Henderson's writing so very much looking forward to this one then we have somewhere beyond the sea by TJ Clon this is the sequel to the house in serunian SE so I don't want to give the plot too much but I believe this is pretty much Arthur's story who is kind of the head of the orphanage that he works at and I'm intrigued to see where this goes listen in the lives of Puppets was a low point for me and TJ cloon but I feel like sequel in the house ofc series I'm surely I'm going to love that and we have the house of Last Resort which I think has been out for quite a while in the US I haven't heard a lot of people talk about this this is about a town I think in Italy or something where the mayor is selling off derel buildings for € Euro so like you know come byy this house but you have to live in the town for 5 years as part of the deal so you get this house you probably fix it up get a lovely place an Italian Countryside for cheaper but you have to live there for 5 years and this couple move in and I think the house is haunted and it used to be owned by the church and the priests seem to be getting up to something so I I think this sounds like a very unique premise but I haven't really heard anyone speak about it even though it's been out for quite a while so I don't know then we have I'm so excited for this one we have pick the lock by as king so this is as King's new release as king you're going to get weird [ __ ] baby you're going to get weird [ __ ] and this one is about um a girl whose mother is often at work traveling around and when she's left at home she left at home with her father and Aunt who keep her and her sibling in tube in like in these weird tubes and it's about her trying to get out of these and be reunited with her mother and escape the kind of abuse That She's suffering and you know as King's books are always often very much fabulous and magical realism but an Allegre for something bigger so I'm very much looking forward to this one we haven't had an as king released in a while since switch and I usually you know as king usually does it for me so very much looking forward to this one then we have a Nolla graveyard shift by ml Rio the author of over Lin and this one's just about a guy he seems to be digging up Graves and these characters are trying to figure out why he's digging up Graves and is it linked to some weird [ __ ] that's going on in real life I don't know it sounds very interesting I'm tentative cuz I didn't love if we were villains as much as everyone else loved if we were villains but I'm tentatively excited then we have Disney High by Ashley Spencer this is non-fiction into Disney the height of Disney Hannah Montana Jonas Brothers like my childhood Camp Rock High School Musical oh I sat down with the president of dis Channel and I said I want to make history and that's what this is after loving Reach for the Stars so much I am so this is my kind of nonfiction apparently Nostalgia non-fiction I absolutely love and this is like where each of the Cs a little bit prior to my time this is my time this is my time of Disney Lizzie MaGuire Hannah Montana Sunny with the charts where the Waverly Place you know Sweet Life on Deck I'm so excited and it seems like it's got interviews with many influential people I don't know if it's like an oral history like reach of the Stars was where it's all through interviews or if it's going to going to be a narrative or written with inter inter dispersed sorry I've got AO hair somewhere on my face and it's really bothering me but I am very excited then we have under the same Stars by Liber Bray the synopsis of this sounds interesting we've got three different timelines one in 1940s Germany one in 1980s West Germany and then one present day or 2020 in New York where like Co is part of the plot I'm just intrigued because we haven't had a Liber bra in ages I correct me if I'm wrong I don't think a Liber bra has come out since king of scars which was the king of scars no king of king of crows which I feel like came out in like 2020 so it's been a long time and I really have enjoyed Lia bra's writing and what she does with historical fiction so I'm intrigued then we have the city and Glass by Neo another Neo I love Neo I love Neo I need to read Neo's other sand loans cuz I've only been reading the singing Hill cycle but I have siren queen and the chosen the beautiful treat but this is a fantasy fantasy where um there's a demon who rules this city and then the Angels come and the city topples and I think it's a love story between a demon and an angel I'm very intrigued I'm very intri Neo's writing absolutely amazing I'm very intri by this one and then finally I'll just think these two together we have two Christmasy novellas from murder mystery series which I'm intrigued about we have the mistletoe Mystery by Nita Pros which is the sequel to the maid or like you know that series and then we have everyone this Christmas has a secret by Benjamin Stevenson which is everyone in my family has killed someone series I just love I love Christmasy murder mysteries maybe I'll have to read quite a few Christmasy Murder Mysteries at the end of this year because I feel like there's so many of them and it's very interesting to see how different series handle Christmasy murder mysteries cuz some don't do a murder some like think you're going to do a murder or some do like a missing object I I'm just very intrigued by both of these so because they're both series I've enjoyed so I will probably be reading these but maybe I need to make progress in both of those series in order to do that maybe I need to catch up with those but yeah those are all after 10 years those are all my most anticipated releases for the second half of this year let me know which of these you're most excited for I'm probably most excited for we Sol murders The Examiner which I own um The Queen Bee by Jun Dawson is calling to me seven Lively suspects there's so many good ones there's so many good ones as king there's so many good ones so let me know which of these you're most excited for also let me know if there's any 2024 releases for the second half year that I have not mentioned because um I'm always looking for more even though how how many 2024 releases am I going to read by the end of the year we'll see hopefully I'll start doing better but anyways guys thank you so much for this video I'll see you very soon in another one bye [Music]
