THANK YOU for the new release recs with brief and concise descriptions - loved it! Lots added to my TBR list.

[carriewilson]

I loved this video. I love a good book recap but it’s so refreshing to hear about books coming out soon. Thank you!

[angelavanpelt]

I am so excited for sunrise on the reaping. It will be so interesting to learn more about Haymitch’s story. Also what book are you planning on reading next after Belladonna. This week was really hard for me since my dog passed away 😢

[GM-tudi]

LOVED Heartless Hunter!!! Really excited for Rebel Witch ❤

[AbbyAsselin]

omg idk if you've read annabel monaghan's book just for the summer, but if you haven't, you NEED to!! so many amazing quotes in that one & it was more of a love story novel rather than a true romance/erotica like you say you prefer (I'm the same way!)

[AbbyAsselin]

love the haircut/half up half down on you!!!!

[GM-tudi]

ALWAYS READY FOR THE NEXT EMILY HENRY BOOK! ❤

I’m a huge Swiftie! “out of the woods” was a saying for a long time before she used it on 1989. TSwift has such a gift of using old sayings and modern sayings and making new ones and melding them together in a way that breathes life into words in a way that always feels brand new! I don’t think these people are using her lyrics to sell books, but maybe it seems that way to people who heard them in her songs before anything else. I’m old though, so I’ve heard them before! Anyway, this is a great list!

[michellemaguire]

Your hair is fab 😍 Looking forward to a lot of these books too. Also you influenced me to get the roller skate Lego you have on your bookshelf - I now have it on mine too 😁

[JenniT]

I agree that Sunrise is my most anticipated, and would love to join in a book club for it! We basically have the exact same top 10 list for all the same reasons, get out of my head 😂 and you got some new ones on my radar! finished Magnolia Parks today, thank you so much for introducing me to it - I would struggle to explain why exactly it was 5 stars, but your sweatshirt says it all, I will be buying that ❤

[KatieBellMc]

I’m sharing with the class that it DOES look cute!

[kcriems]

the first 6 months of 2025 are loaded with good books - which is going to make my low spend year HARD....!

[kaleighmjones]

I'm most excited about Onyx Storm and Rewind it Back, but I'm for sure going to have to rewatch this and add several of these books to my 2025 TBR. I didn't even realize there's new books in the Hunger Games series/storyline so I'm curious to see how that one is. I read Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams in one day so I'm definitely going to have to look into her new one. I also saw some books on here that are in series that I've been wanting to read. There's too many books and not enough time in the day!😩

[jackieb]

I can't wait for the onyx storm book to come out also. My husband and I are big fans of the empyrean series. I also love Abby Jimenez's books

[aubreylynnmatt]

Why did calling assistant to the villain shrek coded actually make me wanna read it 🤣

[LindyS]

Lottie, Where did you get that star rating sweatshirt. I need that. Thank you.

[amtill]

As a swiftie, def agree about the Taylor Swift lyrics as titles! It almost makes me not want to read it.

[anial]

Hi Lottie. The sound / volume on your last videos are really low. Not sure why it’s happening as it’s hard to hear when watching on a tv.

[kurtka_nico]

Omg being a swiftie I'm so happy to know I'm not the only one being annoyed by Taylor Swift quotes used as unoriginal book titles just for sales...

[Diidaakii]

OMG I can't wait for "sunrise on the reaping" I LOVE the hunger games series so much!!! 
yes, lets share our thoughts on Fable or maybe in a Youtube live Video. :-)
Fourth wing was awesome but I didn't like Iron Flame so I don't know if I am going to read Onyx storm 🫣
