omg Jen! <3 Thank you so much! Honestly, seeing my book in one of your videos is such a surreal and amazing moment! Feeling so warm and loved! Talk about a career goal lol. Appreciate you the most. Thank you, friend! <3

[jenvcampbell]

Evening, folks :) I hope you enjoy this video. Let me know what books you're most looking forward to. xx

I had no idea that the Sayaka Murata book is a short story collection, I am so excited about it. I’ve been thinking about re-reading Earthlings a lot lately. I’m ready for her next offering.

Jen I was trying to find the video you mentioned Severance on ! 🙈😁 Omg obsessed! Thank you for mentioning it. My bf remembered he has a 6 month Apple TV trial so we can watch it.
It really captures my imagination. Excellent stuff! Xx

[Thebadactress]

Ah fab ! I think I will be intrigued by Ottessa Moshfegh but Medieval isn't my usual jam either ! Also glad I wasn't the only one who didn't love Ocean Vuong's novel.

I'm all excited by the Women's Prize Long list so I ordered The Sentence by Louise Eldrich (an ex prisoner running a bookshop which seems to be haunted ?!) And Care Less by Kirsty Capes today. I guess they aren't new but I hadn't heard of a lot of them xx

[katarinakidd]

I hadn't heard of any of these, and now I have at least three books I want to preorder! Thank you Jen!

[Larissa_KD]

I love to see you looking back on the earlier videos! I still remember when you put Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James in one but never came back to it, still curious to know why as it was a dnf for me haha

[homolibrariensis]

Yaaay! I shop at Jason's bookshop on the regular. It is a lovely shop with such a wonderfully curated selection. Big fan!

[mikefolie]

Thanks, Jen. The Christie Affair, Severance, The Need and Companion Piece all got my attention.

[pipercatbook]

Hi Jen, I’m most excited about Jason Purcell’s book and Ottessa Moshfegh’s new one.

[nymeria]

I didn't realize we had a new Ocean Vuong book coming! I'll definitely be picking this up.

[GaggingLit]

Congrats on the book proposal. Hope it all goes swimmingly. I am also excited for the new Vuong. Hope he comes to Manchester if he does a tour :D

[nolawernicke]

Hi Jen, I'm interested in The Girls Are Pretty Crocodiles and Here Be Icebergs, though all the books sound great.

[williamperryjr]

The first one seems intriguing!!! One of my characters is named Iris!!!!

[donnakirby]

All the books sound amazing Jen! It’s hard to narrow it down.

[Larissa_KD]

I'm really excited for A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers and of course Bargin Bin Rom-Com by Leena Norms which I've already pre-ordered. Both coming out in July, so that will be an exciting month! :D

[michelepastele]

Can't wait for the new Nicci French! All of these sound great - thank you!

[beehan]

I am most excited about Akwaeke Emezi's debut poetry collection that should come out this summer! I love their writing. But I'll definitely have a look at all the books you mentioned here, a couple sounded really interesting, thank you

[Chocolatetart]

So many great books! I can't wait for Sayaka Murata's Life Ceremony, The Odyssey and Crocodile Bride. I'm also looking forward to Lessons in Chemistry, The Sea Plane on Final Approach, and Young Women.

[Sofia_Monteiro]

I am excited by the new Nicci French and Year of the Tiger by Alice Wong. Also "the it girl" by Ruth Were will be out by July!
