I prefer illustrated covers over photos of people and I think Last Night at the Telegraph Club has a gorgeous cover! But I also think covers like One Last Stop could have stronger art, especially the figures. I also just like the idea of illustrators getting more work!
I love ALL the books with the podcast theme! I’ve got a whole long list of them! I can’t wait! Could you maybe do something podcast-ish for a video? Like maybe listen to podcasts with similar themed podcast books for a month or something?
Thanks for posting this exactly when i started my lunch break. Also, I like the illustrated covers trend...but I wish it would extend past YA. Not because I don' t love YA, because I do, I just wish that more adult fiction got more thought and effort put into their covers. Some are so blah.
I 100% agree-I love getting hyped for books based on not that much info, cover reveals, way in advance, etc. I’m hear for these videos you do anytime!!
Riley Sager is coming out with a new book in July of 2021 called Survive the Night and you can get a full synopsis on Amazon. I am excited for this book, but no cover yet or at least the last time I looked which was last week.
Love you Kayla! 💕 I would listen to you talk about absolutely anything 😍😍 Your reading taste is so different from mine and it's so interesting! Have a great day!
The shade for the cover of love and other natural disasters 😂😂😂 I love this series very much bc I used to inconsistently do these videos when I started my channel and now I’m too lazy...
I added 4 of these to my TBR. Love is a Revolution went straight on there because of Watch Us Rise which I loved earlier this year. The other three were the space themed ones because I love anything realistic but with space or a sci-fi element, so The Darkness Outside Us, The Ones We're Meant to Find and In the Quick.
I definitely just added a lot of these to my list. Last Night at the Telegraph Club has a stunning cover, so I'm hoping the story is equally as amazing.
I love these videos so much! I was feeling alone in my love for light/contemporary fantasy books and I am so happy to have found your channel, just been binging on all your videos and oh boy, have added so many books to my TBR. Recently finished Wilder Girls, 5 stars, loved it, can't wait to keep reading your recommendations and look forward to some upcoming books!
Dead Dead Girls by Nekesa Afia is a debut coming June 2021, a jazz age murder mystery about a black lesbian who would rather be dancing in a speakeasy than solving crime but gets sucked in when a serial killer starts targeting black girls in Harlem. Cover reveal next week! I'm excited!
Ooh I love these videos of yours! I don't usually read the genres you talk about but sometimes I find one or two to investigate. ^__^ Two of the books (that seems fairly under-hyped) that I'm anticipating the release of are: A History of What Comes Next by Sylvain Neuvel, and Perfect on Paper by Sophie Gonzales. Super pumped for Feb 2021 cos so many books I am excited for are releasing around then!!
I think the cover for Last Night at the Telegraph Club is beautiful, but it reminds me of the kind of cover you'd see for a graphic novel rather than a historical fiction.
wait indestructible object seems to be the same illustrator that made the cover for the brave!!! you should check out the brave by james bird! a middle grade by an indigenous author!
I totally agree about the illustrated covers, they just are not my vibe. I am really excited about the new Stephanie Oaks. I read the Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly last year and totally loved it.
**I'm just going to mention 2021 gothic and/or horror and/or paranormal stuff atm but:* Have you heard of Down Comes the Night? I think you might've mentioned it in the last video like this but i can't recall. Another is Lakesedge by Lyndall Clipstone. Madame by Phoebe Wynne. The Lost Girls by Sonia Hartl. Of Blood and Briars by Rebecca Kim Wells. The Coldest Touch by Isabel Sterling. The Ojja-Wojja: A Teen Horror Mystery or Whatever, You Know? by Magdalene Visaggio, Jenn St-Onge. A Dark and Starless Forest by Sarah Hollowell. *And this one doesn't fit but:* Trouble Girls by Julia Lynn Rubin
when you also obsessively track upcoming releases and none of these are new to you haha. i don’t know what that says about me!! also i just finished last night at the telegraph club and it was wonderful. can’t wait you see what you think because it’s very historical
the tess sharpe cover looks so much like all the Alice Oseman covers, to the point where I thought it was an alice oseman book until i saw the author's name
I love this video series because I swear I do the same thing with books. My most anticipated cover drop rn is for Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao all ik about it is that it’s about a powerful Chinese empress and has polyamorous representation
I much prefer illustrated covers as opposed to those edited photograph style covers. Photos of ppl on books remind me of movie book covers and I feel weirdly embarrassed reading them in public haha
The Mirror season’s and the dead and the dark covers are beautiful! But ya for the most part I don’t love all the more pop art-ish style illustrated covers happening right now...
I'm not sure about all these illustrated book covers... The Dead and the Dark does look really cool though! Personally I don't like covers where you can get actual images of the characters. I prefer more cryptic covers, simplistic things like a silhouette or a cabin in a storm... something like that.
