New Fave Series + Autobuy Authors! || Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag 🏅 

I am loving how your dog is modeling in the back ground... made my day!

I felt so seen when you said that you love a book and then immediately forget it 😂

Also I just want to say I LOVE you and Courtney’s podcast!!! I never miss an episode.

I always love seeing you do new videos. You were one of my first cozy mystery booktubers and a big part of the reason I started my own channel. Thank you

I’m Jewish and have found there are barely any Jewish sleuths. I also read tarot! So I can’t wait for the book you mentioned to come out! Also can’t wait for the next bake shop mysteries. I went on a bender last summer and binged the whole bake shop mystery books by audio on commute and have stayed caught up. I also loved the pies before guys mysteries. Misha Popp can write! Somehow she makes books cozy that have such a dark subplot of abuse. Nothing graphic and for me it makes me feel invested in the women after some pretty severe childhood trauma with DV. Spencer you picked so many read and anticipated books!!! Love is video. I’ll keep referring back to it for new reading.

I was having fun rereading books from my childhood or teenage years, but I'm tempted by several of these books that are perfect summer reads. And I ADORE books about books too!!!

Yay for discovering Abby Jimenez! I think Part of Your World will forever be my favourite romance.

Lol dog in background😀 love it! Reading/forgetting what you read❤📚😀 like the cozies review📚 have yet to read Ellie Alexander's new Bookstore mystery books about books my jam also!

The dog! He/she looks like such an academic!

Now you have to read the companion novels to Just for the Summer. You’ll love them too!❤️

Thank you for a great video. I learned about some new books that I want to read. I, also, loved The Body In The Bookcase. I was at the Mystery Festival and really enjoyed that aspect of it too.

It sounds like you've had a great reading year so far! You have peaked my interest in trying some new series. My favorite cozy mystery series I've read thus far this year is A Pancake House by Sarah Fox followed closely by Bailey the Bloodhound series by Kallie E Benjamin. My favorite sequel is Baking Spirits Bright by Sarah Fox. I read three of Sarah Fox's series (Pancake House, True Confections, and Literary Pub) this year and they are all great so she my favorite new author this year. I'm looking forward to so many cozies in the second half of the year. I've had a great reading year so far! 📚💚

I currently have Misha Popp's book checked out. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I loved the sample and am excited to read it. I can't wait to read Ellie Alexander's and Abby Jimenez's books.

I’m going to be reading Abby Jimenez soon. My romance friends rave about her! I’ve only read the first 3 or 4 of the Bakeshop mysteries but I definitely want to dive in to the Body in the Bookstore. The indie book Dead To Rights sounds so good! Adding it to the TBR.

Great video. You give too many great recommendations for me to keep up! I too and trying to catch up on my Bakeshop mysteries and am looking forward to my first mystery festival this year in Ashland thanks to the video you did on last year’s festival. Thanks for all the great recommendations!

After hearing you describe it, I bought Dead To Rights. My own favorite book so far is The Bodyguard by Katherine Center, with Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez is a close second.

All of these sound good!!! I read moving is murder by Nellie Steele I love it!! You should try it

I wanted to ask, do you have other video's that you share all the books you read in the year? Thank you for these I am finding a lot of new books to try out 😉

I loved Ellie’s Body in the Bookstore but almost DNF’d it MANY times because the victim was just so unlikable. I couldn’t stand hearing about her and was so turned off by the more I learned. The book was so cozy and whimsical and the last 1/4th was SO good that it all came full circle and I can now say I love the book. If there is any criticism it’s that Ellie writes too good and made this extremely unlikable pop off the page. lol it felt like I knew her. I’m just starting the 2nd book and am excited to hopefully have a victim that makes me feel invested in and not wanting to scream. Once again Ellie has right from the start built a world with powerful characters that I can’t wait to see evolve. I’m definitely hoping for more Fletcher. He’s a sweetie. Anyway, this would be a good book club book because there is just so much to discuss.

I read Just for the Summer and it was great! However, I struggled with it being marketed as a rom-com just because there were just as many poignant scenes as humor. I know it’s all opinion, but when I hear rom-com I think light and fluffy.

I just picked up Charlotte Illes Is Not A Detective... oh no 😅
