What an interesting mix! I'll be interested to hear your review of The Fruit Cure. That area fascinates me and I might at that to my TBR if you like it.

[@mikalareads]

The Fruit Cure is one that REALLY fascinates me too and I recently put a hold on it at my library so I can't wait to get to it soon! I hope there is some really thought provoking commentary in it! Thank you for watching!!! 💗🥰💖💌

[@Danni.Dabbles]

[@mynameisemilygood]

The Spellshop is the most stunning cover I have ever seen I am BREATHLESS Omg lmao 480 pages what Thank you for sharing your past with eating. I've only heard fruit diets to be super healing and we actually lean heavily into fruits for Roman bc of his allergies and asthma but I'm hoping you get to this! If not I may have to get to it myself lol

[@mikalareads]

OMGGG RIGHT?!!! I just LOVE that cover SO much too~~ YES okay I am SOO anticipating reading The Fruit Cure!! I have a hold on it at my library but the line is a bit long in front of me, I can't WAIT though I hope it has great insights!!!

[@bornagainreader]

So many fantasy books on this list! And if they're not exactly fantasy, their covers sure give that vibe (A Place for Vanishing)! Speaking of, these covers are gorgeous. Well, maybe not The Eyes are the Best Part, but it's at least _eye_ catching. 😂🤐

[@mikalareads]

HAHHAH YES omg the cover of The Eyes are the Best Part is very eye-catching (no pun intended LOL!), I am so intrigued how that one is going to go, like I just have so many questions from that cover! YES ALSO I am shocked at myself for all the fantasy picks that are catching my eye! I really think in 2024 I am going to expand my genres and read more widely!!!

[@tracyolson2739]

The Spellshop is 374 pages. I’m reading it right now.

[@mikalareads]

I hope you are enjoying it! I have a hold on it at my library now!

[@adriennelee26]

I'm looking forward to Diavola. My favorite new release cover is My Darling Dreadful Thing. I read White is for Witching by Oyeyemi last year and liked it. Very litfic.

[@mikalareads]

Ohhh Thank you for recommending White is for Witching!!! I actually had that one checked out from my library at one point and it kept staring at me but I never got to it, even though I am still interested in it and hope to read it soon! I am SOOOOO excited for Diavola too! As well as My Darling Dreadful Thing - OMG the both of these covers are just GORGEOUS!!!!

[@notthemostread]

[@sariefaerie]

[@mikalareads]

[@sariefaerie]

@@mikalareads omg really??! 😹😹 yay!! I thought you might like it!! It sounds so so good 🩷💖✨️

[@PoppyMorreale]

lets see if the cool descriptions of the books are as awesome as the books themselves

[@mikalareads]

YOU KNOW IT! Thats the real question haha! 😅💖🙏

[@notthemostread]

Congratulations on 1k!!! ❤🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@mikalareads]

AW Thank you so much for real!! It is so crazy to me! I am working on some sort of video to thank everyone for allowing to me reach 1k subscribers because it is such a huge milestone to me!

[@notthemostread]

@@mikalareads yay! Excited for the vid! ❤️❤️

[@michellecgb]

Anyone else think cozy low stakes fantasy should be 300 pages tops? Or it doesn’t matter?

[@StephMorgan_]

For me I think ~ 200pgs is my max 😅

[@michellecgb]

@@StephMorgan_ you make a good point

[@mikalareads]

@michellecgb @StephMorgan_ I TOTALLY agree with you both, that page count is a little shocking to me! I dont know if you guys watch Jordalinereads, but I remember her reviewing a cozy fantasy book where the audio was like 45 hours long (LIEK HOW?!!!), so I wonder if that may be something I just dont know since I am a bit new to that sub-genre hahah! 😅😅😅

[@michellecgb]

@@mikalareads 45 hours is INSANE. I mean, I think the ASOIAF books are less than that wtf 😂

[@StephMorgan_]

@@mikalareads omg lol. I need characters to die tragically to stick around for a 45hr audio 🙈 but I'll check her channel out!

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

oou Better Left Buried looks fun! I LOVE anything set at an Amusement Park... especially if it's a creepy abandoned one! 🎡🎢

[@mikalareads]

I LOVEE an amusement park setting too, it is one of the BEST settings for horror too its just so creepy!🎠🎢
