I'd LOVE a cassandra clare series!

[@sarahsho9799]

PLS

[@peachyfeathers]

I’m literally so excited for “The sun and the star” I can’t wait! Oh to be Walker Scobell and be able to read it already rn😭

[@charlotteburns3213]

Bitterthorn is absolutely stunning! I loved it when I read it. Can't wait for it to be properly out in the world.

[@bookswithsoph1]

im super excited for Yellowface, Y/N and Heartstopper V5 😊💕

[@indigomoon22]

Bitterthorn sounds amazing! I've never read a sapphic gothic story before. The closest I came to reading one was Carmilla but it doesn't really feed the sapphics so this is EXCITING!!

[@y-m-x]

I've only ever read TMI and TID from Cassandra Clare. So a video on all her different series would be interesting and help me figure out if the rest of her books are worth it.

[@thebookishdragon2883]

super excited for blood debts as well! and I totally get the wanting to see people as you on covers, ✨ lovely video!

[@shreyasam19]

I'm really looking forward to the new percy jackson book as well! :)

[@shreyasam19]

also wondering if u ever ended up reading Kaikeyi, and your thoughts if you did

[@fictionalfates]

i haven’t yet, but it’s on my radar for books to read!!

[@shreyasam19]

@@fictionalfates good to know! can't wait to hear your opinion on it :)

[@dragonslayerxxp]

My TBR just keeps growing - this is going be an amazin yrrr😊! I'm also so excited for riordan books. Plus, the adventures of amina al sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty is coming out next week - starting a new trilogy and taking us back to daevabad world. So many good books, can't wait ✨️

[@isabellabautista6481]

Super excited to read your short story!

[@TheSassyLibraryFox]

"She Is A Haunting" has been on my radar for a while too. It just sounds very good but also like it will give me the creeps. *lol* Also OMG why have I never heard about "Idol, Burning" and "Y/N" they both sound very interesting. I honestly can't wait for the release of "The Sun and the Star"! I'm so ready to read more about my precious Solangelo ship! So many intriguing books! =) Thank you so much, Joel! 💜

[@sarah.sparkles]

I live your library so much. You always make my TBR list grow by leaps and bounds after each of your videos 👍🏻

[@addygrubb9021]

Omg yess, Art and Gwen sounds EXACTLY like what BBC's Merlin was missing! 🙌 Also I'm super excited to read your writing, Joel! Congratulations on getting a short story published! ✨️🥳

[@Irene_Marie_]

Me again, preordered All These Sunken Souls. Look forward to it!🖤

[@matteahayn]

Blood Debts was great! Just finished the arc ❤ I was so pleased to discover that it’s queer too! Also was able to get the arc of Gwen and Art Aren’t in Love and that was so great too! So many of my other most anticipated reads on this as well (Happy Place, Yellowface, Sun and the Star). Also, I would absolutely LOVE a shadowhunter reading vlog!!

[@finsfables]

WAITTTT gwen & art are not in love seems SOOO fun i will absolutely be reading that oh my goodness

[@Milomilomilomilomilomiloo]

Wowwww I’m so excited I’m trying to read more and this is such a inspiration love love love that

[@fictionalfates]

thank you so much!! 🥺

[@seochangbinsarms]

I don’t think you understand how much I genuinely adore you

[@taraminter5424]

I read a lot of King Arthur books in the past and recommend the LegendBorn series…😊

[@Lorie336]

I will be reading Legends and Lattes in March, so thank you for letting me know there is a prequel. I just ordered today because it dropped today and that's Shannon Chakraborty's new series that involves pirates and motherhood. Ever since I read the Davaebad trilogy and I have the companion book River of Silver, she's an auto-buy, technically thanks to you and your vlog. I also had to buy Roshani Chokshi's latest book The Last Flower Bride, I hope that's the title, I love her Pandava series, so it will be interesting to see how she writes for adults. The most anticipated won't happen until August 1st of this year, it's the final book in Rebecca Roanhorse's series Between Earth and Sky, it's called The Mirrored Heavens. I can't wait to return to that world and finally get a resolution of what's to come, so excited! I saw someone else mention Spy Family vol. 9 and I am excited for that too. Last time I checked they had vol. 11 out in Japan, so we are a tad behind because of translation. Vol. 10 should hopefully drop later this year as well.

[@hermionelovegood7316]

Yeees please do a reading vlog of 'a day of fallen night'!

[@julesnar1175]

You have one of the most stunning bookshelves I have ever seen. It's so beautiful

[@rivka_sos]

your videos cure my anxiety theyre so calming

[@sophiareagan6425]

The Sun and the Star and The Chalice of the Gods are two of my most anticipated as well. I'm also dying to read Alecto the Ninth (which I think should be coming this year.) And I've pre-ordered All These Sunken Souls and am especially looking forward to reading your story!

[@Irene_Marie_]

Not me rushing to preorder Bitterthorn and not seeing any American retailers offering it! Thank goodness for Blackwell’s, they even ship it to us for free. Thank you for introducing me to this book, can’t wait to read it.🖤

[@indigomoon22]

This was really interesting and exciting to see all these gorgeous books! Joel, please, make a longer 24hr vlog for A Day of Fallen Night! I don't know anyone who has read it so need someone else to talk about it, haha :)

[@Elliewren920]

The asap choreo was lovely

[@rei02862]

I'm really excited for Alecto the Ninth! Can't wait to see how the series ends

[@ReadingNymph]

Ooh definitely need to get Lies We Sing to the Sea! It sounds amazing. I can't wait for the prequel to Legends and Lattes 😍

[@ellieavery2373]

im late to this but I would be so excited if you did a dedicated cassandra clare video! theres so many easter eggs throughout the interconnected books and I would love to hear your thoughts! maybe u could even react to the show/ movie :)

[@sunpi]

I LOVEd your cosy reading vlog

[@AninaySanchez]

At this point, I'll never see the end of my TBR 😆 thank you Joel! 😊

[@watchablesbykane]

congratulations on your published short story! it sounds amazing. and thanks for all the great recommendations.

[@AnonB765]

Congrats on your first publication! Looking forward to checking it out.

[@Iam_addicted_to_books]

I loved ADOFN and Yellowface! Grateful to have received an ARC

[@fictionalfates]

ahhh i’m so glad to hear that!!

[@cryothetheorist3931]

I’m so excited for sun and the star and chalice of the gods

[@srijabiswas4989]

YES to the "A Day Of The Fallen Night" reading vlog please Joel 🙏🥺

[@ednanocapes7257]

I know I know I'm late but CONGRATS TO GETTING PUBLISHED!! 🎉

[@agenttheater5]

I forget, have you read 'The Neapolitan Novels' by Elena Ferrante? Books in the series are My Brilliant Friend The Story of a New Name Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay The Story of the Lost Child (not to be confused with another book by Ferrante - The Lost Daughter) They've been adapted into a really good tv series (3 seasons so far, season 4's been confirmed), and the Lost Daughter was recently made into a movie. Another book of hers (I think The Lying Life of Adults) is also being adapted.

[@bananatos8929]

My anticipated releases for 2023 are.... 1) Lies We Sing to the Sea- Sarah Underwood (March 7th) 2) The Sun and The Star- Rick Riordan & Mark Oshiro (May 2nd) 3) All The Sinners Bleed- SA Cosby (June 7th) 4) The Mirrored Heavens- Rebecca Roanhorse (August) 5) The Chalice of The Gods- Rick Riordan (September 26th)

[@kinrateia]

Made me really happy to watch this :3

[@saragriffiths8135]

Happy Saint David’s Day 🌼

[@asterismos5451]

My cozy fantasy recommendations are the Finding Home webcomic (which you can order physically through Kickstarter!), East by Edith Pattou, The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry by C M Waggoner (it's a bit more plot-heavy but the stakes are much lower than most fantasy still. the main character just wants a sugar mommy.), So This Is Ever After by F T Lukens, and anything by Terry Pratchett.

[@sunpi]

Yes!!!

[@aliflash0]

Cant wait for Uncle Rick’s books

[@Mossfinch]

I’m currently Speeding through rereading pjo and hoo because I never got to read trials of Apollo and I so want to finish it before the sun and the star comes out because nico is my Son and I am so excited for it, and I love Chloe gong too so I’m very 👀 at immortal longings honestly

[@parnikajain3151]

I have a stack of fantasy books I have in a section of my bookshelf that I want to get to once I finish my reread of the ship of the dead and Husband Material (not a reread). But if I somehow get thru those till my bday in July then I’ll probably get The Sun and The Star, along with 2 other books I really want

[@paperbacksgalore]

I just read an Arthurian retelling called Half Sick of Shadows which focuses on Arthur and his inner circle but especially the Lady of Shalott. It was amazing and it isn’t super popular but I have no idea why

[@gabrielle_vx]

I dropped everything when I saw this video was posted!! Heck yeahhhhhh

[@Chloe-dn9fg]

I would love a KZbin video on A Day of Fallen Night, I can’t wait until it’s in stores near me.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Bitterthorn sounds so good 👀

[@MicahRion]

Bitterthorn and Gwen and Art Are Not In Love sound amazing!!!

[@MicahRion]

Ooh and the Water Outlaws!

[@yashal3715]

I'm desperately waiting for a day of fallen night reading vlog plus yellow face reading vlog....please do so.... Plus have you seen the UK cover of immortal longing it's just immaculate.....please check that out

[@BaileeWalsh]

Joel: "I know it's a bit late for me to be making this" Me: *editing my tier ranking all the books I read in 2022 video* 😶

[@leslyminaya2167]

Yessss please more youtubeeee , I don’t use social media at all anymore, the only social app I use is KZbin!

[@leslyminaya2167]

More KZbin videos please*

[@docryujivt]

my anticipated release of the year is the midnight kingdom by tara sim, only three more months to go 🙏

[@esmeemigchielsen6121]

i neeeed an ADOFN reading vlog!!

[@a.j.torres3131]

I'm going to recommend ya Zachary Ying and the Dragon Emperor by Xiran Jay Zhao. It's middle grade urban fantasy, it's amazing, it's wild, I freaking LOVE the characters, and I think you'll like it, also did you read Daughter of the Deep by Uncle Rick? I honestly can't remember if you did lol ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

[@magicalvelcro]

me: all of these sound really good also me: staring at “strike the zither” the entire time 😍

[@AMAR9933]

Such an amazing list and video ♥ ♥ ♥ I was excited for lies we sing to the sea but after reading that the (British) author has not read the original stories at all... I don't necess. think you need to, but if you are going to write about another country's (my country in this case) mythology (that your country has stolen from), I feel it would be something you should do.

[@ellieskouros2174]

pls post your day of fallen night vlog to youtube! i love your content & priory of the orange tree but don't have tiktok, so uploading to youtube would make it a bit more accessible for me! however, if posting to tiktok is what makes you happiest, don't let me stop you 😍 edit: also it would make me sooo freaking happy to have a shadowhunters series from you! love those books (especially cassie's most recent trilogy) & would love to know your thoughts

[@seochangbinsarms]

10:50 Stan Stayc yall

[@slh14x]

i'm interested in reading 'lies we sing to the sea', but after reading some reviews, i'm very unsure now. i heard there was some controversy abt the author saying she's never read 'the odyssey' too. do u have any thoughts abt this? i invite anyone reading this comment to share as well, i rly wanna be convinced to read it :')

[@HazalElise]
