[@christeascozycorner]

i love the sound your nails make when they click together 😆 STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE 4 IS COMING OUT NOVEMBER 2020

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

thank you :) A lot of people mentioned that one but I still have to read Way of Kings in 2020 lol

[@hannamuriel6557]

Since you mentioned Lindsay Ellis, her debut scifi novel is also coming out in 2020. My most anticipated releases are N.K. Jemisin's new fantasy, Docile by K.M. Szapara and Network Effect by Martha Wells. And despite only having read the first book in the Divergent series and hating it, I'm really intrigued by Veronica Roth's new adult sff about people who saved the world as teens and are now dealing with the fame and repercussions.

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

oooh I hadn't heard of that one. I'll keep my eye on that Veronica Roth one and see what people are saying about it after it comes out.

[@kayg6090]

I love Lindsay Ellis. Her essays are top notch.

[@laurenrodriguez918]

Just got super excited for Where Dreams Descend

[@GalaxyElfJess]

What we've learned from this video: Sam really loves angst

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

I think we've all known that for a while lol

[@BookChats]

Oh no, I'm catching up on very belated videos and right at the end your description of what 2020 needs to be 😭😭😭

[@jedibookmasterivy]

Rae Carson’s Gold Seer trilogy is so fantastic! Loved the audiobooks.

[@DragoniaX2000]

So many. Ones that I am really really excited for are To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini, The Stormlight Archive 4 by Brandon Sanderson, Peace Talks by Jim Butcher, The Bone Season 4 by Samantha Shannon, Lightbringer by Claire Legrand. Those are probably my biggest obsessions for 2020

[@BeautifullyBookishBethany]

The Midnight Lie is so good!!! And I think her writing has really improved too.

[@allifisher3577]

I'm so excited about The Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson 😁

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

A lot of people mentioned that one but I still have to read Way of Kings in 2020 lol

[@allifisher3577]

Thanks for the Empire of Dreams and the Where Dreams Desend recs. I have to pick my fantasy spots as a beginner but you are making me less intimidated by it.

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

YES

[@carahamelie]

I would love to see Arin and Kestrel in The Midnight Lie... just to see what they are up to now... I feel like it ended abruptly as far as their relationship goes.. so I would be here for it. It will be a good one I think.

[@loveidbareminerals1]

With you on Scott Lynch...love that series!!!!!

[@rebeccam4746]

The new Mark Lawrence book for sure, and Thrawn Ascendancy.

OMG, I can't relate to you waiting to read THE SILVERED SERPENTS. I've been waiting to read it this winter, and I can't contain my excitement any longer! Also, I think that the 3rd book is still going to be released in January or February of 2021. TSS was just pushed back because of logistics issues at the publisher to my understanding.

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

this is the highest it goes and I've had it the same for the last 5 years so I'm really not concerned about my channels growth because of a tiny detail like that thanks
