angel's dream by aakash gandhi

[@arlissbunny]

“…one single intern that works at Goodreads.” So, SO true!!! LOL!

[@ritajlwang]

omg so true about synopses giving away too much nowadays... i just go by vibes now rather than reading what the book is about lol. also this is such a great list! I'm been getting back into fantasy these last few months and have been really excited to read more next year~

[@christeascozycorner]

vibes are where it's at 👌 ooh excited you're reading fantasy again!

[@brittanyfrancis5058]

I read arcs of “To gaze upon wicked gods” and it was pretty good but forgettable …but “Fathomfolk” was AMAZING! Such a creative world

[@christeascozycorner]

i'm glad to hear that about fathomfolk at least!!!

[@faeryreads]

every time I log into tiktok and see a new post from June Hur, I LOSE MY MIND LOL I am indescribably excited for A Crane Among Wolves omg 😂

[@christeascozycorner]

HAHAHAHA YEESSSS you get me 🤭

[@danielrichardson3946]

I’m looking forward to A Tempest of Tea - sounds fun. But wait the only Bardugo you’ve read is Ninth House? How is that possible?? 😂

[@christeascozycorner]

listen-

[@xblvckpinkx]

i've read faebound it was my first read of 2024 and i absolutely LOVED it. gave it 5 stars and now i want to read her other series. highly recommend!

[@christeascozycorner]

love to hear it 🤩

[@caitcoy]

So many of these are on my TBR for next year. I need more time so I can read them all. 😂 I need to hurry up and finish Greatcoats so I can get to Play of Shadows. Ooh I hadn’t heard of The Silverblood Promise but it sounds great!

[@christeascozycorner]

CAIT PLEASE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR GREATCOATS UPDATES 😭😭😭

[@caitcoy]

@@christeascozycorner I uh haven't continued yet so there have been no updates to send. 😂

[@bardsandbooks]

I’m looking forward to The Silverblood Promise, hopefully I get the ARC 🤞🏽

[@christeascozycorner]

oooh hope you can get it! i can't even think of arcs because i can't trust that i will get to them before the books release haha (also are you sure you're not also interested in the honey witch?)

[@bardsandbooks]

@@christeascozycorneryou know, I really want to dive into the ACOTAR series to get a firm hold on the foundation of Romantasy before really immersing myself in that sub-genre. I have no doubt that Honey Witch will make my top 10 after that! ❤️

[@PageTurnersWithKatja]

Looking forward to fathomfolk (yup, I rarely trust when marketing says a book is like x meets y 😂) Emily wilde too and play of shadows and The familiar...tbh I love the sound of them all 😅

[@christeascozycorner]

i never trust comps anymore LOL

[@grafffuller3265]

I am not the most up-to-date on when books come out. I will offer ONE addition. I got an eArc for it...and it has become my favourite book that I read in 2023. It comes out on February 13th, and it is called Undead Samurai. It also has a great cover...the author's name is Baptiste Pinson Wu and I cannot recommend this book more. It is a historical fiction story with horror elements in it...set in Japan in the 17th century. Multiple POVs and have I said that I loved it? Okay...enough about that. There were a few of those books that look interesting. Might have to wait till after they arrive...and listen to what others are saying. Thank you for this sampling of books that you are interested in. Talk to you, later.

[@christeascozycorner]

so glad to hear you're loving that book! yes definitely keeping my eye out on a number of these ☺️

[@linasburrow]

If you love epic high fantasies, I would highly recommend The Five Warrior Angels trilogy by Brian Lee Durfee. Please give it a go.

[@zachreads]

I finished Emily Wilde's EoF, I gave it 4.25 and am looking forward to the sequel! Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao is my most anticipated release. Also looking forward to The Ashfire King by Chelsea Abdulah Ghost Station by SA Barnes

[@christeascozycorner]

YAAAAY EMILY WILDE!!! ooh i haven't heard of those last two, i gotta check them out

[@caitlinl2750]

I’ve read eight of these already!😅🎉

[@christeascozycorner]

ooh which ones! did they live up to expectations?

[@caitlinl2750]

@@christeascozycorner they’re on my Goodreads and will be on my booksta @booksblabbering, but yesss! 2024 is going to be a good reading year!❤️

[@arlissbunny]

After you read The Honey Witch I would kill to see you and Allen discuss it. You would be perfect foils for one another and I think you would be a quality defender of the Honey Witch hype hysteria. 😉

[@christeascozycorner]

LMAOOOO i doubt allen will even touch the honey witch though 🤣

[@arlissbunny]

He’s reading it now…on a dare. He got an ARC!!

[@arlissbunny]

He mentioned it during a stream.

[@christeascozycorner]

HAHA REALLY omg that's great 😂
