 Hello friends, how are we all doing? Today I feel very nervous for this video. I feel like there's a lot of pressure riding on this video but today we're going to do a video that a lot of my patrons have asked me to do and I'm gonna be predicting the books I think are gonna be nominated for the Goodreads Mystery Thriller Awards this year and I feel sick to my stomach. I've been like avoiding filming this for about an hour. I never do that. I feel sick to my stomach. So much pressure! Take a deep breath, calm down. I'm gonna be trying to predict the top 20 that I think are gonna be nominated and then maybe narrow that down to the top 10. The things I want to say, I am not going to get this 100% right. It's impossible. Every year for every category there's like a few books that get nominated that have maybe like a thousand ratings that end up coming 20th in the voting but they're still nominated. The Goodreads isn't always the top 20 most popular books in a genre. Sometimes there are but there's always one or two that sneak in that like no one could have predicted, no one knew were gonna be there. So I think there's gonna be some of those okay. That's number one. Number two, I do want to point you towards Ashley's little library who does a very similar video. I know she's just posted her one for this year which I haven't watched because I didn't want my mind to be coloured. I've been planning on doing this since like the start of the year. Some of my patrons, Julia, shout out Julia, has asked me to do this. Ashley's a bit different in that Ashley has like a methodology. Like she works it out mathematically. I'm going off on vibes. I have got no planning going into this. I have not thought, I've tried actually my very hardest not to think at all about this going into this. I want to go on this journey with you. So we'll start off going through the ones that I can just think of at the top of my brain that I think are definitely going to be in there and then we'll go look at things like Goodreads lists that have come out this year of like top mystery thrillers, Book of the Month or books have been part of Book of the Month because they always end up being on there. Like some of them always end up being on there. So that's going to be our methodology. Just vibes. Just vibes. So here is my nomination prediction sheet. The way we're going to format this is I'm going to put the ones that I think are definitely going to be nominated in the green and then as we start finding out more then I'll put some ones that I think may be nominated in the gold and then we'll try and narrow it down to top 20 and then a top 10 is the way we're going to do this together. Are we ready? I feel, God, this is the most pressure I've ever felt for a video. No, I just don't think this is like great for me. I don't want to do it. I want to go home. Like I can't take the pressure of it. Don't you think any job interview- Because I just feel like there's going to be one book at least that is like an obvious choice that I forget exists. But shall we just get into it? Okay, so let me think of some that I think are definitely going to be on there. First one that I want to say that I think is definitely going to be on there is The Only One Left by Riley Saker. I think this is absolutely without a shadow of doubt going to be there. Riley Saker is almost always nominated and I feel like this could even be a good shot to win. Like try to think of what's going to win this year. I feel like this has had some of the best reception of a book that has come out this year from Mystery Thrill. I mean, let's look it up because I think it will have a pretty high rating still even though it's been out for a little while. 4.18, 94,000 ratings. I think Riley is up there with a shout. I don't know if Riley's ever won the good- I don't think he has. No, I don't think he has ever won the Goodreads Mystery Thriller and I think I think he's in with a shout. I think he's in with a shout for winning. I'm very excited. This is like one of the books I want to read the most but I'm now trying to save all the books that I think are going to be nominated for Goodreads Mystery Thrill for that video. I feel like my whole life now every year leads up to this video. I'm so excited for it. I think it's like the most fun video to do but oh my god. I'm really trying to predict what is gonna, you know, be on there. Oh my god this was like too much pressure. Okay, controversial choice. One that I definitely want to put in there. Let's bring her in. There she is. Listen to what I have to say because I'm right. This one I'm only saying it's a controversial choice because the first and second There's They Murder Club books were not nominated for the Goodreads Mystery Thriller. So there's always a chance it just won't be included again. It's always a chance it won't be included again but I believe it will. Okay, The Bullet Miss was nominated last year and it came third. Mimi, I'm first. Mimi, I'm first was number one in the voting. I could not believe it. The Bullet Miss was third rightfully so. It's what I voted for and I think the last episode is absolutely gonna be nominated. I hope it is because I'm not reading it until the video and if it's not nominated then we've got a problem. I mean again let's look at this on Goodreads. I think it's already got something like 20,000 ratings even though it's only been out for like a couple weeks. Maybe almost a month now and it's going to have a ridiculously high rating. It's going to be like 4.5 or something. 4.6. That's pretty impressive for 22,000 ratings. Now of course there's always the caveat that with series they get higher and higher rated as the series goes on because it's only people who have liked the other ones reading it. However, what if the last episode I wins? So many people, all the reviews I've been seeing of this are people sobbing. I know what it's going to be about. Lots of people saying it's their favorite in the series so far. I'm not ready but I'm definitely hoping that the last episode to die is going to be on there. What else do I think? Let me go. Okay I think this is definitely going to be on there. This has been one of the ones I've heard. The most people talking about this yet and that is none of this is true by Lisa Jewel. I feel like Lisa Jewel tends to always be nominated but this has been a big release this year I think in terms of a mystery thriller that people are enjoying. It's got that podcast element that everyone seems to be speaking really highly of. I think it's been really highly rated. Again let's go have a look. 4.23 with a hundred. Oh that's got more ratings and a higher average rating than the Riley Sager. Interesting. Okay I think this is definitely going to be nominated. It's got really high ratings and everyone loves the podcast. It's the crowd favorite. Everybody loves a good jazz player. And I think this is the most successful release I've seen from Lisa Jewel for a while in terms of public opinion. So I think this is going to be there. I got a few more that I think are definitely going to be there. This one or The Dangerous Things by Stacey Winningham. I think Stacey Winningham's debut came I want to say fourth last year and so I think she's definitely going to be nominated again and this is Stacey Winningham just seems to appeal to like the baseline thriller reader. Like the person who reads like 10 books a year and reads through this and like doesn't read a ton of books. I think she appeals to that kind of readership. 4.11 with a hundred and eighteen thousand. So this is the most rated that we've seen so far. The highest readership granted it did come out in January. So like it's had a lot of time to build that readership but I mean that plays to its advantage. So I don't know if I think this will win. I don't think it will but I think it will be top five in terms of averaging. I read this. I gave it a four star. I thought it was like a pretty good basic thriller. Now the next one I think is controversial. Okay. This one is a little bit of a risk but we're going to go do some research because I've had this thought and I think this is going to be I think this has to be nominated and I think it has to be top 10. I think it'll be like ninth maybe in the voting. I think it will make top 10 and that is Zero Days by Ruth Ware. Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave? I think this is gonna make top 10 and here's why. Okay if you're even thinking Megan I haven't heard a ton of people reading this and those who have been reading it I don't think have been loving it. I agree. I agree. I agree. But I ask you when was the last time a Ruth Ware book didn't make top 10? Crickets. Crickets. I need to go look this up okay because I feel like Ruth Ware has such a name recognizability now that she is always going to make top 10 pretty much. Unless like her books start falling off a cliff I feel like a basic through again this isn't being basic thriller readers fit me in but like your average thriller reader who doesn't read a lot is going to read Miss Ruth Ware. They're going to read Miss Ruth Ware you know. So I think Zero Days is going to be nominated. Let's go do some research on this because I don't think this is going to have a very high rating average rating. I haven't heard the best things. I don't think it will have a ton of readers yet. It hasn't come out okay 40,000 it's got 3.68 now that is dangerously veering on I think a book has to have above a 3.5 to be nominated on Goodreads that's like the requirement. So it is starting at lowly rated but I still think it's going to make top 10. Let's go look at Miss Ruth Ware and see the last time a book did not make top 10. Let's go let's sort them by year let's go back in time which is called publication year okay. The icke I know I know that made top 10 I don't need to look that up one by one did that make top 10 yeah okay that was eighth that came eight see I think she's always going to make top 10. I think we're going to have to go back to like the death of Mrs West away or maybe even further back to find one that didn't make the top 10. 10 of the key will definitely be top 10 third that came third yeah that is one of her best agreed death of Mrs West away now this could not have made top 10 but then we still got we've still gone back to 2018 okay it was nominated that came seventh you see what I mean I don't think Ruth the lion game okay this one maybe okay that one doesn't appear to have been nominated that's interesting but I think the woman in cabin 10 will have been so the woman come 10 came came third are we sure the lion game wasn't nominated let's just double check yeah okay the lion game wasn't nominated so that's how far we have to go back we have to go back to 2017 we have to go back six years for a Ruth where booked who have not been nominated and I just I just think she will be and I think it'll make top 10 because people you gotta remember people voting this who have not read a single book in this category and so names like Riley Sager Lisa dual Ruth where I think are always gonna get a baseline number of votes from people who haven't read a single book in a category but vote for them because they liked the turn the key or they liked lock every door do you know what I mean so I think she's gonna make top 10 that's a controversial one okay and I've got one more that I think I can think of off the top of my head that I think will definitely be there's an earlier release this year but that is real wrongs and this is guide for murders I just feel like this has to be there I see not so many good reads list I've seen so many people talking about it in the UK it's been a really big release like it's one of those books that gets into the supermarkets in the UK and you have to be doing something right to get into the supermarket in the UK it would be a very popular book let's look this one up 40 okay that has less ratings than I thought it would have considering it came out in March but I still I still think this will make top 10 I still think this will make top 10 4.06 not a bad average rating I think this will be nominated so those are the six that I can think of straight up off the top of my head okay I would be very surprised if any of these six didn't make the top 10 I'm saying that now I know that's a bit of an iffy statement but I'd be very surprised if any of those didn't make top 10 I am like 90% sure they will all make top 10 it won't be a flop I'm confident no the truth is I wonder how right I'll be but I really think they will I think they're the biggest biggest books and in terms of what could win I think these three have the best I mean the last ever to die I don't know I don't know if there's a chance of winning but I do I think it will be up there came third but the miss came third and I think the last ever tonight is a more popular book in terms of like reception and rating that I've seen than the miss okay let's go look what should we look at next let's quickly go check I want to go check the awards from last year and see if there's any other authors who are nominated last year that have got a new book coming out that I haven't included so Nita prose she has got the sequel to the maid coming out which won but but it comes out late November so I think it will I'm not including it because I think it will miss unless they push the Goodreads Awards back which like please don't I've got it planted by content calendar for a specific day I think it will be in next year's awards which is an interesting choice Lucy Freddy doesn't have a book Richard Osmo have included Stacey Willingham have included Simone St James doesn't have one okay Jillian McAllister interesting so just another missing person oh I'm very excited for it but I feel like this had so much hype leading up to it it was like a fairly like it was a bit of a rogue when you go hit it with other books I feel like a lot of these were pretty established authors but this was one that kind of came out of nowhere and was popular I don't think just another missing person is having the same reach or the same reaction that that had it's got a lower average rating with much less ratings and he got 15,000 ratings I think okay I don't know this one's tricky I'm gonna go ahead and put that as our first one that I am I'm unsure of it I'm unsure I don't know it could be nominated I'm not convinced it will be and I I think if it is I don't think it will make top 10 because I don't think it's had the same reaction that um wrong place runtime had I don't think Deanna Ray Bourne has had one come out the it girl and that oh sure do you want to have just give it a go Alice Tini has had another one come out she's had another one come out oh I really don't want it to be nominated okay how many ratings has it got it's got a 3.69 with only 13,000 ratings and it came out in August that's not huge in comparison to the other average rate I mean like how many ratings did zero days have it had like 40,000 right like it's much lower read I don't know I only read the top 10 I think this will be okay I think this would make the top 20 maybe we'll end up making it so that I think I put what I think is going to be the top 10 at the top and what I think is going to be the bottom 10 at the bottom and we'll have to get rid of some at the end maybe that will be how we do this but I fucking hope that this does not make the top 10 I don't want to read it I don't want to read it I like there's nothing I want less in this world than to read good you know I've hated like every Alice Tini that I've read ever so and then we've got another interesting one the housemaid I when this made the when it was in the first train I made I was certain this was going to make top 10 because it had so many ratings right a sequel has come out to this I mean this had like five this had so many ratings and was such a high rating but like even then I mean obviously this is has a lot now but a year ago it had so many ratings and such a high rating and it didn't make the top 10 and I just wonder if the readership for this are the readership who vote I don't know so the sequel I mean let's go look at it fucking out like it has 252,000 ratings and a 4.29 average rating but I'm still tentative to put it in my top 10 I don't trust her I think it will be nominated again but I'm still tentative to put it in my top 10 because it didn't make the top 10 last time like inexplicably when it should have done okay do you know what I'm gonna do something controversial I'm gonna put this in the top 10 for now like it has to surely the readers of it will have to be like oh we're outraged it didn't make the top 10 last time and make it get there this time surely like it was such a shock to me it's got 200 that's like the highest rent that we have come across but for some it was the same last time and it didn't make the top 10 but I'm gonna put it in there this time and we shall see how that goes okay I don't think we need to look much lower because any I mean Sarah Peckinen has had a book come out I just don't know I mean again Lisa Jewell the front of your mains was not highly voted for but I think none of this is true we'll make it okay interesting let's go look let's actually look at my reading tracker I want to go through this is where I put all age advice okay all right immediately this is where I put um all of my books that I'm excited for that come out this year and the way that they're colour coded if you're wondering about the colour coding uh yellow is that I own it green is that I've read it and oranges that a publisher sent it to me so really I should read it quicker than I am anyways okay doki age advice is one that I think has been really popular let's look at I mean that came out in January so it's had a long time to build up a readership oh oh oh interesting this was a book of the month pick which works in its favour but it's only got 23 000 ratings and there's 3.62 average rating so not super high okay okay do you know what I'm gonna put this in the top 20 for now but I don't know if I think it will I don't it won't make the top 10 I don't think and I I reserve to I reserve the right to remove this one okay what else have I got on here that is a mystery thriller I don't think Janice Hallett will be nominated because it's not out in the US still I think or if it is it's only just come out oh the drift by CJ Tudor I think that if it's nominated I think that might be nominated under horror oh I've just had a thought of a book okay wait wait wait wait wait wait wait we have to discuss this one oh this is one that I've been thinking about lots in relation to this okay I think that's because I'm gonna forget Holly by Stephen King this one's tricky under genre I mean these genres here are just um to my understanding still are just generated by what people shelve it as okay so people tend to shelf Stephen King as more horror however the Holly Gibney series Mr. Mercedes won the mystery thriller award finest keepers came second end of watch won the mystery thriller award the outsider won the mystery thriller award so everything bar I think if it bleeds was nominated under horror but I think that's like short stories and Holly's only in one of them everything else in this series has been nominated for the mystery thriller award and three of them have won it I'm a bit scared of Stephen King infiltrating this award much rather it says horror but I think this should probably be in the mystery thriller category it's like a detective she runs a detective agency don't read this synopsis too badly if you don't want to if you only spoiled for the mr. Mercedes trilogy it's a detective story I think this should be nominated under mystery thriller I'm gonna put it in there and I'm gonna put it in the top 10 wait a minute I'm figuring this out I'm like Scooby and shaggy I'm solving a mystery I will be so surprised if this is under horror because I really I don't think it should be everything else in Holly's story as a character has been under them oh wait I put it on the wrong side no sorry I was kidding myself can imagine Stephen King nominated and doesn't make the top 10 um I think I think it will and I think it might top 10 oh that's a bit scary though isn't it that's a bit scary because then it will probably win and listen I think I'll probably I'll I will be happy if I have to read this because I enjoyed to some extent the other Stephen Kings that I read when I read all the winners but um I just don't really like when Stephen King wins it's a bit boring in it you know it's a bit boring it's not very exciting Stephen King to win so we'll see we'll see if that's under horror but I think it should be under mystery thriller even though it's the same as horror as its first genre this this series from Stephen King is mystery thriller oh what lies in the words probably will be nominated 3.98 was 75 000 I oh okay interesting interesting interesting came out in January this was another book of the month pick oh I think this will make top 10 how many how many have I put in the top 10 already how many spots have we got left one two three four five six seven eight nine shit okay I am kind of building my ideal top 10 because I am putting books in there that I'm most excited to read I'm feeling pretty right about this the ones that I think could make not make top 10 these three I think are the ones I mean I know that's crazy to say about how my secret but the housemaid didn't make top 10 these three I think are the ones that are least likely to make top 10 but everything else here I think will unless they put Holly in horror oh gosh okay right we're filling up oh I've just had a thought I've just had a thought I just had a thought I don't even have this in my ring checker but I think this I think this will have come out yeah so this came out last year but it's been successful this year so what about the sequel when does this come out okay it comes out in time to be nominated interesting oh everyone on this train is a suspect this one's tricky this one's tricky because it doesn't have long to my understanding the Goodreads Awards when was it last year it had to come out by November 15th 2022 so it only has a month to like build up a readership and maybe get nominated but things I mean like Brandon Sanderson brought our book that came out on the last day that got nominated last year I think this will be nominated I don't think it will make it top 20 because it doesn't have long to build up a readership but I think this will be nominated to reflect the success that the first book has had this year I know by the way that you guys have all told me to read this I do want to read this series okay I know it's my kind of thing let's put her in top 20 but I don't think it will make top 10 you've only got one spot left in the top 10 that's like dangerous you in danger girl let's look I mentioned earlier let's just like do a cursory check at the set is it Sarah Pecanen or was it Greer Hendricks that's come out with a book I think it's Sarah Pecanen is it this one gone tonight yes 10,000 ratings 3.87 I feel like they're always nominated but I don't if it is nominated it won't make top 10 should I put it in there for now let's put it in there for now I think this like it's a but I mean they're famous as the duo I don't know let's put it in there for now and I can always take it out again okay I feel like we're looking all right so far I feel like I'm pretty spot on I mean I think I'm a genius I think I'm gonna get this all right oh how can I forget the writing retreat oh shit the writing retreat could be nominated oh no it can't it can't right now it can't it's got a 3.44 average rating I'm not going to include it then that is so rude guys that's a five star if I've ever seen one 3.44 okay right so now unless it's rating was to go up dramatically by November which I don't think it will having been out since February I think it's probably found it's kind of averaging it won't be nominated I think that's the wrong choice that's a five star oh the golden spoon could be nominated I feel like this is the kind of book they like to throw in 3.5 oh I'm not going to put it on there it's skirting it's skirting the low rating I'm not going to put it on there then with 20,000 ratings I don't think that will get on there okay death of a bookseller I feel like there's more of a UK release than a US one and usually yet they don't get nominated yeah no that's not getting nominated oh the chateau I just read I feel like that's going to have a low rating again though 3.53 with 6,000 ratings yeah that's not going although again this is the kind of book they like to throw on that will come like 20th in the voting but I'm not going to put it on there yet maybe if I'm running out of room for ones that I think will make it oh SA Cosby has come out with one is that in that category all the sinners bleed shelved as a mystery 4.32 with 22,000 ratings I think SA Cosby is usually nominated I think this will be there is it again I don't think it's not right now it's not going to take my top 20 spot right now my top 10 my last top 10 spot right now okay so we've got nine in the top we've got six at the bottom so I'm looking for four more here and one more here looking for five more books guys I may end up moving one of these up to here but I mean there's none none of these inspire me with top 10 this right now oh the last word by Taylor Adams 3.78 oh oh okay I think this will be nominated it's been a one that a lot of people have been talking about this year do I think it will be top 10 I feel like whatever makes top 10 is going to be I what book am I going to put oh yeah that will make top 10 now like with this far down the list I haven't thought of it do you know what I mean I think it will be nominated am I going to put in top 10 no I'm not not right now but out of the ones I've got in the bottom 20 I think this or all sinners bleed all the sinners bleed are the ones that have the best chance of being in the top 10 because I feel like this is one that a lot of people have been speaking about but it doesn't have a very high rating I do feel like the selection based on just vibes I feel like it's looking quite good so far oh sherry lapina miss sherry lapina oh sherry lapina probably has to be nominated right 38 000 ratings I mean let's look at some of her previous books let's do what we did with Ruth Ware not happy family did that make top 10 it would have been nominated but I mean it wasn't very well liked no okay didn't make top 10 but that wasn't well liked the end of her no okay um it could just not be nominated but it's sherry lapina you know what I mean I'm going to put it there for now that one's a tricky one that might not be nominated that might not be nominated but I just in my brain I'm like it's sherry lapina you know what I mean oh what about I've never read from her but has Megan Miranda had a book that came out this year because maybe that would be nominated oh interesting interesting interesting 40 000 ratings which I feel like is the kind of medium we're seeing for a lot of ones I think would generally like definitely be nominated I think it'd be nominated but it's got 3.57 that's scurrying dangerously close to me to feel comfortable putting on the list I'm gonna put it on there but I don't think it's gonna make top 10 ah we have like I'm not putting anything in the top 10 I'm refusing to fill that last top 10 spot I can't do it my heart is saying no god guys this is getting tense we may have to start taking some off of here if I think there's other ones more likely to be nominated one two three four five six seven eight nine they've each only got one more spot left okie dokie oh shoot murder in the family that could be my last top 10 spot baby this has been so highly hyped I thought it would have more than 8 000 I mean I know it's only just come out in the US like a couple weeks ago but I feel like this has been so highly hyped oh okay I'm not putting down the list yet I'm not putting down the list okay midnight is the darkest hour by Ashley Wynne staring that's literally come out like yesterday like two days ago uh so we won't have many ratings yet I think I got three points I don't think that'll be um the last housewife I really thought was gonna be nominated and it wasn't nominated okay let's look at some of these lists so if you guys remember I did a whole vlog based off of this list this came out in June and it's the hit books of 2023 so far so let's look at what was in the mystery category so we've got that we've got that we've got that I have some questions for you 69 000 ratings 3.66 interesting this has been this at the start of the year this came out in February this was super hyped especially in the UK it was like really perched as like the mystery thriller of the year but I have heard a lot of mixed things but it's got 69 thousand ratings which will work in its favor I mean that's a lot that's a lot that's a lot that's a lot that's a lot what am I gonna do uh it has to be nominated I'm not gonna put top 10 because it's really it's rated low but it's a popularity contest at the end of the day people vote for like one book if it's the only book they've read this could be the only books that people have read so that fills up our last our bottom 10 you just need one that I'm gonna put in the top 10 apparently I still think something like murder in the family though could be like a surprise entry do you know what I mean anything else Kate Morton homecoming 43 000 ratings 4 I mean that's highly rated but I haven't heard anyone speak about that is it I mean I think that's more likely to be under historical no if like Kate Morton is more of a historical author I'm not including that anything else here Harlan Coben 50 000 oh this is getting difficult and the bandit queens I've had a lot of people speak about 21 000 Harlan Coben Harlan Coben Harlan Coben no I'm not all right everything's just stress me out at the moment see I don't know if Harlan Coben has like the you know same pulling power as he they I don't know who Carlin Coben is if I'm honest he once did you know like in the early 2000s or like but I mean his 2023 his 2020 release where did that come on the list oh I think I might okay oh I hate it maybe I have to put this is my last top 10 okay we're gonna put it in and then we'll have to start moving things around if there's one that I think will make it because there's some here gone tonight by Sarah Peckner and I think could be gone as that is our top 20 just just just starting off okay but things could move out of here and things could move up I'm not sure about that making of this Harlan Coben okay I'm not gonna add either of these oh 44 000 I haven't I haven't heard people talk about that oh god god god god maybe that will be nominated maybe okay hang on let me look at some other lists and we've got this one discover the biggest mystery and thriller trends of 2020 I mean this came out in February but it will have books that are coming out this year so these ones will be ones that have come out this year I mean these have only got hundreds of ratings the whispers that's from the author of The Push there's too many thriller thriller mysteries are you sure let me explain with them Laura I actually give up do you know what we need to look at we need to look at Book of the Month we need to look at Book of the Month I've decided we need to look at Book of the Month okay October when I'm dead I haven't heard anyone speak about that oh the stranger upstairs I have heard a lot of people talking about that I've heard a lot of people reading it I mean that has only just come out no okay we're not putting it on there it's got a low rating and it's only just come out a couple weeks ago yes it has got a lot of ratings only having just come out like a week or two ago but it's got a low rating and the rating usually slips over times I think that I don't think it will be there I'm really this is this is tense um happiness falls by Angie King it says literary fiction but I know that um the other book by Angie King was nominated no I'm not gonna put it on there okay we've got none of this is true okay that would definitely be nominated then July oh Dark Corners by Megan Golding I should have thought about that Dark Corners how many ratings has that got okay not a lot the maids diary have any of my friends read this okay the ones I'm most considering putting on there at the moment are the maids diary the whispers I don't think I'm considering Dark Corners I don't think I'm considering Dark Corners moving on god this is tense the she started it I haven't heard anyone talk about that but it probably will be nominated the last word okay the last word was a book of the month pick okay I think the last word is going to be nominated then okay I'm standing by the last word April Megan Miranda one okay that makes me think that I should keep Megan Miranda The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth I don't know how time you're talking about this book of the month you know I mean oh for god's sake for god's sake 86,000 ratings last just got to go on there then you're right just need a bit of space that's okay yeah I could feel I could feel that that was gonna have to be an addition as soon as I read it that's why I pulled that face I could feel right what are we doing what we're doing we're getting rid of Sarah Peckerman we're getting rid of Sarah Peckerman right let's bring her in let's get rid of you you're gone you're gone and let's put that bad boy in okay right okay but we still got a few that I'm debating putting in ah okay any other ones that need to be added February the writing a treat okay too lowly rated age of vice in January what lies in the words we've got that okay and then we've got this list that they just published today bloody hell the center even 51 of this year's cosiest mysteries now I think most of these like if we scroll down there'll be like a lot of like cosy cosies that I don't think can be nominated but are there any the golden spoon again mastering the art I've seen this around everywhere but it's only got 4400 ratings but again like I said they always throw in a few that have got really low rating like low numbers of ratings you know okay I don't think any okay right right right we're gonna make a decision here the ones that I haven't put in yet that I am debating putting in are the maids diary and the whispers is there anything that I think should be taken out for them maybe the sherry maybe the sherry or maybe the genia mcallister oh my god I feel sick okay I don't know if that feels right to me but okay like I feel like the push came second the year it was nominated I feel like that I feel like they're gonna nominate the next okay all right I've made my decision I feel like I'm an exacter judge on judges houses like I've made my decision you're going home sweetie I've always wanted to use that I'm so glad I can use that video and you're going home sweetie going home sweetie okay the maids diary is going in and just another missing person is coming out and the whispers is coming in okie dokie I mean the anaswini in my in my dreams would go as well but I feel like anaswini always tends to be nominated I'm just like it's gonna come like 18th in the voting is what I'm telling myself okie dokie I think that's it I think that's my prediction for the Goodreads Mystery Surrender Awards 2023 and I think that is my prediction for the top 10 I don't know how I feel about it okay I think that is my prediction no in terms of what I'd like ideally I'd like the housemaid's secret not to be on next and I'd have to read two books everything else it was a series like holly I haven't read if it bleeds but I reckon I could read holly without having read that nothing else in there is a series I mean obviously there's my covers but I've read that I'd love the last word to go up there because I really want to read the last word maybe that what I don't think that will happen I think if anything's gonna go up there it's like the housemate the soulmate the housemate the soulmate but I think that's my final answer I'm so excited to watch Ashley's and see how different our predictions are but I think that is my final answer for top 10 and then the other 10 that are going to be nominated for the Goodreads Mystery Surrender this is feels like a momentous moment and I feel like this has been a bit of a fever dream of a video it's going to be long as hell I'm sorry this was so much fun and I'm very intrigued to see how close my prediction ends up being to this um so let me know what you think of my predictions are there any books that I really should have included and have missed out and have been so stupid I'm sure there's one at least that should be in the top 10 that I haven't even put in there but I think for the most part I'm pretty solid with my prediction of this there's a few that could be taken out like everyone on this train is a suspect I don't think we'll get and I think they'll be nominated in homage to everyone in this family has killed everyone in my family has killed someone but I I think I'll have got at least at least 10 I think at least 10 of these will be nominated and I think I may have got 15 I think there'll be some here that aren't nominated but I think I will have got 15 let me know what you think I've done this video was so much fun to do and I'm so excited to read the nominees for the Goodreads Mystery Surrender I mean I just like my whole purpose is leading up to that video now I just want to do it I'm so excited I love
