Introducing: Horror TBR episodes!
This episode begins a new series of episodes on the podcast, where every month I will have someone on to talk about the books we’re excited for each month!
I have enjoyed doing my Horror Preview episodes with Becky Spratford and Emily Hughes - and those will continue! But I feel like there’s an opportunity to do more, and I’m taking that opportunity.
The format
Me and my guest will prepare a small list of books that we’re looking forward to releasing that month, and we’ll take turns sharing. It’s the same format as my Horror Preview episodes, but since it’s just a month, there’s more room to chat in between titles.
Preorder/buy/ask your library
I know everyone says that preordering is important, and we all kinda get that, but I don’t know if anyone knows what will or will not happen if preorder sales aren’t robust enough.
I don’t either, and I’ve been considering having an episode just on that topic. But until then, I will say that what I do know is that preorder strength can determine if Barnes & Noble chooses to stock a title in their stores for launch day. It’s a driving factor on stores in general doing pre-release bulk orders. If demand looks weak, they can always order it in. So. yeah, preordering can make or break a title.
June Releases!
