BOTM is such a cool tradition with you, that & Raina of course. Wow, you are spotlighting some great covers this month (well, the first two, anyway). I need to seek out some audio books, think I'd love to get into this, but keep putting it off, don't know why. Nope, haven't read any of these books, all new to me, so thanks for another engaging & fun video.

One of the books I plan to read in October is You Like It Darker by Stephen King. Until you mentioned the reason counties in Florida are banning King's books may be for political reasons, I never thought of it. It makes sense since he is so outspoken against Republicans. My sister was walking past my room when I was watching your videos. She loves Raina. She said she loves how personable you are. She loves watching people such as yourself.

I know you have read a lot of Stephen King novels. I don’t think I’ve heard of this one that you’re planning to read. It’s amazing: he’s written so many novels over the last 50 years, and every now and then, you hear of a title that you’ve never heard of before. You are very brave to stay up and read all night! I couldn’t do that if I tried. No more aerogardens?? Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that. I’m glad, though, that you will still be able to make do. 😢 Hope you and Raina are doing well! 🥰

Are you a pumpkin spiced fan? Whenever fall rolls around, I definitely see it everywhere but I'm not a fan 😂 I personally don't enjoy it much. Lots of good reads this month. I was actually intrigued with the title that you gave the TW for. I personally I read many books under similar umbrella because I want to learn about the psychology of crimes because it gives you warning to allow us to be more aware of people. I might be adding that to my TBR for future for non-fic pic!

And Raina is a wonderful cohost, you can see her have an opinion on all the books!! 🤭 Especially the first book -- I've never heard one being published as an audiobook first then physical form. That's so cool, and different. I would definitely think of auto-buy as auto-reads too. That's probably a better version of it! I've been putting off Kristin Hannah's The Women 😂I know that book has shown up in the tag a couple of times and I have the physical copy of it. Been meaning to read it but my reads have been on the denser side recently so I haven't gotten the time to pick it up. Also YAY to winning the book giveaway.

I am currently bogged down in a dense read myself, I think I mentioned it in the video - "Imaginary Friend" by Stephen Chbosky. He is the author of "Perks of Being a Wallflower", but "Imaginary Friend" is a horror story by him!? Who knew he wrote horror? It's not my favorite genre, but it's been OK, so far. KH writes long books - LOL! I guess you could say you get your monies' worth! I'm looking forward to the Kate Alice Marshall book - the other one I read by her was good, so my expectations are high!
