I didn’t like Just for the Summer either 😢 (but I really loved Funny Story!) You have me itching to pick up Morisaki Bookshop and to go through and clean up all my bookshelves ❤

Luke IS an amazing actor! It's always a gift to watch Luke perform! I can't believe I've had the honor of sharing the stage with that wicked-talent twice!

For me, my school librarian reading to us made books come alive. I loved biyearly book fairs, monthly book orders from Scholastic & DEAR (drop everything & read) times in elementary school. It made reading feel special & built excitement over picking new books. And, we really never have enough plants or books, IMO, far better options than other things, right?!

I honestly don't have a book that got me into reading. I read from very early age because both of my parents were readers, so my memory of that time is a bit fuzzy. Maybe Alice in Wonderland or Peter Pan?

The Road.

Being a mom, babies/children messes with my head - and of course the first one has 12 six-year old children wanting their mamas. 😅😭

Nice video 😊 where are you from

The black farm 😶 The troop 😮

I don’t know if you’ve got it already (hi, new subscriber here) but I want to recommend Geek Love by Katherine Dunn. I loved it but it’s so weird/disturbing/horrifying I am scared of recommending to people normally as I’d worry what they think of me.

I wanna find a book that shocks me, still not found one yet, maybe one day

I've read Come Closer & Tender is the Flesh and liked both. I don't think I've heard of your other recommendations. Nice list! I now have some new additions to my TBR list! Thanks! 😀

"I could have lied!" But you didn't, and that's why we love you! How was the baked apple goodness?

A disturbing & gross book I'm reading at the moment is 120 Days of Sodom by Marquis de Sade. Mucho trigger warnings.

Just finished Night’s Edge, and I loved it! It kept me totally engaged the whole story. I think I may have finally found someone that has a similar taste in books as me! Definitely going to go back through your other videos and try more of your favorites! 😊

Love your videos, and I hate summer, too! Bug bites, sweat, yuk.My husband hates winter, so each of us is either happy or miserable. 😊

I will be adding most of these to my TBR, except I refuse to read Tampa. I loved the writing in Come Closer and Woom was the first truly disturbing book that I read. I recently read The Woods are Dark by Richard Laymon and even though there were so many dusturbing things in that book, I could not stop reading and finished it in one day.

This is unrelated but I love your Tecumseh sweater!

I loved Penpal too! It gets mixed reviews, but I found it to be really scary. The ending😳

Night Shoot was my first read by David Sodergren last year and it got me hooked on him for life! I'm so glad to see you love it, because a lot of people say Night Shoot is slow/boring in the first half. I think the set up was great though and the ending KILLED MEEEEE.

sooooo I tried reading Cunning Folk by Adam Neville last year and it's one of only two books I have ever perma DNFed. He isn't an author that speaks to me at all I imagine....you being bored is not a surprise to me :X

Omg you are so sweet! Thank you beyond much. I am so glad that you, who understands how hard it is to daily vlog, commented on it. That really means a lot to me. Makes me feel like someone understands why I am proud of myself for doing it. Also, loved this video. The frustration at having a half hour left of the timer was so real. I felt that for you. Even though I know you should feel accomplished. I totally got where you were coming from, ha

23. 5 Hours is impressive & looked like fun. Love Summerween, the doxie blanket & of course seeing the pups. I have a mini longhair black & tan girl & can relate to the lap sabotage!

So to answer your question- I wouldn't trust anyone either. I would just want my circle of family. The worst comes out of people in times of trouble

Yesssss!!! Nothing beats 80's horror

HAPPY SUMMERWEEN!!!!! 🤩

Really disappointed to hear about " near the bone" cuz Alice was great and Lost Boy was 1 of my fave reads ever....Christina henry seems hit an miss honestly. I heard ghost tree wasn't good either

Knock, knock, Nancy. (I see what you did there! 😉

I really like horror novels so this is super helpful thank you <3

Ok I have a recommendation: It is extreme horror, and it does feature violence against women, which I know isn't really your jam...but...Survivor by JF Gonzalez was such an emotional wallop for me. It's beautifully written, and if you can get through the first half, the second half is honestly just this incredibly gripping crime thriller. I couldn't put it down.

Tampa is easily the most disturbing book I have ever read. I have never physically cringed so hard in my life.

Great mitten pattern, I'll try it! 💙

Even though I don’t read much horror, I was intrigued by a few & will await your thoughts. Glad I made it to the end to get a peek at sweet Rosie!!

Finally a list that doesn’t include the usual suspects…The Girl Next Door et al. Come Closer and Tender Is The Flesh is officially on my TBR list. You’ve a new subscriber.

Great list. I would not have included Penpal on it though.

Im so glad you enjoyed Our Wives Under the Sea, its my favourite book of all time and I feel like I'm constantly searching for something I love as much! 💕

Our Wives Under the Sea has been on my list for a long time. I need to get to it!

adding the magic fish to my tbr immediately!

I love your sparkles ✨

Thank you God! I have found my reading twin 😂😂😂 About to binge watch your videos.

мне это нравится❤️‍🔥

Love the visual/collage for each book’s vibe. Thanks for sharing this. I just include reading into my general bullet journal, but reading is probably half of the content (monthly stats, quotes, challenges, TBR’s, books read/genres, mid yr & yearly bracket, etc.)

Great video 😊 Honestly, pick up Mistborn before Stormlight Archive (Way of Kings). It’s a much easier entry to Sanderson’s stuff. That being said, I’ve probably got the worst recommendations, for you, because i really didn’t love the Assassin’s trilogy

“The best version of me is second day hair” and I really feel this. PIGLET is a good one!!! I really enjoyed it!!! Enjoy!

Most disturbing book I've read is Let's Go Play at the Adams' (1974) by Mendal Johnson. But your violence against women filter might rule it out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm an old fella who has been lucky enough to have worked in poetry, review writing & literary essays, much of his life. Yes, I know, very fortunate. It was Tolkien who started it all for me. I live in a tiny house with the light of my life (an ex-racer greyhound named Billy-Blue). I adore books, but it's Billy who has saved my life. I empathise with your struggles with depression & anxiety. I am a suicide surviver being treated for PTSD, but Billy has totally transformed my life. Cling to your books & pup. It really is worth sticking around. I also read a lot of fantasy & historical fiction, but poetry is my main passion. I look forward to following your adventures with books. Thanks for the bookish inspiration.

I liked Priory of The Orange Tree, but I felt like it tried to do too much in the second half. Looking forward to The Will of The Many

The Will of the Many is in my future. Farseer is great. I finished it last month and am starting The Mad Ship (Liveship Traders 2) for very soon -- probably tomorrow because I'm travelling. The Orange Tree looks gorgeous and honestly I'd buy it just for that. Not sure queer feminine fantasy is quite my thing, but you never know.

we need more

We were all let down by an education in malice
