50 minute video ON CHRISTMAS DAY? We don’t deserve you 💗

[@gabbyreads]

We Spread is sooo freaking great 🥹😭

[@rassipillai1516]

Thank you for recommending Cackle, it was a light and breezy read. Loved the book cover!

[@shinyswondrouslibrary]

omg over 40 five star books in a year is literally so awesome, so glad you had a great reading year!!

[@melinabbbbb]

I love your ability to talk about alllll books❤ i constantly feel like im just rewatching the same booktalks on most channels ❤❤❤❤❤

[@andudontstopyo]

I'm just getting back to reading for 2024 and have purchased a lot of the books you've recommended. I can't wait to get started. Fantastic best books of 2023 video! 💕🤗💕

[@Sprong23]

We Spread was the first book I read in 2024.. I was crying so hard by the end of the book and I was thinking to myself “did I read this wrong?” First time a horror book has made me sob. 10/10. Iain Reid is amazing.

[@rosaliebahe]

You have great taste in books. Thank you for sharing your list.

[@riomadre]

Merry Christmas, Hailey! Thank you for posting today! We love you, girl! ❤❤❤

[@kristenchumley1421]

Hailey is keeping us so well fed for the holidays with this content! Thank you! You and I mesh on most of our books but Seven Days in June was so disappointing to me. I feel like there was an element of insta-love in the backstory and I felt they were more trauma bonded vs. in love and it kind of took me out of the romance. I am so sad about it because I wanted to love it. I ordered Cackle and Such Sharp Teeth for Christmas so I'm going to read more Rachel Harrison in 2024. After reading Bad Dolls, I need more!

[@Only2TRU]

Hey girl!! I just wanted to let u know I am reading Rock Paper scissors and I only have maybe 7 chapters left.....It really is awesome!!!

[@spookylittlebooknerd]

Full Brutal is on my Top 23 for the year also. Loved it!

[@marybelliotti894]

THE best book reviews online! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Merry Christmas Queen 🎄thanks for posting today 💚❤️💚

[@AvidMari23]

You just convinced me to get We Spread. ❤❤❤. I cannot wait to read it

[@brogues1613]

i got anybody home for my birthday because i saw your vlog and this reminded me that i need to get to it soon as!

[@queenkim8631]

A video on Christmas?! Yay! Merry Christmas🫶☃️

[@taylornicole4316]

Love you girl!

[@jolien-fictionalreader]

These all sound so interesting! I think I'm going to have to add Rachel Harrison's books to my tbr for next year, and I kinda want to try Full Brutal too.

[@kittyshiv]

yep that grady hendrix book was amazing and done perfectly.. I was skeptical with the whole puppet thing but it worked somehow. thanks for vid

[@CrystalHoldefer]

Ooh, Anybody Home sounds right up my alley!

[@ChelseyK919]

We spread is one of my favorite books of all time. I even have a tattoo drew up with the roots included from the cover.

[@tracys.mitnaul-xv7te]

I just discovered you and am happy that I did. I appreciate some interesting books mentioned. Definitely will be following you and adding a few to my TBR. Thanks. Happy New Year😊😊

[@victoriavega1992]

Yes❣️to echo others, I love that you recommend a variety of titles. I get tired of hearing the same titles🎉 📚

[@dannimason2708]

You have made me want to read the perfect thin ASAP ! Can’t wait for that in 2024. And also amazing to see an ACOSF on here I had the same experience with acotar this year and my first fantasy trip, LOVED IT can’t wait to get to silver flames in Jan x

[@Ladynova68]

Thanks for the video, great work! Could you please please do a vid on Rachel Harrison’s books? Like where to begin with her, recurring themes, etc.? 🙏🏻

[@taylornicole4316]

I live close to your hometown.

[@liz.vie3]

your top matched so well with milk fed’s cover it was v satisfying 😂😇💕 merry Christmas!

[@esliet]

Love your list. And yes S. A. Cosby is amazing

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

ok you've convinced me - just ordered Blacktop Wasteland 😄

[@aleawin1]

Ive read 10 books this month. That is Huge for me. So far Never Lie and St Ambrose School for girls have been my favorites.

[@eimajhteb8288]

New to ur channel- love your energy!! I’m not a horror/thriller reader, but I looooved milk fed so much

[@marginsofmarisa]

Love the variety of books! I've been hearing so many good things about Seven Days in June... I hope I get to check it out in 2024 👀 also your christmas decor is so cute!!! 🥰🎄 my favorite book of 2023 was probablyyyyy Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

[@KC2Sunshine]

This was a pleasure to watch, and compare notes on 😉 If you like the plight of the eldest daughter, in a southern gothic setting, I would HIGHLY recommend A Dark Roux by Blaine Daigle! I read it as a Netgalley ARC and has become one of my top reads of the year!

[@dayshvasuxo9206]

I read Fantasticland while at Universal in Florida. It was epic.

[@veronicaprovencal9811]

Hey Hailey, I am reading Playing Nice after hearing you talk about it, and it is really good!! Can you recommend any other books on family drama? Have you read The Husbands by Chandler Baker?

[@james-nw9up]

Dead Inside's my favorite "extreme horror". It handles the topics well and is pretty funny at times.. :p

[@blueskye2533]

My fav book of 2023 was also the last book that I read of the year. I finished it on Dec 30th. It was the Change by Kiersten Miller. I loved it! It took me completely by surprise. It’s a feminist/magical realism read. Also there’s an ongoing mystery throughout the book. It was so good

[@nikkishuskey7967]

I’m catching up on your content after taking a break from reading for a year due to school and studying for my boards. However if your in a vampire era you should read Suffer The Children by Craig Deloiue or how ever you spell it lol. Creepy kids who come back to life as “vampires” but not really haha idk how to explain it. It makes you consider who the real villain of the book is.

[@yanadhd]

The passion of new Eve by Angela Carter it's my fav in this year Weirder book I ever read so far lmao, but it's to be a classic I think

[@lisakusel6102]

The Good Sister, yes, yes.

[@nadiameriouli5348]

Have you read the last guests by J.P Pomare

[@jenniferfiske0825]

Yay! Thank you, Hailey!

[@haileyhughes]

[@meljstephan]

I read a comment on IG that said, "SA Crosby writes Free My Man thrillers," and I've never heard anything so true. Like, are these characters doing the right thing? 😬 Do I understand where they're coming from? 🤔 Like, dissecting the morality of his protagonists will have you acting like the girl sampling kombucha

[@pavisfrancesca]

"but with a bisexual vampire kind of twist" OK THEN 😍

[@aleawin1]

Disseceverment wa good but very different. I am still thinking about it. At first Ivwas like....what did i just read....but it has stuck with me.

[@charliescozycorner]

Not exposing the daddy issues 😭 I might have to read this when I feel a bit better mentally

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Dead inside sounds so good 👀

[@RociosLibrary]

I’m the opposite to you, I hate Nesta 😅😅😅 so I DNF’d ACOSF

[@labyrinth_of_rae]

Hate the cover of We Spread

[@kittyshiv]

same lol didnt draw me in at all to read.. but her review makes me want to for sure

[@joana8903]

Not unhinged in this one. Thanks

[@MB-hc9tk]

I wish you were my best friend end of . ❤

[@naomiblenkinsop4259]

i could not get through that Austin book; I don't know why... I think the author was trying too hard with the anxiety..
