Spooky Books To Read! 🎃

[@BooksMichelle]

Here in the Netherlands we don't even celebrate Halloween all that much, but this video makes me SO EXCITED for it anyway ^^

[@smolcutie1773]

Books Michelle I feel you in my country we don't celebrate Halloween too 😢😢

[@sophieriri2063]

Same here in Germany. I just love all the halloween videos, series and movies! 🙈

[@alicantesophie970]

This video is serving the best autumn aesthetics of all time

[@dorian_notgray]

"The only spider I will ever truly love." I feel that XD

[@akramakram-hv6mq]

[@kevinkelly_]

That little white pumpkin is the cutest thing ever!! Night Film is one I've been needing to read so badly! Sarawithoutanh always raves about it!

[@laurateddy9547]

agreed it's so cute ❤️

[@lenavm]

I’m SO excited to read Stalking Jack The Ripper! I love books with a Halloween/spooky vibe, so it was interesting to know which ones you’re planning on reading soon :) x

[@zainabfaessal937]

Helena x it was so spooky and is perfect to read right now, and book two is even better!!!

[@claryy8]

Love your channel so much! You seem such a sweet and nice person :) And I finally followed your recommendations and bought the Six of Crows duology and Aristotle & Dante, I'm so excited to read them! 💕

[@AClockworkReader]

I hope you love them!

[@oliwiaszo]

i'm so busy but i've promised myself i'd read the Night Circus so im buzzing to get around to that

[@eatingcookieswithpeanutbutter]

I promise it will be worth your time

[@ansanasutheskumar1589]

olivia same here I have so many books to read but I'm really lazy 😅😅

[@fictionfrenchiesmegan7898]

Hannah, you are just my favorite booktuber! Haven’t been able to read these past couple months because I have been studying for a licensing exam. As soon as I finished I hopped on KZbin to check out your recommendations :) thanks for being you!

[@MarieA38]

Yessss love a good spooky read 🎃 enjoy horror books any time of the year especially in October!

[@NYCgirl120]

i've read the first book of the raven cycle and i'm continuing it this month :) they seem like the perfect books for fall!

i think *miss peregrine's house for peculiar children* could be great for halloween too. actually i've read the first book maybe two years ago so i think now its the time for reading the second book

[@johannahall2143]

I just finished the night circus, wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but I did!

[@frmedina4051]

You are so pretty! That's a really cool stack. I probably won't be able to read any of them this month. I have a mountain of books to read. And a pile of Halloween books from last year I did not read. I love how Halloweeny you get. It boost my spirits up. Keep up the good work.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Omg cutest little spider ever YES NIGHTFILM IS SO GOOD

[@ShakespeareandSuch]

Yes Jane Steele is FANTASTIC!! I hope you enjoy it, it's definitely going to be a great fall read!

[@tabitachristassia5139]

Omg Stalking Jack the Ripper is the perfect Halloween mystery murder book to read! The second book, Hunting Prince Dracula is already out, I believe and I'm so excited for it! Also the Mara Dyer trilogy is the scariest in my opinion because the writing is so beautifully detailed and it just gets under your skin. I enjoyed the trilogy so much and I hope you do too! :)

[@theshadishow9255]

I wanted to read 13 books this October: -City of Ashes -City of Glass -Dracula -The Woman in White -By The Pricking Of My Thumbs -The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes -It -The Invention of Murder -Good Omens -A Discovery of Witches -Stalking Jack the Ripper -Geekerella -Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone But I keep wanting to add more to that list after watching everyone's Spooky Book Recs - especially Night Film, that looks so so good 🙈

[@YolandaChenYT]

There's something about the way you speak that I find so pleasant! Always look forward to your videos

[@lillywhy]

I've had a lot of fun decorating for halloween this year too. Love your spider pillow!! I'm hoping to read Welcome to Nightvale, Wicked, or Dracula this month.

[@BlackCatsAndBooks]

Cecil narrates Welcome to Nightvale audiobook, it's so good. I just got It Devours!

[@lillywhy]

michelle r. That's awesome, I didn't know that! :D

[@emilyisallwrite]

"Bird Box" is the next thing on my TBR concerning spooky horror reads :)good luck with your books this month!

[@CMri]

I love your halloween decorations!!! Especially that white pumpkin 😍. Also love your tbr, very halloween-y.

[@Rikku147]

Awww man. I wish we'd gotten Whichwood in October. You're so right it sounds like such a Halloween-y book. Middle grade gets all the best Halloween books, imo :P. Jane Steele sounds so cool o_o especially because I love Jane Eyre. Also that cover is SO Halloween. Thanks for the recommendations! I want more books to get into the Halloween spirit~

[@LegendofLorieBooks]

That spider is too dang adorable, haha. I’m really excited about Whichwood! Also, I just finished Stalking Jack The Ripper and it was fantastic! Hope you enjoy it!

[@amandac3778]

I read The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding and absolutely loved that one. It was a quick read too. I also read Stalking Jack the Ripper and didn't like that one as much as I was hoping I would. I did purchase the sequel though and am excited to read that one. I keep hearing so many good things about Night Film and I definitely need to pick that one up!

[@heather2841]

Stalking Jack the Ripper was so good!!! Her next book in the series, Hunting Prince Dracula, is on my October TBR. Also I plan to finish the short-story collection Slasher Boys and Monster Girls, Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi, and You by Caroline Kepnes. Not a lot of books, but I've heard such good things about all of them!

[@eatingcookieswithpeanutbutter]

I just wanted to thank you for recommending the book The Night Circus. I finished the book last week, and I couldn't stop thinking about how great it was. Although, I do wish the ending was more detailed, I still loved every part of the book. Thank you!

[@karamarie6781]

Loved loved loved Night Film! It is a heavy read, not light and airy, but FABULOUS!

[@Storribook]

I just got the Mara Dyer books too! My Fall TBR is already too big for me to add it though so I most likely won't get to it this month

[@WheresRowanGoing]

Night Film was pretty good. I loved all the different formats and things in it. Books like that get me every single time.

[@haley4855]

The thumbnail!!!! Hannah you are so pretty inside and out!

[@laureng2353]

I could see the Mara Dyer trilogy from the thumbnail, and I love those books so much!!

[@ikh2508]

Hey I just came up with this book tag, but I don't have a booktube channel or a bookblog or a bookstagram. I would really like it if you did this book tag, it's called The Period Book Tag and the questions are these: The Period Book tag: 1. The unexpected period: A book that caught you by surprise. 2. The emotional period: A book that made you really emotional. 3. The messy period: A book that left a mark. 4. Cramps: A book that was painful to read. 5. Cravings: A book that made you crave something (romance, friendship, food, etc…). 6. Period products: A book you never want to read again. 7. The BLOODY period: The reddest book you own. 8. Heating pad: A book that brought you comfort. 9. The 2-day period: A book that you finished faster that you would have thought. 10. The late period: A book on your TBR that has been there for way too long. 11. The synchronised period: Tag (and synchronise with) your friends! Hope you enjoy!!

[@sparsamajumder3434]

Oh goodness this is such a good idea!

[@samsamthetrashcan6198]

How uncomfortable is that

[@takshatangudu8736]

lol good one

[@cozywriterclub]

I can't wait for Whichwood to come out! A few of the other books are in my Amazon wishlist. Looking forward to hearing what your thoughts are.

[@kimseehorn]

I love the skulls and the white pumpkin in the back 😍

[@stefaniewithanf7026]

I didn't know Mackenzie Lee did a Frankenstein retelling!! I just finished listening to the audiobook of Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue and loved it so much, I'm so excited about This Monstrous Thing! Whee!

[@morganbillingswrites6330]

I love your videos, this was filled with such good recommendations! I love your videos btw, and I'm so happy you've expanded your reading past YA, I feel the same way now that I'm getting a bit older and reading more types of books.

[@calicowarlock]

Your Halloween decorations are so cute!! Also, good luck with school (I have a few friends at UCB, they're so stressed lol). I'm planning to read The Invisible Library and Tower of Dawn.

[@bellethebibliophile]

Oh my god, YESSS, you HAVE to read This Monstrous Thing! You. Will. Love. It! It's sooo good

[@isabella-ky4yq]

I'm really excited to read some spooky books this month! I've just finished The Shining by Stephen King (it was great) and I'm planing to read Dracula and Frankenstein (for some more classics), six of crows and hopefully Stalking Jack the Ripper if I can find it in a library (I don't have $20 to buy it with atm)

[@sarahgerkin7471]

the unbecoming of Mara Dyer is one of the best series I have ever read. You will love it!

[@saschabookishowl6073]

I had the same with the Mara Dyer trilogy. Then I borrowed the first book from the library, and I really enjoyed it. It was a super quick read. I reserved the second book, so I might also read it this month :)

[@ilianayanitza07]

Omg in high school I loved reading the Mara Dyer series!! I still haven't read the third one because I'm not sure if as an adult I'll like it as much as I did years back, but I hope you enjoy them! :)

[@milkgrape9918]

You always recommend the best books and try to read most of the ones you recommend. Luv ya vids! 💛

[@RKTFTW27]

I'm going to try to tackle It this month, but currently I'm reading A Darker Shade of Magic for the first time and really enjoying it so far!

[@leonelvila133]

I love watching your videos it lets me know I'm not the only huge book nerd thanks for the book recommendations

[@KatCho]

I love your cute Halloween decorations and I am SO excited to read PROSPER REDDING too!

[@JacindaRivera]

OMG 😮!!! First of all, the spider is so cute. And then: I need to say the next thing: I really like the way you decorate your things 💖

[@MioStarz]

Gosh I could just hear you talk about books for hours. Every time I do I get so excited even though I probably don’t even have a copy of the book in the first place 😂

[@ForTheLoveOfBooksAndReading]

I'm hoping to pick the Night Film soon as well! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

[@tometimetea6621]

I can honestly say that is the cutest spider I have ever seen haha. I had fun reading The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding and it was darker than i thought it would be since it’s a middle grade.

[@jacullyhunter3975]

I also plan to read Stalking Jack The Ripper this month!!!!!!! hope we both enjoy it!

[@dezikistler1596]

I read the unbecoming of Mara Dyer last october, great time to read it. I love it so much.

[@GabyGabsBooks16]

Night film is so good and very creepy! Happy reading :D

[@laurenkara6584]

night film is so good !!!! one of my all time faves

[@aleighathompson6908]

i am BREATHLESS you look BEAUTIFUL and this background is V CUTE

[@ABookishBalance]

I'm really interested to hear your thoughts on the Mara Dyer trilogy! It'll be interesting to see a perspective that didn't read them as they were coming out :)

[@malekbenkraiem2355]

A Bookish Balance im pretty sure she'll LOVE the trilogy since its so great

[@Megsypie]

Deffo reading Coraline, love the movie this time of year so why not give the book a shot. Quick read while on the train

[@leiaelise2999]

Night Film is such a good one that is just the right amount unsettling! You should for sure save it for the 31st. I'm also going to be reading Stalking Jack the Ripper this month.

[@tovaportmann]

I love that spider pillow. So cute.

[@givemeprimelaughter]

I am reading the ACOTAR series, but for more Halloween-ie type books I have the Six of Crows duology, A Monster Calls, Illuminae and Gemina THE NIGHT CIRCUS (which I am reading because you love it so much) and The Hearts We Sold.

[@veronicaratigan375]

I just finished Aristotle & Dante tonight and am going to start reading Six of Crows 😃

[@elizabethd7478]

Love your background, I love this time of year also it gives me life lol.

[@inkedwithcuriosity5838]

I just finished Stalking Jack the Ripper, and actually talked about it in my last video! It was ok but I think my expectations were too high because I was a bit disappointed by it!! October is my favorite month and I've saved so many spooky reads. I'm planning on reading The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo and Outpost by Ann Aguirre!!

[@FreyaFJ]

Just added too many books to my TBR ...

[@jengreenlees-reader44ever94]

Great video, Hannah! 😍 I hope you will enjoy all of the books you picked out to read this month. ❤ I am hoping to read The Grip of It by Jac Jemc, which is a Horror book set in a haunted house (🤤), and The Library of Souls by Richard Denney, which is a Horror book for the middle-grade set, I think (🤤). Other books on my October TBR that may or may not be spooky include Room of Shadows by Ronald Kidd, Blood Rites by Jim Butcher, and The Spider [shudder] by Jennifer Estep. The titles are spooky, but I'll have to see about the stories. 🙄

[@jacquelineganun3042]

you look so good in this!! i love the recommendations.

[@melihbooktube7088]

Stalking Jack the Ripper, is my favorite and its apart of the series. I think you would love it the best because you like criminal minds and Audrey Rose, main female lead is studying forensic science. She wants to be a doctor of dead bodies

[@carsonmcdonald6412]

I just finished You by Caroline Kepnes and loved it!! I'm planning to read Hidden Bodies as soon as I can get my hands on it :)

[@athena986k]

Carson McDonald one of my absolute favs! I loved YOU. Couldn't put it down!

[@ingrid3578]

Hidden Bodies was good too, but unfortunately falls slightly short of it's predecessor.

[@athena986k]

ingrid3578 I did finally read hidden bodies and I do agree. It's not as good. But I hated more that I will have to wait to find out what happens next. She won't be writing another one for along time.

[@lanieburnett5408]

I’m reading Night Film right now too!! It’s creeping me out to the point where I’ve been sleeping with the tv on 😂

[@aidacelicaguilar7927]

I read night film in just three days and greatly enjoyed it. I would recommend House of Leaves as it is the only book that has not let me sleep at all. Also I've read Doll Bones by Holy Black and finally reading The night circus right now.

[@shailynnwinter42]

I just read Stalking Jack the Ripper and I think you're going to love it! Lots of plot twists and I love the main character! Best of luck and I hope you like it!! P.S. I really love your channel! 💞

[@natcommon]

You should read Lockwood and Co. It’s sooooooo good!! I’m finishing some books left over from Sept (Little Women) but then I’m going to read two Lois Lowry books (Gossemer and Gathering Blue). And after that, on to Victoria Schwab!!! (Vicious and then Archived) if I have time, I’ll read some scary short stories by Agatha Christie and Henry James.

[@alexalittle493]

The Mara Dyer Trilogy is amazing!!

[@martyfree2389]

Madness burns by stevie kopas and the undesirable encounter by toby Torrance both ebooks I read in the last year. The first one is a series of short stories, the second a full length novel. Trust me they are both worth a read if you fancy a scare!)

[@stephanieroarty2605]

strongly recommend reading the Lockwood And Co series by Jonathon Stroud. Dunno if a little out of your age range (I'm a little out of target age but still LOVE these books) amazing writing and just so fun to read!

[@magdalenatangmark1934]

My spooky TBR consist of "There's someone inside your house" (bc all of the booktube hype), "You" By Caroline Kepnes (due to your best books of 2016 video ;) And also it's sequel "Hidden bodies". Also thinking of buying the stalk the ripper book but will wait for your thoughts on it!

[@BaylesBrittany]

My TBR for October : Sleepy Hollow- (read this week ) Night Circus ( which i know you love) Cinder- (cinderella meets cyborg) Agatha Christie- A Body in the Library - (who doesn't love Agatha Christie) Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar children Three Dark Crowns The Girl Who Knew Too Much- Amanda Quick (historical fiction mystery) The Raven- Edgar Allen Poe (My husband and I read this out-loud while carving pumpkins) Also for Halloween we love to play Nightmare Before Christmas while we help the kids carve their pumpkins and other classics like Hocus Pocus and Casper. We also have a family movie list during October while mom has her TBR list.

[@RebeccaBooks]

I really liked the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and the second one but got to the third and couldn't remember what happened so I'm gonna have to re read them all again to be able to read the third😂 Stalking Jack the Ripper has intrigued me since I first heard the title and I'm absolutely dying to read them so I might after I finish Six of Crows!

[@denizreads9986]

You are my favourite american booktuber💕 hugsss

[@AClockworkReader]

Thank you so much

[@akramakram-hv6mq]

[@gracieann6356]

You’re like a little book fairy! Never stop reading !

[@nathanbeer3338]

Even though I don't celebrate Halloween I'm still planning to reread Misery, I miss Annie Wilkes so much.

[@sophiepie4135]

I put the Night Circus on my October tbr this month :)

[@kaylcity3448]

Jane Steele sounds so dope! I thought Jane Eyre was eerie (lol eyre-ee) as hickty heck so a reworking where the main character is a serial killer sounds like maybe the best thing ever???

[@sarahmcdonough7713]

I eagerly await your thoughts on Night Film. For years I've heard that it's one of the best books a lot of people have ever read, it's so unique and suspenseful, one of the most special books they've ever read etc. I was so excited to read it. Never been more sure I was going to love a book. And I absolutely hated it lmao. You and I have had a lot of similar thoughts on certain books so as much as I would like you to like it, I would at least feel a little validated if you have some of the same problems I did lol

[@thejourneytonarnia6511]

I've read the Little Red Riding Hood tale from "Pretty Monsters" and it was definitely pretty spooky. I hope you enjoy!

[@MeSimoneI]

These books are all so perfect for spooky October and Halloween, I hope you loved them.

[@HaleyNixt]

Some of favorite books that remind me of Criminal Minds are I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga and The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchinson.

[@theaudiobookaficionado]

if you haven't read The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson I would recommend that! london, fall, ghosts, murder... it's a good time!

[@clareseymour6227]

I’ve been wanting to read Jane Steele and Stalking Jack the Ripper!

[@ingridpislaru1578]

Your video made me smile💖

[@debbiealexander9313]

Love your cute spider pillow...

[@ritalagessilva16]

October is awesome and all but I'm in my 4th year of college and I have so many group projects, tests, presentations...it's driving me insaneeee! 😂 I have a bunch of spooky books I want to read before Halloween but I probably won't...these are simultaneously the best and worst years of my life 😂 Booktube helps a lot tho! Thank You 😍😍

[@karkatvantas9557]

This is a recommendation, not a plan, but _Wonders of the Invisible World_ by Christopher Barzak would make an awesome Halloween read. It's better to not know much about the plot before you read it, but I will say it's a paranormal book with a really creepy and mysterious vibe to it. It's about a boy called Aidan Lockwood whose life changes irrevocably when his best childhood friend, Jarrod, returns to their hometown.

[@pinksuperstar2]

currently reading The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding and liking it so far. for October i also plan on reading: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince A Conjuring of Light the second book in the Raven cycle

[@DevilsAngelMadness]

If you enjoy reading spooky books, I'd like to recommend the titles "Breed" and "Brood" by Chase Novak; which are in adult fiction. They are really great, in my opinion.

[@MsKristinaRose]

Aw man, I read the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer when the hype train was in full force and it was such a disappointment. I plan on re-reading The Diviners series for this month because the first is great and spooky and the third book just came out so I want to refresh my memory of the first two. But they are very large tomes, I'm not sure I'll even get to the third this month.

[@ThisGrace92]

I realized while watching this that I have a book recommendation for spooky October! It's called "A beginners guide to magic" I believe, and it's a collection of short stories. I'm actually not sure if I can exactly recommend it because I didn't finish it because the stories were too creepy! The one that got me is the story about rabbits, and that's the only thing I'm going to say about it 🎃✌🏽

[@beabookworm]

That thumbnail tho 👌

[@ladylefttee6687]

That makeup is 10/10!!!!

[@YolandaChenYT]

Have you ever read the Thirst series by Christopher Pike? They're amazing
