BACK TO READING BOOK HAUL

[@misfitmia]

Zoe Zoe Zoe! I don't know why I'm typing this! I'm just so happy you're back!

[@readbyzoe]

I'm so happy to be back!!

[@KeriJo12]

Ooh! I've read IT, the physical book, at least twice all the way through (yes, it is quite the undertaking and there's this giant sigh of relief when the last page is reached), and I've listened to the audio book at least twice (all 40+ hours of it). The book is very episodic. It follows the lives of 7 kids, the bullies who taunt them, and the monster who is stalking the city. They face it when they're 11 or 12 years old, and think they might have destroyed it, but vow to return when they are older in case it's really not dead. Well, they have to come back 28 years later when they're all close to 40 and try to get back into the frame of mind of a child so they can fight it again. Some of the scenes are really out there, but the characters are SOOO incredibly memorable! Please don't give up on it after the first few chapters, even though the first chapter is a bit shocking if you're not used to the way that Stephen King writes. I beg of you to keep reading!! Although, I would warn you that the deaths of Eddie Corcoran and Patrick Hochstetter in particular are very disturbing and sad. I want other people to enjoy the character journeys like I have! Just be aware, the book touches on spousal abuse, child abuse, racism, murder, mutilation, and can be very graphic in description.

One thing only book nerds will understand; "Ya know, I don't even need this book, but the cover is pretty....I will read it eventually...I hope..."😂

[@elizabethtan2116]

I enjoyed reading the witches too. The Grand High Witch's accent made me laugh out loud.

[@AClockworkReader]

I'm planning on reading You by Caroline Kepnes around Halloween! I've heard it's super creepy so I'm super excited to pick it up 😊 It sounds TERRIFYING!! I wish you luck!

[@merphynapier42]

I just found your channel before your slump and I'm so glad I get to see more of you! Love how sweet and happy you are!

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

I loved It! I love all of Steven King's older works. So well written!

[@itslitwithleshai3819]

I aspire to read as much as you! I'm rediscovering my love for books; they've helped me through so many rough times. Thanks for inspiring me!

[@TheDailyDanny]

Labyrinth Lost sounds so cool.. I've never been that interested on picking up Everything Everything, but you make it sound cool and I should pick it up soon before the movie comes out. great haul!

[@thebookishnerd24]

I have both Matilda, The Witches, and Throne of Glass too but I have yet to read them! I know I really need to read them but just so many books!

[@raquelribeiro5001]

OMG, Zoe " The girl on the train", you're going to love it. It's mystery for start to finish, it just keeps you going, you can't put it down. So exicted for your review, hope it's up soon. Love your videos.

[@sophieloves5sos]

'The Life Changing Magic Of Tidying Up' is awesome, it's so cool how it really makes you want to tidy everything...

[@chaoticcreative]

[@natalieusa00]

I'm so happy you're finally back on youtube!! I've missed you and your videos 😚❤

[@laurenbrooks1254]

Hey Zoe! I've watched quite a few videos of yours for the past week or so and I can say you've inspired me to start reading again :) I went out and bought 6 of your book recommendations and I don't regret it one bit! Thank you :) XX

[@DaGavinX]

Oh, IT is really an amazing book. I'll be reading some Dean Koontz and Poe for Halloween.

[@theglitterybookworm]

Zoooooeeeeeee! You hit 100,000!!!!!! I loooooovvvveeee you!!!! So proud of you girl! :D. Glad your back!!

[@anna--emilia]

this is a great time to read A Monster Calls, hope you like it!

[@poppyblair]

yay you are back! missed your vids

[@readbyzoe]

It's Rimmel London by Kate 107!

[@umm--__--]

I didn't realize how much I missed your videos and quirky sense of humor. So glad your back! Also, I bought "The Halloween Tree" by Ray Bradbury and I'm super excited to read it. It's about a group of kids that travel through time and space to find and rescue their friend and they learn what Halloween is all about along the way. And good luck with the big "It". I laughed so hard when you said you were scared of clowns lol.

[@kaiju_k5042]

I jumped for joy when I saw you holding IT, I'm actually getting this chunky paperback edition as were speaking. Amazing story, I had to reread the first chapters after I finished as I was missing it all ready.

[@hearitcall]

Hello Zoe, I just wanted to say that I love your videos and your hair is goals and you remind me of an older version of myself (a weirdo addicted to books). Also your channel makes me laugh everyday. You are awesome.

[@laurencydni]

I missed your videos Zoe! Love your lipstick :) And ahhh I didn't know Everything, Everything was going to be a movie!

[@lolofallannagirl5418]

You always get me out of my reading slumps! Love you Zoe!

[@zoeycake100]

wow i remember reading A Monster Calls when I was in Middle school ! Its honestly an amazing book ! I loved it !

[@zoetobocman491]

When I was little, the pictures in The Witches gave me nightmares! And then I decided to watch the movie, and I couldn't even fall asleep! But, I really do love that book!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

LOVE that lip colour on you!! I want to read Everything, Everything so badly! The Girl on the Train is pretty good! I hope you love it!

[@LaurenEllwood]

Aaah so happy you're back! Also I really really want to read Labyrinth Lost, it just sounds so goood.

[@moonchildstories9751]

Hah! I started reading the Labyrinth Lost yesterday and I'm liking it so far :) Also, after you showed A Monster Calls, I had to rewatch the trailer, and it makes me tear up every time..

[@elenacathalina3937]

I can't even really look at the cover of IT. Good luck reading it :)

[@chvp4605]

[@ilargia_]

Aesopus fables are soooo good and very educational. I translated some of them for my Greek class and I love them

[@sandyreadsalot]

I still haven't read A Monster Calls either and I really need to do it before the movie comes out!

[@alynepadilla3057]

I'm in a reading slump too, I'm trying to get out of it and you definitely helped! Thank you💞!

[@emily___pages]

OMG! I read "A monster calls" and it was amazing!

[@tatiana-le5sq]

I'm so glad your back

[@anamiranda6022]

YOUR VIDEOS MAKE ME SO HAPPY

[@seso8877]

I am currently reading The Assassin's Blade by SJM. The prequel novellas of ToG. I finished the first two and thought I should get to this as soon as possible. I am not a seasonal reader, I just read whatever I'm in the mood for. So currently there isn't any creepy books for me

[@TheFluffy133]

I'm currently reading the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charline Harris because it is coming up to Halloween and you can't beat a bit of vampires and other magical creatures this time of year. :)

[@Violetblooms88]

Labyrinth Lost is on my Spookathon TBR. Stargirl is one of my faves! Sad that I haven't read anything by Nicola Yoon. 😞

[@shaec40]

omg ! i love that cover of IT ! i have never seen that cover in Australia :( i must track it down online !!

[@ica1192]

My mum bought me The Girl On The Train and it was so good!! So excited for the movie♡

[@lenasigh]

Zoe, I missed you!!! It was so refreshing to watch a new video from you. 👍😍

[@janetomondy4366]

glad your back in the game :-) I'm planning on reading the Northanger Abbey as part of your book club. i would also like to read Miss Peregrims books :-) if i think about it i should try some r. l. Stine's book, i seen the movies and they were my kind of scary :-)

[@kayloniperson]

I'm reading the harry potter series for the first time and I'm loving it so far! I'm on book three :) great selection of books. and matilda was my favorite too! makes me want to read it as well lol

[@myadavidson2088]

You are so amazing and you DEFINETELY! Inspire me

[@myliddellwonderland]

I plan on reading The Call for Halloween! It sounds so good.

[@LaurenMichele]

I just bought "The Girl on the Train" too. I'm so excited to read it! It's most likely the scariest book I will be reading during the Halloween season. 😂

[@stefert786]

IT is one of the best books I have ever read!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on it!!!

[@the_blithering_bookster_1335]

Wow, even I own just two books of Roald Dahl and those two are also Matilda (my fav.) & The Withes.❤️🙈 And also, yay ZOE you're back! Love you❤️

[@scarlettvera876]

haha I read It on January! didn't freak me out and I was so angry because of that😤 but apparently every other person on earth got scared with that book! I'm looking forward to your opinion about it. oh and welcome back!

[@lindaluzas1991]

Hi! I am learning english and I love listening to you talk because you speak about books and I love the books. ♥ Nice video.

[@samjaymc]

Unfortunately, I have to sit in the first row of the cinema due to eyesight problems. You got an awesome haul, Zoe, so Happy Reading.

[@megangoat19]

IT IS SO SCARY GIRL!! I hope you enjoy!! I loved it immensely

[@chvp4605]

Omg you're back YAYY!

[@novell3sque]

I'm currently reading The Madman's Daughter!

[@lifeaccordingtogabbinicole6492]

I'm gonna read clockwork angel by Cassandra Clare

[@emiliyakott]

the infernal devices is amazing, you won't be able to put it down!!

[@muraahh]

Can you guys tell me where to start with Cassandra Clare's books? 😂 There are soo many books by her and I have no clue which one to read first . Apparently there are two series happening in the Shadowhunters' world and the books of these series were published at the time, or I mean that one series was not finished before the other series came out. Or am I totally clueless haha?

[@emiliyakott]

Aryanna First read the first 3 of the Mortal instruments, so City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass. After you have read those, start reading the Infernal devices, Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess. You can either alternate between the mortal instruments and the infernal devices, so you wold read them in this order: City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, Clockwork Angel, City of Fallen Angels, Clockwork Prince, City of lost Souls and finally City of Heavenly fire. Or you can read the whole of the Infernal devices after City of Glass, then carry on reading the mortal instruments. After you have read all of the Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices, you read the Shadowhunter academy, and then the Dark Artifices!! I hope that helped!! Even though it is sooo long 😁

[@muraahh]

Emiliya K Wow it definitely did help! Thanks for that long answer. :)) Appreciate it. Seems like I have a lot of reading to do haha. :p

[@emiliyakott]

Aryanna You're welcome!! You have a lot to read, but once you get into it you won't even notice how fast the time goes by - because all of Cassandra's books are amazing!! Enjoy 😊

[@jamiealabin3948]

i've been planning on reading the mara dyer trilogy for so long and october would be the best time to pick it up! xx

[@brandylucero4559]

7:45 the witches is a amazing book

[@PoeticButterfly13]

I have been wanting to read Nimona for the longest time now, I just have yet to add it to my collection.

[@andresrenova4282]

Oh my god you must read IT it's my favorite standalone eve.

[@EBill23]

Do I see More Happy Than Not on your shelf? I literally just finished that book and loved it. Have you previously mentioned it before because I would love to hear your opinion on it.

[@obsessedwithbooksandmusic8967]

I actually think I want to pick up It now - I'm terrified of clowns too but you inspired me to quit being a wimp and step out of my comfort zone XD Love your videos! and I'm so happy you're back!

[@jennifercahill7397]

Good for you going out of your comfort zone! Hope you will enjoy it. I really liked the first half, but it gets pretty weird. Welcome back!

[@Danielkallus]

I love the movie adaptation of It so I tried to listen to the audiobook of it. It was forty-four hours long and I made like three hours in before I stopped. It's just too long but I do want to read it someday.

[@w9ncb854]

Zoe, your mom & dad read the cursed child...wow that statement puts a whole new spin on your family; their background, and their influence on you...Witch's looks good, and It should be a fun read...the creepiest book I am reading is an annotated Frankenstein...its creepy cause of all the symbolic levels to it. love your videos... i did read Jane Austen!

[@thebookwalker4428]

YES!!!, you need to read It, it's really good, it took me 3 months to read but i read the last 600 pag in a week, its slow sometimes but is hell creepy, dont worry, the clown doesnt appear that many times, for me is the best book that i read from him, i hope you enjoy it

[@tooooooooooooota]

currently reading the witches, loving it so far =D

[@CarinaBoneBooks]

Northanger Abbey was the creepiest Thing I reads this month I think :D But I am thinking about picking up 'misery' by Stephen King and reading it tonight. So happy to have you back

[@christinahelms6307]

I have read IT and its a good scary book for October. I will be reading The Name of the Star and Creep which are both more thriller than horror I love horror but I just chose thriller for Spookathon

[@aracelimorales3404]

I'm going to be reading Stephen king books as well(: my dad owns almost all of his books and has read them but I havent read them so that's the creppy books I'm planning on reading

[@kazooboi8001]

PLS PLS PLS READ ACOMAF!!! It's seriously the number no. 1 fav book in my shelf rn!!

[@thenintendoggies]

GIRL WHAT IS THIS LIPSTICK!!!!! Also you should do some decluttering videos :)

[@osebka21]

I just finished The Shining by Stephen King and I loved it! It was a great October/Halloween read!

[@xbookwormqueenx]

I'm going to be reading Say Her Name by James Dawson as my Halloween read.

[@avie3937]

I have It on my list!! It does look intimidating but the beginning pages i read once were quick to get into and really good. I was wondering with your 5 years of studying Spanish if you're bilingual? Also do you read books written in Spanish? I am and do and I have a rule where I alternate reading books in English and Spanish 😊 but I'm a mood reader so that doesn't work out sometimes lol

[@katherineiz.9767]

Oh my god!! Finally I found someone like me!! I haven't read ACOMAF, Queen of Shadows, and obviously Empire of Storms. :)

[@gabrielabianchi1809]

I haven't read it, but I suggest reading IT with the lights on or during daylight. I agree. Clowns are CREEPY

[@CarolineReadsbooks]

The Witches creeped me out too, when I was read it in Elementary school, I believe. I'm not really a fan of Roald Dahl! :(

[@chachelkuehn3439]

Hey Zoe I know you are a huge Jane Austin fan and so I thought of you first for advice... I just got my book list for my ISU in English class and both pride & prejudice and sense & sensibility are on the list. I was wondering if you thought it a good idea to use either of these to study and pull apart or should I choose something different and read these only for pleasure? Thxx

[@MinaGlusac]

oh my god zoe, u crack me up😂🙌🏼

[@kokochen5754]

i just got the boxset of all of Roald Dahl's books :D

[@leymyrosado4592]

I was reading IT but I started having nightmares when i was about 200/300 pages in so I had to stop. BUT its sooooo good!!

[@scarredxangel]

I'm going to be reading Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn, The Race by Nina Allen and ACOMAF because I've already started it 😂

[@rmt-books]

why were they playing disney music? my local barnes and noble did that as well!

[@adelinereads]

I've missed you Zoe!

[@inthepresentmoment]

It by Stephen King is such an amazing book, it's scary but in a good way, I swear you're gonna love it and you're probably gonna cry when it's done. We've all been there.

[@anabelle3179]

Erifili G is it really worth reading? I'm in a reading slump Atm. Do you recommend any other books? I'm into basically anything that is good.
