11 Books I Read In September | GRWM + Book Chats

[@jbellerhiannon]

I'm mostly through Mexican Gothic and I'm really really enjoying it so far. It's kind of a haunted house story but with soooo many twists and turns. I'm honestly having such a hard time putting it down

[@ericapoe]

Jennette McCurdy’s book was soooo good and eye opening when it comes to toxic family dynamics. Rock paper scissor was not my favorite as far as thrillers go, but I heard it’s coming to Netflix as a series.

[@battybean]

I’ll definitely watch the show! I didn’t know that!

[@itspaigemorgan]

Hearing you talk about it made me realize that exactly ten years ago, I was sitting on my bed SOBBING over the last 100 pages of Clockwork Princess 😂 never trust the ducks!

[@nicolemoscatelli7571]

I just started reading Black Cake which is going to be a Hulu series. It definitely has some triggers in it. Not for the faint of heart. I keep crying because it is that good.

[@nicolemoscatelli7571]

I forgot to tell you the author Charmaine Wilkerson..

[@molly3460]

Dream house by Carmen Maria Machado is an amazing memoir. Her writing style is like no other! It’s a memoir about her being in an abusive relationship with her gf and it’s just so mesmerizing I think about it all the time.

[@JmeJinxx]

Highly recommend checking out Starling House by Alix E Harrow. It's like The Hazel Wood meets Ninth House. Soooo good! I loved The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy and am pumped that there is a sequel coming out next year! Saw another comment hyping Mexican Gothic and also have to second that one, excellent gothic creepy vibe for October.

[@kaitlynw7585]

I really enjoyed Under the Whispering Door! I’m reading Ariadne by Jennifer Saint now, it’s been on my TBR forever

[@lindaferrari8029]

So many interesting titles! I am currently reading The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle 📚📖

[@ChloeTheePayne]

i looooove the book club energy of these videos 😊 and i've also heard that audiobook is the way to go for the Jennette McCurdy book, sounds like it was an incredible performance.

[@mrsamcnizzle]

You should listen to Inkheart, specifically the narration by Lynn Redgrave. It is YA but that narration specifcally just brings the book alive and it is an easy listen and a true book for booklovers. ❤

[@battybean]

Good to know!!

[@allielujah]

You need to check out Ashley Winstead if you haven’t. She has 3 thrillers (one published today) and 2 romcoms. Also, Crying in H Mart is such a great memoir.

[@angeldelaney9878]

After almost 3 months of not being able to watch your videos, I've binged all of them in 3 days. I've also added many of the books you've read to my TBR list. I'm currently reading Gallows Hill by Darcy Coates. I just started, but it seems pretty good so far. It's a horror novel about a girl who was sent away at a young age coming back to bury her recently deceased parents, to take over the family wine business and find out the dark secrets that lie within the house that is now her home. So far so good, but again, not very far into it yet. I've yet to reach the spooks

[@emmahinds]

I look forward to these videos every month! Some books I think are especially good on audio are Know My Name by Chanel Miller, My Body by Emily Ratajakowski (both memoirs narrated by the author), Episode 13 by Craig DeLouie (horror about a ghost hunting reality show), None of this is true by Lisa Jewell (thriller w/ some fun mixed media), and Thank you for listening by Julia Whelan (a romance between audiobook narrators- & the author is a well known narrator)📚🍂

[@Frouwke]

I'm currently actually reading The House in the Cerulean Sea! My goal is to read (I mostly listen) 70 books this year, I'm currently at 56. 😁

[@jennymiller4815]

For the holiday season you should get In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren. It was a good Christmasy love story and just as good as her other books.

[@akellerhouse83]

I read 11 books in Sept too! That's a lot of books, Betty Jean. Most people don't read 11 books in 6 months. I mostly read science fiction and fantasy, and memoirs of people escaping scientology. Lol. I don't know if you would be interested in anything I read, but I'll list them for you: Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff, Strange Dogs and Babylon's Ashes by James SA Corey, The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie, Prophet of Edan by Philip Chase, Fallen by Benedict Jacka, All the Dead Shall Weep by Charlaine Harris, and then a few more. I recommend the Vampire one but it's really dark.

[@Breighyn]

Empire of the Vampire was so good! I cant wait for the next one!

[@glitterroach]

Try The Daevabad Trilogy by Shannon A. Chakraborty. And also read original Mortal Instruments trilogy, it is fun. And I swear by kindle. If the book blows me away then I buy a physical copy that way I have a more curated library.

[@glitterroach]

And for spooky month read Graveyard book by Neil Gaiman and The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury it's cute story about history of Halloween.

[@KaoruKun]

I really enjoyed The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy, I read it this year as well. It was a pretty fast paced read for me and I finished it in two days or so. I liked the kind of magical realism of their world. I recommend House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson and A Marvelous Light by Freya Marske! House of Hunger is a kind of retelling of the Elizabeth Bathory legend and A Marvelous Light is the beginning of a fantasy trilogy set it Edwardian England.

[@battybean]

I have A Marvelous Light & wanna read it this month!

[@Virgosrb94]

Not an audible but on kindle a Kelly st. Clare book series called coven caves the first book is called first ritual I was very pleasantly surprised what a great read the first 2 books were. I’m currently waiting till January for the next one to come out. Has great humor and all the witchy vibes and mysteries and some romance too

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

I absolutely love all your book videos!! 🙌🏻💜✨ I also really enjoyed seeing you play with some of your singles! I didn't know that brand did single shadows, so that was a nice treat. I've always got an eye out for interesting single shadows. 😸

[@briannabarnett7616]

I’m reading butcher and blackbird by brynne weaver

[@thelady_stardust]

Very interesting book ideas, I am really thinking about reading/listening to Jennette's book. Because I also had to struggle with the same problem concerning food... It triggers but I can handle it well by now. . As far as thrillers go, I highly recommend Simon Beckett's David Hunter series, great author.

[@cathyamerine5140]

If you haven’t read Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus and The Reading List by Sara Neisha Adams check them out. Those have been my standout books for the year.

[@battybean]

I wanna read lessons in chemistry especially since the show is coming soon!

[@_leonora__7776]

I read „Evermore“ at the moment ☺️ I also REALLY LOVE the series „A Shade of Vampire“ from Bella Forrest. A totally different vampire story like no other ❤️

[@madinickoloff3527]

Just wanted to come on here and say that I've been reading Lucy Score's Knockemout series because you talked about the 3rd one in the this video, which is the one I'm reading now, and let me just say that I was not prepared to enjoy them as much as I did. I'll probably finish Things We Left Behind today which means I'll have read all three books in just as many days, maybe a little longer because I had to wait for the other two to be delivered, but I was pleasantly surprised! It's not a genre I usually reach for (give me dragons and magic or give me death 😅) but the whole series was SO GOOD. Definitely need to fill my shelves with more of Lucy's books!

[@michelehartshaw8659]

The Jenny McCarthy book was fantastic, I cried and laughed it was very triggering for me, but I didn't put it down. I definitely agree with you on the Lucy Score books they were an awesome trilogy and I am sad it's over. I am currently reading Daisy Jones & The six. It's been on my TBR for a long while, and it kept getting pushed back as so many good things came out that I had to read. Hope you have a wonderful day!😘💜☠️🧙‍♀️👻🎃🍂

[@battybean]

Loveddd Daisy Jones! The show was super good too!

[@holliebivens2259]

I loved Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime as an audiobook, and JVN’s autobiography. Lessons in Chemistry worked really well as an audiobook too in my opinion ❤

[@KatrinaBrucke]

Born a Crime was soooo much fun to listen to. He did a really great job narrating his book.

[@Littlemissartsie]

I love Lucy Score! Her books are amazing

[@reneeeasley]

Recently read the Gild series and it was so good and the 5th book comes out later this month! Amazing fantasy enemy’s to lovers with a MFC who comes into her own after being sheltered.

[@MsMendez78]

I loved the Knockemout series also!! I’m sad it’s over lol. The Lucian and Sloane story was my favorite.

[@laurengarrison8804]

Would you do a list of fun spooky or witchy books that you love in October? I would love some recommendations.

[@battybean]

I don’t know for sure that I’ll have time for that specifically but I link all of the books on my reading wrap ups! You can find them all super easy on my playlist!🖤

[@nerdywolfe3594]

I love these reading wrap ups so much. It makes me feel like I'm in a book club 😂 and gives me more books to add to my TBR!

[@patriciapawloski1750]

I’m Reading DAIsy Jones and the Six

[@jenbrook2633]

I’m reading five survive by Holly Jackson 📕📗📘📙📙

[@elianebustamante1029]

I recomend the book malala

[@lillianklymiuk]

[@courtneycreatista7089]

I was the 80th like of this video. I like your makeup & thx for the book recommendations

[@angelaaubergine999]

Loving the book reviews! Thanks for sharing your recommendations. Look into Richelle Mead she's got some great books 📚

[@razulflabbin]

For good audiobooks-not a memoir but a non-fiction book! The Truth About Animals by Lucy Cooke. Cooke is British and has a masters in Zoology and she narrates her own audiobook, which makes her dry British humor shine. Each chapter is devoted to a different animal and delves into weird and wacky things about that animal. Eels, vultures, hippos, frogs, hyenas, penguins, sloths, beavers. I laughed. I cringed. I’ll never look at penguins the same way again.

[@Ebrill_Owen]

I have a book recommendation! It’s called House Of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski. It’s kind of a horror and the reading style is unlike anything I’ve ever read before. If you like horror you may like it.

[@roxschannel]

Recently i loved Confess by Colleen Hoover and One true loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid 👌

[@battybean]

I wanna read one true loves!!

[@roxschannel]

@@battybean so good! Such an emotional roller coaster!

[@ashesonmylashesheathereaglen]

I'm new to your channel, so I'm not sure what you've read. I've been listening to and reading the Zodiac academy, and I really love it! I copied the description There's 8 of them in the series I think, I binge read a book a day 😅 I'm a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I'm Fae. But of course, there's a catch - all I have to do to claim my birth right is prove that I'm the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically, that's true as I'm the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn't put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could. The school they've sent me to is both dangerous as sh*t and one helluva party. Vampires bite weaker students in the corridors, the Werewolf pack has orgies in the Wailing Wood at every full moon and don't even get me started on the dark and twisted ways the Sirens use their powers on people's emotions, or how my sinfully tempting Cardinal Magic teacher hosts detentions that leave people needing therapy. Classes are totally interesting if you manage to live through them. And that Gemini star sign I mentioned? It now determines my elemental magic and affects my destiny, so learning astrology is essential if I'm going to beat down my classmates - which is actively encouraged by the way. My biggest problem is the drool worthy Dragon shifter, who has his eyes on my throne. He and his three psycho friends are determined to make my time here hell. All I've got to do is survive. But fate might have other ideas. Dammit, why couldn't I have gotten a letter to Hogwarts?

[@battybean]

Oh that sounds interesting!
