Book recommendations that are NOT big on tiktok (yet) | books you (hopefully) haven't heard of...

Girl your accent is so amazing I absolutely ADORE it

[@_floharvey]

@@xliliankax9181 stop 🥹😫 that’s so sweet thank you 🩷

[@ain4951]

Love this video! Always love book recommendations that are not popular booktok/booktube books. Have never heard any of these books before

[@_floharvey]

YAY!! Thank you lovely 😇

[@ellyra412]

I keep being drawn up to the Lamplighters and it's pretty cover, you may have convinced me to finally pick it up. I have heard a lot about The Long Walk and Tender is the Flesh (and planned on picking them up eventually) actually but nothing about the other books.

[@_floharvey]

@@ellyra412 I hope you like it if you end up picking it up 🥰🩷

[@yagmurugur9904]

funny that the Long Walk is the only Stephen King that i've read haha, but i do believe it is one of his lesser known books. Tender is the Flesh is the only other book that i've heard of, so i think you did a good job finding hidden gems! thanks for the recommendations! i have an unpopular recommendation for you too. i know you like literary fiction and sometimes read mystery thrillers. this is a mystery thriller that reads more like literary fiction imo, so i think you might enjoy it! it's called Speak of the Devil by Rose Wilding. a man ends up murdered and 7 women whom he hurt in various ways are the prime suspects. basically a whodunnit, but it focuses a lot on how the guy hurt each of the women, and how they struggled and coped. (definitely check the trigger warnings though, it goes into some sensitive subjects.) thanks for the video! always looking forward to more! 💕

That actually sounds so up my alley, I will 1000% check that out, thank you for the rec lovely 🩷🩷

Tender is the flesh scares me - it keeps coming up on my recommended books and I just can’t bring myself to buy it 🫣 if I were to recommend books that I’ve not really seen talked about - it would have to be anything by Laura Shepard - Robinson, all of Natasha Pulley’s books, All the Colours of the Dark by Chris Whittaker (top book this year so far - adored it) and the Eddie Flynn series (you think you know where the book is going and then the author drops a major twist)! Love that you always recommend books that aren’t always the usual book tok type

[@_floharvey]

@@emreads8 omgg so many new recs!! I will check them out thank you lovely 😻😇

[@LylaAbbas]

I loved this! ♥️♥️ Some of the titles were def unfamiliar to me. And I'm glad I got myself some new TBRs 😊❤

[@_floharvey]

Yay!!! 🥰🩷

[@MelHamilton-Brown]

[@_floharvey]

@@MelHamilton-Brown omg YAY! I hope you enjoy 🩷🩷

Love getting new recommendations 😍

[@_floharvey]

@@helenharvey8062 hehe I’ve already made you read a few of these 🤪

[@illgiveyouthebooks]

I hope these blow up!! They all look so good

[@_floharvey]

@@illgiveyouthebooks me too!! 🙏🏻🥰

[@cait5070]

I've not heard of any of these! Great video!

[@_floharvey]

@@cait5070 YAY!! Thank you lovely 😇🥰

[@Bougie_Nerd]

I tend to look for videos that have at least one book I've heard of because then I know their tastes, and it gives me something to interact with. But I appreciate this style of video too :)

[@_floharvey]

@@Bougie_Nerd I often do the same! 😇

[@sharonlovesbooks]

The only one I had heard of was Tender is the Flesh. I looked up The Last Interview of Ada Fenn and found that the author has another book called My Wife Jodie that sounds interesting. They are both on KU so I have added them to my Kindle. Thank you for a great video 😊

[@_floharvey]

@@sharonlovesbooks oooh I’d love to know your thoughts if you end up reading them 🩷🩷

[@sharonlovesbooks]

@@_floharvey I will be sure to let you know when I do 😊

[@donnypeters-y9c]

Read and liked the Lamplighters. Was a 4 star for me

[@_floharvey]

@@donnypeters-y9c yay!! 😻🩷

[@jenny_readss]

Tender is the flesh is one of those that I say I didn't enjoy, but it's a great book!

[@_floharvey]

@@jenny_readss SO relatable 😅🩷

[@kimschaufeli5366]

Don't worry! I've only heard about 2 of them and have read none of them. Tender is the flesh sounds so weird, perfect for the coming season. Also added People of abandoned character to my tbr! Thanks for the vid❤

[@_floharvey]

@@kimschaufeli5366 omg yay!! I hope you love them (and yes tender is the flesh is weird as anything, but definetly a fall/winter book for sure!!)

[@kittymagica6408]

I have actually heard of The Lamplighters, but I think it was a random book StoryGraph was like “we think you’d like this”.

[@_floharvey]

@@kittymagica6408 I love the random recommendations from storygraph and Goodreads, I find the best books there!!

[@CulinaryCrime]

Does my TBR really need me to add more books to it? No. Will I still watch this video and add some new books anyway? Definitely.

[@_floharvey]

Oops 😅🙈

[@rebeccawickham7317]

Ive heard of tender is the flesh. Thats it 😊

[@_floharvey]

Yay!!! ☺️☺️☺️

[@CulinaryCrime]

How To Be Dead is giving Beetlejuice vibes. 😂

[@_floharvey]

Haha I totally see that 😅
