Reading backlist thriller and horror books (a book like Squid Game) || Upside Down Readathon 🍁

[@mellorine893]

“tell me which flavor is your favorite and also if you don't say watermelon then your wrong. sorry” gabby 😭🤣

[@katie5827]

I just adore how supportive your mom is 😭😭😭

[@katie222_]

I love that you review these thrillers because I love reading them and every time I go to the book store I get so overwhelmed in the thriller section because all of the covers and the summaries are so similar that I never end up buying any. Now I just look up the books you review and go buy them that way! ♥

[@WhitneyYadonArt]

So glad to see a video where Gabby be like “OMG I am so bored” bc that’s been my struggle rn. I’ve listen to two audiobook and started one physical book and was just miffed at how bored I was!

[@17caria]

I am so glad you didn't fall off the bed talking to us upside down--I was worried for a second there!

[@tiredofit4761]

Green apple Jolly Ranchers are my favorite. Watermelon next. Your vlogs are so fun.

[@KendalsPages]

I love seeing what everyone read for the readathon because now my tbr is growing again😅

[@laurakaat252]

Super fun video! I love reading at the lake we go to, so soothing.

[@rebeccasummerhill8010]

I love when you refer to reading a book as “bust out” 😂

[@haydentarbuck9960]

Same!🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laugh out loud every time I hear it

[@blending_in]

@@haydentarbuck9960 same lol

[@emmahogg3367]

I get such a sense of nostalgia watching your videos. I went to university in and around your local area and the comfort I find in your clips at familiar parks and streets that meant the world to me during my college years fills my heart in a way I didn’t know I needed! Just finish reading, “The Troop,” upon your recommendation and LOVED it. Keep representing the WA readers and providing a sense of familiarity in the book community✨

[@gabbyreads]

That’s so sweet thank you!! So glad to hear you enjoyed The Troop! 💕

[@happyhauntslibrary]

I always enjoy watching your horror/thriller vlogs!!!

[@sharaththallapally5208]

FOE is in my tbr forever now it's time to pick it up as my next read immediately. Such a fun vlog gabby 💙

[@idkwhattonamemyself9326]

You're making me to get into manga. I have never read any manga but this year i might have a look.

[@BohoBookworm]

All the Fall and Halloween vibes!! Love your Woodsboro sweater!! The Six.. what a let down!!

[@happyhauntslibrary]

Can’t wait for the Halloween readathon!

[@bookswithlexie]

Oh I'm super interested in Foe now! I had it floating around in my Storygraph tbr but I probably wouldn't have gotten to it anytime soon and now I may try to read it in October!

[@judychapman1868]

Gabby, I really enjoyed watching your video, you’ve inspired me to read books I would not normally pick up!!! I’m starting “we Have Always lived in the Castle” tomorrow. I think I’ll look for “The Ghost Tree” for a TBR. Thanks for sharing! Judy

[@SorryBookedSolid]

I loveee books that make you want to google interpretations of the ending. I need to pick up Foe!

[@moonchild8422]

My favorite Jolly Rancher is definitely the peach ones! They took that flavor away for a long time but I recently found just a bag of all peach at the store!

[@gabbyreads]

I didn’t even know peach was a flavor 👀

[@Ihearbooks]

Loved your reaction to Foe. I haven't read it but I am putting it on my list right now. It is said there are only really two types of stories: A man goes on a journey or A stranger comes to town. All stories fall into one of these trops. This for sure sounds like the one I love best--The stranger comes to town with a little sci fi thrown in. (almost like the Humans only scarier).

[@gabbyreads]

That’s so fascinating 😍

[@getaspine7076]

I LOVED Foe. I’m surprised a lot of IR’s fan base hasn’t read it still. I also had to sit with it for a while and it still baffles me two year later! What an oddball domestic thriller.

[@shinypeanut8631]

your dad at 30:23 has me dead

[@gabbyreads]

🤣🤣🤣 he does this so often I didn’t even notice it while editing this video lmao

[@VeraFran]

I am fascinated by Ian Reid's writing. I enjoyed Foe a lot and kept wondering what was going to happen. I believe the best thing is to not force yourself to read. Give yourself a break if your mind is not focusing at the moment . It's better in the long run.

[@bookswithbray]

Catching up on all of your videos and I just put a hold on the audio for Foe at my library 😊

[@wageeshasdiary]

Awesome ❤ Always enjoying your videos gabby ☺️

[@KendalsPages]

I loved the special intro🥹🫶🏻

[@vataidalma6855]

Watermelon flavored candy is always the best 🙌🙌 I read a couple books for this readathon - The Hacienda, Stay Awake, Kill Joy (the prequel to A Good Girl's Guide to Murder) and Daisy Darker. Tbh most of it was kind of forgettable but I LOVED Stay Awake 🙌

[@KendalsPages]

Okay I have been so curious in Blue Flag so I'm convinced to get it now👏🏻

[@KendalsPages]

You really have me wanting to try out The Six!

[@sydlovesbookss8352]

I love watermelon and green apple

I’m so happy you loved Foe!! One of my faves!

[@kellyf8500]

Gabby sorry, but no. Blue raspberry is the best jolly rancher, THEN watermelon 🤣 I’m super interested in reading Foe now! I definitely think I’m going to either love it or hate it though

[@scarletbuffy7562]

I have managed to get the six in my kindle and I can't wait to read it thanks to you gabby😃😄

[@Lauren_Jeanne_]

Hahaha your into of being upside down 😂😍 👏🏻 thank you so much for participating 💛

[@blending_in]

32:21 literally me lmao

[@mariyajaveedkhan159]

Omg!! 80k subscribers!! Congrats gabby

[@sydneytalk_dewey_to_me9304]

Green apple 🍏 agree that grape is nasty though.

[@lesliepowell-mccarty7067]

I really enjoyed The Ghost Tree. I actually have liked everything I have read by Christina Henry. I'm sorry you thought it was boring. 😟

[@tishitaai5538]

I love the videos with mutilple thriller books.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Gabby happy Sunday morning and I loved your channel and your vlogs is amazing and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@katekurosky2042]

Blue raspberry jolly ranchers are my favorite. The grape is definitely disgusting!

[@s.m.m6710]

Love your channel 🥳

[@SlimeAndSlashers]

Another awesome vlog with great editing too! I am totally going to buy some of your sister's spooky season merch! It's beyond adorable 🤩🤗 great job on this vlog and thanks for sharing with us 😊

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks so much!! 😌💕

[@arobinreads]

Awesome vlog! 🙂 I'm excited now to read Foe. I didn't really like I'm thinking of ending things, because of a certain problematic part (in my opinion). But Foe sounds good!

[@blending_in]

Can I ask which part is problematic? You can put a spoiler warning for people who haven't read it yet, but I'm really curious (I've read it btw)

[@arobinreads]

@@blending_in I'm just going to be very vague. Basically the "bad guy" had a lot of characteristics from someone with autism. I have autism myself and I really disliked that. In this way people with disabilities are portrayed often and I just hate that.

[@queenkim8631]

Watermelon & Cherry Jolly Ranchers are tied for 1st😩! It sucks that the books you read weren't amazing but I'm glad you're enjoying Blue Flag!!!

[@NECROBLOOD666]

you need to read more horror books then you won't be bored lol!

[@PattyEverAfter]

The Six sounds like a horror comedy (TV series) that came on TBS named Wrecked. I wonder if there connected somehow?

[@SorryBookedSolid]

The special intro you made!!! 🤩 I love it

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks Jordyn!!! 😌💕

[@blending_in]

Can't wait to read Foe

[@Kamiefanton42]

I love your videos

[@anastasia7966_]

I found the first volume of 20th century boys at a savers and I’ve yet to read it but I want to!

[@angelaroberts7417]

Yes! Watermelon!❤

[@samihess1183]

I actually ended up really liking The Ghost Tree!

[@honeybunchesoflit4421]

Cherry & watermelon jolly ranchers 🤤

[@nerwinwillowcrow8035]

where did you get that Woodsboro sweater cause its awesome and I kind of need that in my life?!

[@gabbyreads]

it's from Etsy!

[@ol.a2440]

So close to 80K subscribers!🙊

[@aracelimendoza774]

The six sounds like Squid Games lol

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Okay I think I need The Six…

[@somedayillbeontime965]

Love your videos 😊

[@sharaththallapally5208]

We hate fantasy here huh gabby 🤣🤗

[@HeatherB81]

It is so interesting to me that a lot of people can listen to audiobooks at 2X speed or faster! How do y’all keep track of what they are saying?! That’s so fast! 🤣 The fastest I can late. Is 1.25-1.35X!

[@ashleywilliams5054]

Ya that sucks that half of the book for was missing, I had a Similar situation happen once. I bought the book the hobbit years ago from indigo in Canada and when I got to the bus depot to catch my bus i opened the book to read it and realized that most of the pages in the copy of the hobbit I bought were blank so I had to go back to indigo and exchange it for a new copy that had writing on all the pages. I haven't had that happen since but now when I buy a book I always check the book to make sure no pages are missing and there is printing on all the pages

[@gabbyreads]

So strange!! 👀

[@Neil-writer-author]

Green apple

[@zoec9598]

Please read Fairy Tale. By Stephen King!

[@lesliepowell-mccarty7067]

It's so good!! 🖤🧡🖤

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great vlog

[@rainydayreader5126]

You should have started the video by turning the camera upside down 😂

[@nancyjones1093]

Watermelon and cheery

[@olenya2379]

Why does the six sound like Squidgame😅Anyways great recommendations and enjoyed the vlog❤️

[@Jillybeanzxo]

I just read The Violence and The Children on The Hill and both books had me feeling the same way you did about The Ghost Tree in that i didn’t know if I was reading a horror a thriller a fantasy or a flippin contemporary lol

[@jamesduggan7200]

Hey Gabby, I just overheard you say you're bored with a current selection, so I thought I would suggest you take a week, or two or three, to write a short story. Just a thought :)

[@tilottama_banerjee]

Just a small question. How the hell do you understand a book in 2.6x speed??????????? Love from India by the way :)

[@dana7340]

As you are listening bump the speed up a little at a time. Your brain will adapt and have no trouble understanding as long as you increase the speed gradually.

[@komaedacoffee4298]

The Foe was so boring.... UNTIL THE END 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@CrisAna5]

Watermelon 💯.

[@eliotopian]

FOE: ugh. I forget how many pages it is. lets say 250. I feel like it was an amazing 75 page novella that got stretched out with an extra 175 pages of "the mans coming up the path. hes gonna annoy me. oh, look... hes annoying me... now hes gone. now were confused... and annoyed.... 3 months pass and nothing happens.... oh, the mans coming up the path... repeat forever and drag on for all eternity and be so annoyed because 'im thinking of ending things' was so fridges amazing, and then THIS mess! UGH! why did I not adore this nonstop repetitive monotony?! lol

[@Tarasreadingnook]

The Ghost Tree was fine ... it was slow there for a bit .. but I finish it and was glad I found out whom or what was killing those girls . It has a trop I like in some horror, myth stories but I cannot say cause it would spoil the book for those whom want to read it. Least you tired the readca thons. Those things don't work out for me. Expically week/ weekend read a thons I do alright with month long ones. But I do try them I just to record or anything just incase it doesn't work out.

[@booksbeautylifestyle256]

Where'd you get your boots?

I got them years ago now so I'm not totally sure, but I think I got them second hand at Goodwill or Value Village!

[@sasapejcin3568]

I didn't like The six! It was long-winded with over the top and ridiculous ending and half of the action i couldn't imagine in my head because it was wierdly described! 3 stars is maybe a little generous but it was better than 2 star book!

[@holliyates10]

Ugh I did not like One of the Girls at all. I think I gave it 2 stars. Basically nothing happens until the very end and it was still dumb.
