HALLOWEEN Book Recommendations! 🎃

[@HaileyinBookland]

I ended up putting up the Halloween recommendations before my Fall recommendations video since so many of you were asking for it, so the Fall recommendations will be out next week or the week after!

[@nooreenpunya4500]

Your books recs are what I live for💜💜

[@genevieveking5078]

I am lucky books don't scare me easily. I recommend Goosebumps and the Rot & Ruin series to anybody in this season. In less they don't like zombies or middle grade horror.

[@vilvin2893]

I'm an easily scared person, but at the same time sometimes want to read something mysterious and spooky. Having recommendations from the person with the same taste is absolutely amazing! Thank you for the video!

[@thenamescara64]

Ok real talk, Coraline is TERRIFYING! Whoever decided to classify the movie as ‘childrens’ is crazy XD

[@yup2315]

I'm so desensitized to it at this point, because it was my childhood best friend's movie. So I just really enjoyed the art of the graphic novel 😂

[@oliviabrakel6129]

It is a YA horror book, but fun fact it wasn’t meant to be really.

[@mystupidlittlelife3368]

Whoever thinks that movie is terrifying is crazy

[@laceywiththebooks]

My 7-year-old loves it though! 😩

[@judithcakelover]

I want to read so many from this list & I have a few gothic classics on my Oct TBR: Dracula, The Picture of Dorian Grey and The Haunting of Hill House. I'm currently reading Mexican Gothic.

[@eliiizabethrae]

mara dyer is one of my comfort series!!! so cool that you mentioned it, no one ever does!

[@nandadoc]

I looove Coraline!! I read it whenever I'm in a reading slumb! My tbr list includes The unbecoming, Sadie and the Diviners. But I will be checking out the rest of your recommendations!

[@merle-k]

I just read the first two books of the Diviners series and yes, they have the perfect Halloween atmosphere!! And I am about to start Truly Devious and I just hope I love it because I got the whole box set... (the first book wasn't available in my country when I ordered it)

[@merle-k]

okay quick update: read the first 100 pages of truly devious and I am hooked. I can barely put it down.

[@celie10]

Yessss. I read Babysitters Coven and the second one, For Better or Cursed. I still have to read the third one that just came out. I enjoyed These Witches Don’t Burn as well. Picking up the sequel today. And you should totally continue the Truly Devious series! I read them all and flew through them. I love Stevie and trying to solve the mysteries along with her.

[@sumayyahislam3838]

omg the unbecoming of Mara dyer series is one of my favourites i read the entire thing in 3 days. You should read the spin-off which is from Noah's pov as u find some crazyyyy things about Mara which will change your view completely.

[@KandraKSwiftie1985]

I am currently reading the Diviners series. I totally understand what you mean about taking a while to read. I am enjoying it though. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@confessionofabookdragon]

I really enjoyed Sadie's audiobook. I know you were debating on this book, to me The Last Magicians reminds me so much of the Diviners series

[@kateg9437]

My reads for October are Witches by Roalf Dahl, Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell, Salem Witch Society by K N Shields, Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka and Unwind #4 by Neal Shusterman

[@leilanibaby3975]

coraline is my favorite book of all time though! it's really good. it's supposed to be scary!

[@michellenaomi495]

My Halloween tradition is to listen to a diviners book (the audiobooks are fenominal) and this is my fourth year with the final book. These books are the perfect amound of scary, but I cannot listen to them rigth before bed though. I am really excited to see where it ends, but also kinda sad that the Halloween tradition will end.. but first I need to finish another spooky read: these witches don't burn

[@sarahwilson9419]

I'm reading a True Crime book about a the main character Dee who's friend Sibby went missing Ten years ago and she is the only witness of that night of her abduction. She has her own a true crime podcast of her own called Radio Silence and does missing person reports with the help of online sleuths to solve them (also called the Seeker behind the scenes) and no one knows its her. The main thing about the story is that a little girl ends up going missing and ends up being linked to the disappearance of Sibby and she has to try to solve it with the help of her virtual detective friends and the new girl at school by Tom Ryan called I Hope You're Still Listening.

[@BriaLuis]

Love all of your recs for Halloween! Some I've read and some I just added to my Goodreads "want to read" (ever-growing) list. I'm currently listening to the audio book version of "The Year of the Witching" by Alexis Henderson and so far it is scaring the heck out of me and I'm loving it! Although I am sorta wishing I had saved this one closer to Halloween week. Love this vid!

[@k.c.chrissy5595]

I love Halloween & Halloween movies. Fangs by Sarah Anderson is a fun book for fall. But, on scarier terms, My Heart Is A Chainsaw is a great Halloween read.

[@EpicReads]

Loving these witchy books!

[@nataliehale96]

I can totally relate to being easily creeped out and not loving halloween and Coraline traumatised me quite badly.

[@DaveTMusic1991]

My recommendation is Brian Keene Dark Hollow

[@BookishRaider]

Check out the Blue Bloods series by Melissa De La Cruz, I've read the first couple of books in the series so far and recommend them.

[@WiseDragon50]

Reading Home Before Dark right bow and having fun with it. Very Amityville/Haunting of Hill House vibes 👍

[@SMHLG]

Is it possible to have a written list of those books ?Thanks for sharing this

[@morganjones2744]

Great choices! Enjoyed the Diviners (read book 1), Sadie, and Truly Devious trilogy and the newest stand alone book after the trilogy-enjoued them all a lot!!! Enjoying a House of Salt and Sorrows. ❤️🥰

[@nalhsreiqrs8289]

I recommend reading The Passion of Dolssa during fall. 🙂

[@ZoeMikelStites]

If you want halloween cozy mystery I super recommend The Body at the Bakery and its whole series by Stella Berry. Cute english small town, witches and murder mystery

[@katiesantamaria6695]

I’m actually reading miss peregrines right now! I binged read the diviners series last year thanks to your recommendations and LOVED it I loved every book so far so I’m guessing we have the same taste! I like Halloween I love getting scared but like I’m too lazy to dress up or anything like that so it’s a love hate relationship lmao Love your channels!!

[@hannadavis6867]

Nightfilm is my everything!! Sure it was a little creepy at one point ( Im a scaredy cat as well) but otherwise... Ugh it was basically a thriller version of Evelyn Hugo♥️

[@remarkablylisa]

I'm reading so many books that focus on Halloween and it's fun!

[@MaryLolaQueen]

I get scared so easily too. So thank you so much for the recommendations!!!!!

[@crazybooklady2104]

And the trees crept in is a really good book I highly recommend

[@z_luvz_bookz]

Don’t feel bad.... you and I are almost exactly like when it comes to Halloween and being spooked.... I am not a fan of Halloween except for the candy aspect. I don’t like being scared at all ! I do like autumn vibes though, and the only book I basically read around this time of year is Pumpkinheads.

[@Lanaxparillaxwife]

I love the diviners series & you’re making me want to reread again 😩. I liked the undead girl gang but it’s been a while since I read it tho. I love Sadie I recommend people listen to the audiobook instead of reading it physically. I love truly devious series

[@Candie183]

I am reading The Diviners now. 🙃

[@alicewiegold4425]

Not exactly Halloween, but I think the Skulduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy is a good read for fall for anyone who wants to try something new The Demon Road trilogy, by the same author, might be more on the line of scares and horror, so be careful

[@chelseafox8685]

I just finished reading Cemetery Boys and just wow! It was fantastic!

[@cristianamarques99]

WE LOVE HAILEY'S VIDEOS

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Thanks for the great recommendations!! The Bone Houses & Kingdom of the Wicked sound so so great! 🦇

[@T12-s7u]

I'm definitely with you! I hate Halloween but love the cute things about fall🧡🤎

[@emmasmith4833]

Have you read 'Alice' by Christina Henry? It's a dark version of Alice in Wonderland. I didn't find it particularly scary but it is very dark with some of the stuff that goes on. Very creepy vibes. But also very interesting to see these different versions of well known characters. It can also get quite graphic and gory in places sometimes.

[@melindarichardson9887]

I just finished The Lantern's Ember by Colleen Houck (author of The Tigers Curse series). I couldn't recommend this book enough! It had so many fun Halloween/Fall elements. Everyone should check it out!

[@momma2871]

I never see anyone mention this one and I loved it!

[@Mimpfen]

I loved a House of Salt and Sorrow! I had to put that book down for a hot minute because I was a bit freaked out xD I also liked the Truly, Devious series, and I am about to read the spinoff book "The box in the woods"! I would also recommend "The Year of the Witching". It's not necessarily scary, but it's a really creepy story.

[@louisity]

To add in this list, I recommend See Me by Nicholas Sparks. 📝 It is more of a suspense/thriller book. 📖

[@tajosima]

I've been subscribed to your channel for years, even before the channel's name changed and your videos still make me so happy ^_^ thank you for making them **

[@minicafe888]

Did you see that Four Aunties and A Wedding came out? Sequel for Dial A For Aunties. I can't wait to read it. :-)

[@kyeoptawerk93ah]

Oh but you can totally turn spooky season into spoopy season tho! Spoopy season is just cutified Halloween vibes~ I prefer the cute Halloween things tbh but I do like some creepy, scary things. Loving all the Halloween/fall book recs from everyone

[@marineb9666]

This Halloween, I'm planning on reading Down comes the night, it seems like it has a creepy atmosphere but not too much 😅 (easily scared too) Also, I would recommend The Spook's series by Joseph Delaney. There is dark magic and Halloween vibes all along, but I was able to read them at night (not the first two, but the other ones)

[@Castergirl2313]

Hailey You are not alone I don’t like Halloween ether! I love your videos! Your the first booktuber I started watching/following!

[@beamingforbooks]

Love the recommendations! Especially for a lover of non-horror too!

[@KLC228]

Kinda funny you want to forget Coraline exists but keep brining it up 🎃 I would recommend, Garlic and the Vampire, Gustavo the Shy Ghost, Fangs, The Little Ghost Who Was A Quilt, Mooncakes

[@angelaholmes8888]

I really enjoyed the unbecoming mara Dyer I read it years ago

[@susannasmith9050]

Not Halloween related, but I would love to get a tour of the rainbow shelves. Sometimes a cover will catch my eye, but I can't read the title...

[@SailorJaszie]

Do you guys actually celebrate Halloween in Canada with Thanksgiving being in October? I ❤ your sweater!!!!!!!! My oldest son absolutely loves The Graveyard Book and asked that I read it so it's on my list. I love the Miss Peregrines series. I still need to read the last book. I might read There's Someone Inside Your House but I might literally think there is someone inside my house. I am a chicken too. I read a book called Home Before Dark by Riley Sager and that creeped the hell out of me so I am careful what I read esp at night or right before bed.

[@melanieheath9829]

Yes we do celebrate Halloween in October. The 31st. Or, at least, those who celebrate it do 😁

[@birdbrain3594]

Yes, we do celebrate Halloween even though it's a bit close to our Thanksgiving. What's weirder to me, as a Canadian, is how Americans celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas so close together. You need to spread out the turkey meals more lol. Halloween and Thanksgiving are very different holidays.

[@SailorJaszie]

@@birdbrain3594 Our Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are all in different months but all about approximately 3 weeks apart. I love that they all have their owns months so I can decorate each month.

[@kayleebooks1860]

Yessss I love autumn/Halloween books!!

[@chloeg3193]

Seeing Born Wicked being recommended warms my heart

[@SuperBurns78]

I'm currently reading a few classics; Dracula but Bram Stoker, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, and Jekyll and Hyde by Stevenson. Have you read those yet? In which video do you review them? Just because you said it's so terrifying, I might try out Coraline..

[@melanieheath9829]

Frankenstein is so good! Enjoy them all!!

[@beckyhanaver4275]

@ The Bone Houses... is it a bones day?

[@martynabrzostek9300]

I love halloween recommendations! Thank you for this video :)

[@carysgwenllian]

I saw the trailer for There's Someone Inside Your House as it played automatically on Netflix and didn't realise for a while that it was based on the book, because the trailer and age rating (18 in the Uk) gives off very slasher/graphic vibes and not very ya or teen at all? So that confused me lol. Tbh I haven't read that book but I would assume that it's horror for teens, and the movie has definitely aged it up.

[@barbarianvee]

"i don't like Halloween just cute Fall" Me *putting out a dozen glass pumpkins and a cute felt witch, not a single Halloween decor* I knowww what you mean 👍

[@allbookedbailey1029]

You are not alone!!! I also do not like Halloween lol, I love pumpkins, fall leaves, even cute little doodles of ghosts...but beyond things that can be classified as cute,,,I am out lmfao

[@jennawar13]

I think you’d like the ex hex it’s a cute witchy romance

[@zfantastical6756]

I love your 📚 like really love them

[@evareads2817]

Halloween is not really my thing either :D thank you for these recommendations:)

[@stevencarsley2446]

Hi Hayley Another good video I am Reading October Nights by Kevin Lake

[@meljstephan]

I love The Graveyard Book. Underrated

[@mekennabowers8797]

Revenge and the wild by michelle modesto

[@breannawilliamson9787]

The Diviners scared me WAY more than Coraline. 🤣

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Yes, Sadie is so good 🎉

[@justpassingby005]

Home before dark, the exorcist, silence of the lambs...😭😭😭

[@lawrencesrl822]

[@houda.bel15]

Verity by Colleen Hoover is a great creepy fall/Halloween read!

[@Midalias25]

Oh great bc I planned to read it in Oct

[@creativesparks2164]

Is it set in fall?

[@insanebutterfly3439]

I think Ninth House would be another good book

[@monikakamila]

I read there’s someone inside your house

[@madi.is.haunted]

Girl, how did you know I was going to B&N today?!

[@CreativeJewelsAdventures]
