[@georgianic]

You gotta read Night Watching, it just came out. Its a terrifying home invasion book😮

[@georgianic]

this sounds SO GOOD! just downloaded to my kindle 🫢 thanks for the rec!!!

[@jorgelopez-pr6dr]

Do you have read the terryfing short stories "Mr. Justice Harbottle" and "Squire Toby's Will" by Sheridan Le Fanu, the series of ghostly tales in the book Can Such Things Be? by Ambrose Bierce and the classic book A Warning to the Curious by M.R. James? If you like the terror genre you will love these stories. They would be great reading for this month.

[@georgianic]

oooh i will add these to my TBR! i’m loving short stories recently! thank you for the recs :)

[@nadiameriouli5348]

You have got to read the last guests by J.P Pomare !

Burner by Robert Ford. Most traumatic story line in the best way. Human trafficking. Put The Last word on my Christmas TBR list.

ooooh i will have to add this one to my TBR! the last word is so fun, hope you enjoy!!!

honestly, this guy peopled like no other!

[@Meow-Meow501]

I can’t read The Troop because of the animal shit. Body horror is stuff I love but Cutter loves animal horror.

[@georgianic]

yes!!! i must say, i googled the chapter it was in so that i could prepare myself and definitely skim read 90% of the animal stuff so it wasn’t too harrowing - i got the idea but didn’t have to read in detail that way!!

[@meganb4898]

Thank you for the awesome recommendation vid! G. Hendrix honestly is one of the best horror writers of all time: did you meet him at a book signing?

[@georgianic]

thanks for your support my love!! 💖 he is incred!! oh i wish i had met him! snapped up the signed version at waterstones!!

[@danieleigh6468]

I didn’t like Hidden Pictures. It was so predictable.

[@georgianic]

that’s so interesting, i didn’t guess the end at all but then when it was revealed i was like “how did i not see this coming it’s so obvious” 😂

[@danieleigh6468]

@@georgianic I really wanted to love it! I did some of it. I just got September House I’m reading it so far it’s good I’m on chapter 5. Have you read it? I just got All Hallows by Christopher Golden. It looks good!!

@@danieleigh6468 I haven’t read either of those + I’m trying to scope out some good books for next month so I’m going to check these out immediately!! 😂☺️ thanks for the recs!!

[@tubeguito9555]

Hi, congratulations for your reviews. I have always followed your advice. I was really struck by the beauty of "Motion Detection", a thriller book that I found by chance on Amz while looking for a new book. The cover intrigued me, it's an unusual book with a spectacular ending, I highly recommend it!

[@georgianic]

just checked this out and the cover is so cool! plus it’s on kindle unlimited! win win 👏 thank you for watching + for the recommendation!
