[@WickedScorpio]

[@vitareads]

Great haul. I'm really loving weird girl lit this month. Most of these I've read or our on my tbr, but I just added Nefando because I also loved Jawbone.

[@WickedScorpio]

Same!! I'm eating it up right now. I can't wait to get to nefando but I'm also scared because I want it to be another 5 star so I need to chill and not get too over hyped in my head 😅

[@craftyreader0131]

Omg Weyward was AMAZING! 5 stars for me!

[@WickedScorpio]

I can't wait to read it 😍😍 i love a witchy, historical, women-centric story

[@moniisaper]

Monstrilio was the best book of 2023 for me !! Sooo beautiful and heartbreaking !

[@WickedScorpio]

Happy to hear that! I haven't heard anyone talking about it, so that motivates me to pick it up eventually lol

[@TheSkaye92]

I LOVED House of Hollow.

[@WickedScorpio]

It was so good!!

[@TheLillyLibrary]

So many great recommendations! Thanks for this! ☺️

[@mrs.pizzareads]

Woodwitch sounds…interesting 😂😂😂 Happy reading

[@WickedScorpio]

Hahahahah I was ~shocked~ reading that. Apparently it's an older book originally published before 2000, so 😬😬 I'm worried for the tone but I will see and report back eventually 😂

[@syd2765]

Oooo so excited for this😍😍🩵

[@longfatallovechase]

Such a great haul❤ hope you enjoy Crimson Moth. I read it last month. It was an enjoyable quick read!

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you!! I've heard great things about it!

[@MeMyDogAndBooks]

I really enjoyed Weyward 🧙🏻‍♀

[@WickedScorpio]

Love to hear that!! 🖤

[@Kritz_Reads]

You having the same reaction reading the synopsis of Woodwitch as me 🤣🤣🤣 Great haul! Lots of fun-sounding books here

[@WickedScorpio]

I was so stunned 🤣🤣

[@Kritz_Reads]

@@WickedScorpio yeah, it turns out that book was written awhile ago. In the 80s, I think?

[@WickedScorpio]

@Kritz_Reads oh boy.. that's not a good sign 👀 there were already enough red flags lol. I can bet on a lot of misogyny

[@ybell10]

special editions are soooo cool!! wowww

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@goddessnix444]

currently reading one for my enemy by olive blake and i am OBSESSED. highly recommend. i started reading olivie blake with the atlas six and personally really enjoyed it. but one for my enemy is a romeo and juliet inspired story featuring two powerful witch families in underground new york city and it is incredible.

[@WickedScorpio]

I have that one!! I literally have like four of her books but have yet to read one 🙈 maybe I'll start with one for my enemy! It sounds so good

[@DauntlessBookReader]

I love norse mythology so I'm very much looking forward to A Fate Inked In Blood ✅️

[@WickedScorpio]

Same!! I need more norse inspired books. The only other ones I've read were the witch's heart and krampus by brom

[@bookinhand_]

I loved Last Days! Some parts genuinely freaked me out !

[@WickedScorpio]

It sounds so good! I'm so excited to read it. I'll definitely prioritize it over summer

[@iLastStar]

The video just start but OMG, your hair is gorgeous!

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you 🥹🖤

[@1U7S7A6]

Just Subscribed! House of Hollow is my favorite on here. Your hair is gorgeous

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you so much! 😊 House of Hollow is so good!!

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great book haul. I just placed a small thrift books order today. Future book haul coming soon. 📚☕👻🦇🎃

[@MeMyDogAndBooks]

I have Penance our from my library rn!

[@WickedScorpio]

Ooo I hope you're enjoying it! I definitely want to read it eventually

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

oou The Honeys!! 🌼🍯🐝 one of my favorite Horror books read last year! I need to re-read that. If you liked Bunny you should like this too. Horror starts on first page so buckle up 😆

[@WickedScorpio]

I can't wait to get to it!! 😍

[@amymaddess3325]

The Honeys is one of my fav as well. Wouldn’t consider it YA

[@AshWednesday06]

I loved Monstrilio!

[@WickedScorpio]

I can't wait to get to it 🥰 I hear amazing things!

[@goodmornindreamer]

Just found your channel through recommendations and instantly love your vibes. Totally won't judge you for your book haul, I recently had a huge haul and might already be adding books from yours to my list....👀 Also I got My Heart Is a Chainsaw from Book Outlet and really need to read it 😅

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you so much 🥰✨️ hahaha the list is truly neverending. I really loved my heart is a chainsaw, I hope you do too!!

[@goodmornindreamer]

@@WickedScorpio I can't wait to read it. Maybe I'll start after I finish Voices in the Snow by Darcy Coates 👀

[@NinasLibrary]

If you like bug horror you might like She is a Haunting! Its YA horror but the bug parts in that are disgusting. Also Silver Under Nightfall is SO GOOD. It's so engaging and all the characters are amazing. I hope you have fun reading it!

[@WickedScorpio]

*immediately adds to want to read list* THANK YOU for the rec 🫶🏻🫶🏻 Seriously I have heard nothing but absolute praise for silver under night fall. Part of me wants to wait until the sequel comes out with the matching uk cover but idk if I can wait that long

[@katrinabrown]

Ohhh!! I've been so interested in Last Days! I've heard it's pretty disturbing! Awesome haul!! 😍🖤

[@WickedScorpio]

Ooo I love to hear that 👀 Thank you!!

[@RikkiPReads]

Your hair is lovely!

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you! ☺️

[@christinawhisler]

House of Hollow was really good.

[@WickedScorpio]

So good!!! 🌿🖤

[@CaffeinatedBookwoorm]

8:09 please tell me you have read the Ambergris trilogy by Jeff Vandermeer! Fungi horror its one of my absolute favorite trilogies ❤

[@WickedScorpio]

No but now I want to 😍😍 I JUST finished annihilation and didn't even realize he had another series. Adding it to the list right now

[@wendyvilla2904]

💚🖤

[@Jonathan-B_]

A lot of books that are gonna help The Jesters (the best team) to win Escape next month.

[@WickedScorpio]

Hell yeah 👏👏🎯

[@sabrinawalker8800]

If you like horror you need to read House of a Hundred Whispers by Graham Masterson.

[@WickedScorpio]

Ooo I will look into that. Thanks for the rec

[@dedicated2happiness]

i just found your channel and am obsessed! have you read organ meats yet? it's about girlhood and friendship and i think they turn into dogs.... lit fic horror

[@WickedScorpio]

I started it on audiobook, but I realized I wasn't paying enough attention and had no idea what was happening 😂 so I definitely need to read it physically. I will try again eventually. I read a k-ming chang short story in a collection and totally loved it!!

[@atlanablake]

How many cats you have? Three? That amy😊

[@WickedScorpio]

Yes I have three! 🥰

[@atlanablake]

@@WickedScorpio you so lucky they're so adorable 😍

[@doglover12345andfr]

I've wanted to read the Silver Under Nightfall books for a long time but I think the US covers are hideous. I ended up getting the Illumicrate editions and they are much nicer.

[@WickedScorpio]

Yeah that us covers are not my thing and if I don't like a cover, the odds of me picking up the book is very small 😂

[@almightyvock]

Do you collect books vs read? Seems odd to have 40 books at one time.

[@WickedScorpio]

Both! And I have wayyyyy more than 40 books. Welcome to booktube!

[@MoniqueBernic]

Oh dear. My personal library totals around 1000 books. I guess I am more than odd. Let people enjoy their hobbies!

[@dallasisgood]

You think the original Hansel & Gretel story is “kind of dark”? You have impossibly high standards for something to qualify for actually “dark”

[@WickedScorpio]

It's what happens when you read a lot of adult horror versus children's stories.

[@dallasisgood]

@@WickedScorpio haha fair enough.

[@YellowMoonReads]

The cover of The Cherished is misleading.... I hated that book 😭 Not only that, but it was a bit problematic with ableism and the author did not handle talk of mental health or race very well at all. The mother is a blatant narcissist but it's never addressed. And the way pregnancy is referred to as basically a burden and everyone just focuses on how fat and like a "whale" the character is, was just odd to me. (Just to list a few reasons I unfortunately did not enjoy it...) 😕
