[@mstamour90]

Booktubers are the NICEST people, you cannot tell me any different 😍😍

[@charlottemall154]

[@faithsreadingthings]

This video was so fun🥹🫶🏼

[@Sunset.lover13]

18:00 “my little family” that was so cute! 🥹

[@AshlynnCalee]

😭😫💖

[@Sam3liza1103]

Great video!! When you said Sara Carolli, I knew she was going to pick Rock, paper Scissors!!! I would also recommend for thrillers, Gone Girl, The Silent Patient, and The Housemaid and The Housemaids Secret. Also Ruth Ware and Riley Sager are great for thrillers too!!

[@lil_ydraws33]

I can’t wait to see your reaction to the Ballad of Never After! I liked it even better than the first one 😆

[@bujobyfilo]

Can't wait to read Once upon a broken heart and Finlay Donovan! Loved that Haley and Faith answered with a video, they're so sweet!

[@WHAT-I-LOVE]

When you were at the end of once upon a broken heart it was so fun to see your reaction because I knew exactly where you were at and I knew why you were making a reaction. It was just so much fun to watch your face as you’re getting closer and closer to the end because those of us who have read it know exactly how you felt at that moment. ❤ loved your video

[@tiggy4816]

Watching this while reading once upon a broken heart was so fun!!! Loved this!!! 🥹🥰💖

[@AshlynnCalee]

I think I’m going to this week!! It sounds soooo good!!

[@patriciamaerojas5774]

I’m gonna recommend any Lisa Jewell books for any thriller/mystery genre. They’re not that very scary but the twists on her books are amazing.

[@KcannyTBO]

Ohh, this video was great! I haven't read a lot of thrillers/mysteries but I did read Daisy Darker by the same Alice Feeney and I loved it, I was really surprised with the twists! Have an awesome day :)

[@AshlynnCalee]

Ooo! That sounds good😊 I will have to read that. Thank you so much friend! Have a lovely day as well!!🤍

[@Pokibean]

I'm so glad i found your channel through this video. It was so much fun to watch and now i have even more reading recs. I want to read, Once upon a broken heart so bad now. 😭

[@AshlynnCalee]

Aww!! Hi and welcome👋🏼🥰 I’m so glad you decided to stick around! that makes my heart so happy!

[@estrellaaaaa]

Seeing people read once upon a broken heart just makes me wanna read it already 😫 I’ve been waiting until the last book arrives but ughh it’s so hard to resist especially every time I see it in my bookshelf 🥺🩷

[@gabs392]

Highly recommend Killing Me by Michelle Gagnon it’s a thriller but has hilarious lines in there to turn the spookiness down a bit.

[@karensalynch9740]

I haven't read Once Upon a Broken Heart yet, but the Caraval series was probably my favorite read of the year. Her writing is so beautiful and unique compared to what I typically read. I'm hoping to read this one very soon!

[@nicabobokhidze9462]

Omg i found you just now and am subscribing right away. You have such a nice vibe❤❤

[@kerstinreads]

The Chestnut Series has been on my Wishlist for such a long time. I finally got the first two books a few weeks ago and can't wait to read them. 🥰🫶

[@annie2366]

i am reading The Ballad of Never After right now. Its great so far. I also have rock paper scissors on my TBR of august too. I think we like the same books!

[@dianaisme]

You are a ray of sunshine!!🌞

[@lilliewyant4086]

I just love your videos. You are such a dear tuber. Thanks for sharing.

[@crystal.abernathy]

The way I knew Sara was going to recommend Rock Paper Scissors as soon as you said thriller 😂 loved the video!

[@christirandazzo3769]

Such a cute video. This one probably took you awhile to put together. You did a great job. Love all of these recs. 😉

[@AshlynnCalee]

It took a while😅 thank you so much!! 🥰

[@allison.garcia]

Agreed it came out amazing!

[@raqperalta]

jasper and sloane's story is my favorite.. hope you read it and enjoy it. i'm also surprised by reckless.

[@opal555]

your freckles are so cute!! I just finished Once Upon a Broken Heart and I had the exact same reaction to the last pg

[@AshlynnCalee]

Aww!! Thank you so much🥹🤍

[@prerza]

this was so cute pls

[@bookishvee]

i love this trend so much

[@lyndseyspaeth]

highly recommend his and hers by alice feeney!! i loved it :)

[@EmberJune]

I just finished the inheritance games series. They were so much fun I really enjoyed them. I recommend listening to the audiobooks through Libby. I loved how the narrator did the voices for the brothers.

[@AshlynnCalee]

I love the inheritance games series!! I didn’t listen to the audiobook and now I’m wishing I did 😅

[@EmberJune]

@@AshlynnCalee omg Xander in the audiobook is my absolute favorite!!! If u go back for a reread before the 4th book comes out maybe check the audios out then. Luckily since they are on Libby it won’t cost anything lol

[@AshlynnCalee]

Ooooo!! You’re so right! I’m going to put in for my Libby loan right now haha🫡

[@priyar4885]

The newspaper articles look like Daily Prophets from the Harry Potter series, and I think you should read that series in September 1st! It's so good! Also, love your videos, and I love Haley, Sara and JB!

[@AshlynnCalee]

It may or may not be in the works 😏

[@kategrossi8717]

This book doesn't get enough credit and I haven't heard anyone talk about it on booktube.. but First Born by Will Dean is still my favorite thriller to this day.... the plot twist.... like holy cow, youll never see it coming! I highly recommend if you're looking for another thriller :) Keep up with great work with your videos, they're great

[@AshlynnCalee]

Ah! Thank you so much!!! That sounds so good🥰🤍

[@kathleenwhowell5731]

How exciting glad your reading books that other people requested. That sounds fun and exciting what people recommend. I am doing the same right now also. Thanks again your channel is good keep it up. ❤

[@bookishvee]

once upon a broken heart is truly one of the best books out there

[@kasandrafrias3083]

yay, the queen posted!!! 😍

[@katiewey9734]

So, I am a big fantasy and romance girly myself and for thrillers, Freida McFadden's books really helped me step my toes into the genre and I have not found a book by her that I have NOT enjoyed yet.

[@whisperingchapters]

This is such a cool idea!! I love it!

[@jordanvangerpen]

I recommend reading anything James Patterson. He is super easy to read and he writes in a way that makes the reader want to continue reading. Read Lost by James Patterson. Or even Family Lawyer by James Patterson.

[@zoefaith]

GIRL this video is so high quality and i absolutely love your energy!!! i just subscribed!! love a fellow christian girl + reader :)

[@MakennaJustesen-ux4xt]

I'm super excited for this video❤

[@faithsreadingthings]

Ahhh I’m so glad you liked it🥹🥹 it’s definitely a book for the girlies who don’t want scary thrillers but like mystery and a good laugh😂

[@AshlynnCalee]

YESSS!! 😭😂

[@AshlynnCalee]

Thank you so much faith for your rec🥰⭐️

[@berna_bookish]

I just finished Rock Paper Scissors and immediately checked your reaction. I think I'm a bit confused about the ending 😅

[@celestevolkmann1295]

How did you find the spice in Flawless? That's what's been holding me back too...

[@alexiss1457]

I'm starting a booktok account and I'm so excited for all the book buddies I'll make

[@ems5454]

Loooooove videos like thissss~

[@skyelorspacex]

First video of yours I’m watching and omg I love your channel

[@skyelorspacex]

Also highly recommend the A Good Girls Guide To Murder series

[@tessib.1043]

Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series is similar to Finley Donovan is Killing it.

[@andrearodriguez62]

“My little family” - OMG 🥹🥹🥹 My heaaaaaart

[@Taylor2Grace]

Historical Fiction/Mystery/Mild Thriller: Homecoming by Kate Morton 👌🏻 sooooo good!

[@megg904]

Yay new video woohoo 🥳 😊

[@AshlynnCalee]

I loved it!! I definitely want to read carnaval now!!!

[@AshlynnCalee]

Caraval 😅 silly autocorrect

[@AmandasBooktopia]

@@AshlynnCalee LOL. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!

[@elinviktoria]

you seem like such a sweet person omg

[@f1notreallyfatal]

Try the silent patient if you're looking for thrillers that are not too scary. Im a baby when it comes to scary books

[@hannahlikestoread]

I’d suggest Verity by Colleen Hoover! It’s a PHENOMENAL thriller or The Silent Patient!

[@BookswithKrista]

this was such a fun video ☺️

[@denniselopez3388]

You’re so adorable and kind! 🥺 what are your 5 star reads atm. Besides Red Rising 😂

[@AshlynnCalee]

Hahaha😭😂 this is so hard but as of this month I think crooked kingdom 🥺 how about you?!

[@xxzynpxx6010]

I had the same reaction with rock paper scissors I was so confused it was such a big plot twist it was really funny to see you had the same reaction

[@olivia_vid]

gurl, your so pretty! I LOVE your freckles! ❤ Also you should read The Girl I Used To Be by April Henry! It’s a murder mystery and a thriller I think?

[@AshlynnCalee]

Awww🥹 stop! Thank you so much!! 🤍 I am so down for a fun murder mystery thriller! Thank you, I will have to give that a read!

[@olivia_vid]

@@AshlynnCalee No problem!! 🤭

[@britachii8359]

loveeee this vid!

[@nicoleyearsley3452]

Those were some excellent recommendations. The only one I haven’t read is Chesnut Springs, but I’m not really a big romance reader so I don’t think I’d like it. Every other book you read is so good!

[@nicoleyearsley3452]

Also, some excellent thriller authors are Riley Sager and Frieda McFadden. They’re two of my favorites.

[@AshlynnCalee]

Thank you!! I want to start the housemaid this week😅

[@Elliewellyz]

You should read the housemaid and the sequel the housemaid secret I HIGHLY recommend for thriller books

[@PinkHawk191]

I just finished book11 of the Shadow Demons Saga by Sarra Cannon. The series will be a total of 12 Books. There is romance and magic, It has a lot of twists and a lot of suspense. I highly recommend the series.

[@asennessa]

Definitely read Freida McFadden books

[@reuben.8955]

You should read silent patience I really recommend it

[@AllieVDB]

If you're looking for an exciting thriller that isn't too spooky, I'd recommend The Only One Left by Riley Sager
