I don’t know what it is about Haley, we honestly have such a different reading taste (I don’t read romance almost at all) but I find myself coming back to her channel and watch all of her videos, I think it’s her energy for me, the way she talks about books and the fact that she has recently discovered her new found love for reading.. idk I just really love this channel and find Haley so entertaining even though I hate most of the books she loves lmao

[@emmaclark5836]

thrillers i really liked and recommend: lock every door by riley sager home before dark by riley sager (i really need to read more from him) no exit by taylor adams behind her eyes by sarah pinborough (this one is a bit slower paced but it still had me interested and the twist is insane

[@AS-mr4kj]

I read Better Than the Movies after you recommended it, and I fell in love with it! Such a good book!

[@dayafeickert6752]

I totally prefer the ya romance series as well. I miss the junk and still get the fuzzy feels . Hey I wanted to suggest the Melissa Albert books specifically Hazel wood. It’s a tiny bit dark creepy vibes but mostly it’s just you sink into the characters and are just enthralled. Good reads

[@Leanae]

Ok so if anyone wants some fast reads, just recommend them by answering here ;) Here are mine: Heart bones (it’s fast paced and has nice vibe.pain as well) Verity (it’s SO INTERESTING) Caraval (the start is kinda hard but it’s so good I actually got in a slump after finishing it) Selection series (yeah they are wattpad reads but I loved them for it and short too- just don’t read the last two) The 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo (am I supposed to give a reason? So good. Emotional. Dramatic. Taylor J. Reid everyone) Malibu Rising (so good and summery, a story of one day but SO DAMAGING) The summer I turned pretty series (they are so cute and interesting, summer love kind of thing) Daisy Jones and the Six (I finished it in a day so yeah. It also gave me book hangover. 5 starts and traumatised but worth it) *don’t attack me for my choices, we don’t all agree* Feel free to recommend some as well. PS. I’m thinking of reading one true loves and one of us is lying, are they worth it? Edit: I finished one true loves. I’m still thinking about it. Also, the QUOTES are really out of this world. Definitely a must read

[@ashlynb6468]

One of us is lying is a pretty good book. I found it pretty predictable and found it over hyped, but overall it was really good and i love the characters! But the sequel one of us is next is definitely better! I loved the 2nd book way more than the first! Hope this helps:)

[@kathrynhughes2532]

Thank you for adding that note about the last 2 books in the selection series. The mc was just NOT IT

3:53 - Dreamland (It's on Libby) Read Dreamland [2000] by Sarah Dessen it's the book that got me into her other books, if I remember correctly. It's about an abusive boyfriend and a young girl that wants to make her relationship work... she starts to isolate herself. I think it's in the middle of a romance and a thriller... (Maybe I should re-read it. At the time, I remember that after finishing it, I was curious about more of her works, but none of them ever made me stop thinking of Dreamland. [The rest of her works were softer.] ) Being young, I read books like (Contemporary Dark books with abuse, usually psychological, but the books have all kinds of abuse) - Living Dead Girl [2008] by Elizabeth Scott - Speak [1999] by Laurie Halse Anderson - When Jeff Comes Home [1999] by Catherine Atkins - A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer [1995] - Go Ask Alice [1971] by Beatrice Sparks (as "Anonymous"] These were the books I read because I would go to the public library, and I guess these books caught my attention. So I would put dreamland with these books.

your english is great! just a few corrections if you want them? (just ignore me if not) 1. gonna happen* not gonna happened. ‘happened’ means it already happened and is in the past. 2. anything, but* not anything but,. the ‘,’ comes before ‘but’ not after. 3. main* not mane. i’m pretty sure a mane is the hair of a lion? not sure. 4. i’m pretty sure you meant ‘two of the main characters’ when you mentioned their chemistry? or ‘one of the main characters and …’ because you can’t say ‘one of the main characters’ when talking about two of them.
