Merry Christmas, Spooky Bestie!🎄

Thanks for the recs! I'm going to add most of these to my 2025 reading pile. I didn't read as much in '24 as I wanted to, so I need to catch up in the new year. I might start with that Incidents around the House. And congrats on finishing up your first semester of grad school. I have my master's in library media, and I've been working as a school librarian for the past 10 years. It's a great job. That Hey Kiddo book is pretty popular with my students, but I've never gotten around to reading it.

@@Oklaoz that’s so cool that you work as a school librarian. I’ve been thinking about possibly going that route but I’m still not sure. I can see why Hey Kiddo would be popular with students. It’s a great read.

I’m also going to school to be a librarian. MLIS. I’m only my second semester. Cool to hear you’re on a similar path. Good luck!

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

@@somerandomguy1217 that’s amazing! Good luck to you as well!

[@thegrimhobbyist]

I'm definitely adding quite a few of these to my list to read!

Fun, I really enjoyed hearing about your favorites! My reading year has been so disappointing, I just checked my numbers on Goodreads, and my average rating was 2.2! What? I'm usually a very positive person, so what is happening? Is it me or is it just bad luck? I don't know, I just hope 2025 will look up :) I did truly enjoy The Eyes Are The Best Part and We used to live here, so that's something! :)

Small Town Horror sounds like my type of book. Definitely on my list now. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend Summer of Night by Dan Simmons. I love that you review books as well as films, as I enjoy them equally. Love your channel Mandy, so well done.

@@michaelsouza5609 thank you! I hope you check out and enjoy Small Town Horror. I’ve had Summer of Night on my TBR forever…maybe I’ll get to it one day 😅

[@somerandomguy1217]

I’m reading Malfi’s “Come With Me” rn. It’s a slow burn but really good. I can imagine his other books are also well written

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

@ Bone White and Come With Me are really great reads too

Here's to starting over in our 30s 🎉I've added Coup De Grace and You Like It Darker to my wish list, might buy them for myself for Xmas 😂 Wishing you all the best with your studies and career change 🥳

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

@@spo0kyxspice yes 🙌🏻 thank you!!

[@thebookgeek87]

you talking about Stephen King getting ready makes me so sad. I love him so much

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

@@thebookgeek87 I know, I’m sorry! It’s something I can’t help thinking about 😭

[@Guts364]

Think I'm crushing on you and I think we could talk about horror movies for hours man I've seen hundreds of these movies
