if you’re looking for spooky graphic novels/manga, i always love recommending junji ito. ‘uzumaki’ is really good, but it is relatively lengthy.

[@laurenmc260]

I finished Uzumaki last night and it was amazing! I've already read Loveless and Shiver by Junji Ito and honestly just found them mildly amusing but Uzumaki is actually creepy. I'd like to mention that Junji Ito's stories are mostly body horror, I'm only mentioning it because I didn't know going in to reading his mangas and I found them a bit weird at first but Uzumaki was amazing!

[@queenanneboleyn]

Small Spaces was a HIT when I read it aloud to a group of 6th graders. I love it and the sequel.

[@pilgrimlearning9530]

The 4th and last in the series is coming out later this year!

[@vanessanicole516]

I just bought the night circus, the ex hex, and baker’s magic just now!!! The night circus is at the top of my list to start my summerween TBR.. also last year I bought the hocus Pocus book!!

[@rikkielambregts421]

"I would just take up bowling" haha gave me the giggles

[@heatherjurado3840]

Loved that too❣️

[@alexandraroselyn]

Thank you lol

[@meganmeek2794]

I do not read or like horror books but I LOVED A Southern Book Clubs Guide to Slaying Vampires!!

[@lorifrederick2367]

I absolutely loved The Thursday Murder Club. There were parts when I did laugh out loud. You will love all the characters.

[@dannieros3]

I’m about halfway done reading small spaces and I’m definitely in a spooky mood now lol

[@lmariona4568]

Sharp Objects is perfect for summer. Such a great book 📚💕

[@allisonbecker9762]

I had very strong feelings about the new Riley Sager! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts. As for graphic novels-a cute, not at all scary one I just read was Garlic and the Vampire about an anthropomorphic garlic who lives with a kitchen witch…it’s major tea dragon vibes and I highly recommend(and it is Halloween-ish with witches and vampires).

[@doridoo5715]

Ditto on Riley Sager/House Across the Lake. Very eager to hear her review

[@strawberrylime33]

The new Riley sager is on my TBR, so, without spoilers, is it a terrible ending? A maddening ending? I'm currently reading an "older" thriller by Sarah Pinborough called 13 Minutes.

[@criselda.]

☠ i'm excited for your daily vlogs! 💕

[@AlyssaNicoleox]

This is so excitinggggg. Looking forward to the vlogs!

[@jessicaprenovost4478]

Oooh yay for daily vlogs! I cannot wait!

[@crystalr.castillo2784]

I love your videos and I'm so excited to see Summerween! 🎃

[@bobarlotte]

lexi i am SO excited for your halloween content this year, it's been one of the best parts of the fall every season the past several years!

[@mousumeenath4922]

So excited for your daily vlogs! ☠️☠️☠️

[@emilydigrande4936]

I loved Grady Hendrix’s book the southern bookclubs guide to slaying vampires! It was one of my favorites. I’ve been dying to get my hands on my best friend’s exorcism! Can’t wait to hear what you think of it😍

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

SBC's Guide to Slaying Vampires .. one of my favorites!

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

@Reverie Spring definitely next on my list! ☺

[@heatherjurado3840]

Can't wait to read it in the Fall🧡

[@Atticus231]

The twist in house across the lake is going to be either hit or miss for you. It hit for me 4/5⭐️. Glass I got some new spooky recs from you. ☠️

[@islandgirl3615]

What an epic TBR! You really can't go wrong with any of these titles. I can't wait to see what you choose! ❤💀

[@skyofdiamonds3058]

SO excited for your daily vlogs!! I think you’ll love the Grady Hendrix books and Ready or Not! My first book of summerween is the Hacienda. Loving it so far!

[@michellemarie1197]

Love your outfit in this vid!!!

[@kaylee7245]

You’ve had Small Spaces on your TBR for years now lol I’m glad I’m not the only one that does this!

[@alisakim3306]

Oh, I'm so excited about your upcoming vlogs! I've only read four of the books you mentioned: "Small Spaces" is a book I read because of your videos, and it was increeeedibly cozy! I really do suggest it, and if you don't manage to read it this summer, it'll be amazing for autumn time, too! Grady Hendrix's books are always a win! You will not regret reading them, they're comedy horror and are very witty and atmospheric. "I'm thinking of ending things" was really unsettling, especially in the first half, and many think that it's a book you should read twice. Can't wait to see your actual picks!!

[@taraselby6040]

Love these choices!! Southern Book Club and My Best Friend’s Exorcism are both excellent 👌 I hope you love them! Also planning to read the new Riley Sager for Summerween as well 🤗

[@valfromsocal6806]

THREE VIDEOS IN A WEEK?!!!! Thank you for blessing us queen

[@alexandraroselyn]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@joannagomes3038]

☕️ s’mores pop tarts are the best! Now I’ve got to take this quiz 😂

[@jenniferinc6194]

I can't wait for fall! And your fall videos:)

[@alexandraroselyn]

I CANT WAIT FOR FALL TOO!! 😩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Sukku2305]

You’re my favorite booktuber

[@alexandraroselyn]

Aw thank you!

[@lauradowsett662]

Thanks for reminding me I have I’m Thinking of Ending Things! I also have The Silent Companions on my list 💀❤️

[@elizabethscott4622]

I just finished small spaces and it is so good!! I loved it!

[@linziscarsella6729]

Sharp Objects is so good, will linger in your mind for a long time! Also I can't wait to read RS new book.

[@normabuentello9554]

I started my summerween yesterday with the third book in the Small Spaces quartet and it was so good! The first and second were both amazing please read them soon!!! The fourth comes out in less than a month!!

[@ReadingNymph]

So many great books! Cant wait to see what you think of The Thursday murder club. Good luck!! Especially with the daily vlogs 💀

[@amandaj7082]

From Below by Darcy Coates it's a horror about a ship that disappeared and once found scupa divers go to try to figure out what happened and they discover it's dark secrets. It had me hooked.

[@nishkasehgal]

I LOVED Small Spaces. I don’t read Middle Grade, but my 11-year old sister really wanted me to read it, and I really enjoyed it. I also ended up reading the other two books in the soon-to-be quartet!

[@katiediaz9952]

YAYYYYYYYY MY DREAM CAME TRUE 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@tiffanyclark8001]

💀 super glad to be able to participate this year!

[@katpablo]

💀💀💀 I get so happy whenever you post a new video. Best of luck with the daily vlogging - it's quite the undertaking! Can't wait to read The Woman in the Library. I absolutely devoured The Thursday Murder Club, and the second book as well. Highly recommend the audiobooks. Narrator is fantastic. A spooky-ish middle grade graphic novel I'd recommend is The Weirn Books by Svetlana Chmakova

[@nicolereynolds8424]

I just finished My Lovely Wife today and I loved it! The chapters are super short so it really flies by. I think it would be perfect for Summerween!

[@meganludwig6427]

I just finished The Darkling Bride and loved it! Ancient Ireland, old gothic manor and murder…what a combo.

[@lilyreadsandotherthings]

Small Spaces is absolutely fantastic!!! I hope you love it, it's one of my favorite middle grade horrors!!💀

[@kirstenhamann4930]

☠️Love Summerween!🎃 Can’t wait for your daily Vlogs!!👻🔪☕️📚🪦🕯🕷🕸⚰️🐈‍⬛🪓

[@Lillyjoy]

For a graphic novel I recommend The Okay Witch! It’s not super spooky but it’s a middle grade and it’s really good! ☠️ I’m excited for your daily vlogs!!😊💓

[@richa_xo446]

Hahaa This poison heart, Reckless Girls & ... Slaying vampires has been on ur tbr forever. Love ur videos ❤️, glad I can relate to u on such higher levels. ☠️

[@Ohana-rf4ms]

Stolen Tongues on KINDLE UMLIMITED! Scared me for life! So good!

[@hobsyllwin2562]

Uhhhh the southern book clubs… is sooo good. And sometimes it even had me laughing! I would start with that!!!

[@alexandraroselyn]

His writing is really funny I’m finding that too!!

[@NotABookwormButADragon]

I really enjoyed small spaces!

[@peridottea91]

Okay now I have a couple books to add to my TBR

[@sleuthytv1228]

My Best Friends Exorcism was really good :) I'm in the middle of The House Across the Lake and I'm enjoying it so far . I'm about 60 pages in. Being from Boston I have to read that one about the library! My Dearest Darkest was fabulous and In My Dreams I Hold a Knife!

[@Momo_0_o]

Sharp Objects is fantastic. Soon as I finished it I immediately watched the HBO mini series and they paired PERFECTLY. 10 outta 10, would recommend.

[@nettielynch434]

Oh my goodness, highly recommend The graphic novels Garlic and the Witch and Garlic and the Vampire ❤❤❤

[@ger0329]

I just saw it The Woman in the Library and The Thursday Murder Club on hold at my library. Looking forward to reading them.

[@DaniellesBooks]

Love your channel so much! I'm also daily vlogging Summerween too! I hope your week is great!

[@liberty2995]

This is the best opening ever….In any KZbin intro. EVER ☺️

[@alexandraroselyn]

Awww thank you!!

[@ChaptersWeLove]

☠💀 Best of Luck with your TBR!

[@bibliochemist1623]

Small Spaces is one of my absolute favs!! I hope you read it!

[@nancyhoffman2121]

Just finished “The Woman in the Library”! I loved it! You should definitely read it. It is a quick read. I💀

[@bykensie]

Jewelry collection please 🙏🏽!!! I’m dying to see all your rings 😅😅😅

[@alik7064]

You have a few of my favorites on your list!!! I love Grady Hendrix! I think that the cover for My Best Friend's Exorcism is AMAZING!! I loved Southern Book Club also. I read The Woman in the Library recently and loved it. I flew thru it. Sharp Objects was good, I figured it out quickly though. In My Dreams I Hold A Knife was one of my top reads of last year!! I cannot wait to hear what you think of them!! I don't have a set TBR - I'm listening to Final Girls Support Group and physically reading Hide.

[@pizzveta]

☠ Can't wait for the vlogs🤗

[@caitlyn.m.t9618]

I'm looking forward to those reading vlogs. I personally love horror or gothic set in spring or summer or very green settings. I know you didn't love it, but part of why I loved Plain Bad Heroines was the fact the aspects of the haunting was very focused in nature such as the wasps and the apples, and the fact that it was set in the middle of summer on a lush island. I also particularly like it when the green and natural aspects of the book goes hand in hand with the horror, like house of hollow having flowers grow out of their wounds. I like descriptions of heat, and sunlight, and moving the horror out of the dark into area where you are meant to be safe. I was interested in Reckless Girls but I also saw those negative reviews and I think personally I will give it a pass.

[@genevievelyons8884]

For graphic novels/comics, I’d recommend Harrow County!

[@melissareise3549]

I think you will love I’m Thinking of Ending Things! It is definitely best to go into blind.

[@TheHaqiqah]

Ready or not is awesome

[@kimpirosko1384]

I’m right there with you! I feel like I keep hearing about the same spooky books! I’d like to check out some older back list books and see if there’s anything good. I actually just ordered I’m thinking of ending things a couple days ago, I wanted to wait until winter to read it since that’s when it takes place but now I think I’ll read it for summerween. I’m also wanting to read beneath the stairs by Jennifer Fawcett but I think I’ll actually wait until fall to read that one. I’m excited to watch your reviews for all of these books! Happy reading! 💀

[@maureenvandusky5400]

I don’t usually read spooky, but I added three of them to my TBR. I’ve had And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie on my list to read for a while. One of my reading groups has prompts for a book challenge for the year and #25 is the favorite book by our favorite author. My current favorite author and I read everything she writes is Sophie Kinsella. She wrote the Shopaholic Series and the Undomestic Goddess and about 20 other great books. Well when she went on her book tour last year for My Not So Perfect Life, her husband knew they found some of Agatha Christie’s jewelry that had been missing and discovered in a box in an old car given away years ago. There was a diamond and emerald ring that came up for auction and her husband bid on it and got it for Sophie Kinsella (I believe it was around $100,00 pounds) as a good luck item for her book tour because Agatha Christie is her favorite author. I love watching your blogs!❤️☠️

[@IbiKessenich]

Your TBR lists are always so great and I keep adding most to my shopping/wish list😅 For the graphic novel I can recommend Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol - it's cute, it's scary and has a great twist... 😉 And for the challenge I'm reading the Silent Patient and The Girls I've Been

[@ladyharlequin]

Graphic novels: Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Squee, 30 Days of Night, Silent Hill Mangas: anything by Junji Ito, Tokyo Ghoul, Death Note, Hellsing.

[@EllaWH]

I'm just finishing up The Drowning Summer and overal I really enjoyed it! It's a bit slow in the beginning but the romance is aaaah amazing!!

[@HollysBookishRealm]

Howdy do, Lexi and friends! This book list sounds sooo freaking amazing 👏 I'm really tempted to do this summerween but I don't think I have enough books to fill the prompts ☠ thanks for another video, Lexi! Always look forward to it 🥰

[@alexandraroselyn]

Aw thanks Dolly!! ❤️❤️

[@mangotreebranch]

Love the list! Thursday Murder Club was great :) 💀💀

[@Silverraine1]

I also want to know about good spooky graphic novels! I just read Fangs, and Garlic and the Vampire which had Over the Garden Wall vibes. I also looked through some of the past nominee lists for the Bram stoker award and picked a few to add to my list, but I've no idea if I'll like them. As for prose books, I'm currently reading What Moves the Dead and The Haunted Bookstore (Japanese), and might later choose between Our Wives Under the Sea, The Queen of the Cicadas, The Path of Thorns, or Slewfoot, depending on my mood. Looking forward to your vlogs Lexi! Happy Summerween!💀

[@heatherjurado3840]

☠️Another great video...I know I will enjoy following your Summerween vlogs🧡🖤Lol, to "I think I would just take up bowling"🤣 and "he has a good amount of cash and why not get a mansion out of it" (loosely quoting)🤣Thanks for the laughs😊Have a fun Summerween 👍🧡🖤

[@theknittedlamb7387]

I have the graphic novels Nightlights by Lorena Alvarez and Took: a Ghost Story by Mary Downing Hahn on hold at the library ☠Small Spaces is on my bookshelf - so will pull that one to read now. Happy Summerween everyone!

[@camidietz2758]

I read Small Spaces and really liked it!

[@carolinemartin6886]

I don't remember if you needed up reading Frankenstein or not in the fall for your classics catagory but our 8th graders read it as a graphic novel! Super cool way to get them interested, especially when the text is little tricky!

[@wildatheart5180]

Loved this I've added some to my to my TBR . Have you read locke and keys the graphic novels amazing 🤩

[@gabbyreads]

Ahhhh so excited for you to read Grady Hendrix he’s so good 😍😍😍

[@alexandraroselyn]

I LOVED MY BEST FRIENDS EXORCISM!!!!

[@DS-qg4kq]

I'm currently reading The Thursday Murder Club. I would definitely recommend the graphic novel Snapdragon. ☠️

[@LandOfAnatopia]

I love Small Spaces. Also, I just read The Perfect Guests last week, great book. Hope you love them both as much as I did! ☠️

[@sarahbarrios7116]

Highly recommend reading Small Spaces. Tho i suggest that you read it during fall season. Perfect atmospheric book. 🍁

[@armadillosky5253]

I loved the Southern Book Club book! And the Woman in the Library is a really fun read too! I also read Grady Hendricks Horrorstor. Good, but I couldn’t wait to get that book out of my house lol! The horror trope was a bit too scary for me. I’m looking forward to reading My Best Friends Exorcism. 💀💀💀

[@Just.Kimberly.]

The Halloween intro is back!!!! ❤❤❤❤🕸🎃

[@joannievh2071]

💀 I haven't read any of the Grady Hendrix books but I've been so curious about them! Your video has reignited my interest! So looking forward to following you this week- Halloween is my favourite! ❤️

[@loriemoeggenberg8690]

Loved The Thursday Murder Club (audiobook). It's not just about men, the older women are pretty badass. 👌

[@heatherjurado3840]

This is on my TBR too📚

[@ariana133]

I love your videos! ☠

[@emilythrasher8806]

☠️ This is exactly how I build readathon TBR’s as well!

[@nomikonrad]

I’ve recently found 2 graphic novels that are spooky that I love; Something is Killing the Children, The Me you Love in the Dark. Both spooky and gripping

[@barbaramanickas6580]

Small spaces series is so good. Books 1 and 3 better than #2. I think I the 4th book comes out in August.

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

SBC's Guide to Slaying Vampires is one of my all time favorites! 📚🦇🍑 It includes three of my fave things.. books, true crime, and vampires. And he made me LOL and say "ew gross" at the same time. Can't wait to read more of his!

[@paulnorfolk2597]

Great video and recommendations 💀

[@mallikapatel9635]

I hope you liked Sharp Objects!! I read that book a few summers ago and I loved it!!!!

[@AprilsHome]

So many intriguing book selections, I added many to my wish list. ☠️

[@thatonechildkayla4454]

summerween makes me even more excited for actual halloween lol. i am participating this year and im reading the haunting of hill house and clown in a cornfield as my slasher! ☠️

[@marce0830]

Omg, if you’re going to read I’m thinking of ending things, get the audiobook! So good!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Oooooo okay I think I will now thank you!!

[@JamieReads_1]

Oh I loved Small Soaces and I can't wait for the 4th book. They are all so good so far. I am doing it this year my frist year. I am reading 2 goosebumps and a graphic novel. And the graphic novel I am reading is The Haunted Mansion by disney. It was really good and the images in it makes it feel so much like fall. 💚👻👽

[@nicoledorman8484]

I'm so excited for you to get to The Southern Book Clubs Guide to Slaying Vampires. If you can get the audiobook I highly recommend. Also, I've heard that some of the characters in My Best Friend's Exorcism are in Southern Book Clubs Guide. So they're stories interconnect which is super cool. 💀

[@djinn9345]

💀 hope you enjoy your TBR!

[@amandadorner]

I was just about to read The Drowning Summer and The Woman in the Library! For graphic novels, (and these are not really scary but they have Halloween vibes) I loved The Okay Witch, The Witch Boy, Beetle and the Hollowbones, Cat's Cradle, and The Last Witch.

[@virtuallyveronicka]

Yay for summerween! ☠️😈

[@miriamfalk7139]

Black Sand Beach by Richard Fairgray is a spooky middle grade graphic series. Three books so far. Start with "Are You Afraid of the Light?"
