Loved Charlotte's Web and The Boxcar Children as a kid! Shel Silverstein was always a favorite of my students, and who better to introduce them to as a way to pique their interest in poetry! I also consider The Immortal Life of Henrietta Locks and Home Going 5 star books. I am intrigued by several of your contemporary favorites - The Bluest Eye and the Secret Lives of Church Ladies. I'm not so much into horror, though you may convince me to pick one up someday!

[@KaylasBookishVibes]

Homegoing,The Bluest eye, Monday’s Not Coming we have some over laps! 🤗

[@BookDiarieswithTye]

Monday not coming is based from a true story in Detroit, Michigan. it was a great book and very well written

[@Kritz_Reads]

We are def. compatible in the areas we overlap (a lot of horror), so I need to check out some of the other books you mentioned!

[@scottieshereereads]

If you pick any of the other horror books up, let me know!!

[@CityGirlWriter]

💖Thanks for tagging me! Looks like there is a little overlap in SFF, Young Adult, and Classics 👀

[@BreeShareeReads]

12:02 ommmmgggg it was my fav book from last year. I love this book.

[@scottieshereereads]

girrrlllll...i still think about this book at least once a week. it's sooo good!

[@KaylasBookishVibes]

I loved shel silverstein! I picked up the poem books from costco a couple months back for my boys. 😂 The boxcar children was also a fave of mine growing up. 🤗 So glad you did this tag. I definitely understand your reading taste more and kinda wanna pick up some of your faves in horror. I can’t lie though i am a scaredy cat 😅

[@scottieshereereads]

I'm just now catching up on comments 🥴😂 This tag was so fun! In terms of horror, maybe don't start with my recs because they can be pretty brutal tbh hahah I'll think of some beginner friendly options for you & send them your way!

[@LocDBooktician]

Catching up!

[@recreepy]

I'm sincerely impressed-fantastic job!

[@BandysBooks]

So excited to see you mention The Long Walk. It’s one of my favorite King books. Ahh I didn’t love I’m Thinking of Ending Things. I found it a little predictable. If you liked it though, you may like A House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward. Ring Shout is so good. Tender Is The Flesh is on my TBR for July. I’m not big on thrillers either. I find they’re either super predictable or so far out there that it might as well be aliens. Coincidentally, I loved The Push and Bright Young Women too. Have you read Notes on An Execution by Danya Kukafka? Not really a thriller, but it takes a similar approach to the subject as Bright Young Women. The Ocean At The End of The Lane is one of my favorite Gaiman books. I got through American Gods, but it’s not my favorite. I definitely recommend checking out The Between The Earth and Sky series by Rebecca Roanhorse. Chain-Gang All-Stars. So good! Luster is a book that’s been on my TBR for a long while. Maybe I need to bump it up. I just finished Homegoing like a week ago. Really well done. Yes, Emezi is a fantastic author. I just picked up Little Rot last weekend and am looking forward to reading it. Yes to As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow! One of my all time favorite reads. Monday Is Not Coming has been on my TBR for ages. Definitely need to bump it up. How To Be An Antiracist is fantastic. I just picked up Stamped From The Beginning a few weeks ago. Henrietta Lacks is heartbreaking. I read Know My Name in March after avoiding it for years. It was so good. I just finished In The Dream House last week. Fantastic read. Some other nonfic that I’d recommend if you haven’t read it is The Bone Woman by Clea Koff, Between Two Worlds by Suleika Jaouad, and Unbound by Tarana Burke. Btw. So happy to see you back to posting and congrats on your channel growth.

I'm just now catching up on comments. 🫣😂 - MORE PEOPLE NEED TO READ "A LONG WALK" hahha - I've had A House on Needless Street recommended to me quite a few times so I'll check out the synopsis and see. 👀 - I really enjoyed Notes on an Execution. My only gripe was that I think the male murderer's POV almost overshadowed the female POVs which is almost the inverse of what the point of the book was....imo. The writing was exquisite though & I will definitely pick up another book by this author. - I haven't read Roanhorse yet it is on my TBR! - Have you finished Little Rot?! If so, your thoughts?! - Never heard of those three nonfiction books so I will go check them out. Our tastes are SOO similar in almost every genre! It's pretty wild! - Thanks so much! 💛

It took me way tooo long to see this video.. I'm super here

[@booksmitin]

I'm not into horror, but I LOVED Goosebumps!

[@scottieshereereads]

Honestly, who doesn't love Goosebumps?! They're so quick & fun!

[@booksmitin]

@@scottieshereereads Right?!

[@ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged]

Since you love The Color Purple, I highly recommend In Search of The Color Purple: The Making of an American Masterpiece by Salamishah Tillet. I read it earlier this year and it made me love The Color Purple even more.

[@scottieshereereads]

Ohhhh thanks for that suggestion! Adding it to my TBR now.

[@KaylasBookishVibes]

had no clue a memoir could be a graphic novel 😳 now i really want to check out Maus

[@scottieshereereads]

Yes, girl! Persepolis, Messy Roots, & The Talk are also great ones.

[@RobinReads]

Am I way behind on my watch later? Yes. But was I absolutely going to watch this? Also yes!

[@RobinReads]

I just read the first Boxcar Children book for a vlog and it was a time 😂 I couldn’t remember all the details but rereading brought them all back and I think I had a much different outlook on them than when I was a kid

[@RobinReads]

Also have you ever read Bloom by Delilah S Dawson? You might like it

[@scottieshereereads]

@@RobinReads i need to start collecting them again!

[@scottieshereereads]

@@RobinReads no, i haven't read it yet! i've seen you pushing it a lot so i added it to my TBR. i hadn't heard of it before hearing you rave about it!

[@PrincessDoes]

yeah.. missed me on horror (I'm not a fan of horror).. was with you on the fantasy but hated that Neil Gaiman book.. so much so will pick nothing else up from him.. so we good but not hahahah

[@scottieshereereads]

hahahah honestly i don't think i will be picking up any other Gaiman either
