reading only thrillers for a week 👺👻 | spoiler free reading vlog

[@Qdub34]

One of the main reasons I watch your channel is for your zaniness. Please don't change or have self-doubt about your ad libs. It's why we're here.

[@terrelldean]

Was literally just going to put a comment like this down here. I'm binging her most recent videos cuz I just can't get enough of the "zaniness". So much fun!

[@seanholtz3355]

Preach

[@lizzfrmhon]

Absolutely. The amount of times I burst out laughing listening to her. My favorites are the charts and the character picture boards.

[@LivingAsLisha]

Agreed

[@SidneyGastonSanchez]

In case you’re wondering, PLEASE keep making charts, graphs, and visual aids. I live for them

[@sierrareed11]

SAME

[@okaywhatev4]

“Most of my hobbies are just me not trying to get dementia when I’m 80” 😳 really made me realize the same thing about myself lolll

[@Nicoleeeeeeee8]

I just have to say that your videos scratch an itch in my brain that I didn't know was there? I just found your channel last week but you're already my favourite person to create content on booktube and I think that says it all, so thank you for being great and talking in a way that keeps my attention up and working.

[@newlynova]

[@tsakouannam3826]

That's exactly how I feel about this channel omg

[@SkyWalker-qr4yx]

“I feel like most of my hobbies are me not trying to have dementia when I’m 80” girl same. You explain my old lady hobbies better than I could lol

[@ellias]

if you thought pretty girls was the IT girl, her sister book, the good daughter, is THE bombshell. The Good Daughter (god that book i remember reading in a boba shop and the first 50 pages made me scream). karin has a serious knack for creating real flawed grounded characters that really elevate the thriller genre for me, it's chef's kiss!!!!

[@newlynova]

📝📝📝 taking notes furiously for when i'm slightly less traumatized

[@allisonvysotsky4166]

I read Pretty Girls without knowing anything about it and it WRECKED me. Glad to know I'm not alone with that reading experience 🙃

[@RandomLuv193]

Once you showed you were reading Pretty Girls I knew exactly where it was going on the graph 😅

[@moonelysian86]

The housemaid is peak camp/cheesy 90s-early 2000s lifetime thriller movie and I liked it for that.

[@mossvibes]

MY MONDAY HAS BEEN GIFTED WITH SUCH A DELIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE TY 💖🙌

[@plainsjane]

See something I love to do is buy popular booktok mystery and thrillers and give them to my grandmother. If this woman can read a book a day and has been here for 85 years… girly knows all the tropes. All this to say I will be taking this list to her 🤭

[@lovely_beca]

No girl, I dont think you understand, HOW I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR CHANNEL!!! PLEASE KEEP DOIN IT, and please keep being yourself, I am being honest, watching your videos makes me feel like I am talking with my best friend! Keep up the good work and lots of love from a fan from Brazil ❤

[@newlynova]

[@zxshd]

the way she gets distracted so easily and her vibes too is just immaculate- and i dont even read that much lmao

[@AbbyDunnMusic]

When you started to describe Pretty Girls before reading it and you said "hallmark thriller" I almost spit out my drink bc I knew what you were in for with a Karin Slaughter novel 😅

[@smol_chortle_turtle6238]

Can I just say how much I absolutely LOVE the little adhd side tangents in-between reading sessions? as a (suspected) adhd girly myself it’s just nice to see what you’re up to and your random little thoughts that pop up because of course they do how could they not??? It makes it almost feel like i’m on a facetime/sleepover, just hanging out kinda vibes which is literally perfection from a channel like yours 🥰 (p.s. your news about your favorite snack and finishing the puzzle were just oh so fun to listen to you talk about ❤❤❤)

[@machinegunlament]

Looking at your profile you don't have ADHD but you definitely have autism

[@prekshavardhan1]

Honestly, this woman and this editing is SUCH. A. VIBE. I discovered your channel about 2 weeks ago with The Twisted series anddddd may I say I've been hooked ever since. (Also, I do see you've acquired books further in the series. Does this mean there would be more recaps? 😇🤪) I have watched and rewatched your videos in the last 2 weeks and had been waiting for your new one for the last 2/3 days. I rannnnn when I saw that you've uploaded today. 😂🥳 Needless to say I love how articulately you describe the content you read, how honestly you share your experiences of reading these books, whether they've been emotional or otherwise. You are the best/most entertaining content creator on this platform when it comes to books. I hope you'll continue making these kickass videos, with YOUR OWN UNIQUE WAY OF EDITING (which imo just breathe more life into your videos)🔥💘 in the future and will get to read some great books through them. 😇 Your channel sooner or later WILL BLOW UP. I. Am. A. Fan. 😇😂😂😂 - I got "Betty" and "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" post your video and am so excited to read them. 😇 Thanks for the recommendations hon. ❤ PS. I hope you're taking care of yourself too, lexi. 💙✨

[@newlynova]

🥺 this is such a sweet comment. thank you so much for all of your kind words, it really means a lot. twisted series in theory is continuing but lowkey book 2 was boring so i am deciding whether to skip it and cover the rest or do them all for posterity... we will see. but seriously thank you 🥺🥺🥺

[@tastethefluffmarshmallow9770]

Don’t be shy, give us more deranged twisted recaps PLEASE 😭😭

[@penelopepelletier7389]

Your next thriller cozy read should be a good girls guide to murder!! So many plot twists especially in the first two books and it keeps you on the edge of your seat while still being fun to read!! (And also heartbreaking)

[@newlynova]

i've heard this is really good! def on my list

[@taramaheshwari4491]

Riley Sager is such an unpredictable author. I read the last time I lied which was quite good and then final girls which was so awful. It's like a game of chance. Loving your content! My TBR is forever growing because of you..

[@cestmoi914]

I hated final girls

[@autumnwinter1462]

🫤🤨

[@artemis7496]

I hated the only one left

[@Maddog441]

Does lock every door contain sexual content? I need to know before buying it 🤡

[@taramaheshwari4491]

@Maddog441 Nope. It implies sex off page, but I don't think it has any on page descriptions. The setting was great, but the plot was not that great. On the other hand, Home before dark was really good with gothic horror themes

[@JacobSwan]

The things you say and the way you say them give me life. Your videos are an instant watch no matter what I’m doing haha. Thank you for making them.

[@juliafrances454]

the puzzle section in the middle with a rating was perfect

[@jcruzgarcia18]

i've come to realize that i just have to have goodreads open when watching your videos because the TBR is being UPED. and every book you read I end up reading. love it !

[@VeraFran]

When you showed Pretty Girls I said 'no girl, don't go into this one blind!' but screaming into the past is foolish. First video of yours I saw but I'm already hooked.

[@jjamieallover]

as a girlie who loves both puzzles and graphs, this video was for me tysm

[@sarargmn]

i haven’t read the housemaid but i have read like 5 of her books and honestly i feel like your final description fits all of them. they aren’t the greatest thrillers ever but they keep you entertained and wanting to read more lol

[@reading_paiges]

Love the snack and puzzle recs thrown in with the book reviews 🖤 (and obviously the onyx cameos)

[@summervalentine79]

I absolutely love how you describe books, you found the words I didn't even know I had. Thank you for your service *salutes* and the graph ??? chef kiss

[@CalliesBookShelfx]

Thank you for posting when I’m sick at home. It’s like you knew what I needed

[@geotechlady]

Obsessed with the mid reading vlog puzzle review you are such a vibe

[@anni1961]

You are genuinly my favourite book youtuber, because you radiate a very fun and positive energy and your reviews on books are amazing, they just feel so detailed without spoiling anything and honestly make me want to read every single one of these books😅

[@Beach652]

I am here for charts as a way to convey vibes, I wish more reviewers would do it

[@yam288]

omg LEXI you should look into the controversy surrounding the housemaid / freida mcfadden... after i read the book, i was reading reddit discussions on it, and people brought up that it's basically the EXACT same plot as another thriller book - and apparently a few of other freida mcfadden's books also have the same plot as books by other authors!! hailey hughes also made an informative video on it, but i just thought it was super interesting that freida mcfadden has gotten so popular and not a lot of people have mentioned this!!

[@newlynova]

this is fresh, will definitely look into it... i will say the whole book was not the most original thing in the world (like it was pretty cliched already) but intriguing that there is a controversy

[@yam288]

@@newlynova i agree, it wasn’t super groundbreaking but i believe it’s like SUPERRR similar to the other book (including the theater scene?) so people were sus!!

[@antisnotabug]

oh my gosh, finally, someone has captured my exact feeling when reading the housemaid. I read it months ago and still am not sure if I liked it or not. but I think about it a lot so, that counts for... something? I don't know what, but something.

[@whennanaspeaks]

I love how u do ur eyeliner its always on point

[@cassieb6749]

as a puzzle and thriller fan i'm so here for this content!! thanks for the recs girlie

[@Spicy.Literature]

Your videos bring me so much comfort and entertainment! single-handedly dragging me through this seasonal depression.

[@nicolekorah9492]

I loved how you described perfectly what makes a good puzzle. Doesn't have to be challenging, but it does have to be interesting!

[@kaylees270]

I will never get over how great and funny your descriptions are of books and just like life haha! Also, I love the Maisie Peters shirt 👀

[@newlynova]

👀👀👀🧍‍♀️🎧 me with my deluxe good witch on repeat reading this comment

[@Brandie_La_Bibliophile]

I’m a former English teacher, 34 year old homeschooling mom of 4 kids and I swear I wish we were friends 😂 you could teach me what riz means and we could read great stuff 😂 I love your videos they’re so much fun, I just chuckle along as I’m doing mundane household tasks and update my Goodreads TBR 😊 HIGHLY ENTERTAINED! I’m gonna sign this like the old person I feel I am -from Brandie lol

[@newlynova]

[@AnonJess]

Lmao, not the signature 😂 But also, I feel like I'm on that trajectory. Only, I'm 24 and homeschooling 2 kids and married to a former English teacher. I'd love to follow you on Goodreads, if you're into that kind of thing!!

[@fae7y]

Babe wakeup, lexi posted!!!!

[@SamGarrett]

Ngl I heard a lot of negative things about The Housemaid, but your description of it at 2:00 sold me, I don't care if it's stupid or bad, I want to read that lmao

[@celestial2834]

I feel like you’re my twin flame. I genuinely watch and rewatch your videos like they’re hot chocolate for my cold, depressed soul

[@olliereadss]

your content brings me so much joy. and i LOVED the silly graph. it added to the experience

[@DaisygoesCrazy]

your videos are so comforting

[@seekerxr]

This is exactly what I needed to make this Monday good 😊

[@Vanillaguard]

I nevvver leave comments, but I really wanted to tell you how much I love your KZbin vids! I came from TT, and I’ve been living for the long-form content here. I could listen to you talk about books forever, thank you for your service

[@newlynova]

[@craftyyams4960]

Ahh you mentioned studio 81!! I loved that show. I’ve started watching your channel a few weeks ago and I’m hooked. Your book recommendations are 💯

[@chloev8132]

when i want to take like half a day to just brain rot and play stardew valley, i put your videos on in a loop. i've watched all of them enough times that i have just downloaded your takes into my brain, which is good bc now i actually kinda care about books again

[@isilikespeopleandthings]

Started reading Pretty Girls from the beginning of your review. Finished it & came back. I'd been annotating and making comparisons to Gillian Flynn the whole way through, felt SO seen when you compared it to Sharp Objects (one of my all time favourite books)!

[@foxhedgehog1027]

listening to this video while doing my ancient egyptians puzzle (by eurographics, 1000 pieces, green box) & you doing one as well just completely threw me

[@Petri_ch0r]

I saw this post while i was it school snd i literally gasped in the middle of class, I’m so excited to watch it. you are for sure my favorite booktuber snd i get so excited for every video

[@hi_there1239]

I'VE WATCHED THIS VIDEO MULTIPLE TIMES AND IM JUST SEEING THE MAISIE PETERS SHIRT!!!!! LOVE HER

[@goopluver]

THE MAISIE PETERS SHIRT WHILE LUCY PLAYED? obsessed with that vibe

[@MeghanHuet24]

Did I drop absolutely everything I was doing to watch this video? Yes. 👏🏼

[@xglosis]

“All my hobbies are just me trying not to have dementia” Nothing has ever resonated with me like that statement.

[@tiredness7860]

I rewatched this to find the puzzle mention becuase I had the sudden urge to look them up. I love puzzles, Thanks for mentioning it!

[@scliffbartoni9771]

Didn't expect the puzzle review but it was greatly appreciated lol I'll have to check them out

[@BooksStarringMissy]

I love freida mcfadden because her books are so insane but I fly through them in a day or two so helps with my reading goal and keeps me entertained lol

[@Liz.E.]

Your videos are the best! You’re so engaging and spot on with your reviews and always adding the best visual elements- love the graph in this one! Just read the housemaid and could not agree more with your thoughts and review. Sometimes when I read a book fast I feel like I need to rate it super high, so I love hearing you break down your reviews!

[@Loganbaker2721]

I love that you have no filter ❤ Thank you for making interesting videos!

[@mychaoticshelf]

I have thoroughly enjoyed the earring changes throughout the video AND the vibes graph. The charting makes perfect sense 📈👩🏼‍💻

[@4BigJewlz76]

You have one of my favorite brains of any booktubers that I watch. Where else can I get a bonus graph and a puzzle review I loved it.

[@katiekaboom7747]

100% agree with your review of Pretty Girls. I was/still am... haunted by that plot.

[@brittaneyyost7597]

I felt the same way about the Housemaid lmao I literally could not stop but it was not the best but her other books are so good with the twists and what not perfection

[@jmund175]

Your commentary slaps and your graph is exactly the type of "vibes but make it science" that my brain understands. Please keep making content.

[@JohnSmith-x8s5g]

Another delightful video: cannibals in the basement, your description of haunted house employees and (it's my personal thing) using "adventure" instead of the dreaded 'j' word.

[@thekaylaimani]

Tiktok wasn't enough for me, I had to come to your channel for more and now I'm here to stay! I love your content! Also, Magic Puzzle Company and/or Target owes you money because I immediately sprinted to buy one of their puzzles.

[@hotdogkristian]

The audiobook of None Of This Is True was a really great time too. Gotta love a cast reading!

[@faetriplett8054]

you made me enjoy reading again and i get so many book recs from you!

[@sharonmpetersonauthor]

I'm not typically a thriller reader (although I've been trying to read more recently), but I DID read Pretty Girls this past summer after a friend raved about how much she loved Karin Slaughter. When you said that this sounds like a book about sisters reuniting, I SCREAMED AT YOU. I tried to stop you. Really, I did. You were so innocent going into it. So, so innocent.

[@biancalazaro9531]

this is your first vid i watched, i already like you!

[@lilymarvin2379]

loving the lucy dacus, taylor swift, and maisie peters references in here🤭

[@wywrd_mtnt]

omg youtube algorithm!! I follow you on tiktok but I'm more of a booktube girlie than a booktok girlie so I'm really glad you're here as well and that I've found you!

[@briwitchedd]

my first video of yours and... I'm in love *proceeds to binge watch your channel*

[@inabanana97]

lexi i just subscribed to you 2 weeks ago. s it too early to say you're now one of my comfort people on youtube?????

[@newlynova]

[@cristinejoy3041]

I love your videos since you started booktube. ❤ I enjoy your rants and reviews about the books! I hope you are doing great!

[@newlynova]

[@gabrielaabarca5233]

as a crossword and sudoku girlie, the having hobbies for avoiding future dementia part hit me a little bit too hard

[@newlynova]

i've done the NYT crossword every day for the past two years... soul twins?

[@ruthiehawks3052]

have never felt more sure that i will never, ever read a karen slaughter book in my entire life love the puzzle bit too, from one puzzle girlie to another (i really like ravensburger puzzles! i'm slowly collecting their disney collection) also sick exile reference

[@mollyb698]

Love love love that I stumbled across your channel recently! You just have the most fun videos! I'm also big YA mystery thriller girlie who has been scared of home invasion since an early age so it makes sense that I love your work. Definitely adding some of the thrillers you enjoyed to my TBR!

[@daize000]

ok this is irrelevant to the video, but I reallyyy loveee ur style, like fashion style, the earrings, the outfit, they look sooo good!!

[@mackenzierodgers7235]

These books might not be comfort reads, but you and your videos are, in fact, my comfort watches 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@hasntdevelopedobjectpermenance]

loving the random puzzle review intermission

[@akacheddar]

I went in blind when I read Pretty Girls years ago and thinking about it still makes me want to climb into the coziest comfort hole I can find and not come out for months, it got to me so bad 😅

[@leoaviation3491]

I have found my new fav book vlogger 🤭🎀

[@dawnslight98]

Oh my gosh, your cat is so cute! The little meows!

[@justineevans9434]

This entire video is vibes! I love it, the graph is hilarious, fun, and NECESSARY 😂🎉❤

[@sar-bear9388]

im definitely saving this video for my lunch break tomorrow ! im so excited broooooo

[@sar-bear9388]

this is prob whats gonna get me thru my day tomorrowwwww, :)

[@emmacreamer5473]

I read "In my dreams I hold a knife" after watching this and I loved it, you are absolutely right it is deranged and the everyone in it is the worst. I also read "We were never here" by Andrea Bartz and it felt similar just without the college aspect, if you haven't read I for sure recommend.

[@yassminezaki9564]

My new favorite channel on KZbin, keep going. Love u ♥️

[@Nataliecj]

I absolutely love your videos, you’re so funny, I don’t know how you speak so well but I’m here for it! I love a good puzzle, if you haven’t done any eeBoo puzzles you should, their puzzles are so bright and vibrant and fun. 10/10 would recommend.

[@pretzel_salt]

Your channel is my new comfort food

[@astronomylover3266]

Lexi you are such a fun person to listen to.keep up the good work ❤️☺️

[@kithric4878]

I listen to your videos while doing other things like crafting or embroidery most of the time but I would like to inform you that I did stop what I was doing, pick up my phone, and rewind to make sure to see where you put each book on the graph 😂 also to see the puzzle and your cat

[@sierrareed11]

Loved this! The graph was amazing haha

[@SainabouSaye]

As someone that read Pretty girls years ago? Yes that book is batshit crazy 😮

[@Somerandomlamp]

That puzzle company is one of my favorites!

[@sjjuanita]

Keep reading more thrillers love this breakdown

[@sweetmessie]

you’re so fun to watch ❤

[@thejosiemiller]

The 1989 TV reference made me smile. Also, we stan mentally ill girl ramblings in this house. continue on bestie!

[@thejosiemiller]

also LUCY DACUS in the background??? we love TASTE

[@dankscreams]

you interact with your cat the exact same way i do with mine (literally word for word) and it threw me for a loop LOL . that being said, meowing back at your cat after they meow at you is the only correct response and i'm glad to see i'm not the only one lmaoooo
