OCTOBER TBR | all of the spooky, scary books i want to read this month🦇

[@taylorallen887]

Katie has quickly become my fav youtuber!! Just finished reading the Ex Hex because of you (and LOVED it!!)

[@user-xb8fk9ku4t]

Loved the video taking down the titles that you enjoyed

[@fionasfairytales]

There's also an Interview with a Vampire tv show now that everyone seems to love!!

[@victoria4]

I’m currently reading If We Were Villians rn and even though I’m not a Shakespeare fan I am loving it. And Harry Potter audiobook ofc

[@Jointsandjewels20]

been a silent watcher for a while but Katie you have grown to be inspiring and help me feel better when I am suffering a depression episode so thank you

[@NECROBLOOD666]

the scarecrow walks at midnight is one of the best you should get # 15 you can't scare me is one of my favorites.

[@melodyk508]

I don't know if you've already read this series or not, but The Raven Cycle seems totally up your alley. And perfect for the spooky season ahead. Psychics, magic, adventure, crazy aunts, small town, friend group that you'd want to be in and to top it all, a doomed romance.. have I sold it yet?😂

[@art3mis86]

I remember when i did read what moves the dead it was amazing. It’s kind of surprising of how good the story is with such a small book. I’ve heard there’s a sequel coming soon can’t wait to had this one to my tbr !

[@Ylimeable777]

I'm just trying to finish A House of Sky and Breath before the beginning of November so I can read Iron Flame when it comes out. I read terribly slow and work 40 hours a week and am 9 days away from getting married, so life is a little bit crazy right now! haha. All of the books I want to read are all coming out at the very end of the year, so I have to be super duper on top of my reading! I loved Goosebumps when I was a kid! I am sure you will enjoy them. Hearing you talk about them now makes me want to pick them up again and read them all over again.

[@bujobyfilo]

You will love Interview with the vampire! The writing is really good and it's very interesting 🧛

[@melodyk508]

I keep telling myself that I need to delay watching your videos just so I can binge-watch all of them, but oh well! Here I am. 😂 Love your content, brings me inner peace. Thank you Bestie❤️

[@tanyaroberts919]

I love Anne Rices books! They ignited my love for vamps. I have my grandmother's older paperbacm copies 🍁👻 so good!

[@Kittyzero13426]

My October tbr is All In, Bad Blood, A Curious Beginning, Skyward, Cinder, Shady Hollow, The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter, City of Ghosts, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, (Cutie Pies & Deadly Lies, Fangs and Frenemies, Southern Magic, Bound by Treason ,and Accidental Magic) from Stuff Your Kindle Day, and maybe Kiss Curse and Bring Me Your Midnight.

[@just_vibes6532]

As soon as you said vampire classic but not really a classic, my mind immediately went to Interview with the vampire, and I was right!! I only have three books in my October tbr Frankenstein, Dracula and Cemetary boys. I don't know if I'll be able to get to all of them because I have my exams but I'm excited about all of them.

[@RuRu-ym8we]

Ok so, regarding Intervew with the Vampire. I finished the book a week ago and honestly I loved it. The book does get oooff sometimes but the writing is amazing. You can basically see everything through the MC eyes and at the same time see his flaws, his judgement clashing with yours. But the theme is consistent and the topics are fascinating. I think that an interesting fact to know is that Anne Rice wrote that book after her dauther died at the age of 5. It was a very hard time for her and in this book she explored the questions that tormented her, and their answers about life, death, good and evil, the thin line between them, family, dependancy, community and companionship. It just hits different somehow. The movie is quite good and there is also a TV series that is going to have season 2 in 2024. Now i reccomend watching the movie before opting for the TV series, because they change the time period and some of the motivations of the main character. They also made it a quite wild love story so you definetly gotta see the movie first. I am very excited to hear your thoughts on the book and someday maybe for the media adaptations! Have fun!

[@nicholleurcuyo6874]

Small Favors and One Dark Window are on my October TBR too, i'm so excited to read them 😁

[@evernotte6802]

i was already excited for october and preparing my tbr and decorations from september 30th but this just got me even more hyped, you never miss

[@LexieMoon321]

The ONLY book I have any priority of reading is my annual rereading of IT by Stephen King! It started during 2020 and I have been rereading this book for 3 years now! ❤

[@surpriseitsus9622]

I loved that book. I might need a re read next fall.

[@leosbrighteststar]

i'm loving your october tbr!!! some books I'm super excited about this month are A Study in Drowning, All That Consumes Us, and finally reading Dracula!

[@rociomedinaperez7230]

i have sooo much fun with your monthly tbr’s !!

[@niyahdenee]

Definitely also watch the Interview with a Vampire show that came out last year it’s so good. I feel like Anna Rice was ahead of her time and the show was able to go further maybe

[@aprilskylynn]

Oh! I LOVE SMALL FAVORS!!! Perfect for spooky season ☕🍂🎃🍁👻🧡🖤🧡🖤

[@ambertaryn]

The spooky vibes of these books are so high! Excited to see what you think about them after reading!

[@subhasreedas2507]

I just ended reading Interview With The Vampire 4 days ago. It was awesome. The dark gothic vibe was everywhere.. and story from a vampires perspective! girl, you want to read this.

[@kaitlinmerrick5565]

I LOVED The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic !

[@Pati-bk8xr]

I'm trying to only read what is on my bookshelves bc I'm behind on what I own but obsessed with collecting. So km going to read haunting of Hill House, frankenstein, jekyll and Hyde, the salt grows heavy

[@amolove24]

I love this video omg. I’m currently visiting my cousin in London and reading Dracula and it’s been so much fun

[@booksandteas]

i think i'm going to add the ex hex, the legend of sleepy hollow and maybe one of the goosebumps book into my october tbr. all because of you. so we can all read the same books this month. i'm excited. happy reading, katie. 🍁🧡🍿

[@lizbennington]

The Unfortunate Side Effects Of Heartbreak And Magic was soooo amazing 😍

[@AdrianasWonderland]

[@ArielReads_]

[@BaileeWalsh]

you said you were going to read Interview With The Vampire and I clicked subscribe :)

[@robingilbank5960]

I'm excited for my October TBR, all of them. I just started reading Frankenstein, and I really like it so far. Then I've got My Best Friend's Exorcism, Small Spaces, and possibly Horror Heights The Slime.

[@A_library_mouse]

Katie, I love watching your videos so much, thank you! ❤️ Keep the uploads coming we need it!😘

[@nicholasleonardbookedits-si9ng]

Some nebulas our eyes remind me of but did someone have your eye color once? Cobwebs have gone too long without our touch where princess-phantoms pray their genes prolong. Her phantom sees you pay to see a film, and sees you pay for fruit she used to plant. Those tangerines that hang are free to steal! because they’ll recognize her in your hand. How could our senses face this many tolls? How could they charge our sense of taste and sight? Behind thy shoulder stands a lovely ghost who established the color of your eyes. Her jaw is dropped. Her heart revives to break, because her kin are less human, more slave.

[@MorningDew567]

I‘m currently re-reading the Flavia de Luce series, which vibes really well with October imo. Another book I‘m excited about that I don‘t see being mentioned anywhere yet, is 'If I have to be haunted' by Miranda Sun. Read the first page at the bookstore and it sounded so intriguing right away.

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Ray Bradbury and Darcy Coates are go to authors for October and November.

[@DarrahCulp-yd3pi]

I read Starling House on NetGalley and I LOVED IT.

[@ReadingNymph]

I agree so much October is the best month to choose books for 👌🏻 I plan on reading Interview With A Vampire this month as well ♡

[@Spiritbro77]

Interview is a really good book but the 2nd in the series "The Vampire Lestat" is in my top five books of all time. It is a GREAT book.

[@gerniahliburd]

Happy Spooky Season Katie! I can’t wait to see how many of these books you are able to get to this month. I mostly have new releases on my tbr this month like: A Curse For True Love, Wildfire, Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Chalice of the Gods, Hopeless, Caught Up, The Throne of The Fallen, and Spy x Family Vol 10 but I also plan to finish Bad Blood and Tweleve by Jennifer Lynn Barnes this month. I hope we both have an amazing reading month! 💙

[@MariasNook]

October is almost over as I'm watching this but I'm still planning on reading One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig this month which I'm really looking forward to!

[@annal8043]

I really want to read Babel this October. I feel like dark academia is perfect for fall!

[@Soup.of.Mandrake]

OMG I’m SO HAPPY to see you read Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice!! I’m currently on book three of the series. 🎉🎉🎉 I think Anne is a great writer so hopefully 🤞🏽 you think so too.

[@LaFille_13]

You should try Shirley Jackson's short stories. They're really good. I read The Lottery last year during fall and it was the best time to read that. I don't usually gravitate towards short stories but these were really good.

[@shawnieadams1319]

I read Small Favors last week and really enjoyed it

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Im reading Wolfsong by TJ Klune and Im loving it. Assistant to the Villain is next, but I have a stack of 14 I want to read by November 😁

[@pipermint13]

love the bat glasses!🦇

[@dgoz97]

I think the only atmospheric book I have planned for October is Eva Evergreen and the Cursed Witch. I read the first book last season and lm excited to read the second one. Otherwise I'm just trying to finish my 23 in 23 list that I am more behind on then I would like to be for only have 3 more months

[@cheyennecraft8498]

Planning on finishing Kingdom of Ash by SJM, then reading the Bone Season, TID, and some Hades x Persphone books so far for October. Happy reading everyone

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

I have the Kiss Curse on my TBR for this month as well as some other books. Thank you for making me pick up the wisteria society of lady scoundrels, I really loved it

[@ellabj]

[@user-f2j7k]

I finished small favors last month and the town was our spooky vibes with really no plot hahah!! Perfect for the fall time tho!

[@b1398]

my bev of choice for this vid is a fruit punch caprisun :) so excited to be a new member of your patreon! (i also started listening to the audiobook of the ex hex, you've inspired me)

[@Nia_meow_]

Currently I am reading the city of ghosts /the graveyard book

[@shawnieadams1319]

The Ex Hex is arriving today, based on your recs, and might be my new yearly re-read too. 😍

[@emmakgill]

Small Favors is so good and gives me major "The Village" vibes if you've ever seen that movie! I hope you enjoy it🍂

[@allier1940]

Great tbr! I just started watching your channel! I plan on reading the new Alice Feeney book and Lisa Jewell book. I’m also very excited for Adrienne Young’s new book and Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare!

[@CassandraAnn1313]

I CANNOT wait to see your thoughts on Masters of Death. It was....an experience 💀I still don't know how I feel about it.

[@cassandralynnreads]

Won't be reading any of these 🫡 but I hope you enjoy all your spooky reading

[@mynameissiddharth]

I've read Rice's _Interview with the Vampire_ and Bradbury's _From the Dust Returned._ Both are great. I'd like to ask a couple of questions: 1. How do ghosts, who can pass through solid walls, stand on solid floors? 2. A vampire bites and sucks the blood of a human, turning him/her/them into another blood-thirsty vampire in the process. That way, the whole world should have been populated by vampires by now. No humans, just vampires everywhere. Isn't it?

[@Klara_with_a_K]

It’s not a short story collection, but it’s a short book. I would recommend Dark Harvest. Most of the book takes place on Halloween and I absolutely devoured this book. 🎃

[@nnng335]

I WISH I had time to read...'studying till death' will be my phrase this year

[@shonnarobertson6462]

I first read Interview with a Vampire when I was at university. I can’t remember at what point in the story I became completely hooked, but I had to finish it in one sitting. Which of course meant I finished it at 2 or 3am… and then had to go to sleep with the light on, because the book had hooked me in so much I was terrified Lestat would appear at the end of the bed as soon as the light went out! That may be why I avoid horror now, I’m entirely too susceptible to that kind of story.

[@finjapapendorf1648]

you read the shadowhunter short story collections 😂👍🏻

[@JamieReads_1]

I am doing a STINETOBER with a bingo border this October. It's going to be fun. And not all the prompts are to just read Stine books. But you should read Goosebumps Welcome to Dead House its the first goosebumps book.

[@macaylahbortner913]

Another amazing video & perfect tbr!! Hope you enjoy your reading month 🥰 I just started Catriona Ward’s “The Last House on Needless Street” and it’s sucking me innnn

[@tiffbecks1190]

Have you read Salem’s Lot by Stephen King? I’m not a Stephen King girlie, but trust me, give it a go.

[@charliescozycorner]

Why do those bat glasses remind me of that dude who flirts with Sam on the dance floor in a Cinderella story 😂

[@Scotty_Heh]

For me I finished Halloween Party by Agatha Christie, next is Frankenstein, and after I was gonna read a book called “Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister”

[@AashiAggarwal-l1b]

happy October and fall🎉🎉🎉.... I'll try to read the atlas six and the whole truly devious seriess

[@Sarah.reads.sometimes]

Alright. You’ve convinced me. I just signed up from BOTM to get The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak & Magic 🧙‍♀️😆😍

[@christy2935]

I'll always recommend House of Leaves for a spooky read. I just read What Moves the Dead and was a bit disappointed. It had atmosphere and horror but I wanted more of it. A romance between Katrina van Tassel and Ichabod Crane has become a common plotline in Sleepy Hollow adaptations. Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow had the flirtation/start of their romance, and there was a show in the 2000s called Sleepy Hollow where they were married and she was a witch. The first season was fun, but it went downhill. I haven't re-read Interview with a Vampire in forever, but the movie with Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Kirsten Dunst still holds up. I've heard the show is good too.

[@ellamaincent173]

I've read Small Favors and i liked it ! I think you will enjoyed it :)

[@emmasbooklore]

Love it! Where do you buy your UK editions from? I always used Book Depository and I'm still mourning that loss 😢

[@marliscan]

Shades of Rust and Ruin by A.G. Howard for a excellent weird creepy Halloween story!!!

[@starlasell5698]

❤📚♥️. I'm reading Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury this month! Your October reads sound amazing! Small Favors was pretty good!

[@michellemp1626]

My October TBR is: My Roommate Is A Vampire The Ex Hex (per your recommendation 😊) The Amityville Horror Before I Go To Sleep Yellowface

[@elliesarah2414]

I’m a HUUUUUGE Anne Rice fan!😅😍😍. I hope you enjoy it!☺️🧡

[@leandernandalee4041]

Small master of death spoiler: i loved the characters and I loved the whole setting. But it was to much character based for me. Where was the plot the first 270 pages? Just "the game here" and "does he love me" here. The ending was epic, yes. But the beginning and middel uff. Got terry pratchett vibes from death❤
