Reading 3 NEW Horror Books || Reading Vlog 👻

[@mariamm9400]

I'm proud to say that Gabby got me into thriller and now, she got me into horror. Love you Gabby.

[@rosanna0033]

I can not not finish a book once I’ve started reading. It’s an ocd curse... so reading gets slow for me when I read a boring book... ugh

[@stephanielemieux5319]

The concept of a playlist companion for a book is just so amazing 😄👌

[@ady48709]

I clicked so fast on this video. I love your videos! Thanks for getting me back into thriller/horror books.

[@hollyc4624]

I really liked Mexican Gothic and also was excited about the playlist! I love when authors do that. It had such atmosphere and Wuthering Heights vibes which is probably why I liked it. There were some issues with it but overall I flew through it, faster than I expected.

[@jenniferpayne2381]

Even if you don't end up liking the books in your readathons, it's still great watching you read through and review them :) Also, saves adding another middle-of-the-road book to my tbr! Keep up the great work :)

[@whatruthreads]

Yours are the only vlogs I watch. Please keep up the horror/thriller vlogs, I need these in my life, messy or not!

[@ChampagneCents]

Great music choices for this - I feel creeped out just watching! You really have inspired me to read more horror books, and I am SUCH a scaredy cat!

[@devonmunn5728]

Nice to see you reading The Only Good Indians. Alot of this authors works are on my TBR and Indigenous reviewers talk about how the book talks about the effect of intergenerational trauma on the characters

[@seeell]

a reading vlog that is my holy grail aaaaa!!!! every reading vlog that you do especially about horror/thriller is pretty much highly anticipated by us & i hope you know that!!

[@gabbyreads]

Sel thank you 🥺🥰

[@HaileyAnnReads]

Omg I love that Mexican Gothic has a playlist!! That is so cool!! I just got it in the mail yesterday and now I really want to pick it up 🤩 the playlist is also on Apple Music btw!!

[@_foreverabookaddict_]

I stayed up until 2am last night and I was about to go to sleep because I'm sooooo tired.......and then you post a new video. Staying up to watch!! Lol. 👏💖🎉

[@connorfuges4936]

I read the first 125 pages of It by Stephen King today, and I'm loving it so far!!

[@missasissa]

Thanks for giving me more books to put on my TBR list! I just hope I will have time to read them once baby arrives! Love these reading vlogs. 😊

[@amberfox7164]

RIGHT ON TIME! I needed this after the day I’ve had. Haha & I don’t even read horror. 🤣👏🏻

[@beautynbrainzxo]

Same! I just need some Gabbyreads in my life!!

[@amberfox7164]

Melissa Cook Yes!!!

[@bts_vinyl]

I also sadly didn't really like Survivor Song. I've read 3 other books by Paul Tremblay that all got between 4 & 5 stars from me. So it was a big disappointment to have this one be like 2.5 :( Mexican Gothic definitely had a bit of a slow start. But once the story really picked up I enjoyed it so much. The spooky vibe of the house and creepy family was great.

[@gabireinoehl]

also ordered The Troop last week thanks to you & i am SO EXCITED

[@gabbyreads]

Gabi Reinoehl 🥳🥳🥳

[@JurassicReads]

What a rollercoaster 🤣 I did enjoy your little interludes to update us on what REALLY was going on. I'm really excited for Survivor Song and the pages look so cool in this! I think I need to pick it up from my library, um, IMMEDIATELY. In the meantime, I just downloaded The Cabin at the End of the World to listen to on audiobook - I didn't realize it was set in New Hampshire, where I live! I'm already scared

[@gabbyreads]

Jurassic Reads ahhh I hope you enjoy it! 🥰

[@kate5680]

The Only Good Indians is on my TBR! So excited to start it now-have you checked out K M Dudley’s Cavalier? A bit of thriller, horror, and dark humor that kind of fits in nicely with your list!

[@devonmunn5728]

As a lover of Indigenous literature, Stephen Graham Jones' works in general are on my TBR

[@gabbyreads]

No I haven’t read it! I’ll have to check it out! 😌

[@CherAquili]

This is my absolute favourite type of video to watch!💯🥰 Once again, thank you for your fantastic content. By watching your videos, I get more motivation to read.

[@thesouthernbookend6093]

Woke up at 2 am (shrugging) & immediately got on youtube & watched Gabby lol. I love your energy.

[@bridgetuphoff2129]

I can't wait to read Survivor Song. I have a few weeks to wait until it's available on my library app. But I love virus post apocalyptic, zombie, infection books. So I am looking forward to this.

[@jennafra]

Even though you didn't enjoy all the books, I'm still so excited to read them all and I love your vlogs. Especially the horror vlogs.

[@alondrapuentesgallegos5093]

I just finished Mexican Gothic and I absolutely loved it. I dont think I've ever read anything like it, it was definitely disturbing at times.

[@theycallmelulu454]

Girl!! A late night video? I’m loving this. Haha just what I needed

[@Luna-po5ui]

Mexican Gothic was the WEIRDEST book I have ever read in my LIFE. In contrast to you I liked the slow, historical Gothic beginning. I liked the mood and the mysterious vibes quite a bit. It was when it went full...well I can't say without spoiling...but basically when we got the dramatic answers I just could not. Wayyyy too ridiculous for me omg

[@ruqworld]

Gaby I love how u describe books . Its amazing .

[@megslibrary]

That sucks man, well hopefully you read something soon that surprises you ! You should make a video sharing what camera you use and how you edit your videos. I would definitely pursue a book tube channel if I could only get the basics down haha keep up the good work and I hope when I read survive song I might like it a little more 😂👍🏻

[@BohoBookworm]

I cannot wait for Paul Tremblay's new book! It's sounded so amazing but what a pity you're disappointed. I still want to read it, though Covid has me suuuuper anxious and I have heard that his book is way too similar to what's going on in the world right now so I'm afraid I'll get really freaked out haha. The format looks strange!

[@GwendolynKensinger]

I think I’ll be removing The Only Good Indians from my wish list. Mexican Gothic is on my Reading Rush TBR and I really wanna love it! Thanks for sharing the playlist!

[@PositiveWriterr]

I haven't really heard of these books but the cover of Mexican Gothic alone makes me want to at least check it out. Rip it being a let down at least at first but I think I'll wait to read it just because of how mixed the reviews are.

[@AmandaBrown-ht1gl]

Yesssssss. I'm so ready for this!!!!!

[@BookishRaider]

I love your comment about just touching your nails and your experience about working in a restaurant. It may have just been me, but I thought that it was pretty cute.

[@xoHAUTEGLiTTERS]

Pail Tremblay endings always do this to me. Glad I know!

[@tulashamhart6795]

I read Survivor Song as well, only gave it 3 stars. It did have a great premise. I also read Mexican Gothic and gave 3.5. I just picked up Kill Creek by Scott Thomas. It has been recommended to me several times, you might want to check it out. Take care, be well and stay safe.

[@JZETH_]

Survivor Song has now been added to my October TBR.

[@jamiemasters2464]

Your adventures in horror and thrillers have made me want to dive into it! I'm scared tho because my partner works nights so I'm home alone at night 😂😂 I've fallen in love with John Marrs because of you and Kayla though!

[@divad44]

I read Stephen Graham Jones short book Mapping The Interior and HATED IT lol gave it 1 star. I’m so excited to start cabin at the end of the world!

[@kelceyblue1402]

You should try The Last One by Alexandra Olivia. It’s about a survivalist reality TV show then goes into a real apocalyptic world. It’s really good and, in my opinion, highly underrated.

[@jessicamll324]

Aww super bummed you didn’t love survivor song. I have a hold on it from my library cause I thought maybe my bf would enjoy it. He is not a reader at all but loves zombies. Sounds like it may be a bust for him lol. I will still give it a go tho when my gold comes in!

[@sydlovesbookss8352]

Yes please keep on doing these videos

[@jess6032]

YES A NEW VIDEO!!! So much for sleep :D

[@accalloway1950]

Thanks for making this so much fun. I enjoyed your reviews.

[@GwendolynKensinger]

We literally have the same thoughts on Survivor Song. I actually did a spoiler vlog for it (not up yet!) and I also enjoyed The Cabin at the End of the World 100X more!

[@gabbyreads]

Gwendolyn Kensinger haha that’s awesome I can’t wait to watch it! 🥰

[@GwendolynKensinger]

gabbyreads it’s up now 😉

[@atomwriter4606]

Kinda sad to hear about the new Paul Tremblay. There is a pretty creepy horror that I recently found called Come Closer by Sara Gran about I woman slowly becoming possessed. It is a short read but I am definitely liking it. (spell check originally changed creepy to crappy WTF. This book is pretty awesome.)

[@Wolfhailstorm]

Loved the creepy dubstep music in this! :D

[@pattireinheimer5612]

If you’re not completely done with Paul Tremblay, you might want to try A Head Full of Ghosts. It was my first book of his and I loved it.

[@WitchRocks]

I LOVE THE MIDNIGHT!

[@almiraalmira1451]

love the background music,it is so creepy :)

[@dianeknecht1859]

I just finished Survivor Song as well on audio and I'm glad I'm not the only one that was disappointed in it. My fav part was the teen boy zombie hunters.

[@jamesduggan7200]

I'm interested in Mexican Gothic (really love the cover), so your VLOG is helpful; thx.

[@megs_bookrack]

Sorry these ones didn't work as well for you, Gabby! But very happy to hear you aren't giving up on horror. Maybe you could do a 'reading women in horror' vlog. That could be super fun. Maybe something like: Brother by Ania Ahlborn (which I think you would enjoy), The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher and Teeth in the Mist by Dawn Kurtagich. But regardless, whatever vlogs you do, I'll be watching them. :) Be well! xx

[@megs_bookrack]

Or go classic and read Shirley Jackson! The Haunting of Hill House perhaps...

[@spookygeek9459]

Mexican gothic on my T B R thank you for sharing I’ll check out the other one as well 📚📚📚

[@katrinabrown]

I have fifty pages left of Survivor Song, and I'm freaking OUT!

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

Try The Resurrectionists by Michael Partrick Hicks (it also has a sequel). It's on Kindle Unlimited if you have that.

[@christinelagueux8155]

Oh no. I have been so looking forward to these thrillers. I just got Little Heaven by Nick Cutter. Since I loved The Troop maybe I will read this book next.

[@isabellaz8218]

I felt exactly the same about survivor song!!

[@AllenFreemanMediaGuru]

Oh no, I joined BOTM and Mexican Gothic will be my first from them. Now I’m hoping I like it more than you did. Great video.

[@CandiceMarquette]

Finished survivor song before I saw this video and felt the same way. The opening was epic. I differ in that I loved Josh and Luis more than Natalie and Romola. I felt the guys friendship was a slight reminder of Sam and Frodo. Two buds dedicated to their cause and determined to see it through. I wanted the author to really bring the doom and gloom but we’ve been spoiled by wonderful horror books this year and our real life is now degrading into pandemic horrors. Makes for a great cleanser, quick read if you just want to escape into an easy story.

[@thestrawberryfeilds2]

Mexican Gothic’s playlist is THE BOMB. Garbage, Echo and The Bunny Men and most of all Joy Division! I can’t wait to read it! Maybe this playlist will help me get through it!

[@BellesLibrary]

U have some long breaks at work lol I've been unsure about Mexican gothic going on my tbr I feel like there's alot of mixed reviews out there

[@sunkissedbeautyxo]

i actually would be better if corona had a shorter incubation! the reason why covid has spread so fast is because the death rate is so low and the incubation period is so long! that was interesting when you were talking about survivor song. I have it on Scridb and cant wait to try it!

[@sunkissedbeautyxo]

oh haha damn i just saw ur final review lol

[@masheytiromero6278]

Survivor song sounds ALOT like Coldbrook by Tim Lebbon. Can you do a video comparing the two? The premise and virus sounds the same I mean.

[@phillipblack480]

For me Mexican Gothic was a great read...finished it within two days which is pretty fast for me. I wasn´t bored for one page and for me this is Gothic horror at it´s best. Like those Vincent Prince Poe adaptations with a fresh twist. Also I had no issues with the writing...I´m from Germany and although English is not my mother´s tongue it was crystal clear. But tastes are different, so.

[@sammii2009lo]

So I just started to read the book “Survivor Song” and the start of it was so crazy intense. Happened all so fast! I’ve heard mix reviews about it... hopefully I like it... I’ll give update later once I finish.

[@katem198]

The Chromatics are great! I discovered them as they appeared as a band on the Twin Peaks remake ✌️

[@anneerickson8614]

I could not finish Survivor Song. I felt like I was on a bus with a couple of sixth grade girls with all the childish bantering between the two, nothing about their characters said adult to me. It also got to the point if I read "Rams" or "Nat" one more time...

[@billkeon880]

The premise of Survivor Song sounds exactly like The Missing by Sarah Langan. Maybe try that one

[@marietaghazaryan9138]

The plot of Survivor Song to me felt like if the first episode of The Walking Dead would be stretched into a full-length self-standing movie and the exploration of the universe would at Rick’s reunion with his family. Yes, it is satisfying, but is it enough?

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I’ve heard nothing but great things about Mexican Gothic so I’m glad you have a different opinion

[@christinelagueux8155]

I am only 48 pages in with The Only Good Indians and I have to say I am confused with this book. I don't know if I will be able to read this because I have no idea what is going on.

[@karamarie6781]

Ok I am gonna say it-the ending of Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay? MEH. I was like WTF? The book concept and his writing were both great but the ending...REALLY? I am kind of Leary about picking up another one of his books.

[@pattireads8001]

Ooh I gotta read Survivor Song!

[@AbiofPellinor]

I've put The Only Good Indians and Mexican Gothic on my tbr!!

[@keiralaub6880]

Have you read the handsmaids tale? It’s really screwed up. Btw I’m only 13

[@ReadingWithJess]

Sooo excited to watch this

[@harleyfinley5489]

Random, but what case do you have on your phone? The purple and blue sides

[@gabbyreads]

Harley Finley I’m not sure what it’s called it was just a random phone case I found on amazon a year or two ago haha 😅

[@rafaelboanova8408]

I love your videos so much ❤

[@linettemendez70]

I have Survivor Song last September and guess what? I liked that book and give it four stars.

[@kelseytokar]

I read The Only Good Indians and sadly did not enjoy it at all. I couldn’t get on board with the basketball game. I had such high hopes for it too 😔

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

I dnf'd Survivor Song. I agree with you as far as with how much I read.

[@ericzonsantos5662]

I watch your videos everyday. 💚💚💚 I looooove your thriller recommendations. And I am so so happy that now you're really reading more horror. 💚💚💚 Hope you can read and review The Ruins. I absolutely love The Troop and The Ruins made me think of The Troop. (Tho The Troop is probably better) I really trust your opinion. 💚💚

[@TammyAnnVideo]

I was so disappointed in Mexican Gothic. It all fell apart for me. I am ready The Only Good Indians now. It’s really creepy so far.

[@samrosequi]

I started listening to Survivor Song on my commute to and from work. BUT I work in healthcare and was getting too stressed listening to it before work 😂

[@koribee7743]

Love these videos you do, sorry you didn’t like these books as much as you hoped to.

[@lara_waraful]

I feel exactly the same way about Mexican Gothic! It’s a weird book for sure haha I enjoy gothic horror but I wouldn’t say I really enjoyed Mexican Gothic. It was super average.

[@cherries630]

drinking challenge: take a shot every time gabby says "Mexican Gothic"

[@candaceemery4617]

OMG Gabby I have your next Stephen King recommendation it's called different seasons it's four stories but two of them are my all-time favorite movies The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me

[@Mystique753]

Mexician Gothic was one book i was looking so forward too , but i was so dissapointed ...couldn't even finish it i was so bored

[@jessicajacobson2337]

Bummer dude!!! Still a good entertaining vlog though!

[@gabireinoehl]

what was the song you played in your car on the way to work?? i love it :,)

[@gabbyreads]

Gabi Reinoehl Girls Just Wanna Have Some by Chromatics 🥰

[@viniciuscastro4757]

love from brazil 🇧🇷 ❤️

[@prodo2144]

Why is it not hallowwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeen yet??

[@gabbyreads]

Didraj Meshach right??? Ughhh

[@Scott-sca]

I had the same experience with Survivor song, the beginning of the book freaked me out and i was so excited to continue and then when i got to the end i was like what the F!!!!! did i just read, i hated the ending! i was so excited then very disappointed with the book

[@ByMadisonFox]

awww sorry it didnt go as well~!

[@pattireads8001]

I posted below before I actually listened to your whole review...hmm, now I don't know, lol!

[@kimadams6361]

💙

[@BlueEyedSkinner]

If you want to test your dislike for apocalyptic books, you should try The Road by Cormac McCarthy. That one was freaky.

[@gabbyreads]

Stefani West I actually did read that one as required reading in college and I wasn’t a huge fan of it 🥴😫

[@ruffoloreads]

We need a romance vlog next! 😅❤️🥰💖

[@WSATpod]

for me, the cabin at the end of the world was slow paced, nothing happened, twists were underwhelming, nothing was explained, the ending was the worst ive ever seen. 1 star from me.
