Reading Korean Thriller + Horror Books 🇰🇷 [and listening to BTS for the first time]

[@gabbyreads]

If you missed it I followed up this video with a live show where I reacted to BTS music videos with my mom, it was soooo much fun! You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3TCoqxnbKuXmas 💜

[@mcsims6094]

Here are some of my favorite BTS songs! I hope you like them: 1. Outro: Tear 2. Save Me 3. Fire 4. Ugh! 5. Just One Day 6. Cypher pt. 3 7. Mic Drop Remix 8. The Truth Untold 9. Trivia: Seesaw 10. Mama (my ringtone when my mom calls lol)

[@audrelordelore]

I'd like to add these: Rain Love is not Over Pluto (134340) Home Ddaeng Lost Black Swan

[@ashleyegli1886]

I am legit living for the BTS reactions! I could watch you react to their music all day!

[@adriannaslibrary2909]

Me too! Would literally watch a 12 hour video of her reacting to all of their songs 😂❤️

[@angelreads5300]

My kdrama recommendation for you would be 'My Mister'. I've watched 50+ kdramas in last 5 years and this is still in my top 5. It's about two people, a young girl in her early 20s and a married man in his late 30s, both going through tough times in their lives. It's a story about how these two people change each other's perspective on life just by their small acts of kindness. It is not a romantic relationship that they have, like it is in most kdramas. It's just a beautiful slow paced but heartwarming and sometimes heartwrenching story about life and it's struggles. Gabby you have to watch it sometime, you really have to. It is not a very popular show like the ones you've been recommended but trust me on this, you're gonna love it. It's been 3 years since i watched it and i still think about it. It is just amazing! Also, i realised, I've been watching you almost everyday for the last 1 month and you're probably one of my favourite KZbinrs, so congrats for that😁 Your reading vlogs and Recommendations videos are my personal favs.

[@suzy8109]

This would be in my top ten TV drama series of all time, not just Korean. I re-watched it recently on Netflix and reminded myself why I loved it so much. The story is beautiful and the acting is so touching and subtle. I second your recommendation. 👌

[@Devi15]

Yes to My Mister🖤 It hits you right in the feelings

[@hannahg5106]

omg as a korean-american, seeing my fav booktuber fall in love with my culture is so fun 🤩 I learned from watching Jack Edwards that some of the members of BTS are avid readers and they include some cool literary references in their lyrics and music videos.

[@trayvixk4642]

True, RM is a big reader and he likes to give recs to fans every now and then. That's why his song lyrics are so poetic.

[@gabbyreads]

🥰🥰🥰

[@ruthypoo2675]

What a treat! Yes, more please. You also asked for recommendations of other cultures that you could explore for future vlogs and I’d like to suggest a couple besides the obvious Scandinavian horror juggernaut. 😉 Perhaps India that has books like The Other Side: Dare to Visit Alone?, Season of Ghosts, A Face in the Dark and Other Hauntings, or The Face at the Window. And there are movies too, such as 13B: Fear Has a New Address or Machhli. Another possibility is Persian horror books and films. Some possible reads are The Blind Owl or Haunted in Milan, and the horror films would include A Dragon Arrives!, The Night, Under the Shadow, and A Girl Walks Home Alone. Have fun! 😊

[@gabbyreads]

That’s so awesome, thanks Ruth!! 🥰

[@ruthypoo2675]

@@gabbyreads You’re so welcome… and I didn’t even touch on the fun cooking experimentation possible! The Indian horror is interesting in that mythology is intertwined along with the aspect of traditional generational family responsibilities. The Iranian horror in the other hand is rich with socio-political messaging, often being called feminist horror because the themes illustrate issues re sexism and equality. Of course, the best horror is almost always a story birthed by some strong human emotion, attitude, or experience. It’s very exciting that you’re starting on this multi-cultural journey that’ll broaden not only your exposure to the creatives from different countries, but all of ours too! 🤩

[@hiddenrainbow12]

Crash landing on you is absolute perfection. Rich SK girl lands in North Korea and is hidden by a soldier. Fake dating, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, forbidden love, the hero protecting the girl from all bad, and a million more romance tropes. On top of that A+ action, great female friendships, fantastic overall arc. It's 100% bingeable.

[@NoaJasmine]

I’m so glad you’re getting into BTS!! I also (as a Japanese American) would totally enjoy watching a video of you exploring Japanese books/culture

[@makaylagrant873]

As someone who's watched kdrama for a while... and a kpop fan for a while... here's some recommendations. You can find these on Netflix or Viki I believe if you watch legally. Flower of Evil (about a detective starting to suspect her husband of murder and personal favorite on mine) The Uncanny Counter (supernatural and surprisingly really good) Psychopath Diary (an amnesiac finds a psychopath's diary and thinks it's his 😬) Hospital Playlist It's Okay to Not Be Okay (for a show depicting mental health, it's really bold since it's a taboo subject in SK) Cinderella and the four nights Running man (A variety reality show for good laughs. There's a set casts and sometimes a couple celebrity guests as they play various games and find a winner. Sometimes they do themed episodes with a plot-twist. One time they even made a boat out of cardboard, duct tape, and saran wrap and crossed the han river) Song recs Dremacatcher: Scream 10cm: what the spring? B1A4: Like a Movie Epik High: Rosario, Lesson Zero Wonder Girls: I feel you Twice: cry for me, alcohol-free IVE: Eleven Mamamoo: egotistic

[@vishmidharmasiri8665]

Gabby, you are my favorite KZbinr and I'm a huge fan of BTS! I literally screamed when I saw the title of this video. You inspire me so much ❤

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks so much!! 🥰

[@theOnlydillweed1]

Omg a nearly one hour reading vlog !!! There is just something so cozy and comforting about these videos. So glad when we get them

[@rosebailey2652]

Gabby, have you ever watched the Korean horror/thriller called “I Saw The Devil” from several years ago? OMG! It’s perfect and Lee, Byung Hun superstar stars. It’s SO good!!

[@kittyshiv]

thats one of my favs! oldboy is incredible too, older one

[@imahfathi1518]

I saw the devil so good.

[@sharath_95]

Yes.. it's a great film and Memories of murder also so good directed by 'parasite' director!!

[@gabbyreads]

No I’ll have to check it out! 👀

[@marmaladegirI]

I am just now getting into kdramas and currently been obsessed with “I am not a Robot” the drama is freaking adorable and hilarious I know you’ll enjoy it. Also Our beloved summer is top tier👌🏾

[@googleuser5091]

Nothing beats "Kingdom " if you love zombies, the story is just perfect, it's what started the zombie genre in Korean series but it's sad it doesn't get love it deserves

[@violet00261]

DIS-EASE IS A BOP!! If you check out more BTS music I recommend looking up their translations on Doolset because they write their own lyrics and they're so beautiful and comforting. Anyway, I can't wait to read Cursed Bunny now, I love the cover!

[@cass-reads]

Drama wise, Hello, My Twenties is top tier! Also recommend Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (my favorite rom-com with some incredible actors - you get college life, athletic dreams, and even some hard-hitting moments about depression that have stayed with me over the years) and Reply 1988 (super long, but worth it - it's a slice of life drama set post-dictatorship about a group of families that live in a lower class neighborhood). Book-wise, Human Acts by Han Kang is one of my favorite books. It's a historical literary novel that focuses on the ramifications of the Gwangju Uprising for several characters over decades. I wouldn't read the full synopsis, because I somehow didn't, and there was an event towards the start that hit me especially hard because of that.

[@Sadie896]

Ok, so not toooo familiar with BTS songs, but when I heard "Baepsae" .. I was like thats the best song. You got to listen to it!! :)

[@coconameade]

Some kdrama rec: Horror/thriller - Strangers from Hell - The Guest - Save Me - Kingdom - 365: Repeat the Year - Memorist - Duel - Tunnel - Train - Circle - Class of Lies - White Christmas - Extracullicular - Flower of Evil - Liar Game - Nobody Knows - Beyond Evil - Children of Nobody - Happiness - The Bad Kids (this is a cdrama but its soo good and weird at the same time) - My Name - Bad and Crazy Romance: - Whats Wrong With Secretary Kim - Fight my Way - A Business Proposal - Hometown ChaChaCha - Something About 1% - Youth of May - 30 but 17 - The Secret Life of My Secretary - Someday or One Day (it's a taiwanese drama but it's possibly the best time traveling series i have ever watched!) Rich people ones: - Sky Castle - Penthouse - The World of the Married - Mine - Graceful Family - Lie after Lie Some other stuffs: - Hi Bye Mama - Mr Sunshine - The Bridal Mask - 18 Again - Reply 1988

[@nicholcd53]

Love your themed vlogs and can relate. Train to Busan 🚂 is what got me on Korean horror! 🧟‍♀️ Currently watching All of Us are Dead on Netflix because of you! Loving it!

[@elidhios]

Cursed Bunny was my fav book of 2021, never heard of the other ones but I'm gonna look them up! 🤍

[@georgiacordeirodantas9010]

This was such a fun experience. I'm really happy that one of my favorite booktubers (Gabby) gave my favorite artist (BTS) a listen. If you are still willing to give BTS a shot I recommend the albums Love yourself: Answer, and Map of the soul: 7. These two are my favorite BTS albums and their lyrics mean so much to me (BTS members are all songwriters and producers). Basically all the books in this video are on my TBR and now I am even more excited to get to them.

[@yvetteb.4549]

I’m watching Flower of Evil too! And definitely watch Kingdom. Such an amazing zombie series

[@rubyjreads7503]

Kingdom was amazing!!!

[@RoxieRo86]

Great vlog. You live in such a beautiful place. The water looks peaceful. I am interested in trying these books.

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks Roxie! 🥰

[@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664]

Same Greatness from our end! Happy Bookish Monday Friends

[@wiktoriabadora1243]

I love this video idea Gabby!

[@gabbyreads]

🥰🥰🥰

[@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664]

Happy Bookish Monday , we are catching up on our videos and comments today

[@adriannaslibrary2909]

My favourite BTS songs are: 1. Best of Me 2. The truth untold 3. Fake Love 4. Spring Day 5. Mikrokosmos 6. Epiphany 7. Answer: Love Myself 8. Don’t leave me 9. Let go 10. Filter Just some of my favourites! 😍

[@amandac8449]

I would recommend Memories of Murder! Is a movie by the same director of Parasite and is based on true events! And for a series Signal is a really good thriller with a twist that I really loved!

[@sangrammohitepatil7215]

Signal is one of a kind! Koreans are top-notch when it comes to engaging thrillers.

[@meowkat347]

Yaaaayyy!! I can’t wait to see what you think about Sweet Home!!! That show was so unique and the characters were so well done!

[@bts_vinyl]

I bought Cursed Bunny over the summer but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Your thoughts on the book have me excited to start reading it! A Korean movie that I really enjoyed is called The Handmaiden. It's a tense, twisty story with beautiful cinematography. For BTS, I'd recommend checking out their album Love Yourself: Tear. It's the one that Fake Love is from!

[@cappuccinocrafts2412]

Excellent vlog and love the theme. Getting lots of great recommendations here. :)

[@amberkellogg9771]

Omg "its okay to not be okay" (is in my opinion) the best k drama on Netflix!! Its so beautiful and emotional and the chemistry of the two main characters is fire!!!! The OST is Amazing too!! The main heroine is a children's book author and her books are beautifully illustrated and oddly creepy. The whole show has a hidden creepy vibe and the twist at the end... Chefs kiss!! Just watch it please!! Also on Netflix is a k drama called "Rain or Shine" and its basically about a mall that collapses (in the trailer, not a spolier) and the effects years later on several different POVs. Deals alot with PTSD, so very hard hitting. And its just awesome and moving and for lack of a cheesier word, lovely!!💜💜 Also love love love BTS!! Favorite songs are "The truth Untold" which is a great sleep song and "Mic drop" which is a great NOT sleep song lol. Also "Spring Day". definitely best to watch the MVs for these on KZbin to get the full effect. They're beautiful humans and amazingly talented performers!! Also on KZbin, they do a beautiful Live cover of Coldplays "fix you" and JK (youngest member, there are 7 btw) does a beautiful cover of "falling" by harry stiles. Wow that was a lot lol. But I just got so excited bc you're my favorite book tuber and BTS is my favorite group and I love love love K dramas so it was just all too much lol!! In the best way!! 😋💙

[@gabbyreads]

That’s so awesome thank you so much! 🙌

[@blending_in]

I read Cursed Bunny because of this video.. and I actually loved Cursed Bunny and it's one of my favorite short stories in the book. It wasn't that interesting at first but then it got better and better and that plot twist at the end made it a 5 stars story for me! Surprised you didn't like it. Btw, I didn't really understand the ending of The Frozen Finger. I need an explanation 😭

[@staceygiosi3878]

Loving these type of video’s!! 💕💕

[@shanialanae1169]

I’m on the last episode of Crash Landing on You SOOOO GOOOD!!!!😭I’ve weeped like 3 times😂

[@LornaWallace]

Such a good reading vlog! I love that you used k-pop throughout it. Also #Alive is a Korean zombie movie that you might like!

[@rylee-_-4758]

kpop song recommendations! the letter by Ateez all about you by Ateez time of love by Ateez (this one is more upbeat) 00:00 by bts butterfly by bts coffee by bts home by seventeen maze in the mirror by txt airplane by stray kids she’s in the rain by the rose All of these songs remind me of life goes on! A lot of theses song are low but upbeat 😌

[@humairahamdi1887]

I clicked so fast when I saw BTS 😅 Their older songs has a lot more rap because they were supposed to be a hip hop group when they first started. Gabby, read the translation to their lyrics too!

[@ktwo08]

Kdramas get you in the feels

[@nt4075]

OMG! I've been reading thrillers/horrors since I discovered Goosebumps as a child and I must say, korean thrillers/horrors are in a whole nother league. Its so raw, so unnervingly truthful and the twists, men, the twists are twisted!!! Watch Kdramas for your movie channel to. I recommend watching Kingdom, Mouse, When the Camella Blooms, etc. Its a wonderful new creepy world, lol! Also, loved that you started listening to BTS because their songs are lyrically super genius, choreography, visuals, talents are amazing, their work ethic and passion for what they do is super inspiring, and their personalities are so qwerky chaotic and fun but so humble and real. Its another rabbit hole you'll want to explore. :)

[@jamais_vu3]

members of bts are avid readers as well! they have recommended a lot of books haha. also their lyrics are definitely inspired from a lot of the books and media they consume. if u ever end up reading their lyrics, refer to DOOLSET website which is one of the best translation websites for bts lyrics.

[@justinkhchen]

I read a Korean mystery/thriller recently, Lemon by Kwon Yeo-Sun, and thoroughly enjoyed it! It was short and a neat puzzle to put together. (Maybe avoid the audiobook - the narrators choice might've made it more confusing)🙃

[@ThePurple11green]

I was so excited that you listened to BE! I would recommend watching the ON music video! All seven of the members are so talented and when you see them perform on screen you will be blown away! I’d love to see a reaction video!!

[@krisr6640]

I agree! I love BTS and the music, songs and discography, but there is nothing like watching them dance and perform in their videos! On is is one of my favorites!!! 💜 so happy you enjoyed Be!

[@languagearts4412]

Yes, make a reaction video of some bts performances 💜 I'd love to watch that and see your opinion.

[@christinacampbellbooks]

Loved watching this after work! I definitely want to try some short story collections ☺

[@readbyamity5440]

Such a Fun idea, I can't wait to see what you think!

[@kate-ne]

You should consider doing a part 2 in May for Asian American history month! I have a whole list of books I plan to read by Asian authors that month, including The Hole which i know you have already read and I saw on goodreads you gave 4 stars!

[@gabbyreads]

That’s a great idea!! 😍

[@Slammjj]

OMG! Gaby listening to BTS?? 🤩 Wow!!! Please watch Hometown Cha Cha Cha on Netflix!!! It is such a healing drama with smalltown vibe and it is the drama that you will go back to rewatch it once in awhile! You will love it Gaby! 💙

[@tesselliott8090]

I know you wanted other country ideas, but there are a couple of other books like Made in Korea that I have read and I think you would like! - XOXO by Axie Oh - K-Pop Confidential by Stephan Lee - I Love You So Mochi by Sarah Kuhn

[@gabbyreads]

I just read XOXO after this video and I loved it sooooo much 😭😍 one of my favorite YA books for sure

[@nahdzz]

Our Beloved Summer is so cute! CRASH LANDING ON YOU is my all time fave and you MUST watch it. Also, I highly recommend Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha! I’m currently watching Thirty-nine and Business Proposal which have 2 new episodes every week. K dramas are superior!

[@Tisaya]

What a fun video (idea) that was!👏👏👏

[@rubyjreads7503]

That's awesome. There is so much good Korean literature to read. I hope you enjoy the books.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Every single B-roll had a banging song on and I could not resist busting out my best moves

[@gabbyreads]

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣

[@adriannaslibrary2909]

I LOVE BTS! My favourite member is Suga 😍 I love that you got me listening to Taylor Swift and now you’re listening to my favourite group! ❤️

[@kcm_1227]

Gabby, have you seen “Juvenile Justice?” It’s also on Netflix and really great drama:) I’m just so glad you’re enjoying Korean culture❤️

[@gabbyreads]

No I haven’t, I just heard of it the other day! I’ll have to check it out! 👀

[@joselynhernandez4817]

I would recommend Coffee Prince and Princess Hours. Coffee Prince was my absolute favorite. It stars actor Gong Yoo.

[@Devi15]

Gong Yoo🥰

[@aliciafaithreads]

I love this idea for a vlog! So interesting

[@asiantrumbles1604]

K-drama recs that fit the theme of this video: (Kingdom is god tier, but you already have that on your list) Murder mystery with a funny ensemble cast: Law School Crime thriller with plenty twists: Stranger Murder in the neighborhood, all the families have secret secrets but also rich people problems: Sky Castle What did I just watch? horror: Strangers from Hell

[@samankhalid1279]

You need to watch The Call on Netflix! It is the best korean thriller ever.!

[@gabbyreads]

Omg yes I forgot to mention this one at the beginning but it’s also one of my favorites!!! 😍😍😍

[@anjum.a]

Life Goes On is my favourite BTS song ever 🤩😍

[@__Jana]

Great video! I love korean dramas and movies so much. A horror/thriller recommendation would be strangers from hell (it should be on Netflix) and a more comedy action-ish crime/legal drama with some romance and a found family I want to recommend is Vincenzo (also on Netflix).

[@autumnritchie1473]

This was a great vlog! 🥰🥰🥰

[@Lovemesomesparkle]

Crash Landing on You is such an amazing show… it gives me all the feelings ah! I’ve seen it 6 times and might watch it again this weekend. I also recommend Goblin and It’s okay to not be okay!

[@haripriyamurali850]

My army heart is so happy I could cry Here are some of my favorite bts songs! I hope you like them: 1. Black Swan 2. Film Out 3. Serendipity 4. Lie 5. Coffee 6. My time 7. Home 8. Butterfly

[@sailorjkook]

With BTS there are two main units in the group and then subunits, but basically you have Vocal Line who are: Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook. Then you have Rap Line with: RM, Suga and JHope. You'll see a Rap Line Song and Vocal Line song and then loads of OT7 songs! Because you're very much into song writing and reading lyrics I totally suggest reading full English translations for their songs, I think you would really appreciate what they're saying to their audience :) My song recs would be: I NEED U Mikrokosmos Zero O'Clock Respect Spring Day Make It Right

[@gabbyreads]

Wow that’s so interesting I didn’t know that! I’ll definitely look up those songs! 🥰

[@zainaimran982]

OMG I love Flower of Evil! It got me into the mystery/thriller genre of Kdramas.

[@idkwhattonamemyself9326]

Woah it is such an interesting content.

[@jilltool7133]

My Step-Monster is Korean, and the food is soooo good! She is an amazing cook! I think if you get into Korean dish you’ll absolutely love it, and there desserts, aren’t as sweet as other desserts, there really good

[@eruditearchive]

Glad you liked Cursed Bunny. Ive been meaning to buy it, and just found out it is long listed for the International Booker Prize for 2022, which is unusual since usually they only nominate literary fiction, although it sounds like it is more a mixture of genres. Great vlog!

[@bookswithlexie]

This was such a great video! I'm loving the secret themed vlogs - they are a lot of fun and I love seeing what themes you come up with! I really want to check out Cursed Bunny now!

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks Lexie!! 🥰

[@jessicabridges4335]

I love the puppy snorts! hehe So adorable. 🥰

[@VJ-gl9vd]

Fun fact about our beloved summer - The main ost of the show is called Christmas tree and was sung by one the BTS member 'V' do check it out.

[@pratiksha2898]

Wow. Korean thrillers! Your reaction to BTS is so cute. You should listen to Love Yourself, Mic Drop, Black Swan and ON. Korean drama I binged watched - Happiness. It's a zombie apocalyptic show. You'll definitely love this as you loved All of us are dead. And another one is Vincenzo, it's about a mafia lawyer. I think you will like it.

[@lauramcgovern1745]

I have that exact Caraway set. Love it so much, use it every day!

[@gabbyreads]

It’s so nice 😍😍😍

[@bizarreindividual4026]

Thanks for making me go on a BTS rabbit hole for four hours when I was supposed to be reading lol 😂

[@piyalichowdhury4438]

🥰🥰🥰

[@PuttinOnTheSpritz]

I saw this title and gasped!!!!! This is awesome!!!!!!!

[@Mel_leit]

Oh My Ghost! Is a totally fun KDrama, great actors and a fun premise! It’s on Netflix!💕 🎵Listen to Super Junior ‘Mamacita’…. Silly/fun video! So fun!

[@theopinionatedwoman]

Omg I just read my first Korean thriller and vlogged it. I can't wait to get your recommendations for more! (coz I'm over eager and I'm commenting early)

[@rfinney1991]

BTS songs I 1000% recommend: louder than bombs, Answer: Love Myself, and Home :)

[@vivsaheard9092]

The Wailing and Kingdom are great movies and shows. The Wailing is super spooky and you can watch that on Prime right now

[@mahsash2301]

1 hour reading vlog yes😍

[@wowtennant3105]

If you're looking for more Korean Thriller/horror movies I would highly recommend The Wailing and Memories of Murder. Both are amazing!!

[@Jess-fp2wf]

I think you would really like the kdrama White Christmas. It’s such a great thriller. Some of my other fave kdramas are Healer, Pinocchio, I Hear Your Voice, School 2013, Masters Sun, It’s Okay That Love

[@librarikay]

it was so nice to hear your thoughts on bts’ “be” album 💜 “life goes on” has become a popular favorite for armys so i love that that song also connected to you in some way. i personally loved “stay” and “fly to my room”; i’m very curious what you’d think of their “you never walk alone” album so i would definitely recommend listening to that, if you would like!! since your listening experience with “be” was so short, i think you’d also enjoy the variety of songs in their “map of the soul: 7” album, that one is one of my all-time favorites to listen to, “black swan” & “moon” being my personal favorites so i’m excited to hear what songs might stand out to you

[@kriw5658]

This was a ton of fun!!!

[@piyalichowdhury4438]

Song recommendation: 1. Spring Day 2. Butter 3. Boy with luv 4. 4'O clock 5. Forever Rain 6. Moonchild 7. Filter 8. Stay alive 9. Seesaw 10. Awake 11. Blood sweat and tears(watch the music video please!) 12. Fire 13. Mic drop 14. Ugh 15. Pied piper

[@elletinglesASMR]

THE BTS REACTIONS AHHH love them and YOU❤️

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

[@MikyM88]

Seven Years of Darkness was also made into a movie named Seven Years of Night (2018) with Ryu Seung Ryong, Jang Dong Gun & Go Kyung Pyo...

[@ReadingWryly]

I’ve definitely been getting more and more interested in Japanese Horror lately, so I’m interested to see an episode about those. Kanae Minato is at the top of my list!

[@honsukihazel]

If you start to read Asian thrillers, you must not miss Higashino Keigo's books. He's Japanese author and a master of mystery. I highly recommend you to read every book by him, but 2 best ones to start are Malice and The devotion of suspect X; and also The Tokyo zodiac murder by Soji Shimada :)

[@ReadingWryly]

How funny, I just got recommended Cursed Bunny the other day and added it to my TBR, so I’m glad you liked it! I’ll have to get my hands on it SOO z

[@gabbyreads]

Ahhh I hope you enjoy it too if you read it!! 🥰

[@ediegar]

Ooooh i’m a HUGE BTS fan. They’re my favorite group/musician and it makes me so happy to see you’re checking them out. Their music is great and i would honestly recommend starting with their older stuff. Young Forever is their best album in my opinion, every song on there is top tier. Wings is another good album, it has Blood Sweat & Tears which is a legendary track lol

[@tobi_adediran]

Omg literally just did a reading vlog on Cursed bunny and have been patiently waiting for my fave booktubers to read it and review it too!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 So excited to see if you like it too as it's a new all-time fave for me!!! Btw these stories were a mix of different genres which is why not all were horror! Some were sci-fi, magical realism, fables, alongside horror ofc!😊

[@gabbyreads]

Ahh that makes sense!! It’s so good! 😍

[@infjkelly9366]

I love😍❤️your idea in this video

[@celly589]

I’ve also started driving places to read somewhere else to get out of the house. The past two years have really done me in and I need to get back in the habit of getting out. But I still want to read so I just drive somewhere, park, and read for a bit. It’s been really nice tbh

[@kendrapixley5113]

Romance is a bonus book is amazing!

[@anacarolinadesouza4724]

Gabby did you know that one of the protagonists in “Our Beloved Summer” (Choi Woo Shik) was in Parasite?!

[@gabbyreads]

No I didn’t realize that when I started watching it!! That’s so awesome 😍

[@mitszub]

Thank you for this video.

[@sharath_95]

Love to see when you are trying new things/content 💕

[@kellyreadingbooks]

I am not really on the Korean culture bandwagon that I’ve seen a ton of BookTubers/readers be on honestly, but I still loved this vlog! You made it so well rounded with TV, movies, music, and the books even including a fun YA pick and I wanted to comment how much I appreciate that! And the recipe looked incredible. So do those pots and pans! 😱 if you want to throw a casual update on how they are holding up in a few months I would not be mad to know 😁. I would love to see more countries like this, because I do find that the content I consume is so American focused and I don’t read very many translated works per year maybe 1-2. Lovely vlog!! 🥰

[@vivsaheard9092]

That's one of my issues with some of my favorite booktubers. I read authors from different countries like Nigeria, India, Korea, Latin America, pretty regularly so I'm so happy Gabby's doing this. Lots of great books out there and easy to put in your reading rotation.

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks so much Kelly!! 🥰
