I don’t know if you’ve read this yet but I would highly recommend Garlic and the Vampire, it’s really cute and perfect for fall. The illustrations are beautiful as well

[@kaleed.8260]

Garlic was awesome! I want Garlic and Carrot merch!

[@teresaglasco6082]

Just finished reading Garlic and The Vampire. Such a charming little book!❤

[@rhanealee]

YES. I just read that and absolutely loved it. I want the other book. Galic and the Witch. So stinkin' cute.

[@beckyjo2914]

Yes this is a 100% spot on rec. i just read both Vampire and Witch and they’re so sweet ❤

[@callyson1666]

Yes! We used to have Read A Thon days! We would bring blankets, food, and our favorite books to read ALL day. The best was when the Scholastic delivery came the same day! Memories! 🥰

[@wendyhill4092]

I read Cackle in a day. It gave me Gilmore Girl town vibes. Loved it. My daughter loves the Okay witch. The second one is just as good. 💀 I'm getting creepy vibes from Dracul right now

[@alexandraroselyn]

oooo maybe I'll pick up Cackle next then!

[@tc8404]

I enjoyed Crackle, it just fun read, not deep like most my horror/ thriller reads but just a short good read.

[@Riawyn]

👻 The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. Not scary and yes Twilight for grown ups but it’s awesome.

[@tc8404]

@@Riawyn wooo def have to check that series out. TY for sharing

[@dominiqueendeavors]

👻 I always stick around til the end...you're adorable and hilarious and so excited about reading that it makes me so excited to read! Thanks

[@samanthaaiello]

I’ve been saving this all day. My in-laws brought Covid home, and it’s slowly made it’s way through our multigenerational house. That’s so many people trapped together for so long. Send help lol Thanks for this amazing cozy video. I’m tucked in, hydrated, and resting while enjoying your perfect content

[@Neil-writer-author]

Feel better soon

[@samanthaaiello]

@@Neil-writer-author thank you! 💜🖤💜🖤

[@lauraa1345]

I'm so glad that your reading weekend went so well! There's nothing better than reading one 5 out of 5 stars after another👻👻

[@tamarabotha8720]

Levi, your reviews bring your reads to life and your vlogs are always so cozy! Thank you for the escape. Always enjoyable!

[@jennreyyy9636]

I always love watching your read-a-thon vlogs, they’re my fave!💛 Also those graphic novels look so good, you’ve def inspired me to go pick them up! I loved the cozy vibe of this vlog.✨👻

[@laureneverhart3292]

I'm currently snuggled up in bed with my dog, cross-stitching, and (of course) listening to this vlog. It's so cozy, and I love the aesthetic that you have. Also, if you like historical fiction, The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell is so good!

[@MoJordanReads]

I am about to finish Belladonna, probably tomorrow, and yeah, I'm on the hype train. I LOVE IT and especially loved the audiobook - Death is... amazing. Every time you talked about the relationships I was like, squealing and so excited for you to continue haha. I am actually exactly the same in terms of wanting to take my time with it. I've never cared to take my time with a book, but I 100% have with this one. I don't want it to end lol. Can't wait to hear your final thoughts.

[@jenniferinc6194]

I loved Cackle! BTW the other day, my friend and I played a drinking game while watching your videos... every time you say, "really really" we would drink haha We got pretty buzzed:) I love this idea by the way. Spooky books for two days, awesome 👻👻👻

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Yep, lots of "really really" going on

[@badandbookiee9081]

You have A Dowry of Blood already in the independently published paperback, I can’t remember if you read it already or not. It’s about one of Dracula’s wives. I know this because I bought the paperback because of YOU!!! 😂😂😂 the hardcover you recently bought is the published version. They redid the front cover. It was a five star for me so I know you’ll enjoy it. If you haven’t read it yet, RUN don’t walk! Lol

[@daphne8171]

Loooove these themed vlogs of you so much. I keep coming back to them whenever I am in the mood for fall and spooky vibes ❤

Lexi wanting the MC to get with Death is as if Eros and Thanatos did a fusion dance.

[@megwithbooks]

loved this vlog!! so excited to read House of Hunger and The Glass Witch!! 👻👻👻

[@goddess_eve21]

I have House of Hunger on my TBR, thinking of adding it to my November reads. I really loved hearing your take on it. I have read quite a few WTF Moment books these last two months. I have definitely been rating books 5⭐️. It is making it challenging to choose just one book for the month that was my fav 😅

[@sirahj9979]

“Every season that I don’t read like 100 books … I’m sad” Same. Hard same

[@danat3961]

You really do have the coziest channel. When I need to watch something to relax or to listen to while falling asleep (please don’t take that the wrong way 😅) I usually pull up asmr or your videos. I have also watched some more than once. I am probably your parents age 😆 but I just love your channel

[@ariana133]

OMG! I have been waiting for you to do a vlog like this! I can't wait to watch it! ♥

[@leezirkle7840]

Loved it! More books added to my TBR now. I think my TBR is longer than the life I have left. Lol. 👻

[@esliet]

Wow what a fab 48 hours 🎉 i think I need all of these books in my life 👻

[@BLaurieG]

WHOA OKAY I AM BACK WITH ANOTHER COMMENT (I don't have the patience to watch the full video before contributing my thoughts, clearly). I did not at all catch The Secret Garden parallels but you are so right!! I love The Secret Garden so no wonder I was also a Belladonna fan.

[@leonamcmurray6389]

Omg I was screaming at the screen when u were halfway through belladonna u have no idea what’s comin my top book of the year

[@cristianamarques99]

👻 the coziness of this video has me on a chokehold

[@katmancilla5777]

I still really think you should read Crumbs. It’s a cute graphic novel and it’s just soo good!!

[@emmacharles8028]

👻man, guess I have to go back to the bookstore AGAIN to pick up all these 5 star recommendations 🤷‍♀📖🏃‍♀

[@stormy3384]

Can you make a graphic novel book recommendations plssssss🙏🙏

[@vanessaamaya93]

I can’t wait for November readings… (Happy Halloween 🎃👻)

[@nknutson780]

This was great! can’t wait to read House of Hunger🎃

[@KristinKravesBooks]

I loved this vlog! Such a cozy few days. Everything you read is on my tbr so I'm thrilled with how well they all went for you!

[@MsELaHood]

I recognize that donut shop sign! We have a moon donuts where I live too.

[@donnasticher711]

The audio for Dowry of Blood is amazing!!

[@anirgianakis]

Nettle & Bone was one of my top reads this year!! It read like an adult fairy tale 🥰

[@karenposselt8275]

That was really fun! This is the first video I’ve watched by you and I enjoyed it a lot. I’m here because I heard of you from Gavin

[@joalgustas6498]

My fave scary non-Stephen King book I read this season (trying to read my way through his stuff), was “The Hacienda” by Isabel Canas. It scared the crap out of me, even more so than anything King has released! Very atmospheric, gave me Jane Eyre and Exorcist vibes. It was. SO. GOOD!!

[@alexandraroselyn]

I have heard such great things about that book! I really need to read it!

[@tressywiley3707]

Oh Lexi! the 56 year old me wants a cuddle up and read day! That sound so fun! Great video.

[@Lillyjoy]

I love the Okay Witch!! I read it last year, I love the cat and it made me laugh too 😊 another one I love for fall is Sheets by Brenna Thummler and it’s sequel Delicates 😊👻 I love your videos so much 😊

[@chriscze6153]

I finished my spooky book series a few days ago with two amazing witch novels - Slewfoot and In the House in the Dark of the Woods. Highly recommend both!

[@ReadingNymph]

Adding House of Hunger to my tbr! Such a great reading time, so glad you had so many good books 👻

[@m87020]

i love the shot of the burrito with the creepy music 🤣

[@amandadorner]

I love The Okay Witch so much! I'm currently reading My Best Friend's Exorcism and am loving it. Next up for me is The Girl from The Well and possibly a re-read of The Thickety if I have time, which is one of my favorite spooky books (creepy forest, grimoires, a Salem-like fantasty setting). I would also recommend watching AmysCrypt here on KZbin for spooky ghosty content👻❤

[@alexandraroselyn]

Oooo The Girl From the Well sounds cool!!

[@exomake_mehorololo]

The Thickety sounds interesting. Is this a middle grade or a YA?

[@amandadorner]

@@exomake_mehorololo I believe it's usually considered middle- grade, but I would say more in the upper middle- grade range for some darker themes❤

[@pamelakibildis1177]

@@alexandraroselyn I hope you enjoyed Belladonna Lexi and hopefully you finished it in this 48 hr readathon vlog cause it’s one of my favorite new books of 2022 😁😁

[@sohakhan09]

Hey Lexi!I absolutely love your videos,thankyou for making our day so much better✨💜

[@stephaniebookish]

So late to this but this was so cozy and what I needed! Also I’m literally always in bed by 9 and asleep at like 11, too, reading in bed right before sleeping is so cozy!

[@anautisticreader2963]

I’m glad you enjoyed all the books. That is always so satisfying.

[@robynlaura2786]

You have to read Dowry of Blood!! Sooo good ❤

[@BLaurieG]

I read The Glass Witch for the Foxenwood Readathon because of your recommendation! I knew I had to pick it up as soon as I found out the main character is Adelaide and goes by Addie, exactly like my 10-month-old daughter :)

[@brandim1230]

I am so excited to read the glass witch! I hope to get the book next week!👻

[@BrittanyBWrites]

love this readathon and as for spooky books...have you read catherine house?? It sounds and looks really good and also Anna Dressed in Blood if you have read that 👻

[@caitlynscupofcoffee]

Definitely going to get a warm drink and sit on my porch!

look at me still adding books to my spooky October TBR 4 days before Halloween 😅

[@normalnotincluded]

👻 Great video! I’m definitely adding House Of Hunger to my TBR. Might add Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke as well. I’m intrigued.

[@isabellekane9474]

Dowry of blood is amazing!

[@rocknregalia]

I am very excited for House of Hunger now because other friends have said they did not like it. I wonder which side I will be on.

[@leonamcmurray6389]

House of hunger is dark and gritty and beautiful another 5 star tead

[@aroojalvi6241]

I laughed so hard.... what's the name again of the main girl 😝....i'm sorry lexi but your misery of which book to pick made my day... it was hilarious... loved this vlog... also if you have a library can we please get a tour sometimes?

[@nicolealcorn8908]

👻I really enjoyed Belladonna. House of Hunger is on my tbr and I'm hoping to start it very soon. I love your videos! Thank you for giving me such a wonderful cozy place to escape to. 💕

[@ravenous_reads]

You should check out Witches of Brooklyn. It's a super cute witchy graphic novel in the same vein as The Okay Witch 🧡

[@elizabethstranger3122]

I love your spooky vlogs so much, lexi. Theyre so fun! Do you have other symptoms besides feeling that yiu have a cold and does this feeling of feeling sick get worse in nighttime? Im just asking, because thats whst happened to me before I knew i had a chronic illness and that was the cause of it. I really hope it gets better soon. And I know that it can mean a lot of different things, it most likely can just be cause by too much stress or if the weather is getting colder. Take care ☺🎃

[@bridgetvollmer6337]

Awesome Vlog! I loved seeing your pups, pets are the best reading buddies 👻

[@kristinagibson9020]

The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich. This is a mixed media stories. So good

[@katiefrank2162]

You’re proud of you and I am too 👏🏼 😊. Happy Spooky Season 👻!

[@sofiasundkvist]

Thank you for another vlog, absolutely love them! I read all 4 Heartstopper books AND Pumpkin Heads today, both 5/5 stars! Have to give House of Hunger a try ifa I can find it somewhere!

[@hxppyh5290]

AHHH IM SO EXCITED!!! I LOVE YOUR READATHON VIDEOS!!

[@banannakis6723]

Not to add to your TBR. But I'm currently reading a Middle Grade spooky that is just adorable. It's called Ghost Squad by Claribel A Ortega with a gorgeous cover. It's about a girl who lives in Florida and talks to ghosts. There are evil spirits that have come to town, so with help from her best friend, her best friend's witch grandmother, and a fat cat named Chunk. They have to battle the evil spirits and save the town by Halloween. It's roughly 237 pages and has been a quick fun read.

[@hellocharlieebarley]

17:12 when that unexpected thump sounded, i also froze lol

[@TheFabulousMrsBlake]

I just finished Belladonna. Pretty good - I'd say 4 out of 5. I currently have A Lesson in Vengeance, Nettle & Bone, They Never Learn and For Your Own Good on my nightstand. I have Cackle and Such Sharp Teeth on hold at my library - really excited about those two!

[@jenniferalb688]

Such a good vlog, want to read the graphic novels NOW! 👻

[@haleylquinton]

I can't with the name Signa 😂 it's like Cigna, the insurance company....

[@elizabethgordon1515]

From what I've seen others made the belladonna secret garden connection. When looking at interviews with the author she said it was the book that she "wrote for herself" in a sense. So maybe it's a play on one of her favorite stories as a kid?

[@mirandajones2315]

👻 I must get all these books! Especially House of Hunger.

[@dohabeshir9405]

I really enjoyed that video ❤️ i also loved "school of good and evil" movie and you made me excited to try reading the books ! Also got some nice recommendations (again) 🌚❤️

[@joannievh2071]

This is a great vlog. 👻 I just wish I could have heard your thoughts on Frankenstein... 😘 Perhaps before spooky season is over? 🙏💁‍♀️

[@caitlyn.m.t9618]

Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke is a favourite of mine, but I wouldn't reread it. Not because it was disturbing, though it did make me unable to eat meat for like three months. But more where I just don't have any desire to reread it, and I don't think I would enjoy it on a reread. I added it to my reread to see if I keep pile, and yeah. My five star rating dropped to a three, and I actually dnfed it. I love this book. I think it is a well written horror that the thought of it makes me immediately unable to eat meat. But it is also a one time read, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[@brittanyallen6778]

When you said it’s gross I laughed out loud lol 😂 ❤

[@CleverestStitch]

I want to read cackle and I can tell you nettle and bone is amazing!!!! And I read it in a day and the audiobook was amazing! 🎉 oh and I liked belladonna. It is repetitive but I liked it. Listened to the audiobook at 2x speed tho bc it is crazy slow.

[@rachelo75]

I also tried Belladonna but DNFed for the exact reason you just described about the tropey YA romance... I wanted the ghosts, death as a character, and gothic vibes, but the dynamic between Signa and Sylas put me off.🙁

[@bykensie]

Thank you for this channel. U are my favorite. I just have your same taste in books ❤

[@kallixtoff]

Hey ! I'm currently reading Belladonna and this is a very good book :p

Have you read Garlic and the Witch or Garlic and the Vampire? I finished them few days ago. So so cute and cozy. It gave me fall vibes.. Although it's not really happening in fall I think... Maybe... 😅
