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

[@RandomLuv193]

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

[@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 🙃

[@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 🤭

[@moonelysian77]

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

[@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

[@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

[@mossvibes]

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

[@tastethefluffmarshmallow9770]

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

[@zxshd]

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

[@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]

[@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

[@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 🥺🥺🥺

[@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.

[@jjamieallover]

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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@CalliesBookShelfx]

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

[@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!!

[@juliafrances454]

the puzzle section in the middle with a rating was perfect

[@geotechlady]

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

[@fae7y]

Babe wakeup, lexi posted!!!!

[@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

[@Dasiah_Gaming]

I really like Freida McFadden her twist are shocking yet cheesy but not horrible but her writing is addicting

[@2021YOLO]

0:19 "Just girly things" Someone is for sure currently picking the lock on my front door

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@DaisygoesCrazy]

your videos are so comforting

[@kylierussell0207]

I read Pretty Girls SO long ago. I don’t know like maybe 8-9 years ago and am STILL traumatized.

[@Spicy.Literature]

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

[@beccac6812]

19:17 : tell me you have ADHD without telling me you have ADHD : we love a hyperfocus moment I also love how open you are about it and your mental health as well ❤

[@Mdoorty130]

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

[@seekerxr]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@xglosis]

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

[@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

[@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]

[@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

[@olliereadss]

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

[@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)!

[@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?

[@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

[@sarahkarineknits]

i loved in my dreams i hold a knife and i looked up the author and if i recall she has published romance prior to this which just felt *right* considering the passage you read and the general *relationship drama* in the book.

[@scliffbartoni9771]

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

[@kristenbaker6579]

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

[@johnsmithking]

“No feet in the frame” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@hasntdevelopedobjectpermenance]

loving the random puzzle review intermission

[@bree6722]

i am a very fearful person and will likely not be reading any of these but i could watch any video you made, explaining literally anything, for hours. like you could read an accounting textbook out loud and i would listen to the whole thing

[@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.

[@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 💯

[@sjjuanita]

Keep reading more thrillers love this breakdown

[@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!

[@pretzel_salt]

Your channel is my new comfort food

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!!

[@dreamywillow8664]

Onix is such a sweetheart 😭💖

[@lilymarvin2379]

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

[@Somerandomlamp]

That puzzle company is one of my favorites!

[@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 😅

[@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

[@mychaoticshelf]

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

[@katiekaboom7747]

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

[@hotdogkristian]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@faetriplett8054]

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

[@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]

[@valerikozarev5889]

My new favorite booktuber!

[@biancalazaro9531]

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

[@sweetmessie]

you’re so fun to watch ❤

[@i.7525]

the way i picked up in my dreams i hold a knife from the library for a reading slump, but ended up reading truly devious instead and disliking it a lot 😭

[@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.

[@sierrareed11]

Loved this! The graph was amazing haha

[@yassminezaki9564]

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

[@digital.denise]

Batshitosity!!! Scientific ratings, amazing

[@newlynova]

[@briwitchedd]

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

[@hotla7]

The chart was everything

[@daniellezube1536]

Just finished pretty girls and my brain will never be the same

[@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
