Watching him starting to breathe faster and slightly panic because of the book is so relatable.

[@wdwoolard0722]

Your facial expressions and roller-coaster emotions are hilarious!!! Such fun to watch!!

[@aubreyf1005]

the spooky music made this video that much better, love it!!!

[@iangubeli]

Thank you! It took days to find the right music for this project.

[@heatherjohnson5531]

It was great to watch someone else read Hidden Pictures. All of your reactions made me smile. If you want one with twists and cliffhangers at the end of each chapter, you should read “The One” by John Marrs.

[@iangubeli]

Holy crap that books sounds good! Just read the synopsis on Goodreads! New addition to the TBR! Thank you!!

[@enriquesanchez9016]

The One is not actually a thriller though.

[@JoelPelletier-z3l]

Heck yea ANOTHER VIDEOOOOOOO!!!! You love to see it . Right in time for spooky season . Love the spooky vibes . Always a pleasure to see you doing your thing Ian . Much love brother ❤

[@iangubeli]

Much love my man!! Hope you’re doing well! Always glad to see your comments!!

[@kathleenwhowell5731]

Love the music in the background so scary. Hope all your books keep you intrigued. Tfs happy reading

[@iangubeli]

Thank you!! I hope the same for you!!

[@AbhisekPoAspirant]

The intimate reading associates is epic 😂😂

[@mpe553]

Hidden Pictures is what got me into horror/thriller vibes! I absolutely loved that book! I can’t recommend it enough! The plot twist and pictures were CRAZY!!!

[@faithi717]

Rock Paper Scissors has been one of my favorite reads (if not my favorite read) of this year! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@iangubeli]

It’s so good! I still can’t stop thinking about aspects of that book!

[@AmandasBooktopia]

I’m so glad you enjoyed Hidden Pictures! I had so much fun with it and it was a wild ride. I went ahead and downloaded Dark Matter and Rock, Paper, Scissors so I can listen to the audiobooks. The way you talked about them made me want to read them too. And I hope you and Ashlynn had a great anniversary together!

[@iangubeli]

Thank you so much!! We had a fun time! And you won’t regret those books! Solid solid reads!!

[@Jeanette_Medina]

Happy anniversary to you and Ashlynn! And many, many blessings and prayers for many more years full of happy moments and memories.

[@iangubeli]

Thank you so much!! Been an incredible two years married (almost seven together) with that little lady!!

[@FictionAddictions]

I read Hidden Pictures in a vlog we posted last month. That book was SO crazy! I didn't have Dark Matter on my radar, but now I do. You have convinced me.

[@iangubeli]

You won’t regret it!! It’s so so good!

[@joalgustas6498]

Okay can we talk about the awesome soundtrack, and how at 4:03, the lights behind you look like evil eyes watching you read from behind? So perfect LOL…Happy Anniversary to such a great, sweet, funny and charming couple!! You guys are SO LOVED!!…oh and HECK YEAH!! It’s Ian time!! Miss you friend!!

[@iangubeli]

I rewatched up to that time stamp and you’re not kidding😂 and thank you!! Ash and I had a great time!! And yes, it’s been too long since I posted. But I am back for good!!!

[@joalgustas6498]

@@iangubeli like I said before, life be life-ing! All of my fave BookTubers have taken breaks, long, short, vacation, mental health breaks, whatever. You and Ashlynn do what you need to do to be happy and take care of yourselves. Not only that, but it’s YOUR damn channels, nobody elses. You guys still make me want to start my own channel…maybe after the holidays. Finally, been waiting to chat with ya about this-FINALLY finished “The Stand” last week. And I’ll probably have people making my image into voodoo dollars after this, lol, but I LIKED it, didn’t love it. It had a major plot hole over something for me, and I felt the ending was tied up too fast. Which, as it was the extended version, I’m sure Sai King was like “Please, Lord take the wheel, pen, typewriter,” and was just thrilled to be done with it. I gave the plot three stars, the characters though-10 put of 5! I loved me some Trashy and Tom Cullen lol

[@iangubeli]

@@joalgustas6498 this means so much, thank you!! You’re incredible!!!

This time of year just sucks any reading motivation out of me. These videos really help, I often read as I watch these and feel like i have a reader friend : )

That is so sweet!! Glad this video could help. Reading slumps stink.

Thank you so much!! What’s coming up is going to be so fun!!

[@graceannreads]

Rock Paper Scissors is one of my favorite books of all time and watching you reading it is everything I needed today 🙏🏼🤌🏻

[@iangubeli]

Awww thank you!! That book was such a pleasant surprise. It was everything I wanted in my first adult thriller novel!

[@jamgart6880]

Love the music choices.. very suspenseful! Very fitting 😁

[@tessib.1043]

Your expressions while you’re reading! Love it. I am going to start Hidden Figures now. I am so intrigued. Thank you for another great vlog! ❤❤

[@iangubeli]

Thank you so much!!! It’s such a pleasure posting for amazing people as yourself! Hidden Pictures is insane! You’re going to love it!!

[@Rash23215]

Hidden Figures is an Amazing movie..... Taraji is great in it

[@DuaneL82]

Watching these videos for the first time as I just got back into reading after a long hiatus. Its funny I never realized how deep we as humans breathe when reading 😆 its on every booktubers channel so just something I never realized until it was recorded

[@sunshine_6432]

Rock paper scissors was so amazing. Not many thriller can get to me. But it was one of very few of them Also Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney was such a great thriller too. You may get attached to characters which is rare in a thirller book.

[@dianaisme]

I enjoyed Dark Matter so much. Weird thing I added it on my tbr and a few days later I found it at the thriftstore. So I had to buy it and read it duh! AND IT GAVE ME NIGHTMARES !

[@iangubeli]

It did!?!? I could see where it would give people nightmares! It’s intense!

[@dianaisme]

​@@iangubeli😂😅 I might also be a tad bit sensitive but yeah

[@Lemonnn2505]

Found your channel earlier this week & have been working my way through all your vids…safe to say my list of books I wants has doubled since then…🤭

[@FrenchBehindScreens]

Best reading vlog ever on youtube, with that spooky music, I was looking behind you ...to the window as you were reading 😂😂😂😂

[@KcannyTBO]

So fun to watch your reactions to these books, I have Dark Matter in my TBR and really hope I can squeeze it in soon. As I mentioned in Ash's video when she read Rock, Paper, Scissors, I'd like to recommend you read Daisy Darker also by that author, I had a blast with it 😊

[@iangubeli]

That is now added to my list, so thank you!! And Dark Matter….SUCH A GOOD BOOK!! It exceeded my expectations!

[@checkplz6626]

Great soundtrack! Scary!

[@PawsandClawsPetTraining]

I just read Dark Matter for the first time recently. I finished it at my Silent Book Club and convinced 5 people to buy the book on the spot. It was a 5 star read and I would not have picked it up if it wasn’t for Ash and Ian. Ian, thank you so much for telling me about this book! It broke my brain in the best of ways! I just finished the Apple TV series and I would say it’s about 60% accurate to the book. They added a lot of extra stuff, but I still really liked it. I highly recommend if you haven’t seen it!

[@lifebooksandeverything]

Whoo hooo! New video! Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn is not only my favourite thriller, but also one of my favourite books of all time in general. Can highly recommend! Hope you're doing well dude and don't let the channel stress you out, post what you want and when you want- we'll be here!

[@iangubeli]

That means a lot, truly! Thank you so much! And thank you for the new thriller rec. I will be checking that out soon!

[@satchel1300]

Dark Matter is one of my favorite books of all time, I just about read that cover to cover. I was glad to see your reaction, and that you enjoyed it as well! I also really enjoy his other novel, Recursion, although people don't seem to like that one as much.

[@sasapejcin3568]

Nothing better than a messed-up. crazy, twisty psychological thriller!🤪

[@iangubeli]

Too true!! They’re so much fun to read!

[@tc8404]

I finished Paper Rock Scissors because of your review, I really liked it, had to keep picking it up every chance I could, thank you. And I had already read Dark Matter and Hidden Pictures, loved them both. Great video Ian!

[@kirstycooper6131]

I'm currently in the midst of reading Hidden Pictures, and I absolutely loved watching your reactions! I look forward to your next upload. Take care guys x

[@iangubeli]

Thank you so much!! You take care as well! I hope you love Hidden Pictures!!

[@cristinejoy3041]

Now, you have convinced me to read Dark Matter!

[@iangubeli]

You won’t regret it!

[@kimberlyrosado2356]

I liked your video before I even watched it. Always good.

[@taragardner9042]

I saw *the* blooper on Ashlynn's video before watching yours, super happy it was included in her thriller vlog too! I loved Hidden Pictures! Did NOT see that twist coming! But I'm also really awful at guessing how thrillers will end! I recommend The Only One Left by Riley Sager!!

[@iangubeli]

I was so happy she left that in there! That made the two videos go well together. I have definitely added Riley Sager books to the TBR! Very excited!

[@GabrielTheMagolorMain]

Appreciate all your reactions! I’d recommend The Nothing Man by Catherine Ryan Howard, just check the synopsis, unique premise.

[@iangubeli]

Just added that to the TBR! Thank you!!

[@heatherruiz9490]

Awesome creepy soundtrack with this one!! I read Rock, Paper, Scissors a couple of months ago, and it kept me reading, but in the end, I still hated all the characters in it. I think there were too many obvious holes and too many twists for me to give it a decent rating. I'm looking forward to reading Dark Matter soon because I've read a lot of his other works and highly recommend his Wayward Pines series. And now I need to check out Hidden Pictures as it sounds like it right up my alley! 😊 Ty!

[@DuaneL82]

That Ashlyn Caylee channel is amazing as is this one. Whoever her husband is hit the lottery 😉. You two have quickly become my 2 fav people to watch and so happy you found each other if ever their was a perfect match its you two.

[@Kittyzero13426]

Enjoyable reading vlog. I have to try thrillers again another season cause I couldn't get into any of them but enjoyed some mystery ones.

[@iangubeli]

Thrillers are definitely a mood read I have discovered. It’s a lot always reading something that intense all the time!

[@davidsarup3245]

Super awesome that you linked the music :-) Love your videos :-)

[@ybell10]

what a great video! make me laugh a few times for sure!

[@sasapejcin3568]

Rock paper scissors is so good! Her other books are also good and even darker!

[@nicolejohn5407]

So excited for the new video! I hope you'll read house across the lake by Riley sager soon. I couldn't put it down, I read it 3 days which was a first for me!

[@iangubeli]

I will be reading that one soon for a fun blog coming up!!

[@thekhameleonreadsbooks]

Hidden Pictures is one of my favorite horror/thrillers. Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely check out The Only One Left by Riley Sager, The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D Jackson (Carrie retelling), and The Last Word by Taylor Adams.

[@iangubeli]

Thank you! All of these sounds amazing! Thank you for helping expand the TBR!!!

[@thekhameleonreadsbooks]

@@iangubeli You're welcome!

[@katmancilla5777]

The chestnut man by Soren sviestrop is sooo good. Was a 4.5 for me. I listened to the audiobook a few years ago and immediately had to buy the physical copy so that I could keep it forever.

[@queenkim8631]

New Subscriber😁 I love the way you edit! Will be adding Rock, Paper, Scissors to my tbr since you and your wife liked it!

Thank you so much!! And YES!! Dark Matter was insane! It’s a must read, I am telling you!!

Looking forward to picking up these !!

I loved the music!!!!

[@cari_iii]

dark matter has been on my list for a while, this made me want to drop everything and read it now!

[@iangubeli]

It’s so freaking good!!!

[@HannahJ.isreading]

Love you and your wife's channels! They're always so good. 😍😍 For thrillers, you have to read "The Only One Left" by Riley Sager. It was wild.

[@iangubeli]

Sager is an author I cannot wait to read! You and so many others have encouraged me to just read his books! Thank you!!

[@dianaisme]

Wait I forgot how good Dark Matter is, it had such a grip on me. I'm so happy you read and loved it !

[@openlybookish]

Your facial expressions pair perfectly with the music you chose. 😂

[@sjthorn]

Hidden Pictures has been on my TBR for so long lol, yet I never seem to get to it. As I said on the video where Ashlynn read Dark Matter, I wish I'd heard your summary of it before I read it. I already knew the twist and didn't realize that it was supposed to be a twist until halfway through the book. I think I'd have liked it so much better not knowing, though admittedly spoilers are not usually an issue for me. Love your energy and your videos, definitely subscribing.

[@iangubeli]

I hate it when I know the twist (or guess) it prematurely. I don’t whether it’s just poor writing on the authors part, or my brain just trying to be twenty steps ahead because it thinks it’s smart😂

[@ErinS58]

Love Love the music!

[@elisabethprice4697]

yay your back!!! I feel like its been a while!

[@iangubeli]

It’s been too long!

[@bby.kaylamarie]

I definitely recommend behind her eyes by Sarah Pinborough! Had my jaw on the floor!!! They also mad a mini series for it which is also great to watch after.

[@bby.kaylamarie]

Also wanted to say loved the soundtrack and how you showed you reactions through out not a lot of booktubers do this😊

[@iangubeli]

Just added that to the TBR!! Thank you so much! The plot sounds really good!

[@iangubeli]

Thank you!! The music took days to flesh out. And I am happy the reactions were enjoyed. I didn’t want to just give aimless commentary between boring montages!

Just found your channel and binged a few. I’ve agreed with your ratings/comments for the ones I’ve seen so far (LOTR, GOT, Atlas Shrugged, Fahrenheit 451, HP series). Of the three on this video, I’ve only read ‘Hidden Pictures’ and this is the first time I slightly disagree with you. I thought a lot of it was boring and would have rated it a little bit lower. But I do also hate the whole miscommunication thing in books and agree that that side plot wasn’t necessary.

[@life_of_wine_and_books]

Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware blew my mind! I think you'd love it.

Awesome vlog‼️🎃👻 I am finishing a romance series and a dark romance series and I can’t wait to get back and read Morning Star because romance is not my genre. But I hopefully I will get into one of these thriller books that you have chosen because o have expanded my reading through your recommendations. Also I finished reading Narnia series and it was good I didn’t like the ending but my favourite books of this series are definitely the ones that are also film adaptations and the Magician’s Nephew was amazing and I loved how that shows you how it started 😊‼️ thank you for that recommendation.

Hey it was my pleasure!! Narnia is classic. I cannot wait to hear what you think of Morning Star!! It’s so epic and big and amazing!!

I love this.... can we get another one of these in October? Have you considered reading "Between Two Fires" by Christopher Buehlman, great horror/Thriller

[@paperbacksandponytails]

I need to read more thrillers, it's been an age since I've read any. Bird Box and the sequel Malory by Josh Malerman are quite interesting and I enjoyed them both. Also The Vanishing At Castle Moreau by Jaime Jo Wright kept me on the edge of my seat.

The final twist, the murderer, was the last person I suspected. I highly recommend it. I also recommend The Burning Girls by C.J. Tudor.

Anyway, hope you enjoy His and Hers when you get a chance to check it out. 😊❤️

[@ONANDON-u4z]

I enjoy reading books too! Although I am not satisfied with the translated editions, I am not proficient enough to read English-edition books on my own. With the help of the web extension Immersive Translate, I can grasp the basic meaning of the passages. I hope I can get closer to these intriguing books.

[@Colty1]

What do you listen to while you read? I’ve heard white noise helps focus.

Dark Matter is my favorite Crouch book, it is intense & has a little science but not too much His other books are similar but get to be a little heavier on the science talk (Forgot I have not read Wayward Pines series yet)

[@iangubeli]

I have wanted to read Wayward Pines for a long time! He does seem (on the surface) that he is a man in STEM. His books just give that feeling off.

[@sardonisms]

This is an odd rec, but since you like horror and you've tried branching out to YA before, have you tried THE GIRL FROM THE WELL by Rin Chupeco? It's a very good YA horror ghost story type book. I like it a lot.

I couldn't stand Rock Paper Scissors. A common theme with psych thriller writers is the hint at the supernatural and there never actually is anything supernatural going on at all. At least Hidden Pictures owned the supernatural element and went with it. I love Blake Crouch, you should read ALL his books (except Upgrade maybe). Like Wayward Pines was WILD
