the 8 books I read in April! *longest book, romance, thriller*

[@braybooks]

haley is a book role model. and a chess model and a running model, and now apparantly a puzzle model.

[@aleya8483]

I wouldn't say a book role model. She literally reads only fantasy and romance. No other genres. Jack is a book role model!

[@braybooks]

@@aleya8483 dont start hating on haley. she doesnt just read fantasy and romance, have u even watched her vids?

[@aleya8483]

@braybooks I love Hailey, and I've watched all of her videos. Yes, she does, and it's not hate, but facts. Calm down, lol

SPRINT NOW HURRY!

[@sarahlevine2397]

It’s kinda nice to see a big influencer with an aversion to spice. Sometimes I feel so alone when I don’t enjoy popular spicy romances and so it’s refreshing to hear you talk about it. Especially how you mentioned that the connection shouldn’t rely solely on those scenes. Sometimes I feel like some mainstream romances are just mediocre plot to get to the sex scenes and those scenes don’t feel sentimental and intimate, they feel borderline creepy sometimes and often feel like they came out of left field. (Tessa Bailey and Ali Hazelwood I’m looking at you….)

[@yellowhouseport18]

yes agreed!!

[@cozyyblanket]

Can you give som non spicy romanve recs

[@meh5069]

Seriously you’d be (or maybe not) surprised at how much people dislike that I dislike smut lol. People think it’s prudish, and I’m not a prude I just don’t enjoy watching or reading pornography 🤷🏻‍♀️. I loved Sarah j mass books but had to fast forward way too much on the last one. And if I ever buy the physical copies, I will take a sharpie and redact so I can enjoy them lol.

[@nicoleyearsley3452]

When you mentioned spice in books that really resonated with me. I don’t mind if there’s a little that I can skip and not miss any depth of the relationship. That’s why I love Emily Henry so much. She has spice but the characters and relationships are so well developed that I can skim or skip through it and still feel a deep connection between the characters. I started reading Part of Your World this month after hearing so many good reviews but then I had to DNF because the first 40% felt too much like hookup culture to me that I just couldn’t stand it. More and more romance novels have sex being the main attraction between the love interests.

[@aurora-cc6hk]

this is why I only read slow burn. I can't get into sex scenes and feel the emotion unless the characters build their relationship first. its much more satisfying to read the steamy scene with all the nice buildup

Please keep making this monthly reading wrap ups, I really enjoy your reading videos. Haley, YOU are my favourite booktuber EVERRRRR!

[@Male.T.]

The fact that you have Beach Read there in the back feels like a little intentional reminder of the introduction or “debut” element of your reading journey.

[@Lizzy_Garfield]

I kinda agree with spice scenes sometimes, usually I don’t mind them but I need the characters to grovel for like a million pages before anything happens then it just doesn’t seem genuine and feels forced🤷🏼‍♀️

[@emmiedeandean]

Just a heads up- King has a few nonfiction books. Danse Macabre- a look into pop culture of horror. Nightmares in the Sky- stories about flight. He has also written some nonfiction essays.

[@jazia_]

haley. i absolutely recommend “when in rome” and “practice makes perfect” from sarah adams. you already own both of them but haven’t read them, they’re closed door romances and the characters have a lot more depth. the writing is way more eloquent and has improved a ton. please read them.

[@genestacy6723]

7:09 “I’m not all that smart when I’m reading thrillers, I’m just having fun.” Same 8:03 also same! Sometimes I feel bad for rating a book low because of the spice (especially if it got popular because of the spice) but some of my favorite romance novels have spicy scenes, the story just doesn’t depend on it to be good

[@nathanielluscombe5277]

Then She Was Gone also made me feel icky when I finished it. I haven't read another Lisa Jewell yet.

[@sydniewilson5694]

Haley you should do a whole video to reading Nicholas Sparks books! He is one of my favorite authors.( Romance)

Try Fairy Tale as your next King novel! I loved that one so much

[@sophialorraine7779]

The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires gave me the same feeling that Then She Was Gone gave you! An amazing book, but I felt so weird after reading it. I was so freaked out and just felt this pit in my stomach. A good author is one that can evoke emotions though so I loved it!

[@faithi717]

I recently finished Then She Was Gone on audiobook and had the same thoughts as you.

[@Catherine-tp2jp]

I felt the extact same way after reading Then She Was Gone. I really enjoyed the book and I thought the plot and the characters were good and well developed. But I could not shake this feeling of darkness after I read it. Like it felt like such a sinking feel even though the book ended with a somewhat happy ending or as happy of ending as it could have been. It just felt too sad afterwards. And like you said that makes sense because the topics are sad but I have never felt this way after reading any other thriller book like Then She Was Gone. I'm glad I'm not alone with this feeling.

[@Cuentainutilizada2]

i felt the exact same way! it was so unsettling

[@loreleigh]

i need haley to read holly jackson’s a good girls guide to murder series!!

hey Haley! you tried to read ,,These Deadly Games” by Diana Urban? it’s like a mystery thriller 😅. I'm really curious what you think about the book!

By your story the book "Then she was gone" sounds siimilar to a book called "Dear Child" by Romy Hausmann. I'll definetly check that one for sure. Thanks for existing and giving us all these great recommendations
