Warm Hands of Ghosts | Reaction & Review
"Reading by Myshelf" 😂 Clever title!
I am appalled that I didn’t know you started a channel!! This makes me so happy!! 🎉🎉
Wait I might have been subscribed already, but I’m excited all over again then LMAO
@@RekindledReader haha! I have had to put a hold on videos actually! We are moving and having to prepare a house for sale and move haven’t left me much time to read. May vlog some of it eventually when it gets more exciting 🤗
Great list! Looking forward to Resting Place that sounds really interesting! Are you from Philly or Baltimore or something? I live in NC but I’m from Philly originally and I instantly subscribed because your accent sounds like home 😂. Thanks for the recommendations 👍👍
@@benjaminwyatt3778 Yes! Baltimore originally. Now in SC.
@@reading_by_myshelf nice! I knew it! Well we’ve been loving it down here but boy do I miss those northeast fall vibes, and the food! Have an awesome week ❤️
I made a list of the books cuz 1 that's exactly what I wanted, and 2 so if we viewers want to come back, we don't have to watch the whole video just to figure out which we was wanted to read or recommend next 🙃 Book 1 Summer of Nights by Dan Simmons Book 2 The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty Book 3 The good House by Tananarive Due Book 4 Pet Sematary by Stephen King Book 5 I am Legend by Richard Matheson Book 6 Sour Candy by Kealan Patrick Burke Book 7 The Resting Place by Camilla Sten Book 8 Ghost Story by Peter Straub Book 9 Hell House by Richard Matheson Book 10 Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt
i love your channel name, thats so clever :3
@@jewelbaby9310 thank you 😊
The uhm/uh count legendary
😂😂😂😂
I read City of Thieves years ago. I don't remember much about it, other than that I liked it. I have The Bone Clocks waiting to be read on my bookshelf. And right now, I too am reading a short easy-to-read book called The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
I have heard that is an excellent book. Hope you love it!
Wow what an honor this was so awesome. I would say if you want the full story Mitchell is building start with 1000 Autumns. This made my day thanks! A 5 and a 4 I will take that!
They were so good!!
@@reading_by_myshelf so happy to hear that. I started watching pretty nervous😂
@@Talking_Story hahahaha! CoT was so emotional 🥹
❤
I'm in the middle of 9 exercise resistance circuits Today I had cereal Tacos I make Pasta dish This evening I'll have fish I do 2 cardio sessions and a workout session My goal is to build muscle my goal is to look similar to zelina vega I've had a couple of enhancements on my chest already and I'm 136ibs I'm 5ft 5 You look well hun loved your video you've given me some ideas so far .. I get bored with food easily Omg I'd finish that entire jar of Nutella with a spoon I'm awful.. I see Nutella in the store and I'm like not today Satan lol
Love it! Yes, nut butters are a weakness for sure hahaha! Keep it up!!
@@reading_by_myshelf Awww thank you so much.. We all have our arch nemesis's (not even sure if that's a word sounds funny when I say it 😂) big ditto chica vamos!!! 💪💃🔥 I'm still listening to the book you suggested called the warm hands of ghosts.. Its defo made time fly I'm about 2 thirds the way through it.. Amazing book and great narrators Have a wonderful day.. Off I go again.. No rest for the wicked weeee lol
Hazel ❤& Bear ❤ty for sharing Cuz❤
Great list. Pleasure to hear some titles I’m unfamiliar with and now need to Kindlize. Yes, I made up a Kindle verb. The Resting Place sounds uber intriguing; starting with that one. Thank you.
@@davidp4864 🎉 love to know what you think of it!
I like Hunts-men/Hunts-women. The John Gwynne Faithful and the Fallen and Of Blood and Bone series really show how important they are to tat kind of setting.
@@Jager71 me too!
There are two books that are damn near unreadably scary. The Killing Lessons by Saul Black and “Adam” by Ted Dekker.
@@kevinjones4808 oooooh looking them up now!
Was considering Looking Glass Sound this October. Also, yes, the humidity in Houston is a joke right now. Even more than usual!
It’s been one hell of a summer so far.
Appreciate your reviews! Planning on reading People We Meet on Vacation, excited to see your thoughts on it!
Thank you! I hope I love it.
Alien Clay: I hope the library gets a copy soon. Service Model is the best standalone Adrian Tchaikovsky has written so far.
He is a fantastic author.
Because you read 'The Magician,' do you suppose you might read 'The Magic Mountain' by Thomas Mann? I hear that it is a monumental book. I know nothing about it - but my interest is most definitely piqued. I found it in a used bookstore and immediately snatched it up, to (hopefully) be read at some later undetermined date.
Yes, after I finished the book I looked up his work and have since ordered Magic Mountain. In The Magician, there is a chapter where they are at the tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps. If you read it before me, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Are you rating the books out of 10 or 5?
Out of 5
I've been revisiting all the Kick-Ass books from Robert m McCammon.. I was reading that stuff along with King starting in the 8th grade back in the late 80s. Highly recommend Swan Song, They Thirst, his short story collection called the Blue World, and I just finished Stinger.. he was right there with King for me growing up.. also any of the work by author Brian Keene!
I was too young to see the movie when it came out so I read the book instead which was the first book I ever read. I was 11😮
@@Hughenn love that! 👹
Sad that the book store looks so empty
The atmosphere that Simmons creates in Song of Kali is terrifying and I loved every second of it!
I can't freaking wait!
Love that you started a book club! Makes me wish I wasn’t scared to read horror 😂
Hahahahaha! That's the fun it...only read in broad daylight. 😂
Hello Cuz 📚 👓Started reading Songs of Kali 😊📚
@@heatherdawnedwards128 you did?! Awesome! I haven’t started yet!
The Gentlemen Bastards series is my favorite series! I don't read much fantasy anymore, but the world building is amazing, and all of the characters have a purpose and personality. I need to reread it before the fourth one comed out. I do not like what they did to the Red Seas Under Red Skies cover! The cover is the whole reason I started reading this series. I accidentally bought it first, then realized it was a series.
I have heard this a lot. I need to read it soon. Thanks for the input!!!
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on City of Thieves. I want that BB set of Gentlemen Bastards so bad. Awesome haul!
Hoping to start it after Disquiet Gods. 😋
I just finished The Fisherman It had a novella inside of it and I think that ruined it It was too long and drawn out - it could have been good
ugh, I hate that.
Try reading the late author Irving Stone’s epic biographical novel about renaissance artist Michelangelo entitled The Agony And The Ecstasy. It is hugely fascinating and worth every penny
Interesting! I will look it up. Thanks!
I hope you like This Thing Between Us when you get it! If you ever want to try a different Robert McCammon, Speaks the Nightbird is one of my favorite horror novels. It's about a magistrate and his apprentice (?) going to a small village to try a woman accused of witchcraft. The characters are really fleshed out and a lot of weird things happen to people in the village. As for John Saul, I would definitely recommend one of his earlier works, but Comes the Blind Fury is definitely my favorite of his
Thank you!!! I actually own Speaks a Night Bird….haven’t read it yet. Did know it was horror!
Sour Candy was really good ! Kin by the same author is good too.
I’ll have to find that one…loved Sour Candy.
Best book I've read this year: The Trials of Empire (Richard Swan).Probably the best trilogy I've ever read. 2nd best: Strange Sally Diamond (Liz Nugent). Audiobook. Deeeeeply disturbing. Worst: Annie Bot was so bad it took the #1 and #2 spot. Looking forward to: Don't Let the Forest In (C.G. Drews) and The City and Its Uncertain Walls (Haruki Murakami). Alien Clay. I hear it's like Cage of Souls (which I loved), but I'll wait for your review before I decide to pick it up. Love the channel.
Ooooh never heard of Strange Sally Diamond. Will have to go look it up!! Thanks so much!!
Don't know if it's horror exactly but Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage is pretty disturbing.
Wow that sounds disturbing! Added to my list! Thanks.
Great front half of the year. Yeah you may be cheating a little bit 😂.
Hahaha! 😂
Drusas in the library!
Yassssssssssss!
I have not read any of these but Love and other words is on my TBR and you definitely make me want to read the sun eater series!!
I love it so much. Is it obvious? hahaha
Haven’t read that one but I read a ton of Saul when I was a teen! Nathanael looks interesting🤔
Thanks for your honest review! You sound like a friend who gives their real opinion on a book rather than a critic trying to sound all academic. I like knowing how a book leaves people feeling! I’ll be interested to see what others have to say about this book in particular as I have not yet read it.
Thank you!
The grandfathers of horror are Poe and Lovecraft. Everyone else writes in their shadows.
I prefer the love interests in books to be either cinnamon rolls or "tough on the outside, sweet and caring on the inside." I like my spicy scenes spicy but with clear consent.
That 1 has been on my list. I liked the Last House on Needless Street.
She’s a talented author!
Have you red The Elementals by Michael McDowell? Superb
Yes! I read it years ago….it was excellent
3.49 on GR's and where people at that site would hand out 5 stars to a book with blank pages from their favorite author, that's a low score. Love the content.
Thanks!
Michael McDowell, Dan Simmons, and Robert McCammon are my favorite horror genre writers. Ok so Simmons and McCammon write in other genre’s than horror but nonetheless they’re all my favorites. Try The Amulet, Blackwater,or The Elementals by McDowell if you want an underrated horror author.
I read The Elementals years ago and very much enjoyed it!! Thanks!!!
The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker deserves a mention here, along with At The Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft. And for those who've never read it, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House is one of the best in the genre of psychological horror.
I Am Legend is my favorite book! I read it once a year!
Love that!
The book I absolutely hate that other people seem to love is A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. I had to force myself to finish it. This is one of those books where the writing is amazing. The word usage is phenomenal but the main character, Ignatius J. Reilly, is such a despicable person that you just can't like him. He is *too* unlikeable. There are a few side characters that probably should have been left out and the book cut down at least 100-150 pages. I made myself finish it hoping that there was a point to the book but there wasn't.
That is the worst!
The Dark. By James Herbert is to me the scariest book in horror.
Love it! Adding to tbr.
Try christopher pike & H.P. Lovecraft.
I totally thought this said the “cheapest” horror books. 😂
😂😂😂
