Ghost Stream: Where Death Goes Live by Lucas Han The suspenseful plot development keep me glued to every page. Each chapter ends with cliffhangers that make me desperate to know what happens next.recommend

You know how much I love Dixon, Descending! And I can talk about Little Rot all day

Just placed so many library holds!

A buddy read would be so fun on StoryGraph! I love that feature, but only used it once in 2024.

I'm on my third and last book that had a firm deadline at the library this month and then I hope to go back to reading by whim. I'm in the middle of The Last Party by Claire Mackintosh I'm working on her backlist right now. I just received my preordered copy of The Favorites today so this is what I'm most looking forward to starting next. I also ordered One of the Good Guys as per your recommendation (needed to get that free shipping!). Seeing you pick with the help of Storygraph was fun. I am using their app as I love their stats feature.

A buddy read on StoryGraph would be so fun! 🤩

Your timing with this video was perfect for me as I just started using Storygraph this past week. I had signed up and imported my Goodreads library a long time ago, but then never used it. This time, I am doing it differently and I’m so excited. I deleted my whole library and started fresh. Now I will use Goodreads to track everything I read (including all the books I read to my son) and I will still use Goodreads (mainly) to track my TBR because I have loads of shelves set up there. But now I can use Storygraph to track just the books that I would count towards my reading goals (no picture books and such). This will give me clear stats on my personal reading and goals! I look forward to listening to your podcast episode about this. I’m also now wondering if Storygraph would work better than Discord for book clubs. . . . As I like the way Storygraph is set up so much more).

Great vlog! I'm a new subscriber enjoying all your reviews. I've used StoryGraph for 2 years but haven't used newest features yet. Will explore them soon. Thanks for sharing your experience on StoryGraph with your audience. I read Mad Honey and really liked it. When you mentioned pairing it with a non fiction, I thought you were going to pair with "honey" or "bees." I immediately thought of The Honey Bus by Meredith May which taught me so much about bees and I was captivated by Meredith's journey and rated it 5 stars. Mentioning it in case you are ever in the mood for something like that.

I love the Storygraph. I moved over from Goodreads a few months ago specifically for the content warnings. I was going through something and needed to avoid a specific topic. I am so grateful. I would love to do a buddy read! I agree some of the navigation is confusing, but I find it well worth it for the features. And I bet they will continue to improve the UI.

Yes, yes, yes! Would love to try the buddy read feature with a BTE group.

I loved Mad Honey! My daughter is transgender! I hope this book helps to create a safer more inclusive world for my sweet shy daughter! I fear for her safety! I love her so much! 🥰 Thank you for talking about it!!

Have you listened to Jodi Comer performing Prima Facie. She performed this on stage as a one woman play. Two hours every night on stage in London and New York. She is brilliant with a brilliant story. I listened on Audible, don’t know if it’s elsewhere.

One thing about the favorites that I’m surprised no one is talking about is that it is a wuthering heights retelling (even down to the character names so I don’t think it’s unintentional)

I got used to audiobooks a number of years ago through Audible while I was driving and walking on the treadmill. I love it and have never looked back!

My “Want to Read” list just grew! Thanks!

I am a night auditor, so I work alone or with 1 other person overnight in a tiny office, I work crunching numbers for 7 or 8 hours straight. I finish an audiobook in 2 or 3 days, I also commute 45 minutes each way. Audiobooks are my best friend, and also a really nice pair of headphones (mine are Sony WH something or other) Libby is my absolute favorite app for getting my audiobooks. I project maybe 150 to 200 audiobooks this year due to my ability to listen to so much at work.

I enjoyed the Hunger Games trilogy too, but felt very let down by the prequel published a couple of years ago. (Curious to know what you thought about it?). Nonetheless, I am definitely interested in hearing Haymitch's story, as he was an important and intriguing character in the original series. I plan to preorder this one and I'm hoping I'll like it.

I had to rewind to make sure I saw the right book flash on the screen 😂

Taffy Brodesser-Akner, Shari Lapena and Ashley Audorain are my auto read authors

Yes! More videos like this one please!

"This book is about a woman who...."

I am so happy you’re on RUclips! You give some of the best book content being created right now. 🎉🎉

Never stop thinking about your book. Imagine yourself in it Just go crazy with your thoughts That makes sure I follow through with books.

Emotional manipulation. Yes please !

TBR explosion! Thanks for highlighting so many that sound amazing

Most of these are on my TBR! I can't wait! ☺

I just found you and am so happy. These are the books I gravitate to. I appreciate you explaining the difference of a mystery , thriller , and suspense. I love suspense. I need something that will keep me deeply invested in the story. I get bored easily if there are too many slow , dragged out parts. I wrote down quite a bit of what you suggested. A lot of the authors I never heard of. Thanks for helping me to expand my reading options

Love this! If Jon is still editing for you, please tell him bravo! The special effect sounds are great! And of course, I love watching all your videos.

Fantastic video, great recommendations and very thorough explanations about the books and audio experiences!!

I am a mood reader too! I mostly read thrillers, mystery and suspense but if I get in a reading slump, reading a memoir or some genre I don't normally, helps me get out of the slump!

I have looked at Percival Everett’s backlist and will probably try several. I’ll be interested to hear what you try! My year was strange. I read more than I ever have. But I also read a lot of “meh” books and fewer 5⭐️ reads than years before. I’ve already read 2 5⭐️reads this year, so hoping for an overall better year.

I have always had this be true for me… until this fall. I always read multiple books at a time (we’ll say from 3-15 if you count books I’m reading aloud to my son and some of them are short story collections, books of poetry, maybe a cookbook with essays, etc. as well as regular fiction and nonfiction and including audiobooks as well as the old-fashioned paper kind). But starting in November I went through a time when multiple major stressors were hitting all at once and while I never stopped reading I read so, so much less. I am just coming out of it now, but I honestly thought I was immune to reading slumps because reading is one way that I deal with stress, but the high levels of anxiety I was experiencing made it very hard to concentrate or enjoy reading in any format.

I agree - sometimes the hardest part is deciding what to start. I am in a mini slump now bc I have DNFd several books recently. My tip is the opposite in this scenario: Take a 1 or 2 day break from reading to recover from the frustration.

ME TOO! ……”just completed ‘Listen For The Lie’ …..January Lavoy played Lucy so smartly and as a ‘Mema’ myself who wouldn’t want to fall into her Grandmother’s arms for some of the only honest familial support she could feel she could trust……You are SPOT ON that the-over-the shoulder Voices are not easy to pull off…. But Ms. Lavoy’s timing made me a believer….

Loved this!! I agree with so many and found new books to check out! Thank you!!

I found your channel through your top audiobooks video, and if that video didn’t confirm that you are my book soulmate, the fact that you have a TBR spreadsheet definitely confirmed it! I am a spreadsheet girlie and would LOVE a video that breaks down what you track and how your spreadsheet looks 🤓 #showmeyourspreadsheet

Just started first lie wins.Other book reviewers have given it.Bad reviews or said it was just OK, but I'm glad that you like it because I've been enjoying it so far so good.I'm not turned off,

Tina, I skipped my BOTM picks this month because I wasnt sure any of them really sounded like anything Id be interested in. However, after hearing your review of "The Favorites,"I quickly unskipped it and selected "The Favorites" as my BOTM selection this month! Can't wait for my BOTM box to arrive now! Thanks for the great job recommending it! You sold me! 🤓📚

ENERGY….VULNERABLE….Speaks with an Honest Voice….New to Me Young’Friend’ from this 74 Year Old Happy Ager who relies on professionals such as yourself to keep me abreast of what is on the cusp as well as in the past I may have missed…..loved the “dual authors” writers as a great newish concept….ps…. You remind me of students in my high school history classes …vibrant….happy and yet a bit of an old soul willing to share

I suggest listening to the audio books for Foster, and Small Things Like These. They are written by Claire Keegan. Both are only about 2 hours long but they are truly beautiful.

I listen to the Paper Place … I liked it .

If you enjoyed Listen For the Lie you may also enjoy A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. It has a similar format in terms of podcast interviews.

I would love a horror video and would love if you have recommendations for people who have stayed away from the genre because they don't like being too scared 😅Like if you could incorporate some type of scariness ranking to help newbies to the horror genre ease in - that would be amazing :)

I really have been enjoying your videos. Just wanted to let you know I think you double talked about The Favorites or maybe an editing error. Anyways the video was still great and I really enjoy your content! Thank you!

Would love to see a horror video!

I just preordered The Favorites yesterday and should receive it next week so I'm excited to hear about how much you enjoyed it. Can't wait to read this one. I finished The Escape Room by Megan Goldin yesterday and even though it was a propulsive read, there was very little escape room to this thriller so the title was misleading. I'm 2/3 done with The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon (on audio) and this one is really good. Might be a favorite. I like the voice of the narrator and I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying it considering I don't usually read much historical fiction.

So happy I found yourchannel❤

Just found your channel and I like the way you describe books and the diverse selections!

Tina I’m so glad you decided to vlog on RUclips otherwise I may not have found you. Love your content. My reading choices are similar to yours. I’ve subscribed and have added to my tbr 🙌🏼😊📖📚

The Favorites sounds so good. I’m definitely going to get the audiobook from my library. Thanks. I also enjoy seeing new releases. I’m not on IG or TT so appreciate when you post those here as well. Great video. Thanks.
