Gotcha say I miss the fall color book organization in the background it was so pretty!
Yay for having so many 5 star reads!
Oh no Hurricaine Wars, my copy just came in! lol
I hope it works better for you!!
The Library on Mount Char is one of my favourites. I do appreciate how unusual and original it is. It's weird but also great
Wow. I can't believe you said How To Sell a Haunted House wasn't scary. It scared the s**t out of me. I had to put it down a couple of times. I am not down with puppets. That being said, it's in my top 5 favorite books this year. I did love it. Grady Hendrix blends humor and terror and the bizarre very well.
I also enjoyed How to Sell a Haunted House but didn't find it scary either. I am going to read The September House and see how scary it is
Haha I’m so glad you loved it!!
I love Library of Mount Char more than is reasonable 😂
Jessie. Have you read the inheritance game? Did you like it?? I have been trying to read it but I can't get into it and I don't know if its because the characters
I haven’t read that one but I’ve heard good things!
Um ok this coffee sponsor is an amazing Christmas idea… I came here for books but now I, spending money 😂
Lmao same. And the regular prices aren’t even bad! Same you’ll pay for any single origin coffee in the store.
Yes!!!! Isn’t it awesome?! Omg I was so excited to work with them!
Ooh a great set of books. I will say Lair of Dreams get so much better (and spookier) in the second half (that first chunk is rough but i will say around 33% it picks up) , and after book 2 the story does go back to more conventional ghosts. The Last House on Needless Street is one I've meant to pick up for ages, and I just havent but your review has really sold it to me !
I'm reading Godkiller right now and I am loving it. I hope you enjoy it. I was going to read How to Sell a Haunted House in October and ran out of time, I need to get to it though.
Totally agree with you on Hurricane Wars and I love Grady Hendrix too, just so unique 😊
I just finished Trouble with Peace by Joe Abercrombie. Just started The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne.
Totally agree on The Diviners series. First book 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The second one Lair of Dreams It was a Dnf . I just didnt care about the new characters and the dream walking? Sadly done with the series.
Here's what I read in October
All of us villans
Im glad my mom died by jennette mccurdy
It by Stephen king
Clown in a cornfield by adam cesare
Your not supposed to die tonight by kalynn Bayron
The crossing by Michael Connelly
The ex hex
Romantic comedy by curtis sittenfeld
A shadow crown by melissa Blair
Black candle women
Stone blind by natalie hayes
I read The Very Secret Society this month and it was EVERYTHING I needed! I don’t know why I picked it up, I wasn’t thinking I was in the mood for cozy, but I read it in one sitting!
Favorite so far is Grady Hendricks How to sell a Haunted House! I am almost done with it!
The Library at Mount Char was recommended to me years ago, described to me as " bat sh!t crazy " I also really liked it. & Yes, The Last House on Needless Street. (no spoilers, just Yes ! )
The last book book that I loved was Téa Obreht's Inland. I am doing Non-Fiction November, so next is No Beast So Fierce by Dane Huckelbridge
The Library at Mount Char was such a weird ride. I enjoyed it too, more that I usually do with such weird books. I gave it 3.5 stars. You made me curious about the Irregular Witches book, I have been hearing a lot of positive reviews. I guess I should give it a try, even if it is not my usual style.
Super fun reviews and tbr!!
You are so smart to have dropped out of the Diviners. Book 1 was fabulous. I trudged through books 2 & 3, which were fine-ish, only to nope out 25 pages into book 4. You saved yourself a LOT of disappointment.
I’m happy to hear that I saved myself from that but that’s such a bummer 😪
I only finished The Diviner Series because of January LaVoy's amazing narration. I don't think you're missing out too much DNFing the series, but I think book 3 is better than book 2. The last book is really bad and I hated the ending. I think you made the right call and I think the first book stands well enough on its own.
I need to read Library on Mount Char. Just sounds really unique and I usually enjoy unique reading experiences even if I don't love the book.
I recommend Catriona Ward's latest release Looking Glass Sound. I actually liked it more than Last House on Needless Street, but I don't know if that is a popular opinion. I like how the author writes stories to keep you disoriented but then everything makes sense by the end.
I had to DNF the first Diviners book a few days ago. All that mark of the beast and religious horror stuff reminded me of how the book of revelations was used to scare kids (and me) at my seventh-day Adventist church. Like, they made a judgment house, like a freakin haunted house, and shamed the kids who didn't want to go through it.
😱😱😱 that’s so scary!
so sad to hear about the hurricane wars!!! i always have such high hopes for new fantasy romances, but they never measure up 🥲
Ooh what kind of coffee machine do you have? I need to upgrade my $10 one lol.
The last book I loved is Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle.
I think it’s just a standard Mr coffee pot! We received it as a gift years ago!
I read the first 3 Diviners books but I’ve heard such meh to bad things about the last book I’m never going to read it 😢
♥️📚📚♥️ Placed The Very Secret Society....on hold with Libby! Thanks!
I also loved a secret society of irregular witches, even though Cerulean was just OK for me. There’s a second book coming out next year! I think it’s about an innkeeper
Have you read Sundial yet??? So so good too. Dang!! I love Catriona Ward intensely.
Not yet but I immediately want to read everything else she’s written!
👍🏾💕🍂
Yes, all the stars for The Last House on Needless Street! I had a very similar experience with The Lair of Dreams. I finished it and gave it three stars, but that feels generous. I did not carry on with the series.
You made me feel better about DNFing it haha
I LOVE and own the Library at Mount Char and didn't think it was horror for some reason. I had to think about it because its been at least a year or so since I read it and I think either I need to re-read this or I am weird that I didn't pick up on something that should have been creepy or scary lol
The last book I absolutely loved was Assistant to the Villain - so good!
Honduran and Colombian coffee are 🤌🏼 exquisite 🤌🏼
Edit: I don’t even like horror but you’re making want to read The Last House tarara
Omg I LOVE The Last House on Needless Street. My favourite read of last year.
What I read in October (that I enjoyed):
Ancient Magus Bride Vol. 3-5
Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 11
Iron Wolf by Siri Pettersen
Books that I read that I was kind of 'meh' on:
In the Viscount's Arms by Allyson Jeleyne
Enemies with Benefits by Roxie Noir
Is iron wolf as good as the raven rings trilogy ?
@@spookygirl2861 Yes. It's a bit more Adult-leaning than Raven Rings. I think I saw it mentioned that it's set in the same universe as the Raven Rings.
Thanks for the reminder on The Davebad Trilogy. I'm trying to complete series too!
Omg I'm trying to catch up on the Patron Buddy read before the live show. I was definitely mood reading all over last month 😂 I'm bummed Lair of Dreams didn't work out for you I loved the series when I read it. I need to do a reread.
Thanks for a great video, some great book recommendations. 😊
For Hurricane Wars; you have to continue reading it. It does get better! It was very difficult to understand in the beginning but it does get better and with a little spice!
At what point do you think it will get better......I am on page 171 and bored by it
@@yashal3715precisely my experience lol I gave it until 300 and it was still boring, DNF do urself a favour❤❤
LoL! Spoilers ahead......I think it gets better when they are forced to get married! @@yashal3715
