i recently read “home is where the bodies are” and i really liked it. although, i’m glad you said most of her previous books are based around romance because that’s not really a genre i read.
I’ve been crazy busy and haven’t been watching as much booktube lately, but Queen…I see your growth (editing/intros/etc.)I see the work you’re putting in. ❤🙌🏻
I’m currently reading Home is where the Bodies are. I’m enjoying it but I don’t have a nagging urge to pick it up every night. Hopefully I finish it up this weekend.
Oooo I had no idea A Talent for Murder is a sequel to A Kind Worth Killing, it changed title style without warning, was expecting “A Kind Worth …” ya know?
I know why would the title be more similar?? They didn’t make it obvious at all that it’s part of the same series, almost like they were trying to promote it as if it wasn’t??? 🫠🫠🫠 I hope you have better luck with it if you read it!
Im currently reading flowers in the attic n omg this book is just wild n crazy so far the grandmother is out of her mind n shes crazy and home is where the bodies are sounds good i just might pick that one up on kindle
I’m listening to Home is where the bodies are right now and really enjoying it - so glad you liked it - now going back to your video and see what u think of the others. Love your videos ❤️
A thriller I haven’t seen a RUclipsr mention before is Mind of Winter by Laura Kasischke. It’s so good with a twist that I don’t think many will guess; I’ve read it multiple times and I enjoy it every time!
I've noticed lately that a lot of my BOTM copies have had editing errors (Darling Girls was particularly bad)! I haven't gone to the bookstore to see if normal copies have the errors too, but it's driving me absolutely crazy!
I finished A Talent For Murder today and it was 2 stars for me. The San Diego error irked me, Mission Beach and the Imperial Beach Pier are not the same.
I just started “ A Talent for Murder” but I haven’t read the other 2 books. I didn’t even know! Should I stop and wait so I can read the other 2 first?
Gabby, hear me out. Lavender oil on the bottom of your feet. It helps my whole family knock right out for bed. I get the roll on kind from amazon for $5-$9. Works like a charm! I used to have a hard time falling asleep.
I’ve learned not to get attached to thriller authors because the genre can be so unpredictable. I just try to read the hot thrillers for that year, but I try not to look at any of them as faves. I have some that I get more excited about than others…but they all are subject to write a thriller you don’t like. The only author so far that I kind of see as a fave (even with disappointments) is Riley Sager. For some reason, even if I don’t like the book, I still seem to not be crushed & have a good time. I think with thrillers you have just have to see the books individually. 🥰🥰🥰
So I am prepared for summer ween. I have put a lot of thought into my 5 picks. This will be my first time participating in summer ween and I chose to because I love to read and Halloween is my favorite holiday hands down! I have bought my summer ween shirt, I will be drinking pumpkin spice coffee out of my Halloween mug daily with instrumental Halloween music in background. I also created a Summerween journal page and I will be rating each book by how many ghosts it gets instead of stars. I'm hoping all are 5 ghosts reads.
I gave Home is where the bodies are 3 stars, which isn’t a bad rating for me and I really enjoyed it. I’m a little late on this vlog but I would love to see you read A Flicker In the Dark by Stacy Willingham. These two books were very similar to me and I would love to hear your thoughts on them! ❤
I remember reading the line where the guy tells Lily, “ She was fire”….. I thought I had misread it….did he say she was fine? Nope, the word he used was fire and that didn’t make much sense in context of his recent dialogue. This author is gonna have to work a miracle to write on the level of The Kind Worth Killing. Really loved that book…..come on, Peter we know you can do it!
You nailed it with The House That Horror Built. I’m glad it’s not just me who felt this way! I unfortunately didn’t DNF it but the protagonist became so unlikeable and irritating as the book went on which only added to my crappy experience!
Home is where the bodies are - An average read. I guessed the culprit pretty early on in the story. Even though our sympathy would go out to Beth, for her strength in spite of what she is constantly put up against, the only POV I really cared about was the mother Laura's. The book was quite atmospheric but it was also too bleak for me. But I hear from many other reviewers too that this is the author's best by far. It's a quick and easy read and that's a plus.
I’m not familiar with all types of OCD, and I’m sure other reviewers on Goodreads would probably better be able to identify it, but one theme I noticed for sure was contamination OCD
Considering the sheer volume of newly published novels I'd guess it's not practical to edit everything - sorry it didn't end well, but that's a big problem for professional writers. Thx - enjoyed
Gabby with The House That Horror Built did you not see similarities between this and Starling House. There are quite a lot of comparisons and it’s weird. Am I the only one that thinks this??
I think Peter Swanson is a talented writer with good ideas, but I think him trying to relate to the Gen Z reader will be his undoing. He should just focus on the Xennials, Gen X, and Boomers that loved his earlier books and be content with that. For me, I haven't liked a book of his ever since Nine Lives though I did hear promising things about his Christmas novella so I might check that out when the Christmas season comes around again.

Hope everyone watching is having a great day remember be happy and smile ❤
i recently read “home is where the bodies are” and i really liked it. although, i’m glad you said most of her previous books are based around romance because that’s not really a genre i read.
The House That Horror Built was a 5 star read for me! Thanks for the recommendation Gabby!❤
I didn't know that A Talent for Murder is the third book. That is good to know because I haven't read the other two yet!
I really love how honest you are in your reviews! 🎉 thank you so much!
I read to escape reality so I hate when authors add Covid into it?? It’s almost never adds anything to the plot!
Yeah same 💀💀💀
Exactly why I stopped watching Grey's Anatomy
I agree with you. This is why I DNFed Holly by Stephen King & Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld .
I’ve been crazy busy and haven’t been watching as much booktube lately, but Queen…I see your growth (editing/intros/etc.)I see the work you’re putting in. ❤🙌🏻
Thank you friend 🥹💖🫶🏻 I appreciate that so much!! Sending love!! 💖
Going into this I didn't not expect being the most intrigued by the Jeneva Rose novel at the end😝- I can use an easy-to-read thriller!
Hahaha it was very unexpected 😂🤭
TY for helping me not have FOMO with the Peter Swanson book 😆
😂🤭🫠
I love watching your vlogs! Just what I needed to start my week ! 😊
I’m currently reading Home is where the Bodies are. I’m enjoying it but I don’t have a nagging urge to pick it up every night. Hopefully I finish it up this weekend.
Oooo I had no idea A Talent for Murder is a sequel to A Kind Worth Killing, it changed title style without warning, was expecting “A Kind Worth …” ya know?
And now I’m terrified to read it, 2 stars??
I know why would the title be more similar?? They didn’t make it obvious at all that it’s part of the same series, almost like they were trying to promote it as if it wasn’t??? 🫠🫠🫠 I hope you have better luck with it if you read it!
I've made an effort not to let a low goodreads rating deter me from picking a book. So many highly rated books were just awful imo.
Im currently reading flowers in the attic n omg this book is just wild n crazy so far the grandmother is out of her mind n shes crazy and home is where the bodies are sounds good i just might pick that one up on kindle
Weekend with Gabby 🫂🩵
The Jeneva Rose book look super good! I’m super excited for Summerween coming up:)
I’m listening to Home is where the bodies are right now and really enjoying it - so glad you liked it - now going back to your video and see what u think of the others. Love your videos ❤️
Thank you!! ❤❤❤
Your rating of every book in this video was so shocking!! 😂
I know right what a roller coaster 😂😂😂
I Loved Home is Where the Bodies are! I couldn't put it down I read it in like 2 days
A thriller I haven’t seen a RUclipsr mention before is Mind of Winter by Laura Kasischke. It’s so good with a twist that I don’t think many will guess; I’ve read it multiple times and I enjoy it every time!
Your vlogs are so good Gabby!!! I wasn't sure if I was going to pick up Home is Where the Bodies Are but I think I'm going to now!!!
Aw thanks Lexi I appreciate it 🥹🥰 I hope you enjoy that book too!
I had no idea your hair is wavy/curly! It was so beach wavy and lovely.
Yesss re: the house that horror built. I also thought it was like “grown-up Goosebumps”… but she forgot to bring the grown-up part 😬
I've noticed lately that a lot of my BOTM copies have had editing errors (Darling Girls was particularly bad)! I haven't gone to the bookstore to see if normal copies have the errors too, but it's driving me absolutely crazy!
Aw that’s good to know to read The Kind Worth Killing and The Kind Worth Saving before A Talent for murder cause I got that as my BOTM pick
Thank you for including the very real clip of deflating an air mattress😂
😂😂😂
I loved the vlog
the rpwp tee omggggg so cute
Isn’t it so cute?? 🥹😭
Great vlog. 💀👻🦇📚🧋🍨
I had no idea a talent for murder was kind of part of a series! I almost chose it as my botm, I’m surprised they didn’t disclose that at all
I finished A Talent For Murder today and it was 2 stars for me. The San Diego error irked me, Mission Beach and the Imperial Beach Pier are not the same.
I just started “ A Talent for Murder” but I haven’t read the other 2 books. I didn’t even know! Should I stop and wait so I can read the other 2 first?
I would definitely recommend the other two books to read first!
Gabby, hear me out. Lavender oil on the bottom of your feet. It helps my whole family knock right out for bed. I get the roll on kind from amazon for $5-$9. Works like a charm! I used to have a hard time falling asleep.
I went back to look at what mine is that I use. Nature’s truth. All natural and you wont wake up groggy lol.
I'm reading The house that horror built and yes, I'm not feeling scared. The story's right now a bit hilarious to me.

That was a plot twist i did not see coming with the Peter Swanson book. What a let-down.
😭😭😭
Oh nooo, I’m worried about the Peter Swanson book now.😬
😭😭😭
I’m currently reading the house that horror built. I’m not sure how feel it about so far. 🤔
Home is where the bodies are sounds like it would be so fun!
I remember reading the line where the guy tells Lily, “ She was fire”….. I thought I had misread it….did he say she was fine? Nope, the word he used was fire and that didn’t make much sense in context of his recent dialogue. This author is gonna have to work a miracle to write on the level of The Kind Worth Killing. Really loved that book…..come on, Peter we know you can do it!
This vlog is full of twists and turns 😅
Loved home is where the bodies are!
I’ve been sleeping on Peter Swanson for about 10 years and damn I don’t know, I might just keep on sleeping 😄
😂😂😂
The Peter Swanson book sounded so good!! Too bad it was a flop for you😭
I just started the Peter Swanson book and I already am questioning my choice. Think I am not continuing.
😭😭😭
You nailed it with The House That Horror Built. I’m glad it’s not just me who felt this way! I unfortunately didn’t DNF it but the protagonist became so unlikeable and irritating as the book went on which only added to my crappy experience!
I wish i would've known about Covid being in the plot of the Christina Henry book. I wouldn't of bought it.
I feel the same with Christina Henry's new releases, they just don't hit the same 😕
It’s so unfortunate 😭
Did that say 3x reading speed? Omg lol I wish
Your thumbnail is making me sad about the Peter Swanson book. 😥 I have/had high hopes for it.
Me too 😭😭😭
I never want to read about Covid times. That’s an automatic nope for me.

I was so disappointed with the House that Horror Built. Such a let down compared to Near the Bone.
I know what the heck 😭😭😭
The House that Horror Built was more mystery and not at all horror.
What theme of ocd is represented in You know what you did? Just wanna see if I can read it
I’m not familiar with all types of OCD, and I’m sure other reviewers on Goodreads would probably better be able to identify it, but one theme I noticed for sure was contamination OCD
@@gabbyreadsah I’ve been through this one, wasn’t my worst streak so I should be fine 😊

Yeah there’s definitely similarities to Starling House!!
@@gabbyreads fantastic video as always. Thank you for always putting out amazing content 🤗

The Christmas novella was good!
I love the Christmas novella!! But I wasn’t a big fan of Nine Lives 🫠
@@gabbyreads Nine Lives.. I was ok with the writing.. hated the final twist. I found Ruth Ware utilized the concept better in her latest book...imho
💜💜
Can we see more of your hobonichi cousin??
IM EARLY WOOOOO🎉
❤❤❤
Kind worth saving was such a disappointing read for me
