I read V.C. Andrews as a teenager SOOOO Many years ago! I did enjoy Verity by Colleen Hoover but have not read her other books for one reason or another.
I am currently reading through the Travis McGee books by John D Macdonald and I highly recommend them if you haven’t read them before. Some of the 60s casual sexism can be a bit cringey but the character is excellent and they are great kind of detective like stories.
I love Donald Goines. I've yet to come across anything that is similar. I'm working on a review video of his Crime Partners book. When I looked into his bio I was floored by how closely his life resembled his fiction.
Thank you Olly! That's very sweet of you to cover the snake picture for your wife. I've been reading "Lair" by James Herbert (2nd book in the "Rats" trilogy) and found the same issue as you had with the snake - they're kind of limited in what they can actually do. Mostly bite people...then bite them some more. But I hear the third book is wild, so I'm hoping the rats will have learned how to drive trucks (lorries?) or rig booby-traps or something...
Like always I am impress you can read so much in a week. I only finished Live Girls which was a blast and I am reading fantasy that is a clear rip off or Red Sonja which I picked up at use book story. If I finish that I am going to read the second Lone Star an adult western. The first was really trashy so I have high hopes.
Thank you for taking a stand against hateful comments. You just reinforced my respect for you.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
There's good trash you want to read and then there's internet comments...
@MrSwinefuzz ha ha ha I love this
You rock Olly! ❤️
❤❤❤
One of my favorite things about this channel is that everyone can be here safely and happily. Great job!
Thank you!
Your smile is wonderful, warms the heart.
Thank you!

I ended up reading the VC Andrews in a day, so compelling!
Thanks, Olly. I never expected to be popping up for review. I'm glad it held your interest. 😊
I really had fun with it!
That's great 😊@@CriminOllyBlog
I love the English use of the German word „schleppen“ 😂💜
Oh yes, I saw Willow’s review. I am looking forward to your review
of it.
Thanks! Will be up later today

I really like the McGee books - lots of fun
Thanks for you Olly.

The way he talks about his work makes me really wanted to try one day of his novels. The only real crime novels I have read are the Parker novels.
Yeah he definitely wrote what he knew! I guess Iceberg Slim is the writer who comes to mind as similar.

It's been a while since I read it, but I don't think they manage to do that!
'Horses for courses' but Lair is actually my favourite Rats book.
@@davidbrian6498 Good to know, I will keep an open mind then 😀
The end Verity is probably the most improbable I have ever read.
It really was something
End of 1st week of Garbaugust!

Live Girls is definitely fun and very GarbAugust appropriate!
V.C. Andrews Dawn was an interesting book...primarily written by the ghost writer. It makes Verity seem PG rated in comparison lol
LOL it does! I finished it yesterday
Missed opportunity to include Count Binface for Garbaugust. What better guest to have 🔥
I did look into how much it would cost to a Cameo from him but he doesn’t let you use them in other videos
@@CriminOllyBlog Ah! I see. Happy to hear you entertained the idea
The only word I would object to on the cover of a book, and thus not read it, would be.....criminolly !! 🤭 I'm surprised I haven't been banned yet.
LOL - I just keep you around to use as an example of someone I haven't banned if anyone ever calls me authoritarian
