Hey Mary! Has your son read any of the Goosebumps books yet?? Those were always awesome! But you could also try to start introducing him to YA science fiction or fantasy if he seems to have become too bored with his traditional age group. I was an advanced reader. As long as you keep out of the romance section you should be fine. Rick Riordan's Heroes of Olympus Books are great, The Shadow Speaker by Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu, and 13 Hangmen by Art Corriveau would be great transition books as well!
Hi Mary! one of my favorite book series to read when I was 11/12 was the City of Ember books, very interesting story and it may be a good one to check out for your son :-)
A series I loved in middle school was called Cirqu du Freak. I don’t remember how many books there were but I thought they were interesting. Maybe he would like them 🤷🏼♀️
If your son enjoys the Whimpy Kid series, he may enjoy Warrior Kid, by Jocko Willink. I got the first book for my nephew and he liked it so much, he asked for the second one for Christmas.
Hey Mary! Great video! As I was watching and listening you talk about your son and his love for reading and I just couldn’t help suggesting a great series to you. It’s called the Gregor chronicles and it’s a series of five books written by Susanne Collins. The first book is titled “Gregor the Overlander” I highly suggest you and your son check it out! Love always
Aw, my 2 year old brings me Giraffes Can’t Dance to read before bed almost every night. I’m trying not to buy any books this year so thanks for this little virtual shopping trip!
Mate B. She wrote an amazing book called “River Road” which is all about a cult that she was involved in while younger. It’s an amazing book and she has a playlist of videos where she reads us the entire book. Check it out!
I love your bookshop videos! I really want to see an ASMR Barbie now. She could come with a little microphone and bag of crinkly items! I personally find some of the true-crime ASMR videos a bit creepy. I think discussing murder, rape and abuse whilst still making it relaxing is really hard to do well. I think it can come across as being really inappropriate if it is done badly.
I’ll throw in a few more suggestions. My son was a voracious reader when he was about your son’s age. He never wanted to read the Harry Potter books, but he loved the Percy Jackson books-he read each one 5 times, so I’ll second that series and anything else by Rick Riordin. Some others that we also liked: ANY of the Brandon Mull books, but especially The Five Kingdoms series, the Rangers Apprentice books, The Mysterious Benedict Society books and the Keeper of the Lost Cities books. The young adult section leaves him cold (he’s in 8th grade now). Most of it is aimed at girls-I’m sorry to say it, but it’s true! Too much romance, even in the fantasy. We’ve had good luck these days with the YA stuff from Brandon Sanderson.
If he hasn't read them I loved the Encyclopedia Brown books when I was young. They're older so don't know if Barnes and Noble would have them. Also the Henry Huggins books, and Choose your own adventure.
Sorry if it’s out of line but I also loved to read as a kid and I’ve really fallen out of it but from when I was a kid I really enjoyed Margaret Peterson Haddix. All of her books have a different theme but they’re all personally really interesting to me or there’s the Keeper of the Lost Cities which is a fun series Edit: A good book he might enjoy is Middle School: How I survived bullies, broccoli, and snake hill by Chris Tebbets and James Patterson
As an aspiring author these are fun and relaxing for me. I hope you'll continue these walkthroughs. Maybe stop by the mystery/thriller section maybe? :P
Has he ever read , “ magnus chase ” by Rick Riordan ? It’s a three book series but he may like it. Depending on how old he is it may be challenging for him but I think you should check it out and you have to read book 1 to understand book 2 and same thing for book 3.
There is a really sweet bookstore in downtown Greensboro, at least there was last time I was there visiting my parents. Might be cool to make a video in there. Fewer toys!
35:40 sorry WHAT YOU WERE IN A CULT HOW DID I NOT KNOW? Ps is river road the book you’re referring too when you say you wrote about it, I haven’t got around to listening to it yet.
Teacher here, has he tried the following book series?: Harry Potter series Lord of the Rings series Chronicles of Narnia series Diary of a Minecraft mummy The Prince Warriors How to Train your Dragon Percy Jackson Horrible Histories Hatchet
I wish I could sleep like a bear 😂 I took two of my anxiety pills last week and started a sales paper video....I don't think I got through half before my bf woke me up because my phone was on and I was sleeping face down. Just pure magic
There's a young adult book series named Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy its about a skeletal detective sorcerer cracking crimes and a lot of death happens along the way the humor is pretty funny its better than Harry Potter in reviews I'm 39 years old and it still gets laughter out of me
“stay sexy and don’t get murdered... it’s my mantra every morning” I cant😂😂😂😂
My Favorite Murder is my favorite podcast! ❤
@@BougASue okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
The fact that you pick out books for your son to read is so amazing. 💚
"Why am I looking at toys in a book st-- GOOD GOLLY look at all the Legos!"
‘There’s a sloth on cocaine’ reminds me of an old ‘friend’.
I had that same thought 😂
A huge yes please to the ghost stories book!
He might like the Artemis Fowl or Percy Jackson series!
Yes!!! I LOVED Artemis Fowl!!
I loved Artemis Fowl at his age too!
Great recommendation! I loved Artemis Fowl!
YOU WERE IN A CULT??!
i will most definitely sit through hours of reading ghost stories or stories in general, it’s always my favorite!
My two favourite things SouthernSoundsASMR and browsing book stores! I’m in for a treat!
He should try A Series of Unfortunate Events! One of my favorites as a kid.
He's read all 13 of those books three times over.

I also read and loved this series
“You open it up and it says just buy a Samsung galaxy” lmao I love you Mary
"There's a sloth on.. Cocaine" IM DEAD 😂😂
“There’s a sloth... on cocaine look at its eyes!” Hahah you crack me up Mary🤣
I love bookstores! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 #happyplace
I so miss B&N, I would bring my son here get a coffee and a book then let him play. Now I have no vehicle and a new baby 😏
For your younger son I would recommend Ali Cross by James Patterson. It’s about a boy who’s best friend has gone missing and he tries to find him.
Mary I love your videos. I love bookstores as well. Really relaxing. Thank you 💞
Yayyyyyy I love you barnes and nobles videos...They're so relaxing
I love your book shop walkthrough they are so relaxing :)
I would LOVE the ghost story read! I’m all about that stuff!👻🎃❤️❤️
I love that I saw an Amelia Earhart book in the babies and toddlers. I loved learning about her
My Favorite is the DogMan Graphic Novels
Yessss I love book store walk-throughs. I’m fascinated with Barnes N Noble but there not one anywhere near where I live nowadays.
Bj Novak played Ryan in The Office. Loved this video

My favorite murder book and my favorite asmr-tist all together 💖💖

I absolutely love these walkthroughs ♥️♥️
Great ad. Watched the entire thing.
The magic tree house is a great series to read for his age both me and my brother read them throughout school and we both finished the series
has he read the goosebumps books there really good for the in-between stage he seems to be at and there are a ton of them
When Toys R Us closed, stores like Barnes & Noble and Target added more toys to fill the void. Fun video! Your commentary is
Omg Mary now that you mentioned it you should go to the Jamestown library and make an asmr video. Of course when you time. I love you ♥️♥️
I wait for your videos everyday! 🖤
Aw, my 2 year old brings me Giraffes Can’t Dance to read before bed almost every night. I’m trying not to buy any books this year so thanks for this little virtual shopping trip!
Thank you for the walk through! 😊
Looking Sharp as always. Really like this store especially for records
What a fantastic shop!
...a cult?! Can you elaborate on that? Just dropped it casually 😅 love your vids!!
Mate B. She wrote an amazing book called “River Road” which is all about a cult that she was involved in while younger. It’s an amazing book and she has a playlist of videos where she reads us the entire book. Check it out!
Nvm, found the video! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, love you Mary!
Also her video “Is ASMR a cult?” talks about her experience too

@@mo777- Thanl you my friend bless you 🌼🌹💙🙏🙏

Cherub series (book recommendations for him) it’s so good me and my brother both loved it also Darren Shan cirque du freak series was brilliant xx

Wow these stores near us closed- much to our dismay. Thanks for walk thru!
Glad to know your son likes to read❤️! too many kids these days aren’t into reading anymore, technology and social media just took over! 😅
If he hasn't already read them, the Skullduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy, is fantastic! I was obsessed with them in highschool
Stay sexy and don't get murdered is a great book 💕
i love your videos so much❤️ hope you’ve had a nice day ❤️
Heyyy I love your videos
It's so fun to hear another Samsung Galaxy fan!
Hi can you do a walk through in the YA and fantasy isle. Those are my favorite types of books.
If he hasn't read them I loved the Encyclopedia Brown books when I was young. They're older so don't know if Barnes and Noble would have them. Also the Henry Huggins books, and Choose your own adventure.

Edit: A good book he might enjoy is Middle School: How I survived bullies, broccoli, and snake hill by Chris Tebbets and James Patterson
If you like Harry Potter and Narnia you should read “the magicians” - by lev! So good!!
Samantha I love Harry Potter
Goosebumps books
He read several of those and then declared that he didn't want to read any more. He just wasn't into them.
Percy Jackson is a great series and it's perfect for tween/teen boys. Also anything by Rick Riordan is also good.
I really enjoyed this video
As an aspiring author these are fun and relaxing for me. I hope you'll continue these walkthroughs. Maybe stop by the mystery/thriller section maybe? :P

How do I submit a request for a video? I'd love to see you do a makeup sales counter roleplay!
Does your son like the Goosebumps books? I enjoyed reading anything Goosebumps when I was younger.
There is a really sweet bookstore in downtown Greensboro, at least there was last time I was there visiting my parents. Might be cool to make a video in there. Fewer toys!
has your son read the genius files series by dan gutman?! my favorite series from my childhood, i guarantee he’ll love them!
35:40 sorry WHAT YOU WERE IN A CULT HOW DID I NOT KNOW? Ps is river road the book you’re referring too when you say you wrote about it, I haven’t got around to listening to it yet.
Yes river road is the book it’s very good and I’m only 30 mins into part 1
love your videos. i go to NC A&T State University in Greensboro, NC. Aggie Pride 💙💛💙💛
4:25 oml they have the bts dolls those things are hideous irl
Sloth on cocaine 😂😂😂😂😂
When I joined the cult I had to throw out my Dre album. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that.
What does she mean by cult? I'm so confused? ♡
@@Tired_Pisces watch her video called "is ASMR a cult?" It touches on the group she was in
@@pointydogs35 oooh
@@pointydogs35 I remember watching that video but I forgot it existed haha
7:56 😂😂😂😂😂
Is there a video that you talk about being in the cult?
Kat Nap ASMR her video “Is ASMR a cult?” talks about her experience
Morgan Leigh thanks!
Teacher here, has he tried the following book series?:
Harry Potter series
Lord of the Rings series
Chronicles of Narnia series
Diary of a Minecraft mummy
The Prince Warriors
How to Train your Dragon
Percy Jackson
Horrible Histories
Hatchet
4:17 BTS! I love BTS
Maybe check out lily whispers videos, just to get an idea of the crime/unsolved videos. They’re really interesting
20:02 😂
Me an my girlfriend watch this stuff before bed..sleep like a bear after..its interested for some crazy reason.
I wish I could sleep like a bear 😂 I took two of my anxiety pills last week and started a sales paper video....I don't think I got through half before my bf woke me up because my phone was on and I was sleeping face down. Just pure magic
Have him read The Magic Tree house
He read several of those and wasn't really into them.
im new to your channel but, um, would love to circle back to the CULT 😭
Has your youngest son read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? They’re great!
There's a young adult book series named Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy its about a skeletal detective sorcerer cracking crimes and a lot of death happens along the way the humor is pretty funny its better than Harry Potter in reviews I'm 39 years old and it still gets laughter out of me
Would you be able to get away with doing a major car dearlership walk through? Lol 🙂
They'd bug the hell out of me!
What is the cult ?
It's the Bye-Bye Cult, because I got away from there.
She really skipped manga 😞
Has your son read the Harry Potter books? Excellent!!!
You joined a cult? Sorry I missed that episode.
Logical1 her video “Is ASMR a cult?” talks about her experience
Thanks.
I'm interested in this cult??? You need to tell us x x
Lisa Savage her video “Is ASMR a cult?” talks about her experience
I wrote a book about it, and I read it in a 17-part video series that you can find in my "River Road" playlist.
Funny
What cult are you talking about? I’m genuinely curious
She joined a cult?
Nornor Navarro her video “Is ASMR a cult?” talks about her experience too
I wouldn't say I joined it. I was recruited into it. There's a subtle, but important, difference. Most people are recruited.
I couldn't even finish book 1 of harry potter didn't catch my attention
You should see if your son likes the Percy Jackson series !
