Omg I was trying to figure out why this was so familiar and I think I read it a few years ago but my audio copy was incomplete? It was the oddest thing. That, or it just ended without wrapping anything up. I didn’t even count it as “read” on Goodreads if I recall. Does it end abruptly?
I love how thorough and thoughtful all your reviews are. You’re honest but also lend tribute to time and place such as the audio book from 2013, where you’re transparent about the tech differences in today but recognize the talent as it was… that is attention to detail that goes above and beyond in YT world and is what makes you a standout. Also, you had me with the Hannibal books as I was so enamored with those too when I realized they existed, I definitely want to revisit and relisten. I remember being really shocked with red dragon. It definitely made an impression, even more than silence of the lambs for me.
An amazing “The Silence of The Lambs” and “The Stepford Wives” vintage novel editions?? LOVE. Can we all become obsessed with hunting for the vintage editions of 70s and 80s horror? The covers back then were just AMAZING. lol. Love hearing you loved “TSOTL”, I can’t wait to FINALLY read in October with some other classic horror!
I enjoyed Middle of the Night because it was a change of pace for him. It wasn't just the use of a male protagonist, but the tone was more somber and melancholy. And he utilized the suburban setting well and didn't throw out so many twists. Lastly, I loved the supernatural teasing in this one as well
I enjoyed Missing White Woman but the repetitive aspect irked me to no end! I also felt the writing was very cinematic and a mini series, or movie, would be most welcomed! Side note: The “peppy” black girl persona is a real thing…code switching.
The Audio for Incidents around the house by Josh Malerman is good! So far my favorite this year. I was creeped out, feeling the emotions and by the end screaming noooo
I can’t remember what I read in June without looking at my Goodreads, but I just finished We Used To Live Here by Marcus Kliewer, and it was an easy five stars for me.
I loved One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware! I also am reading Middle of the Night by Riley Sager and it's good so far but I don't know how I'll like the ending. Oh my, the anticipation! Happy reading!
I read Horror Movie in June. I plan to watch the live show, so I'll save my thoughts on it until then. I'm eager to see what everyone else thinks of it. Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby is one of my favorite classics. I love The Stepford Wives (original) movie, too, but I haven't read the book yet, either. I'm looking forward to reading it for your book club. I already pre-ordered The Unmothers, so I'm all set for the next three book club picks. I'm excited!
Hiya!! New subscriber here! Love your content! I read Horror Movie! Just finished it last night. I’ve been keeping up with Summerween and the Midnight Society book club. This is my first time joining both so I’m excited! I enjoyed Horror Movie. I’m reading Any Man right now and it’s so surprisingly different but good. Thanks for the video! Much love Tamara
ooooh we are opposites this month! I gave Diavola & Echo Wife fives, and then Missing White Woman a 3.25. I LOVED the concept but I feel like there were SO. MANY. PLOTHOLES.
I am so excited to hear everyone's thoughts on Horror Movie! I finished it a few weeks ago and honestly, I still don't know how I feel about it. I need someone to tell me how to feel! 😂 And you got me when you said the new Riley Sager is like Lock Every Door...he frustrates me incredibly BUT that was my favorite by him, so of course I'll definitely be reading it now. (Who am I kidding, I was going to read it anyway. Damn you, wily Riley Sager for always sucking me back in!) And last month I finally got around to reading Just Like Home...and loved it...so I am thrilled to learn there's another one from this author...and as luck would have it, I literally just checked out a library copy, wooo!
I thought I was going to be able to get to Horror Movie for Summerween but it’s not looking like it at this point. Anyway, I’ll have it read by the end of the month for the book club, so we shall see! Lock Every Door was my favorite Sager too. You should definitely check out The Echo Wife. It has that same edge as Just Like Home.
I may have to purchase Horror Movie sooner than I thought since I'm #23 in line for holds at the library 😂 I was going to get it anyway because I have A Head Full of Ghosts and I like to collect my faves from certain authors.
yay Meg !! 😄
Fav book of June = The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchinson
Ooh

@@ReadingWrylyNo. it’s actually the first book in a series but the books can be read independently.

Thank you so much! 🥰🙌🏻 I’m going to try to read Red Dragon this month.

Definitely looking forward to your review of SOTL!!! You sparked a new hobby. 😅
@@ReadingWryly after reading Grady Hendrix’s “Paperbacks From Hell” I’ve become obsessed with vintage editions and I’m taking everyone down with me. 😂
@@kelssweetie I need to read that now.

I agree with all of that
My favorite June read was in the middle of the night. Unabashedly a Sager fan and I was on the edge of my seat for that release 😂
I enjoyed Missing White Woman but the repetitive aspect irked me to no end!
I also felt the writing was very cinematic and a mini series, or movie, would be most welcomed!

I've been trying to get into the bookclub and I think it's my time :)
Yes! Love to hear it! ❤️🙌🏻
I just read The Stepford Wives for Summerween and loved it! The audio is great. It's going to make a great book club read.
That’s great to hear, thanks for sharing. 💟 Love your handle!
@@ReadingWryly thanks!
SO excited to read The Unmothers with you and Jan!!🤩💓💓
Can’t wait!! ❤️
The Audio for Incidents around the house by Josh Malerman is good! So far my favorite this year. I was creeped out, feeling the emotions and by the end screaming noooo
I just read that one! And agreed. It was really good audio!
I saw Stepford Wives and Stepford Children as a teen. Loved it.
Stepford children?
I’m so excited about The Stepford Wives!! And I know the discussion will be amazing 🔥
Me too!!! ❤️🙌🏻
Unmothers sounds soooo good.
I can’t remember what I read in June without looking at my Goodreads, but I just finished We Used To Live Here by Marcus Kliewer, and it was an easy five stars for me.
That’s on my TBR. Well damn, I’m going to have to find an audio copy now.
@@ReadingWrylyI found it on Everand. It said it wasn’t available until July 28th, but when the sample ended, it just kept going.
Ooh. Glitch in the matrix????
The echo wife has been on my TBR for YEARS it feels
It was on mine for years too.
I loved One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware! I also am reading Middle of the Night by Riley Sager and it's good so far but I don't know how I'll like the ending. Oh my, the anticipation! Happy reading!
Nice! Let me know how it turns out for you.
Reading in the Middle of the Night
Enjoying it. Chapter 6 .
Read 📚 all his other books. Love them !

Hi Tamara. Thanks so much! Oh man! Any Man should be its own genre. I’ve never read anything like it! ❤️🙌🏻
ooooh we are opposites this month! I gave Diavola & Echo Wife fives, and then Missing White Woman a 3.25. I LOVED the concept but I feel like there were SO. MANY. PLOTHOLES.
Ooh fun! I love that for us. ❤️

I am now tempted to read Silence, probably not a good idea for me...
If you think it’s going to test your boundaries then don’t do it. A book isn’t worth your well being.
I may have to purchase Horror Movie sooner than I thought since I'm #23 in line for holds at the library 😂 I was going to get it anyway because I have A Head Full of Ghosts and I like to collect my faves from certain authors.
oh wait I was wrong! I just checked and I'm only #9 in line... I'm #23 for the new Ruth Ware one 🤦 still prob gonna end up buying it lol
And if you err on the side of caution and buy it, your hold will probably come in time too. 😂 That always happens to me.
@@ReadingWryly yep hold pick-up notification the minute after I buy it 😆
