My favorite January read was "We Used to Live Here" by Marcus Kliewer! It was so good and is truly one of the best psychological thrillers I've ever read! Keep up the great work! I really enjoy your content! ✨

I read Yellowface two years ago and the second I mentioned it in passing to my partner today after watching your video he remembered it immediately. He knew instantly what book I was referencing because the book was so wild and I spoke to him about how crazy it was after I read it so strongly that he remembered the book by title. Yellowface is horrifying for sure!

Episode thirteen was such an unexpected 5 stars for me in 2024! Definitely worth a re-read

I think it’s important to note for Parasite, that they were serial novellas that were just binded up for this book. You find more out in the later stories in it

I’ve had Parasite on my shelf for over a year and I’ve been scared to pick it up. Knowing it’s fast paced helps me though! Also Tender is the Flesh is good and Gone to see the River Man is wild!

[jessstoney]

these videos make me so happy! Love the book content. I have had Episode 13 sitting on my shelf for over a year and really need to get to it now.

I'm reading Tender is the Flesh right now, only a chapter in. Now it feels like we're in a book club haha

I’ve been wanting to read Fantasticland but I really only read what’s at my library because $. I look forward to your review!

[meliali]

wiii I also bought tender is the flesh the other day (cadaver exquisito in my language :), so I guess I'll be hearing your opinion when i'm finishing it😁

[jmaddren]

I think you would really enjoy We Used to Live Here, if you haven't read it yet ofc ❤

[pattyfranks]

Fantastic Land is intense and a LOT of gore! I’m still not sure what the hell happened.

[LydiaFran]

Do you have a Goodreads account we could follow? :) I’d love to keep up with your recs!

Maybe this is a dumb question, but have you read Lolita yet? Peak unlikable main character and very well written (classic, so duh 😅)
