Would you ever consider doing a tattoo tour? I can tell at least some of the tattos are bookish, and I for one would love to see you show them off to us. I feel like that would be a very fun video.

Great review, Violet! I have never read Adam Nevill before so will probably start somewhere else but this made me excited to finally start reading his work!

Have seven of his books, some on my tbr list. I like your videos 👍

I started this book a while back, but only made it about 30 pages... I found it to be so very wordy, and I couldn't really connect with the characters. But maybe I should give it another chance... I do love folk horror, and I can see how there might be a good story in there. Not happy about the animal cruelty, though, but if I know it's coming and it at least serves a purpose other than shock value, maybe I can deal with it. I have been so quick to give up on books lately, if they don't grab me immediately, I just put them away. Maybe I need to be a bit more patient... :) Really liked this video, thank you!

I still haven't read anything by Adam Neville even though I own four of his books! This being one of them. I have dogs and small children so now I am a bit leery lol. If you like the whole "child doesn't fully understand what's going on" thing I would recommend Pen Pal by Dan Athan. I read it earlier this month and it was so chilling! It's about a kindergartener who does a school project to find a pen pal and his turns out to be a stalker, but because he is a kid he doesn't realize that and the book is his way of confronting those childhood memories that didn't quite make sense to him.

One thing I've appreciated about watching your channel is that I agree with a lot of your issues and likes and dislikes etc with books. Like most people, I watch quite a bit of different booktube channels, and while I enjoy them, I rarely agree with their opinions. While I do not always like every single book you enjoy, I definitely resonate with your opinions the most! I love having different viewpoints, but it's also nice to agree sometimes too haha

I'm excited to read this now. Folk horror is not something I think I like, but I always find it uniquely creepy, and very down to earth/home/family. Is Nevill famous enough to get that weird disease where he's immune to his editor's feedback?

My signed copy of The Vessel came in this week and the cover is just amazing! I think it's the best so far. I've been trying to start reading it for the last three days and haven't had time and it's killing me lol

I had a hard time getting through this one because of all the descriptions. The descriptions had descriptions and it was too much. I usually get aggravated with him because of all his incomplete sentences, but I hardly noticed them in this one!

I didn't really care for the first half of the book because I didn't really like nor found Tom interesting and almost dnfed it. Also, a lot of the marital tension Tom had with Fiona could have been rectified if he would just pull out his cell phone and take pictures and record video of all the weird stuff his neighbors were up to; however, I found once the folk horror stuff really began to take off in the second half that I had done a 180 on the book and ended up really enjoying it. I wasn't aware that this book was originally intended as a film, until you mentioned it; interestingly, my first reaction once I had finished it was that it was one of those novels where a film version would probably be better.
