I am so excited about today's video! Today I am reading horror book recommendations from TikTok! This is a video I've been wanting to make for the longest time, and I'm so happy with how it turned out and the fact that I discovered a new all-time favorite book. I'd love to know if you'd like for me to do a round two in the future? Let me know what you think of this kind of vlog!
I also mention my friends ‪@ashleyslittlelibrary‬ and ‪@ReadingWryly‬ when I talk about Any Man!

"I'm either bored or I'm nauseous. There's not in between." Well that's definitely not fun. Any Man was added to my TBR. That quote and the way you felt has me sold.

I do not read horror at all (im a coward and also have an anxiety disorder) but for some reason I love watching booktubers talk about horror stories. it satisfies the curiosity about the books without having to traumatize myself 😅

Any Man was such a glowing five star for me. Also, the strange and fluctuating way the villain was described was genuinely terrifying.

From Sisterhood of Traveling Pants to Any Man. Amber is a Jack of all trades. But it sounds like something an adult Tibby might write.

@brittanysettle Жыл бұрын

I absolutely would watch more videos like this - I think any genre would be a fun watch, but there’s something about finding new horror that hits differently. I do have a recommendation that I think you might genuinely enjoy, but I’m only partway through, so I’ll have a better opinion on it soon, but At Home with the Horrors by Sammy Scott is a novel with 14 short horror stories! Also thank you for putting Any Man on my radar - I think it will be a very tough read but also very important, so I’ll be picking this up soon 🖤

I loved House of Hunger! I did see it as more of a dark fantasy then a horror. I thought it was so interesting to learn that blood skeeves you out. I don't have that issue so I liked the different perspective on how some of the scenes made you feel.

From hearing you talk about Any Man (which I immediately added to my tbr), I think you might enjoy Before You Knew My Name by Jacqueline Bublitz. Read it a few weeks back and the way it made me feel ugghhh! It wasn't a perfect 5 star for me but I believe it too had a lot of solid conversation starters and really gets you to think more.

Back in my younger days, I used to watch daytime soaps mainly to see Amber tamblyn. She was also in a fantastic thriller called spiral.
