Omg the last house on needless street is definitely one of the top thrillers I’ve ever read or is it horror lol. What a wonderfully written book with twists until the very end. I read it last summerween and I still think about it!

Wow these Recommendations were amazing! Thank you so much! Not so perfect strangers amazing! Their vicious games was a pleasant surprise! Killers of a certain age was wonderful! And now I’m getting ready to read sign here. You have great tastes in thrillers👏 I’ve recently enjoyed you’re not supposed to die here and the sundown motel.

Eat it ❌ Read it ✅

THE REALL THRILLERS I SEE NOW ARE IN PALESTINE SO I JUST NEED TO SAY FREE PALESTINE

I have my twisted series on the same floating shelf 🤣

I love thrillers and summerween!!!

Video about the Good and Bad of Storygraph next !!?

I gave up on Goodreads eventually because I was using both Goodreads and StoryGraph and I just CANNOT DEAL with the UI and the design that looks like it hasn’t been updated since 2006. Basically every issue you’ve mentioned, StoryGraph does better, but you obviously already know that 😆 I do, however, have one single gripe about StoryGraph: I can’t comment on my friends’s reads and say “wow! I like that book!” or “good luck, I really struggled with that one.”

Librarything is better than Storygraph AND Goodreads. So there!

Honestly, this year I started moving my book tracking to an online journal. I'm not even keeping track on my challenge. I feel that it's still a good tool, but honestly I don't use it much anymore

I used to spend 15 hours a week being a Goodreads librarian, correcting the database. The search is garbage, like total utter wankery it's so bad. Then they launched the new page, it's impossible to see what needs updating at a glance and I just stopped.

I want to read The Spare Room so much now !!! I love your videos from France, you made me discover so many books that I had never seen before, thank you for this amazing work !!!

Even though I don't normally read thrillers I think you convinced me to pick up some of these 🙈📖

Yes, The Good Sister! Read it recently and loved it.

I'm so glad to have found your channel - I've always loved thrillers and you are helping me find a lot of new titles to add to my TBR list. Love that you did a full videos on thrillers! Keep the reviews coming! 😁

I just finished The Echo Man. One of my favorite books of the year so far. It is fantastic!!!!

Great recs!! Thanks!! I just finished You Shouldn’t Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose 😱 wow what a twist!! Ever read it?

"you know when you just hold up a book that you love and are just so happy that it exists and are grateful you were able to read it?" that's such a lovely sentiment! and i think there's something so wonderfully comforting about hearing it in a video about thrillers-fear is our desire to feel safe, after all🧸💕 also the tragic/horrific mashup coming out as "terrific" is exactly the kind of thing my brain would do, too! 🧠✨ p.s. my favorite editing detail was was the whimsy of the car door closing sound, but the "dropping like flies" also totally spiked my heart rate! 🤌🏻

This video deserves 1 million likes 👏👏

Grimm's Puppets by Tom Prater is still one of my go-to recommendations. A thriller that shocked me, despite the end feeling like a bit of a cop-out was The Red House by Roz Watkins - I read it in one sitting because it was an easy read, and gave it 4 stars thinking I enjoyed it but won't think about it again... and I'm still thinking about it months later because of how much the end infuriated and shocked me. 😅😂 I know that doesn't like a good recommendation but it's the only way I can describe it.

Love Lisa Jewell! Need to read The House We Grew Up In! Thanks for the rec

Have you read Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth? I loved it!

Not So Perfect Strangers, An Unwanted Guest, & The Spare were immediately available, so I'll be getting to those right quickly 🤗 The Good Sister is a MUST on audiobook, narrator does such an AMAZING job bringing FERN to life 🎧 Apparently I already borrowed The House We Grew Up In but never read 🤷🏻‍♂ I will try again The Perfect Child is not available on my LIBBY... I might have to purchase on kindle

Great recommendation thank you

Storygraph is so great, I love using it. You can also import your goodreads data into storygraph

Oh gosh....this brought me back to my junior year of high school where I thought someone was waving to me (who in fact wasn't) and my car door slammed on my thumb. It was the most painful experience ever 🥲 LOVE your Summerween journal spread! I was on a vacation during the actual Summerween so I'm being doing a delayed one this week and have been making my own fun!

story graph is my BELOVED!!

Thank you for this video! I am currently building an alternative to BookReads which is 80% ready to launch that i think will fill all those gaps in bookreads.

i’m surprised you haven’t mentioned fable to the list of potential competitors to goodreads.

Great video. Totally agree.

🖤💚

I’ve tried both Goodreads and Storygraph for the social aspect and to uplift my favorite books but I’d rather use Instagram or KZfaq so I’m sure in the minority. And Amazon’s refusal to make changes because they know they have a monopoly is so scummy (love the graphic btw 😂). I keep track of my reading on Google Sheets so I don’t need an extra app for that.

That black top from Aritzia is stunning! ARITZIA SPONSOR SARA

You kinda beautiful

I only ever hear good stuff about the Calloway sisters so it kinda makes me wanna read it but at the same time I am a little scared it’ll suck because I only hear good things

Those brownies are so cute!!

I hate "My books" page with burning passion, the same passion I hate the fact that the "date read" doesn't add automatically with. I find it ridiculously hard to find a book I just marked as "read" and add the date. I also hate the fact that filtering book editions is so poor, with only one criterium: format (audiobook vs. Ebook vs. paper, I believe). How about LANGUAGE? Like, I'm Polish and I read the majority of my books in that language and finding the correct edition, especially of popular books with multiple editions in mamy languages, is a nightmare. I really don't like goodreads, don't even know why I'm still using it 😅

Best book I read for Summerween was The Eyes Are The Best Part by Monika Kim. Otherwise my success with reading was quite low.

Underdone brownies are the only good brownies

Did you listen to the audiobook for Midnight Is The Darkest Hour?? The narrator was AMAZING with her southern belle accent 🎧 I got to meet Ashley Winstead & Lucy Foley while I was in Houston this summer. I gave the book 5 stars(I'm pretty sure the narrator was a big reason) 🤷🏻‍♂

Well now I have more books that I didn’t know I needed to read 😅

You and @katieisreading made the same brownies :)

I think midnight is the darkest hour is one of the worst books ive ever read. Truly night and day from her other thriller “in my dreams i hold a knife” which is really good.

what breeds are ur rabbits?! i want one so bad just can’t decide which breed i want

It is called creepy pasta because they are copy and paste stories.

"Coffee is coffee" My mentality when it comes to coffee (yes even work's coffee is drinkable because I need to save money). I also may need to see if the UK has a gluten free brownie mix because they looked delightful.

the brownies were so fun and the music was perfect! 👻💖 also that neckline on the piece from artizia on you literally made my chest feel tight! 🫢✨ and the sweats actually looked so comfy, and then the 'hones-tea' totally got me! i believe it that you like summerween more than halloween because the vibes were so cozy and nice, and really i appreciate how much energy you put into connecting with the feelings that make you feel you! 🦋🫶🏻✨ on a more serious note, banning books is not actually about protecting the well-being of individual readers, of course, so the banners wouldn't be worried or sympathetic if a person is traumatized by reading a thriller, for example. from my understanding, the primary interest is in banning depictions of personal emotional exploration (i believe over 90% of books that are banned talk about sexuality) which might threaten a person's attachment and commitment to current community norms, thereby negatively effecting the people invested those norms. that's why anything with "unnatural" romance can get banned, like lgbtq stuff or sarah j mass and her fae romances, because those stories can offer spaces for a person to re-interpret their emotions inside their own heads and outside the bounds, and without the say, of their prescriptive, rigid, and possessive community! i think that mindset stops stops members of a community from not only discussing the well-being of themselves as individuals, but also the well-being of the community as a whole, which i feel you represented well in that quote you shared from 'midnight is the darkest hour' when that guy was trying to intimidate ruth-so yeah, creepy and spooky and i guess perfect for summerween, and i'm so glad you talked about it! 🩷🕷️🍉✨ p.s. i think the reading journal pages came out gorgeously! 🌙✨

This video was a lot of fun Sara! Might check out Midnight Is The Darkest Hour soon!

What exactly is Summerween? Is it books taken place in the summer or is it mostly horror books that are highly recommended?

I also didn’t love the last house on needless street. I was so bored and confused the whole time.
