Hi Josie🧛♀️📚🎄❄️, greetings again from Toronto 🇨🇦. I hope you are well. Another video! You are indefatigable! Four of your books are already in my TBR notebook, but I did get a few new titles. I really enjoyed Kill Creek, too. Have a spooky Christmas!
lol! thank you! love making the videos 😀🖤📚 loved kill creek! let me know what others you read and what you thought. it’s supposed to get very rainy and cold here end of the week so perfect reading conditions 🖤
Hellosky. I also loved The Sundown Motel. Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦
love that one! definitely reading more of her books next year! 🖤📚
I love this book! ❤ Read it more than a decade ago and still remember a good chunk of the plot. I would love to re-read it someday, but currently I cannot find the physical copy that I once had. Such a pity.
Amazing! I now want to re read as well! I always think that if you remember a book months and years later it’s a good one happy reading! 📚
Your videos are always outstanding! Incredible and inspiring books! Brilliant reviews as always 👍🏻
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed, can’t wait for these books to come out 😀📚
@josiethereadingwitch2224 exactly can't wait too and I'll buy these books 📚😊. I wish you a wonderful Sunday Josie!
Oooh A Cruel Thirst! Buffy meets Zorro meets P&P?? 😮 Yes please! 😆
Yes!! How amazing does that sound 😀have to get my hands on it! 📚🖤🧛
that background is amazing.
Thank you!! I’m adding some more seasonal cheer at the moment!! 😀📚🖤
Absolutely inspiring and incredible books! Your book collection is always brilliant 👍🏻
Thank you so much!! 😀📚🖤
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor is incredible, one of my all-time faves. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on the other two books in the series, because the world Taylor created is so expansive and imaginative it made me like 🤯 Total literary perfection imo 🤩😍
Now I’m even more hyped to get back into it!! I do remember loving the world and writing in the 1st book 🖤 happy reading!! 📚
Absolutely incredible and inspiring fantasy and horror books! Your reviews are always outstanding! Fabulous books👍🏻
Thank you so much! 😀📚
Your book collection is absolutely outstanding and incredible! And the fantasy books actually inspiring to read! Brilliant video👍🏻
Thank you! I love collecting these books, my favourite hobby! 😀📚
@josiethereadingwitch2224 I can understand that and it's a brilliant hobby you have! I love collecting these books too! 😄📚 I wish you a wonderful day today!
You too! 😀
Spooky Little Book Nerd liked Quicksilver as well; check out her review.
I’ll check that review out! 200 pages in and I’m absolutely loving it so far!! 🖤😀
Hares are trouble in folklore. Familiars of witches sent to spy. Or sometimes the witch transforms herself into a hare to steal milk. (Cows' or mother's milk) I haven't read Pine but if you've read Starve Acre there is a scene that last bit of folklore applies. Rabbits are chill in comparison.
Hi Josie 🧛♀️🌨️❄️🎄, greetings again from Toronto. I love the AGAs. Some great categories and winners. Immortal Dark is especially appealing and this is the second time you’ve recommended A Haunting on the Hill, so I’d better get it from my library. Congratulations on such a professional job! Love the lobster earring BTW. Take care and good reading to you.
Thank you so much! I loved doing this and will definitely do it again 😀 the earrings are a favourite!! Let me know if you do read them, can’t wait for book 2 of immortal dark next year 🧛🖤 happy reading! 🖤📚
Absolutely incredible and brilliant book haul! Inspiring reviews and outstanding video 👍🏻
Thank you so much! Can’t wait to read them all 😀📚🖤
@josiethereadingwitch2224 oh that's actually super! I hope I'll buy new books on my Birthday this month! 😊🖤📚❤
Thank you! 😀📚
I just cracked open The Dead of Winter! Thank you for sharing!
Awesome, hope you like it! 🖤📚

Hi Josie 🧛♀️📚❄️🌨️, Christmas greetings from Toronto 🇨🇦. Hope you are well. You obviously survived Storm Darragh. What a mess! Believe it or not, I’ve put most of your titles in my TBR notebook. Unfortunately, Crow Moon is not available at my library. I found out The Ice Coven is part of a series as you said and my library has all four of them! A winter-feel/thriller/horror novel that I just finished was Ararat by Christopher Golden. Have a great Christmas and good reading to you. P.S. I love And Then There Were None as well.
Excellent! I want to read that whole series as well so need to check out if mine has them 😀 I am adding the Christopher Golden to my list! SAME! And then there were none is the best! Happy reading 🖤📚❄️
Nice video. I got some book titel that have not seen on my other booktube videos I am watching. Yes, Stalking Jack the Reaper....🙀 on my TBR😄
😀 thank you! I can’t wait to continue that series, it was so atmospheric and fun . Happy reading 🖤📚
The Castle ....one is on my TBR. I believe I read 2 chapters and liked it very much. That is tge one with a girl and parents and train and talking spanish, yes?
Yes it is. I really liked it , was a different take on vampires and loved the Spanish setting. Let me know what you think when you’re finished 🖤📚
@josiethereadingwitch2224 The fact that there are vampire is a spoiler as I haven't goten sooo far in the book 😅 Let see how are they presented on the page. I liked the atmosphere in the chapter at the start.
Oh no! It was on the synopsis so sorry to spoil that for you! 🖤📚
Fantasy and horror absolutely inspiring books! Your reviews are always outstanding! And your hair style is great 👍🏻
Thank you! I change my hair style and colour so much! It’s fun to look back at all the different styles 😂 🖤
@josiethereadingwitch2224 that's actually great change hair colour is fun yes I understand it 😊😂🖤. But Josie, your original hair colour is blonde or black? Because i love your this blonde hair colour style very much! It's very beautiful for you especially your eyes are beautiful!
It’s actually dark but I’m so pale so blonde works too 😂🖤
@@josiethereadingwitch2224 nothing to worry about your skin tone! It's absolutely beautiful your skin! Dark hair is great! But both dark hair and blonde hair great for you! You are actually kind heart! 😊❤
Your videos are absolutely inspiring and incredible! Brilliant books 👍🏻
You made my day! Thank you so much 😀🖤📚
@josiethereadingwitch2224 oh you are actually kind heart! I wish you a wonderful weekend! Are you a teacher or film 🎬 director? Because your book collection is outstanding!
You too! Enjoy 🖤 no sadly I work in a corporate environment but would love to do something more in the arts as that’s where my passion is. Maybe one day! 🤞🏻
@@josiethereadingwitch2224 Thank you so much Josie! That's great and I'll pray for your dreams come true! You have a brilliant talent! Love watching your great videos!
I hope you enjoy it!
So excited!! Cannot wait 😀🖤
Hi Josie 🧛♀️📚. Hope you are well. Another great video, and so many this month. You really are tireless! When Among Crows is going in my TBR notebook, and even though you waffled a bit on it, so is An Education in Malice. Thanks for the upload and your dedication to the horror genre.
Hope you love them!! Let me know what you think, happy reading!! 🖤📚
Brilliant video 👍🏻
Thank you 🖤
Very much enjoying these December uploads! You are doing a wonderful job with them!
Thank you so much! I’m having so much fun and glad you are enjoying them 🖤 happy December reading!!
I always love your outfits but this one is extra stunning!!! And the accessories…🤩 You look beautiful!! Thanks for this list, a good handful I am going to check out!!!
Thank you!!!! 😀🖤 let me know what you think if you do try some! I’ll be doing a winners video soon 🏆🖤
Josie 🧛♀️ presents the 2024 TRW Awards 📚 (The Reading Witch) for your viewing pleasure. I love the idea. Quite a few nominations. Haunting on the Hill, Road of Bones, and Gothikana are all going into my TBR notebook. As well as Jennifer Thorne’s Diavola (really enjoyed her novel Lute). When are the presentations?
Excellent choices!! I haven’t read Lute!! You have added to my TBR 🤣 I’ll be doing a winners video soon, was going to check when goodreads announced theirs and do it around the same time 🏆🖤📚
I definitely prefer your version of awards! I read Long Live Evil after watching one of your videos a few weeks ago, and really enjoyed it.
Amazing! So glad you liked it! It’s such a favourite and hardly hear people talking about it so any opportunity I can get to hype it I take! 🤣🖤📚
Hi Josie 🧛♀️📚, greetings again from Toronto 🇨🇦. I hope you are well. That’s quite a book haul! You’ll need a T.A.R.D.I.S. to store your towering library! Take care and have a creepy Christmas season.
🤣 yes it’s getting pretty crazy in here! How is Toronto, are you expecting snow for Christmas? Never happens here! 🖤📚
@@josiethereadingwitch2224We’re expecting some snow today (2 storms) and then rain next week. We haven’t had a white Christmas in years. Oh, well.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed it happens this year for you! 🖤lots of rain and storms here so perfect reading weather 😂
Are you running out of space yet? Don't get me wrong, I love a good book haul so I hope you get to read them so we can hear your thoughts!
lol! Almost at capacity, need to open a bookstore soon!
@josiethereadingwitch2224 😁
Hi Josie, greetings again from Toronto 🇨🇦. I hope you are well. I agree, one day we will break down your door and find you buried under a pile of books. What a way to die! As an EAP fan, The Raven’s Tale looks especially interesting to me. Christmas/winter season usually has me re-reading Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and a spooky/winter feel horror novel called Ghost Story by Peter Straub. Have a spooky Christmas and we’ll talk again soon…
🤣🤣 agreed it is my preferred exit!! Nothing like some spooky Christmas reads, I will need to check out the Peter Straub book 🖤 happy spooky Christmas to you!! 🖤🧛🥱
How are you doing for space, Josie? I can just about still see patches of my carpet. 😆❤
🤣 oh it’s bad!! Seriously I am going to be buried in an avalanche of books soon!! But it’s worth it!!! Hope all is good with you🖤📚
@@josiethereadingwitch2224 Yes, thanks. Getting paid in the morning, so will resume making things even worse!
🤣 oh yes… my excuse was double points stamps!!
Hi! Thank You for these recommendations. I read the Sonja Blue Stories Ages ago, a trade paperback, three books in one, but I can’t find my copy. Too many moves. I did a massive re-reading of Anita Blake this summer and I loved it! I think some years ago I stopped at the Harlequin, because I got annoyed at Anita. She didn’t seem to grow and seemed to make the same mistakes over and over again. But that changed. In the newer books she really thinks about herself and her relationships and she goes to therapy. I enjoyed it. I read the Dead until Dark (True Blood) Series by Charlaine Harris at the same time as Laurell K. Hamilton, so I had to reread them as well. Thanks again!
I have been craving a re-read of Anita so definitely looking forward to the newer ones as well! Those series were the best! Happy reading!!! 🖤😀🧛
Yay i added some stuff to my tbr. I love vampires.❤ also, i was trying to read fantasy but i found it hard to do without any horror elements so hopefully these interest me.
So glad you found some you like! Love to hear what you think when you get to them 🖤🧛📚
Oh lucy and mina are shipped in this? Maybe i can get into it. Im a fan of Stoker's version mostly and i did definitely see the potential for that ship.
They are 🖤 it’s a great take on it. Also just read Dracula my love, which is essentially retelling Dracula from Mina’s perspective and adding a love story between Mina and Dracula 🖤
@josiethereadingwitch2224 lol noooo. the coppola effect. 😭 not my cuppa tea
😂 ok fair!!
Not sure if it got hate for the story or something else, but I also enjoyed Lightlark 😊
So glad you loved it too! such a fun ride! Definitely reading the next 2 books before the end of the year! 🖤
I love your whole aesthetic and your shirt…. Ahhh!!! Love it!!!
Thank you so much!! My Chem is an all time favourite band 😀🖤🖤📚
You're so cool!
Thank you! 🖤
You always cheer me up, Josie. Kudos for being you.
Thank you so much!! 🖤 I was so excited about these🤣
Excellent wrap up! 🖤 Gotta pick up The Thirteenth Child based on that review because that gothic atmosphere gets me every time too!! ✨✨
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed. Highly recommended it! It was so beautiful and unexpected 🖤 let me know what you think!
Hi MJ. 🧛♀️ Greetings from Toronto again 🇨🇦. I guess now that I know your name I’ll have to start calling you Josie!. Thanks for the video and some interesting titles. I must say Gothikana, Starling House and Blood Over Bright Haven seem of particular interest and will go into my TBR notebook. I must disagree with you about All Hallows however. That was a DNF for me; I didn’t find the plot or characters interesting at all. It’s funny because I really enjoyed Christopher Golden’s Road of Bones a few months ago. Oh well, we can’t agree on everything. Have a great day and stay out of the sun…
Lol! We can definitely agree to disagree! I love how art hits with different people to me the worst crime is bored indifference 😱 Canada I on by bucket list of places to visit! It looks so beautiful 🖤 happy reading and let me know what you think of them 😀📚🖤
Hey Josie. I've recently finished my 4th novel (a vampire-themed horror), and been looking on UA-cam for book reviewers, to see if any would be interested in reading an advanced copy. Would it be something you'd be interested in? Thanks!
Definitely always up for a new vampire book in my life! 🖤 congratulations on the book!
@josiethereadingwitch2224 Thanks! 🙂 It's in the process of being formatted - so not quite ready for release yet. Would a PDF file be okay for you? If I could email it over.
Although I don't think you can put email's in the comments. Is there another way? Like Instagram I can send a file over?
If you haven’t read the lesser dead it’s a great one.
Yes! I have it’s so good! Such a different take! Loved it 🖤🧛
As ever, Josie, I adore your enthusiasm - and impatience with keeping the same hair colour. ❤
🤣🤣 literally should be banned from hair dye section at Boots!! Thank you! So much !! So glad you enjoy the videos 🖤🖤
Hello fellow vampire fiction lover! Interview of the vampire is my fav film, I've been meaning to read the book. My vamp love started with Buffy! I've also been loving playing with Astarian is Balders Gate 3. Highly recommend.
Amazing! Fellow Buffy super fan!! 😀🖤🧛 I’ve just got into the new Interview series and it’s good! Thank you for the recommendation will check it out🖤
Oh Josie, I'm sorry to hear how bad things got for you. As someone who'd listen to Joy Division to cheer himself up, I can relate. It's an occupational hazard of having a creative mind. And you're right, Simon Marsden's photo books are great and, fortunately, still relatively cheap secondhand. I've made a note of a couple of your recommendations. I can also recommend a few for you on the vampire theme.
Thank you 🖤 it’s The Cure for me lol! But Joy D is awesome too 🖤 happy vampire reading! I’ve started already and loving it🧛
Hi MJ 🧛♀️, hope you are well. Love the T-shirt, one of my favourites! Another great video as usual, more titles for my TBR notebook. Good reading to you and stay out of the sunlight!
Thank you so much! Happy reading to you, can’t wait to sink my teeth into these books.. sorry terrible joke I couldn’t resist! 🤣🖤
How to Sell A Haunted House is absolutely not worth it. DNFing it was a wise decision. What is that edition of Starling House?? Each and every paperback one I've found has the ugly "Reese's Book Club!!" unremovable sticker on it.
lol! Thank you! Glad I m not the only one that feels that way 🖤 The edition is from Waterstones, they picked it as their fantasy book of the month. Massive pet peeve of mine is stickers and promotional blurbs!! So much creativity goes into beautiful covers and then they go and ruin it.. 😱🖤
I was so delighted to see Lost Souls as your number 1 pick! Definitely makes me feel we could have similar tastes; I'll have to check out the books not by Brite on this list
It’s in my top three books of all time! So glad to find a fellow fan 😀🖤 November and December are going to be a massive vampire book marathon for me so I’ll have lots of videos 🧛 Do you also like Nancy A Collins? Sunglasses after dark is so good! 🖤
You look great in that cossy - and I'll be checking out Daisy Johnson's new one ('The Hotel') soon. A personal favourite among haunted house novels is 'Malpertuis' by Jean Ray. Genuinely strange, but pacey and perfectly accessible, (always a good combo), especially in its English translation.
