Hi Helene, so glad you love Karin Slaughter. I also love mysteries and plot twists. Another author you might want to check out would be Mo Hayder. I heard that Karin Slaughter also loves to read her books and that's how I came to know about her. Mo Hayder is a fantastic author! Anyway so good to see you again on UA-cam. Hope you stay safe and enjoy all your books!
So glad you enjoyed The Dutch House - I loved it. I'm curious to read The Most Fun We Ever Had too but it is quite long. I wonder if it would be better on audiobook. And I'm looking forward to The Glass Hotel as well. Sounds like a really good line up of books - hope you enjoy them!
I'm so happy that you're regularly uploading new videos :). btw, may I know where the rest of your bookshelves/book collection? have you decluttered them?
Hi, Helene, thank you for sharing, I know NONE of these books, I’m not into horror, only a tiny bit into thrillers, so... but I picked out two interesting names: Ann Pratchett and Claire Lombardo and will do some research. Haha, how I missed that: listening twice to a video, first listening, then again, grabbing the next pencil and a newspaper and scribble some names on the edge of it😁📝... let us know, whether and how you liked the read ones. Love from Germany, stay healthy, Monika❣️
Oh, what a nice surprise! I didn't realize you have made a few videos this year. So wonderful to hear that lovely voice again and listen to your commentary.
I love your videos so much! I think we have quite same reading tastes and it helps me a great deal to know what books you want to read and the books you loved....Helps me decide what should I pick up next. Your videos just make me love reading more. Thank you so much 😊😊🥰🥰
Thank you for another video! I remember that you enjoyed The Butcher's Hook and I've been meaning to pick it up. Now I'll have two Janet Ellis books to read. Incidentally I'm a big Sophie Ellis-Bextor fan!
So glad to know I'm not the only one who couldn't connect with Three Women, I understood why it was so acclaimed, but for me personally, it didn't strike me as incredible or life-changing, which was what I was expecting. I knew half of these books and they all sounded so intriguing, I took a particular interest in The Most Fun We Ever Had cause I too am big on big books with a lot of character development and the one by Grady Hendrix. Thank you for sharing and good luck with getting around to reading all of them!!
Thanks for the new books recommendation my tbr will be over the top this month and you will love the pretty girls by Karin Slaughter it will give you utterly nightmares. Stay safe Helene 😊
What great recommendations! I just ordered The Glass Hotel from Amazon and they say it won't arrive until April 22 because they are prioritizing other orders ahead of mine due to the COVID-19 situation.
Recursion was the first book I read in 2020 and it was very stressful! It was a very good book, but my nerves can't take a second read. It's not about mindreaders, but about memories. Very suspenseful.
I read "Lock Every Door" and it's outstanding! This is a book you have to make yourself stop reading when there's something else that you have to be doing. It's about being a house-sitter in New York and get things really creepy. I used to house-sit for people, staying in their homes and looking after the pets while the owners were away, so this book especially interested me.---Speaking of vampires, I once read an anthology of vampire stories and one of them was written by Edith Wharton who is known for American classics such as "The House of Mirth", "The Age of Innocence" and the famous short story "Roman Spring". I've been looking for the title of the vampire story and when I find it I'll let you know.
I was looking if you posted yesterday, glad you are here today. I am reading a bunch of books by Tami Hoag, she writes about horrific crime ( murder) kind of gruesome description of murder scenes but good. Good character study always and always with a surprise conclusion. They run about 400-500 pages but you can't put it down it's so enthralling, and you think you know the murderer but you are always ( well, I always) am surprised. These are fiction by the way. See you soon and take care. 🌻 💕
I'm enjoying your videos but I have to disagree with you on My Sister the Serial Killer. I loved it - but I listened to it on audiobook and the Nigerian narrator really made it.
That's not a silly question! I do have a full-time job, but I think it all depends on how you prioritize your free time. I often prefer to read instead of watching TV, for instance... It's also a great way for me to relax my head after I've been looking at a screen all day.
Helene Jeppesen cool. I respect normal. I am not normal so I like that. I’m a mercury retrograde in Sagittarius so writing is kind of my thing. Mostly my thing. It is my thing but since it’s a lot of people’s thing I try to share. Mentally. Anyway. Thanks.
Thank you for uploading so much! It makes this whole self quarantine situation a little bit easier
I’ve always found your videos incredibly soothing. Thank you for coming back to UA-cam in these trying times.

You are my favourite booktuber Helene and I am really happy that you started uploading content again. Regards from Germany . 🎈
Amazing stuff. Love your voice ❤️💯

Hey Helene, glad you and Zeus🐱 are keeping well and occupied these days. The Scythe Series is on my TBR for this year (!) 🥀
Oh, what a nice surprise! I didn't realize you have made a few videos this year. So wonderful to hear that lovely voice again and listen to your commentary.
So glad you're making videos again 🥰
Nice to have you back, I hope you enjoy the newest books you want to read.

I read Astonish Me. I loved it, but I was a dancer and I love a ballet contemporary fiction. It's up there as a favourite now.
I couldn't click on this fast enough!! So Happy to see you and see you are well!!

I’m currently half way through The Most Fun We Ever Had and I’m loving it! I think you’ll enjoy it too. I loved the Dutch House as well!
Happy reading! 😊
I am not so keen on ballet as you are, but Robert Altman's movie 'The Company' is a treat
I loved 'The last time I lied' by Riley Sager a bit more than 'Lock every door' by him. The 'twists' just blew me away.
Thanks for the new books recommendation my tbr will be over the top this month and you will love the pretty girls by Karin Slaughter it will give you utterly nightmares.
Stay safe Helene 😊
Great list of books. I also liked Dark Matter by Blake Crouch but thought Recursion was even more interesting. Hope you like it as well.
If you like dance/ballet movies, you should watch Let's Dance on Netflix. I just watched it and I really like it. ☺️
Thanks! I'll definitely check out that one.
What great recommendations! I just ordered The Glass Hotel from Amazon and they say it won't arrive until April 22 because they are prioritizing other orders ahead of mine due to the COVID-19 situation.
Loved this 😊

Bonne journée !
Scythe is great! I really enjoyed that and also Recursion.
Yess I also want to finish the Scythe trilogy!

I've read Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter and yes it is good. I seem to remember finding myself astonished at the sleezy depravity of one character
Karin Slaughter is always amazing 😉
I really liked Recursion! And yes, it is very yellow 😉
I'm enjoying your videos but I have to disagree with you on My Sister the Serial Killer. I loved it - but I listened to it on audiobook and the Nigerian narrator really made it.
I'm intrigued by The Glass Hotel, but I haven't read anything by Emily St John Mandel.
I have a silly question. How do you find time to read so much? Do you not work? I have a full time job and hardly find time to read.
That's not a silly question! I do have a full-time job, but I think it all depends on how you prioritize your free time. I often prefer to read instead of watching TV, for instance... It's also a great way for me to relax my head after I've been looking at a screen all day.

Where is Zeus?
Zeus is Helene's cat. He makes appearances here and there in her videos.
I m here for your voice...
Too much horror!
