Awesome video! I have a lot of anticipated releases in October. I loved The Only Good Indians and Misery is such a great read. Glad you read lots of great books so far and I hope the second half is just as great! ❤️
@@Libraryofamoodreader Thank you for watching! Good to see I’m not the only one who liked The Only Good Indians. So many people just didn’t connect with it.
@@spookylittlebooknerd There are definitely a lot of mixed for it! I feel like it’s not talked about enough anymore. I was glad to see you give it love!!
Great video! Sounds like excellent horror coming out in future and love some of the covers. You've read some great books so far. I loved Misery and Elizabeth sounds intriguing. I have been wanting to read The Only Good Indians for a while now.
Yup, I also DNF a book before it becomes a two or one star. Love that you do it too. Life’s too short to read books you don’t like! Okay literally every anticipated read you talked about I am so stoked for!! Bloom is a dark cottagecore dream 😍 Ooo okay I will be cautious about the Carrow Haunt. I’ve been slowly making my way through her backlit but eek, you hated it haha. Oh no, you won’t read anything else by her?????? 😢 I get that. Not every author is for everyone. I just really love how she does atmosphere!
@@happyhauntslibrary It’s possible that the only two Darcy Coates books I picked up were just not the ones. I’m open to suggestions if there are others that may shock me. Just the two I read didn’t. I just can’t say why without spoilers. Atmosphere is something she really does very well. I agree with you on that and it is something I enjoy. If you do read The Carrow Haunt I’d be curious what you think. I sound super picky but it was mutual between 5 of us on that one. Lol. However, if it’s atmosphere you want…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. It had that for sure!
Yay for DNFing books! There are so many books we want to read, so why suffer through a book that we're not enjoying? So many good books coming out this year! I'm currently reading an arc of Lucy Undying. I'm liking it, but it's taking me a while to get through it. The Misery movie adaptation is really good.
@spookylittlebooknerd I have an ebook arc and I just keep forgetting about it or prioritizing other books. Also, it has multiple POVs & I'm not really feeling invested in any of them. I'm about 34 percent into it and honestly haven't read it in probably a couple of weeks. I think it's a me thing
Awesome video! 👏🧡 you've made me add so many books to my tbr 😂 You should definitely check out the Misery movie! It's one of my favorite book to movie adaptations.
@@spookylittlebooknerd YES to all those! Mr. Mercedes trilogy was pretty good. Shining and Doctor Sleep was good but I'm not sure why it's as hyped as it is. IT was the rare one that the 1990s tv movie was better than the book. Under the Dome was terrible and Everything's Eventual is not good so far (current read).
@@theokiereader The Shining is the next one I want to read. I won’t watch the movie until I read it. IT is one that I’ve seen the movie when I was a kid but still haven’t read the book. 🫣 I’m slowly making my way through all of these.
I read Stalking Jack the Ripper last year, and I had multiple issues with it as well! For me, the ending was predictable, and the author's lack of knowledge/research about historical clothes irked me greatly.
@@rachellangella8595 The ending was my biggest issue too. Predictable and also didn’t make any sense in some ways that I can’t say without spoilers. So many issues! 😂
Self-Made Monsters looks and sounds pretty good. Fang Fiction looks interesting. I just saw Lucy Undying advertised last night. The film (Misery) is really good; I need to read the book someday. Stalking Jack the Ripper sounds interesting, unfortunate it repeats so much. What was the first Darcy Coats you read? I don't know if I said this the last time it was mentioned but Walking Practice sounds funny and crazy. So far, my favourite book for the year is Against the Darkness, with a few fairly close behind.
My first Darcy Coates was Dead of Winter. It was dark and gory which was nice. Definitely kept me on the edge of my seat but I guess the killer right away which was a bummer. Walking Practice is freaking wild! I loved it! Like I mentioned in my original review, there’s more to it than just surface level. It was a fun one. I’m definitely looking into Against the Darkness! 🖤
@@spookylittlebooknerd I'll have to add Walking Practice to my wishlist. I haven't read any of Darcy Coats killer books, just her ghosty gothics, I'll have to check one of them out and see what I think.
Thank you for the kind words about Chasing The Dragon. Reformo appreciates your support :)
@@marktowse5667 You’re welcome! 🖤
Your background scenery is amazing, what a set you have created - incredible! Very enjoyable discussion.
@@apoetreadstowrite Thank you!
I love how you made the mid-year check-in your own. Your videos are always such a joy to watch. 🖤
@@DarkVioletDreams Thank you!
You’re doing great on this mid year on reading ! I still need to read that book Misery , I absolutely loved the movie 🍿
@@badrad9226 Thank you! I still haven’t seen the movie but I hear it’s good. People tell me the book hits different. I’d definitely recommend it.

@@literarylove123 You got an ARC of Lucy Undying? Lucky! Why do you think it’s taking a bit to get through it? Is it just a slow read?
@spookylittlebooknerd I have an ebook arc and I just keep forgetting about it or prioritizing other books. Also, it has multiple POVs & I'm not really feeling invested in any of them. I'm about 34 percent into it and honestly haven't read it in probably a couple of weeks. I think it's a me thing
@@literarylove123 That makes sense. I struggle with ebooks. I always end up prioritizing physical books too.
Awesome video! 👏🧡 you've made me add so many books to my tbr 😂
You should definitely check out the Misery movie! It's one of my favorite book to movie adaptations.
@@the_eclectic_book_witch Thank you! Happy to add to your TBR. 😂 I definitely want to check out the movie. I may wait for winter for the vibes.
I've been making my way through Stephen Kings works and I have found that I'm not a fan of most of his works but Misery is a great one!
@@theokiereader I struggle with his newer stuff and especially his super rambly ones. Misery is so good! I love Carrie a lot too and The Green Mile.
@@spookylittlebooknerd YES to all those! Mr. Mercedes trilogy was pretty good. Shining and Doctor Sleep was good but I'm not sure why it's as hyped as it is.
