- In today's video I read spooky thriller books for a week. With spooky season coming to a close, I wanted to read some spooky thrillers that fit the mood. Reading thrillers is something I'm new too, so this was an exciting, thrilling week. Stick around to see which books I read, and what I thought about them. Thank you for stopping by!

The intimate reading associates is epic 😂😂
It was great to watch someone else read Hidden Pictures. All of your reactions made me smile. If you want one with twists and cliffhangers at the end of each chapter, you should read “The One” by John Marrs.
Holy crap that books sounds good! Just read the synopsis on Goodreads! New addition to the TBR! Thank you!!
Your facial expressions and roller-coaster emotions are hilarious!!! Such fun to watch!!
Heck yea ANOTHER VIDEOOOOOOO!!!! You love to see it . Right in time for spooky season . Love the spooky vibes . Always a pleasure to see you doing your thing Ian . Much love brother ❤
Much love my man!! Hope you’re doing well! Always glad to see your comments!!
Rock Paper Scissors has been one of my favorite reads (if not my favorite read) of this year! Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s so good! I still can’t stop thinking about aspects of that book!
I loved the music!!!!
Happy anniversary to you and Ashlynn! And many, many blessings and prayers for many more years full of happy moments and memories.
Thank you so much!! Been an incredible two years married (almost seven together) with that little lady!!
So happy to get the spooky reads I don't dare to read through you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed Hidden Pictures! I had so much fun with it and it was a wild ride. I went ahead and downloaded Dark Matter and Rock, Paper, Scissors so I can listen to the audiobooks. The way you talked about them made me want to read them too. And I hope you and Ashlynn had a great anniversary together!
Thank you so much!! We had a fun time! And you won’t regret those books! Solid solid reads!!
Loving the content!!! Super cool getting to see you dive into a different genre :) So excited for what you and Ashlynn have in store for us
Thank you so much!! What’s coming up is going to be so fun!!
Love the music in the background so scary. Hope all your books keep you intrigued. Tfs happy reading
Thank you!! I hope the same for you!!
Rock Paper Scissors is one of my favorite books of all time and watching you reading it is everything I needed today 🙏🏼🤌🏻
Awww thank you!! That book was such a pleasant surprise. It was everything I wanted in my first adult thriller novel!
This time of year just sucks any reading motivation out of me. These videos really help, I often read as I watch these and feel like i have a reader friend : )
That is so sweet!! Glad this video could help. Reading slumps stink.
the spooky music made this video that much better, love it!!!
Thank you! It took days to find the right music for this project.
OMGGGG I can’t wait to watch this 😭
Looking forward to picking up these !!
I love thrillers so much! Hidden pictures was definitely a wild ride. Also I'm loving the man bun! ❤
Thank you!!
Great soundtrack! Scary!
I'm currently in the midst of reading Hidden Pictures, and I absolutely loved watching your reactions! I look forward to your next upload. Take care guys x
Thank you so much!! You take care as well! I hope you love Hidden Pictures!!
I have dark matter on my list to get at some point I should buy it and read it! happy anniversary! you guys are so fun!
Thank you so much!! And YES!! Dark Matter was insane! It’s a must read, I am telling you!!
what a great video! make me laugh a few times for sure!
I read Hidden Pictures in a vlog we posted last month. That book was SO crazy! I didn't have Dark Matter on my radar, but now I do. You have convinced me.
You won’t regret it!! It’s so so good!
Love Love the music!
Rock paper scissors was so amazing. Not many thriller can get to me. But it was one of very few of them
Also Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney was such a great thriller too. You may get attached to characters which is rare in a thirller book.
I liked your video before I even watched it. Always good.
yay your back!!! I feel like its been a while!
It’s been too long!
So fun to watch your reactions to these books, I have Dark Matter in my TBR and really hope I can squeeze it in soon. As I mentioned in Ash's video when she read Rock, Paper, Scissors, I'd like to recommend you read Daisy Darker also by that author, I had a blast with it 😊
That is now added to my list, so thank you!! And Dark Matter….SUCH A GOOD BOOK!! It exceeded my expectations!
Whoo hooo! New video! Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn is not only my favourite thriller, but also one of my favourite books of all time in general. Can highly recommend!
Hope you're doing well dude and don't let the channel stress you out, post what you want and when you want- we'll be here!
That means a lot, truly! Thank you so much! And thank you for the new thriller rec. I will be checking that out soon!
Found your channel earlier this week & have been working my way through all your vids…safe to say my list of books I wants has doubled since then…🤭
Your expressions while you’re reading! Love it. I am going to start Hidden Figures now. I am so intrigued. Thank you for another great vlog! ❤❤
Thank you so much!!! It’s such a pleasure posting for amazing people as yourself! Hidden Pictures is insane! You’re going to love it!!
Hidden Figures is an Amazing movie..... Taraji is great in it
Enjoyable reading vlog. I have to try thrillers again another season cause I couldn't get into any of them but enjoyed some mystery ones.
Thrillers are definitely a mood read I have discovered. It’s a lot always reading something that intense all the time!
Rock paper scissors is so good! Her other books are also good and even darker!
So excited for the new video! I hope you'll read house across the lake by Riley sager soon. I couldn't put it down, I read it 3 days which was a first for me!
I will be reading that one soon for a fun blog coming up!!
New Subscriber😁 I love the way you edit! Will be adding Rock, Paper, Scissors to my tbr since you and your wife liked it!
Hey, welcome!! So happy you’re here! And thank you!! Editing is my favorite part of the creative process, so I am overjoyed !
You will not regret reading Rock Paper Scissors!
dark matter has been on my list for a while, this made me want to drop everything and read it now!
It’s so freaking good!!!
Now, you have convinced me to read Dark Matter!
You won’t regret it!
Appreciate all your reactions! I’d recommend The Nothing Man by Catherine Ryan Howard, just check the synopsis, unique premise.
Just added that to the TBR! Thank you!!
I saw *the* blooper on Ashlynn's video before watching yours, super happy it was included in her thriller vlog too! I loved Hidden Pictures! Did NOT see that twist coming! But I'm also really awful at guessing how thrillers will end!
I recommend The Only One Left by Riley Sager!!
I was so happy she left that in there! That made the two videos go well together. I have definitely added Riley Sager books to the TBR! Very excited!
I was on the fence about picking up Dark Matter but you convinced me!
You won’t regret it!!
That Ashlyn Caylee channel is amazing as is this one. Whoever her husband is hit the lottery 😉. You two have quickly become my 2 fav people to watch and so happy you found each other if ever their was a perfect match its you two.
Watching these videos for the first time as I just got back into reading after a long hiatus. Its funny I never realized how deep we as humans breathe when reading 😆 its on every booktubers channel so just something I never realized until it was recorded
Nothing better than a messed-up. crazy, twisty psychological thriller!🤪
Too true!! They’re so much fun to read!
Your facial expressions pair perfectly with the music you chose. 😂
I enjoyed Dark Matter so much. Weird thing I added it on my tbr and a few days later I found it at the thriftstore. So I had to buy it and read it duh! AND IT GAVE ME NIGHTMARES !
It did!?!? I could see where it would give people nightmares! It’s intense!
@@iangubeli😂😅 I might also be a tad bit sensitive but yeah
Hidden Pictures has been on my TBR for so long lol, yet I never seem to get to it. As I said on the video where Ashlynn read Dark Matter, I wish I'd heard your summary of it before I read it. I already knew the twist and didn't realize that it was supposed to be a twist until halfway through the book. I think I'd have liked it so much better not knowing, though admittedly spoilers are not usually an issue for me. Love your energy and your videos, definitely subscribing.
I hate it when I know the twist (or guess) it prematurely. I don’t whether it’s just poor writing on the authors part, or my brain just trying to be twenty steps ahead because it thinks it’s smart😂
Yo! Love the reviews!
Thank you!
Love you and your wife's channels! They're always so good. 😍😍 For thrillers, you have to read "The Only One Left" by Riley Sager. It was wild.
Sager is an author I cannot wait to read! You and so many others have encouraged me to just read his books! Thank you!!
I’m pretty sure I had the same reactions towards the end of Hidden Pictures 😂😮
Nice video. I have Dark Matter in my shelf I feel I'll have to start it soon :)
You won’t regret it!
Okay can we talk about the awesome soundtrack, and how at 4:03, the lights behind you look like evil eyes watching you read from behind? So perfect LOL…Happy Anniversary to such a great, sweet, funny and charming couple!! You guys are SO LOVED!!…oh and HECK YEAH!! It’s Ian time!! Miss you friend!!
I rewatched up to that time stamp and you’re not kidding😂 and thank you!! Ash and I had a great time!! And yes, it’s been too long since I posted. But I am back for good!!!
@@iangubeli like I said before, life be life-ing! All of my fave BookTubers have taken breaks, long, short, vacation, mental health breaks, whatever. You and Ashlynn do what you need to do to be happy and take care of yourselves. Not only that, but it’s YOUR damn channels, nobody elses. You guys still make me want to start my own channel…maybe after the holidays. Finally, been waiting to chat with ya about this-FINALLY finished “The Stand” last week. And I’ll probably have people making my image into voodoo dollars after this, lol, but I LIKED it, didn’t love it. It had a major plot hole over something for me, and I felt the ending was tied up too fast. Which, as it was the extended version, I’m sure Sai King was like “Please, Lord take the wheel, pen, typewriter,” and was just thrilled to be done with it. I gave the plot three stars, the characters though-10 put of 5! I loved me some Trashy and Tom Cullen lol
@@joalgustas6498 this means so much, thank you!! You’re incredible!!!
A new video from my favorite booktuber? Thanks God what an awesome day!!❤
I’m your favorite!?!? That warms my heart!!
@@iangubeli Definitely! I found you after seeing you in some of Ashlynn's videos and have been hooked ever since!
@@faithfultotheKing makes me feel good! Thank you so icy for all of the support! You’re such a wonderful person!!
@@iangubeli of course!! Thank you for all the wonderful videos❤️
I enjoy reading books too! Although I am not satisfied with the translated editions, I am not proficient enough to read English-edition books on my own. With the help of the web extension Immersive Translate, I can grasp the basic meaning of the passages. I hope I can get closer to these intriguing books.
Awesome vlog‼️🎃👻 I am finishing a romance series and a dark romance series and I can’t wait to get back and read Morning Star because romance is not my genre. But I hopefully I will get into one of these thriller books that you have chosen because o have expanded my reading through your recommendations. Also I finished reading Narnia series and it was good I didn’t like the ending but my favourite books of this series are definitely the ones that are also film adaptations and the Magician’s Nephew was amazing and I loved how that shows you how it started 😊‼️ thank you for that recommendation.
Hey it was my pleasure!! Narnia is classic. I cannot wait to hear what you think of Morning Star!! It’s so epic and big and amazing!!
Hidden Pictures is one of my favorite horror/thrillers. Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely check out The Only One Left by Riley Sager, The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D Jackson (Carrie retelling), and The Last Word by Taylor Adams.
Thank you! All of these sounds amazing! Thank you for helping expand the TBR!!!
@@iangubeli You're welcome!
Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware blew my mind! I think you'd love it.
Excited to read it! Thank you!!
I definitely recommend behind her eyes by Sarah Pinborough! Had my jaw on the floor!!! They also mad a mini series for it which is also great to watch after.
Also wanted to say loved the soundtrack and how you showed you reactions through out not a lot of booktubers do this😊
Just added that to the TBR!! Thank you so much! The plot sounds really good!
Thank you!! The music took days to flesh out. And I am happy the reactions were enjoyed. I didn’t want to just give aimless commentary between boring montages!
Awesome creepy soundtrack with this one!! I read Rock, Paper, Scissors a couple of months ago, and it kept me reading, but in the end, I still hated all the characters in it. I think there were too many obvious holes and too many twists for me to give it a decent rating.
I'm looking forward to reading Dark Matter soon because I've read a lot of his other works and highly recommend his Wayward Pines series.
And now I need to check out Hidden Pictures as it sounds like it right up my alley! 😊 Ty!
Ok this video is perfect and so is the music. It gives me all the Halloween vibes. I am currently reading how to sell a haunted house and loving it! I also can’t wait to read hidden pictures it is on my shelf to read next. Today is also Halloween so see how many spooky books I can read this week😂😂. Spooky seasons never ends for me!
Thank you so much!!! Same here!! Now that I have discovered a love of horror and thrillers….spooky reads will be a year-long thing! I have heard good things about “How to Sell A Haunted House.” Is it something you think I might be into
@@iangubeli so far I am loving how to sell a haunted house! I think you would enjoy it. Gives off the spooky season vibes that is for sure. I can’t put the book down so def would read it!
@@Megrosalie you’ve convinced me thoroughly!!
YES! I can't wait to hear what you think of it.@@iangubeli
When you showed dark matter i was like yaaaassss
It’s so good! Exceeded expectations!
Another excellent video.
Thank you!!
Girl in cabin 10 is a amazing crazy journey
If you haven't read the Fourth Monkey series by J.D. Barker, amazing plot twist and story..with a lot of I did not see that coming moments. Also Jar of Hearts by Jennifer Hiller (sp?)
I just read Five Total Strangers by Natalie D. Richards. It's a Christmas thriller
I need to read more thrillers, it's been an age since I've read any. Bird Box and the sequel Malory by Josh Malerman are quite interesting and I enjoyed them both. Also The Vanishing At Castle Moreau by Jaime Jo Wright kept me on the edge of my seat.
Ooooo thank you for the recs!! The Jaime Jo Weight book sounds awesome!
@@iangubeli your welcome! I call Jaime the queen of Christian Fiction creepiness.😂
@@paperbacksandponytails She’s Christian!?!? Even better!!
@@iangubeli yep😁, I've met her she's such a delight.
We need more thriller vlogs 🔥🔥 love Ur videos 🤍
Thank you so much!! I definitely will be doing more thriller content!!
I have not read Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney but I did listen to the audiobook of His and Hers. The book was so good and the two narrators were incredible. The final twist, the murderer, was the last person I suspected. I highly recommend it. I also recommend The Burning Girls by C.J. Tudor.
The audio for Rock Paper Scissors is also dual narrators. It’s so freaking good!! And I will definitely be checking out your recs! Thank you!!
@@iangubeli I checked on the narrators for both books, and they are the same two people - Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine. Not sure if you are aware, but Richard is also an actor and played Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit films produced by Peter Jackson. Anyway, hope you enjoy His and Hers when you get a chance to check it out. 😊❤️
Blake Crouch is the shit. You should check out his wayward pines trilogy. Also recursion.
You are braver then I would ever be.
Dark Matter is a non stop book even when it end you’re still thinking did they do it
I'm hopeful gonna start reading season of the wolf by Robin Summers two women running from their pasts.
That sounds great!! Hope you enjoy, am I would love to hear your thoughts. I just added it to the TBR!
@@iangubeli ok will do
❤❤❤
Dark Matter is my favorite Crouch book, it is intense & has a little science but not too much
His other books are similar but get to be a little heavier on the science talk
(Forgot I have not read Wayward Pines series yet)
I have wanted to read Wayward Pines for a long time! He does seem (on the surface) that he is a man in STEM. His books just give that feeling off.
Your videos are the best!! 😁 I would love to hear your thoughts on The Last House on Needless Street by Carolina Ward. It's quite odd 😂 thank you for stellar content!!
Thank you so much!! Just added that to the TBR!!
Wait I forgot how good Dark Matter is, it had such a grip on me. I'm so happy you read and loved it !
Hidden pictures is one of the best books of recent times
Facts!
I only read 2 thrillers so far. One was lock every door by Riley sager which was good and the women in the window by a.j finn ..that one was ok . I like a little scary.
Thank you for the recs!! I need to read a Riley Sager book soon!
I strongly recommend The Last Word by Taylor Adams.
Just added to the TBR!
If you haven’t read pretty girls by Karin slaughter got me into thrillers now I’m hooked highly recommend really great book very action packed also I own a copy of hidden pictures loved that book too such a fun read
Just added Pretty Girls to the TBR!! Thank you! I am excited to try it out!!
Am I 7 months late, yes. But I saw hidden pictures and Immediately clicked
Loved this video! ❤ U should check out the last time I lied by Riley sager, one of my all time favorite thrillers with a plot twist that I really didn't see coming!
His name keeps getting recommended to me🤔 I think he will be an author I read soon!!
@@iangubeliI haven’t read this one but just finished “The Only One Left”, which is his newest one, and “Lock Every Door” aaaannnddd he may become an auto buy for me. I second you checking out Mr. Sager.
What do you listen to while you read? I’ve heard white noise helps focus.
If I have headphones in while reading, I am usually listening to an audiobook! My brains can’t focus on a book if I listen to music or other such things🙈
I still vote for you and Ashlynn to visit some free little libraries ◡̈
You should read the last word by taylor adams ,none of this is true by Lisa Jewell, Five Survive By Holly jackson and The Writing retreat By Julia Bartz (this one is chaos not everyone loves it but I personally loved how clostrophobic and dark it got one of my favs )
Just added these to the TBR!! Thank you very much!
@@iangubeli hope you enjoy can’t wait to hear your thoughts :))
I would love to hear what you were ranting to Ashlynn about this book 😅
Oh yeah!!😅 we laugh about major plot spoilers!🙈
🍁🎉
This is an odd rec, but since you like horror and you've tried branching out to YA before, have you tried THE GIRL FROM THE WELL by Rin Chupeco? It's a very good YA horror ghost story type book. I like it a lot.
Have you read Daisy Darker? HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS THRILLER
Just added it to the TBR!!
Hey man love your vids. I can't find your Goodreads. Do you have a link?
Thank you so much!! The link never works for people for some reason. My profile is just my UA-cam handle. If that doesn’t work, I can try to find you? What’s your Goodreads profile?
@@iangubeli It’s my name. Bradley Smith
@@BradleysBookTalks is your profile picture on Goodreads the same as your UA-cam??
I couldn't stand Rock Paper Scissors. A common theme with psych thriller writers is the hint at the supernatural and there never actually is anything supernatural going on at all. At least Hidden Pictures owned the supernatural element and went with it. I love Blake Crouch, you should read ALL his books (except Upgrade maybe). Like Wayward Pines was WILD

I finished Rock,paper,scissors 2 days ago and i am so glad you read it too..holy it was heck of a book,so fast pace...and the last revelation of Robin being Adam's first wife was just pantshitting for me...i am glad u enjoyed it
That. Had. Me. Flippin! I could not believe it when I read that. I had to reread it a few times to make sure I wasn’t crazy. The best plot twist I have read in a VERY long time!!
Have you read any Stephen Graham Jones? He may be more horror than thriller?
Definitely going to check him out! Thank you!!
I knew it! I knew we were best friends... Thanks for confirming in the beginning of the video. I just thought maybe I was being a bit stalkerish but I guess we really are beaties. 😂
So I started reading again the start of Jan. 2022. Rock Paper Scissors was my first 5 star read that year which was in May... I read 52 books that year so it took a bit to get my 1st 5 star. Well anyways I only know that from going back and seeing what I gave this book because I have zero recollection of it now. Lol I'm not a fan of rereads because there are so many books I haven't read yet but I may see if I can get the audio to this and listen to it while I work... Audios aren't reading... remember. Lol so for me technically it wont be a reread. Lol I think the sad point here is it's only been 1.5 years and I don't remember a great book. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. 😢
So I read Dracula by Bram Stoker which was amazing... I read The Ruins by Scott Smith which was good. I saw the movie so kind of ruined it for me. No pun intended. I'm finishing Ghost Story by Peter Straubs today (really good) and The Terror (pretty good so for) by Dan Simmons should be finished sometime this week. That will wrap up my spooky season reads. Pretty good month not many books but 3 of them were chunckers for my reading speed.
All that to say The Pariah and Jade City are on deck and I will let you know what I thought... Why? Not because I have no life and live in this fantasy world where you really care but because we are best friends and I know you really wanna know my take on them. Lol
Ok brother have a blessed day and I need to finish the rest of your video. I may be back for more comments.
I am so sorry for not getting back to you sooner!!🙈🙈 it has been a crazy few weeks.
YES!! We are best friends, and I am so honored you consider me a friend as I do you!!
Sounds like you had a great October reading! Full of good spooky books. I need to check some of those out! I have only read Dracula. I am trying to expand my horror repertoire.
Hope you have a blessed day and are doing well!!
@@iangubeli No need to apologize. We are all busy with life and completely understand.
Been struggling to stay awake when I read lately so I'm taking forever to get thru The Pariah. I am really enjoying it and I love all the possible things to come in the other books. I'd say Im about 70ish percent thru so hopefully I'll have it finished in the next night or two. Still have Jade City to read after that. Ahhh oh and 70% thru The Terror... So still have that to finish as well... Ugh... After these 3 books I'm going to take a break from the chunkers. Maybe a nice 250 page western or cozy mystery. 😂
Ok done rambling. Take care my friend.
Hi. I'm new to your channel, so I don't know if you've read The Watchers, by A. M. Shine.
W vid
I wanted to to pick up Hidden Pictures but idk If it's for me
It’s definitely a good cross between horror and thriller. It’s just very suspenseful, I’ll put it that way!!
@@iangubeliI'll have to look up the trigger warnings before making up my mind!
ok so I know this isn't your genre but I challenge you to go out of your comfort zone and pick up a classic... something written before 1950... anything that would be considered a classic wether 20th century or ancient. would love to see how you fare!
60s but . . . Something Wicked This Way Comes. I read Fairy Tale by Stephen King and he mentioned it so I gave it a try and loved it!
I have had that same thought in the back of my mind! I may save that for the new year. I have some fun videos planned for the rest of the year pretty much!!
@@iangubeli im excited to see what you do the rest of this year!
@@elisabethprice4697 it’s going to be fun!!
“That’s what he gets” is exactly what I said. The ending of Hidden Pictures was WHACK.
It really was! Just one big fever dream!
Can we please get a 50 Shades of Grey reading vlog? All the fans have been asking.
All the fans!?!? I’m going to be honest, 50 Shades is…a bit too graphic for what I’m into. I’m all down to read romance, but that seems a bit over the top.
@@iangubeli well if you won’t read 50 Shades of Grey you should at least check out Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
Great video 👍 Have you or your wife read Behind Her Eyes? Things that make you go Hmmmm 😮
Thank you so much!! And neither of us have read that book. Just added that to the TBR!!
@@iangubeli I think you will both like it 🌟 Netflix has an adaptation of it also.
@@therese448 really!? That makes it even more exciting!!
I am surprised you enjoyed Hidden Pictures, i have heard it is really problematic and messed up.
It wasn’t that bad, honestly. Then again, it has been months since I have read it, and can’t really remember if there was anything of the sort.
