**Book Review: A Month of Reading**

As I sit here reflecting on my reading habits, I must say that this month has been quite the rollercoaster ride for me. I've read several books across various genres, and while some have left an impression, others have fallen flat. Let's start with one book that didn't exactly make a lasting impact on me - Tara, a friend of mine, had recently finished reading "An Ax to Pick" which I thought sounded intriguing. However, she devoured the book in such haste that it lost its luster for me. While I wouldn't say it was a bad book per se, it just didn't hold my attention as much as I would have liked.

On a more positive note, I'd like to share with you one of my favorite books from this month - "How to Sell a Haunted House" by Grady Hendricks. Oh, my goodness! This book had me on the edge of my seat, literally. It's a romance novel that tackles some dark themes, but what sets it apart is its ability to make me feel like I'm right there with the characters. The story follows Louise, who returns to her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina after receiving news of her parents' tragic passing. As she navigates her way through this difficult time, she must come to terms with her complicated relationship with her younger brother and figure out what to do with their ancestral home - a house that's steeped in history and possibly haunted by the spirit of Louise's mother.

As I delved deeper into the book, I found myself becoming increasingly invested in the characters' lives. The author masterfully weaves together themes of grief, family dynamics, and the complexities of human relationships. But what really sets this book apart is its unique blend of horror and humor - Grady Hendricks has a way of crafting stories that are both terrifying and heartwarming at the same time. For me, the main puppet, Pumpkin, was more than just a creepy addition to the story; it was a symbol of the dark forces that lurk within us all.

One of the aspects that resonated deeply with me was the author's portrayal of the bond between siblings. As an older sibling myself, I couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship with Louise's character. The way Grady Hendricks explores the complexities of their relationship, with its accompanying tensions and love, felt eerily familiar. It's a theme that I think many readers can relate to - whether it's the sibling rivalry, the jealousy, or the unspoken understanding between siblings, this book touched on all those emotions with remarkable precision.

I must confess that "How to Sell a Haunted House" had me feeling petrified at times, not just because of the eerie atmosphere, but also because of how real the emotions felt. The author's writing is masterful, weaving together elements of horror, mystery, and coming-of-age themes in a way that feels both authentic and unsettling. I couldn't put it down, even when the ending left me feeling breathless and shaken.

Overall, my experience with "How to Sell a Haunted House" was nothing short of unforgettable. If you're looking for a book that will scare you, make you laugh, and maybe even leave you questioning your childhood memories, then this is the book for you. Trust me when I say that it's a wild ride - but one that's worth taking.

**Other Books Read This Month**

While "How to Sell a Haunted House" was my standout pick of the month, there were other books that caught my attention as well. Tara had mentioned an ax project that she thought was cool, although I didn't get around to reading it myself. It wasn't one of my favorites, but I can appreciate its potential.

As for Grady Hendrix's other works, I've read "Horrorstör" and "We Sold Our Souls", both of which were equally impressive in their own ways. His unique blend of horror and dark humor is something that sets him apart from other authors in the genre. While each book has its own distinct tone and style, they all share a common thread - an exploration of human nature, with all its complexities and flaws.

**Conclusion**

As I wrap up this month's reading journey, I'm reminded of the importance of perspective and how our individual tastes can shape our experiences. Not every book is going to resonate with us, but that's what makes discovering new authors and genres so exciting. If you're a fan of horror, dark humor, or just looking for something different from your usual reads, then Grady Hendricks' books are definitely worth checking out.

And if you're an older sibling like me, well, I think you'll find "How to Sell a Haunted House" to be a relatable and thought-provoking read. So, go ahead, pick up a copy, and get ready for a wild ride that will leave you feeling unsettled - but in the best possible way.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso overall in January I read six books and if I'm honest with you it was not the best start of the Year for me reading wise I just I read a lot of books I was meh I have won five stars so that's a success but overall it was kind of a Mad reading month for me honestly of a lot going on my personal life so I think it extended over to my reading life because that often happens to me but either way I don't know what these videos I start with my least favorite book that I read that month working up to my favorites so I have a lot of three stars so I'm just gonna kind of put those all in one so the first one I want to talk about is do I know you by Emily liberley and Osmond Sigma broca this one unfortunately was a three star for me this is an author Duo that was previously they still do write a lot of young adult contemporary which I have enjoyed um I don't read those anymore but last year they made their big jump into the adult romance genre with the book the roughest draft and I did really like that one um it's kind of a controversial one because a lot of people don't like it I liked it a ton so I was very excited for this one and sadly I did not really enjoy it so this book is about two characters Eliza and Graham and they are married and they're about to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary and they're having the rocky part in their marriage their parents decide to give them like a week-long trip this really great Hotel so they go there they accidentally get mistaken for singles because there's a big single Retreat and the wife's like hey let's just pretend to be singles and not know each other and like reignite that dating spark and I really was just not into that I was like that's kind of weird they say in different rooms they act like they didn't know each other he was like let me get your phone number and I'm like what so I don't know it was just odd I love a good second chance romance I really do and I love books about marriages because I'm married I love learning about different ones dissecting them all that kind of things but this one just fell flat for me that whole thing where they presented didn't know each other was it wasn't horrible but it just wasn't I didn't think it was necessary another part of this is you don't really know why their marriage is Rocky you don't they don't really talk about it it's just kind of there and it's miscommunication I found this author Duo writes miscommunication well but the last book that worked out for me this one it did not they just at the end it was all about Eliza being a horrible Communicator which I get I am not the best Communicator myself no it just was kind of meh for me I just did not enjoy it wasn't feeling the romance didn't think the whole pretending they didn't know each other worked out three out of five sadly maybe I'll be maybe it'll be a controversial book where everyone else loves it but I don't the complete opposite was her last one I don't know we'll see then we have another both these are kind of just pointing to me because I was really out for this one and I really had high hopes for this one what lies in the Woods by Kate Alice Marshall again another author that's previously known for the young adult books she writes a lot of why a Thrillers and I have read one of hers and I enjoyed it so I was very excited to see her make the jump into a doll because our young adult books at least the one I read was very dark so I'm like she's gonna write some weird junk or not weird but you know dark stuff and this one yes it was dark but it was so predictable like I could see the plot twist from 10 miles away honestly like they just literally were right there maybe again that's just me as always with my reviews I say take them with a grain of salt but basically this book we follow um a character named Naomi and 22 years ago when she was like I forget how old she was I want to say she was like 12 or something her and her two best friends Olivia and Cassidy they spent the summer Roaming In the Woods playing like this goddess game and basically um Naomi all of a sudden gets stabbed like 20 something times and miraculously survives they she says she saw the man that did it who was the notorious serial killer and he was put to jail we now we pick up 22 years later that guy that was a serial killer that that was committed for these um like killed all these other women attacked Naomi died and Naomi has always had this suspicion that you know that that's not really what happened she didn't really see him you know her friends kind of told her that's what she saw and so she decides to start investigating it a little bit more I mean it's just it's very obvious I feel like from the get-go what happens maybe that's just me I don't know am I the best person to detect plot twist no sometimes Plato is really shock me sometimes sometimes they're there though this one I just I don't know and also the characters they were all horrible like they all just I don't know I just didn't enjoy this one and enjoy it the way it was written I didn't enjoy the big mystery of finales I didn't enjoy the characters honestly the whole I feel like I've kind of read this book before if you will with the whole like magic and the goddess game and things like that I just felt like I've just heard it before so I don't know maybe I'm being too harsh on it I don't know but I just finished it and I was like oh so I gave it a three out of five so I I promise you not every book I read this month I well most of them were just kind of meh for me I don't know what they're like next up the fine print by Lauren Asher I bought this book because everybody and their mother talks about on Tick Tock like if you know you know like romance has blown up on Tick Tock particularly in the authors and so I thought maybe you know it's time for me to dip my pool into the Indie author genre because I do not do that normally I'm glad I did this was an okay book again I gave it a three out of five do I do I think it's worth all the hype I don't know but I will be continuing with the series the covers A Plus on that so this book is a series it's called the Dreamland billionaires I believe and this first book we follow a character named Rowan it's each book it's about a different brother and basically their grandfather is black Walt Disney um and he owns like Disney World and Disneyland like Disney but it's called um Dreamland there and he passes away and he leaves each brother like a kind of note of things he wants them to do before they get their inheritance Rowan's as he has to run the company for like a a year or six months or something to figure out what dreamland's biggest problem is and dissect it and things like that there he meets Zara who is a worker at Dreamland and she gets a promotion to be like an engineer like you know an imagineer what they call in Disney and so they team up together it's a hate to love romance where it gets steamy things like that I think my main fault with this one is I did not enjoy the characters that much his arm was great I enjoyed her it was like a grumpy Sunshine thing I get it but Rowan was just kind of an unlikable character another complaint I have with this is it was freaking long like it is it's like 440 pages that is way too lazy for a roommate so I'm like way too lengthy for me a perfect romance novel was anywhere from like three to four hundred 400 pushing it for me three to 350 usually so this one for almost 450 Pages that's a no for me but I mean I understand the appeal of it I like the whole Disney thing I think if you're a big fan of Disney and Disney park and Disney World Disney land and all those stuff like I I don't dislike Disney and all that but I'm not like fanatically as a and interested in it as other people are which is totally okay I think this is a big draw for that but I will continue on the series because I am very interested in seeing what the other brothers like assignments are from their grandfather because I don't know the other brothers kind of intrigued me more I think one the next brother has to like marry somebody and get somebody pregnant which I'm like why would a grandfather like ask somebody to do that like what but either way I'm interested so I might I'll probably read them but I'm not mad I read it but it was just kind of meh for me then we have Tackle by Rachel Harrison this book I read a book by this author last year called such sharp teeth this is labeled as horror and it's not horror I think there's a big case of Miss marketing for a lot of books I've talked about that a lot I can see why it's labeled as horror because this book is about witches but is it scary at all no so this book we have a character named Annie and Annie has always been you know kind of the good girl she's been in this great relationship and all of a sudden her boyfriend breaks up with her and she's like crap I don't know what to do and so she moves to this really really small town called I don't even know where she goes to I want to say like Haven or something and she meets a girl named Sophie there and she's immediately drawn to Sophie something about Sophie just is just in like just really interesting to her they quickly become friends and Annie starts to notice something's a little different about Sophie you know she's a witch you know spiders are everywhere things are happening the townspeople are scared of her they also like respect her but they fear her and this book is all about their friendship and overall I give it a three out of five it was a cute cozy read like the fact that it's labeled as horror baffles me like there was no part in this book where I was like holy crap I'm petrified usually as horror books are labeled as um but would recommend this reading this near Halloween if you want like kind of a cute witchy Vibe um it was just okay like I just think like if you're going to label it for make it maybe that's just me like if I known it was just going to be a cute witchy time I think I would have bumped up the rating a little bit more but maybe I just need to know that for Rachel Harrison's Book so I mean if you want like a cute witchy time that's not scary but about friendship and stuff I'd recommend it and then my last three stars X's and O's by Amy Lee this follows a character named Tara who is broken up with a lot she's notorious for kind of being too clingy being too obsessed with romance she's also a romance book blogger she reads a lot of romance novels she's also a nurse she's great she moves in with her roommate um Trevor who's a firefighter and she quickly decides of this project of like going back to her exes to figure out why they broke up with her and maybe see if there's a spark there because she really really wants to find the one and that sounded really cute to me I thought this whole project was cute you could see a mile away where the plot was going you could always see the romances but that doesn't ever bother me but this one I don't know I just it was cute I didn't love the romance I wanted kind of more of it it was kind of not built up at all it just happened like that and I felt like it could have had some sort of build up more and also with Romance Books you spend 90 of the book getting to that romance waiting anticipating yearning all the yearning and then it happened and that so I kind of want a little bit more after you know what I'm saying am I the only one I want not the whole book but like like maybe he gave me like 20 of it you know like getting a little bit of them maybe that's just me that's just the problem with all romance books not this one in particular but Tara you know she went to this ax project which I thought was really cool but she went through it so fast that it made it kind of not interesting for me in a way like I was just like oh okay so I mean it was cute it's a great book to read your Valentine's Day I'll tell you that um it's a cute romance one but it just wasn't one of my favorite sadly kind of sad having like five three stars that's okay you win some you lose some you win some you lose some you gotta have perspective that's just how it goes sometimes it's unfortunate it's beginning of the year for that but whatever um but I will say my favorite book of the month is a five star and that is how to sell a haunted house by Grady Hendricks this book oh my gosh this book made me kind of almost cry and made me petrified and made me never want to look again at my children's stuffed animals and puppets like it was intense so in this book we have a character named Louise she lives in California at the time but she finds out both her parents have died really tragically and um she has to go back to you guessed it Charleston South Carolina I said the Augusta because all of his books somehow take place in Charleston South Carolina and so she goes there and she has to meet her younger brother who she does not have the best relationship with because he's kind of like a deadbeat he doesn't do a lot and they have to decide what to do with all their possessions AKA fight about it because whenever somebody you love like passes away okay it gets Daisy with money like I've experienced it myself firsthand it gets dicey like you see the worst of people come out and it is not fun at all like it is just it's hard so of course they fight and the main fight is what's to do with the house so they keep it should they sell it and they decide they should sell it and you know the house is not like the best house because their mom was a puppeteer she was a puppeteer for this for the church she made all these puppets like the house is full of puppets and they noticed the more time they're spending in the house that the house may be a little bit haunted particularly by some puppets if that sounds creepy it is I'm not one that's like overly scared of Puppets because I don't watch a lot of scary stuff I don't but this scared the crap out of me like holy crap like if you win a book I said it and I will say it I don't cost a lot but if you want a book that is batshit crazy this is the book for you a main puppet takes over of the name pumpkin that's right and it is wild like it is insane but also with with braid with Grady Hendrix books is he has this such intense horror element that's kind of scary but also disgusting in ways I know but he always has a big underlying theme with my best friend's exorcism it was about friendships this one is about a brother and sister Bond so this one hit me on so many levels I am an older sister I have one younger brother he is four years younger than me we're very different let's just say that I am very much the older sibling you know if you're an older sibling you know so I felt so much for Louise and also she was a mom and this book is just crazy like I love it I gave it a 5 out of five I was not expecting I kind of well I had hopes to give it a 5 out of 5 with Grady Hendrix I never know this is like my fourth book by him and I loved it this might be my favorite by him I just it was intense like this book is the one book out of all that scared the crap out of me like it made me never want to look and like whenever I'm cleaning up my son's like stuffed animals I'm always a little bit more cautious now and being like nice because you never know you never know so I don't know if you go on about this book forever if you want a book that's going to scare you with puppets a brother Sisterhood relationship scary scary scary I would highly recommend this one loved it five out of five will definitely be on my favorites book by the end of the year so I guess in retrospect if I have one of my favorite books of the whole year already in January they can't be that bad right right so those are all the books that I read this month I would love to hear what books you've read if you've read any of these if you have the same thoughts or same feelings and Etc as always thank you so much for watching and I will see you in my next video byeso overall in January I read six books and if I'm honest with you it was not the best start of the Year for me reading wise I just I read a lot of books I was meh I have won five stars so that's a success but overall it was kind of a Mad reading month for me honestly of a lot going on my personal life so I think it extended over to my reading life because that often happens to me but either way I don't know what these videos I start with my least favorite book that I read that month working up to my favorites so I have a lot of three stars so I'm just gonna kind of put those all

want a book that is batshit crazy this is the book for you a main puppet takes over of the name pumpkin that's right and it is wild like it is insane but also with with braid with Grady Hendrix books is he has this such intense horror element that's kind of scary but also disgusting in ways I know but he always has a big underlying theme with my best friend's exorcism it was about friendships this one is about a brother and sister Bond so this one hit me on so many levels I am an older sister I have one younger brother he is four years younger than me we're very different let's just say that I am very much the older sibling you know if you're an older sibling you know so I felt so much for Louise and also she was a mom and this book is just crazy like I love it I gave it a 5 out of five I was not expecting I kind of well I had hopes to give it a 5 out of 5 with Grady Hendrix I never know this is like my fourth book by him and I loved it this might be my favorite by him I just it was intense like this book is the one book out of all that scared the crap out of me like it made me never want to look and like whenever I'm cleaning up my son's like stuffed animals I'm always a little bit more cautious now and being like nice because you never know you never know so I don't know if you go on about this book forever if you want a book that's going to scare you with puppets a brother Sisterhood relationship scary scary scary I would highly recommend this one loved it five out of five will definitely be on my favorites book by the end of the year so I guess in retrospect if I have one of my favorite books of the whole year already in January they can't be that bad right right so those are all the books that I read this month I would love to hear what books you've read if you've read any of these if you have the same thoughts or same feelings and Etc as always thank you so much for watching and I will see you in my next video bye\n"
