 Hello friends! Welcome back to my channel and welcome back to a spooky TBR! It's the wrong way! TBR Cluedo! My favourite time of the month. I love TBR Cluedo. If you don't know this is my TBR game that we play and it's a lot of fun and it's themed off of Cluedo or Clue if you're American. And it is time for our October TBR so I want all the horror vibes, all the spooky book vibes, all of the haunting vibes, all of the historical, grungy, dark, autumnal vibes for this month. We're aiming to get a lot of horror on this TBR and a lot of other spooky books on this TBR and I'm very excited for it. I'm very excited. I still don't know what some of the books are obviously because some prompts I get which I have to choose in this moment and I'm like what are they gonna be? I don't want to do it. I want to go home. Like I can't take the pressure of it. So I'm very excited for all the spooky books this month but before we get into the video I want to say a massive thank you to the sponsor which is Serious Readers. If you guys were here a lot last autumn and winter you'll know I spoke about my Serious Light and I still love it. I really want you to know I'm telling the absolute truth that I use my Serious Light every time that I read at night time. I can't read at night time without it now. Like it's like automatic that I use it. I love my Serious Light so much. If you don't know I have the High Definition Light from Serious Readers and these lights have something called Daylight Wavelength Technology which replicates the daylight spectrum as closely as possible which means it isn't using blue light. It's very gentle on your eyes. I always say it feels like a breath of fresh air and they are used specifically for reading particularly when it's dark and I was actually talking to my boyfriend's mum about this and we were like suddenly it's dark. Like all of a sudden it feels like it's getting very dark very early and so obviously I use this year round but I'm using it so much more already now that the nights are getting darker quicker and I love it. So yeah basically I have a High Definition Light. It has a dim on it where you can adjust the the light intensity and I will just say I obviously film the clips that you're seeing at night time and it looks probably really bright because my camera does a good job of picking up on light but it's the perfect intensity. It's the perfect strength of light for reading at night and I honestly I cannot do without it. I have found that my eyes are straining way less to read at night. If it's dark your eyes are gonna do more work to read and honestly this is such a game change for me. Tom uses it as well all the time when he's reading. I just love it. I cannot tell you I think it's an incredible investment. I find that I read so much more at night time now because I have this light and it makes it so much more enjoyable and so much more easy. So I have a really great code for you guys. This is an amazing deal. I have a code SR436 and that will get you 100 pounds off of your order of a High Definition Light as well as free delivery. 100 pounds! 100 pounds! I can't believe it. It's an incredible deal. So the code is SR436 and that will get you 100 pounds off your order and like I said I cannot recommend it enough. I use it every day pretty much. From reading at night time I use it and I just think it's such an incredible product. It leaves my eyes not feeling strained, not feeling like I've been squinting, not feeling like you know it's too bright in the evening as well. Sometimes like when it's we're big like no overhead light on people we're big like lamps on you know like a soft light in the evening and it doesn't feel too strong so I cannot recommend it enough. Make sure you go check out my link down below and use your code to get 100 pounds off of your High Definition Light. Okay guys it is time to get into the TBR Clio. I've got my witchy outfit on um this is my witch outfit. I should put a or I'm not putting the TBR Clio hat on it doesn't go with the vibe today um so shall we just get into the first roll? Okay roll number one person number four which is pink up here in horror that's good that's a good early one. We have three and a one okay I am just gonna go one two three and get the dagger so the dagger is a random number generator picks what I read oh god so the dagger is a very fun super super clue I think I call them super weapon or whatever I called and the dagger I have to use a random number generator to pick what I read so the weapons don't have to be constrained by the genre room they're in but they can be if I want them to be as kind of the general rule so I can pick and choose so I could either random number generate my whole TBR which I've done before or just random number generate in horror which is the room that was in obviously it's spooky season I'm gonna do horror I actually have a ton of horror books on my TBR and I think that's because I read them quite quickly once they come onto my TBR my horror shelf is like the most of these like the half shelf so I have here obviously this is all fantasy this is all mystery thriller the horror shelf is by far my one that is like overflowing like I'm having to put them behind here on the mystery thriller shelf now so I do read quite a bit of horror but I read it quite quickly when it comes onto my TBR which is interesting so I think I only have about 20 books so first thing we'll do is number generate between one and 20 okay between one and 20 generate six okay I'm gonna order it by most recently added because that's how I always order my shelves oh god I feel nervous what was it number six right okay did I added one two three four five six oh you're gonna do it again because I've just read Dr. Jack on the side you would have seen that vlog already but I've started only updating my good dreams once a vlog has come out when I'm filming this it hasn't come out yet so we're gonna have to redo it generate seven the one below it the ballad of black tom okay interesting interesting is this a novella how long is this yeah okay I don't know much about this this is just an audiobook that I have saved I think on script and so that's why it's on my TBR I added this over a year ago that shows you how quickly I get through horror books really quickly when I add them to my TBR I don't know much about this but I know a lot of people have really enjoyed it oh it's a retelling of a Lovecraft story yes okay I have heard of that opens a door to a deeper realm of magic and earns the attention of things best left sleeping okay I'm interested to read this because I have had a lot of people really enjoy this and say that it's like a short horror that love people should read I might even read it like really soon how exciting I don't know much about the plot but I remember I've heard so many people recommend this and say that they enjoyed it okay good one roll number two oh my god four again oh my god okay I was there let's see how many we roll what is the chances I wanted horror and I'm getting horror um okay three of two let's go one two three and that is number 13 which is a TBR veteran it's one of the older horrors on my TBR roll number two was another horror that is a TBR veteran and this is the one that I gave to my patrons to vote on and to be our book come pick for October because I knew I wanted to have a horror that I would read with them so I picked four of the oldest horrors that are still on my TBR and those are pine by Francine Toon hashtag no escape by Gretchen McNeil my heart is a chainsaw by Steven Graham Jones and the luminous dead by Caitlin Starling now I would have loved if the luminous dead had won because it's a horror that I really want to read and key fact is it's not starting a new series but by far the landslide winner of the poll was my heart is a chainsaw by Steven Graham Jones I have heard a lot of good things about this and I have enjoyed a lot of Steven Graham Jones that I've read in the past but uh it's starting another series guys I will just say that um I I sabotage a lot of things oh and it yeah okay so all I know about this one is the start of another series we're following a character who I think loves slasher films her name is Jade yeah she loves slasher films and she like assigns like the roles that people would play in a horror film to like the people in her life um but then I think murders start occurring in her town that she lives in and yeah I really love the Only Good Indians I read Oh Night the Mannequins by Steven Graham Jones I've read quite a few Steven Graham Jones I've never given him a five star but I have always really enjoyed it and I've heard really really good things about this one so hope you'll be a good one for us to discuss in the book club hope you'll be like a really good gory horror for us all to read in October but they have made me start another series oh there's like what is this there's like some mixed media of some description what is this slasher 101 I think she's writing essays on like what slasher films are usually like okay interesting I'm really excited I'm excited to read more Steven Graham Jones but uh they're making me start another series guys it wasn't me I gave them three other options that were not starting in the series one of them was making progress in a series and they choose they choose to yeah I'm joking aside roll number three person number three which is red up here in historical let's see how many we roll we've got a two and a six what can I get to in the room with that um what about the one in the corner there go one two three four five six oh perfect okay that is number eight which is a 2023 release roll number three was a historical that is a 2023 release and I was really excited because I've been wanting to read this and it's perfect perfect for October is the other come down again the other side of Mrs Wood by Lucy Barker so oh my gosh come on spooky vibes I was so obsessed so this is set in Victorian times when the girlies were obsessed with seances and ghosts they loved like seances what's the word like there's a word for this occult they love to be occult and we're following I think one of London's most acclaimed and established mediums but then something starts to happen to her routine and it starts like people start seeming not as interested so that plot doesn't sound the most interesting I assume it's going to be a book with like you can't really tell the plot because it's going to go off in a different direction or something or like the plot ends up being more interesting it sounds but the imagery of like Victorian occult ghost seances like holding hands and the tape around the table and the candle is flickering out you know I mean it's perfect for this time of year so I absolutely have to pick this up it's one that I haven't really heard anyone speak about it's one that I can't remember how I heard of it to begin with I think just like on Twitter or something and I haven't heard any booktuber review this yet so I'm intrigued to see what I like going into a newer release with like no expectations and no idea of what other people really think about it because I just find sometimes with other books there can be like a lot of pressure around liking a book or you know you can go with preconceived notions whereas I'm not going into this with that so I'm really excited I think I'm going to enjoy this and I think it's going to be like I think this is kind of a book you have to read in like the autumn and spooky season you know to really get the full bang for your back roll number four I feel like we've got a good roll so far passing up I can't speak so far so far person number six which is yellow and the river let's see how many we roll we've got a four and a two can I make it I think I can make it to to the rose prompt can I one two three four five six oh my god I can oh I'm a genius great okay so that is the rose prompt which one of my patrons will pick what I read roll number four was the rose prompt let's get the jar if you don't know when you join my patreon everyone gets to pick two books off of my tbr that they would like for me to read it goes into this jar and when we get the rose prompt I pick one out on this end they they have interesting choices and we'll see who picked it okay I'm just gonna go in quick today I'm gonna go in quick because I have nothing that I'm like you know hoping for we're just gonna do it quickly oh I had two I picked up two okay I'm going with this one okay okay okay let's focus on the hand thank you what is that oh you are fucking kidding me oh my god in both of the weapons it is trying to get me to read Dr. Jack on my side which I literally have just read that is so funny oh my gosh I've literally just read it why couldn't they that had happened last month tbr let's see who picked that so if people pick that page anyone else just page well page I've read it let's go I put the other one I picked out to the side so let's go for that one is hopefully it's not another one that I have already read what is this I can't get it to open is it a coincidence is it a coincidence I ask you is it a coincidence you're kidding me you're kidding me do I take the dub like if something's already on the tbr and like the rose prompt picks it do I just take the dub and like not add something else or do I add another book no let's have another book do I yes let's see you pick my heart is a chainsaw first Agnes picked it anyone else Becky and Emma or and Brenna lots of people that's the four of them picked that okay another one another one if this is another book that I've read or is on this tbr I may take the dub but let's see hopefully I want people to deliver with like an autumnal book what is this oh my god I've read it I literally read that like last week we're going again who picked Emma just use royal coven Karis picked it Tiffany picked it probably a lot of people picked this Laurel picked it that's it okay the three of them picked that next one oh my god it's all books I've literally read let's get something from like the top maybe because that would be like a newer pick okay or it might not be because I have just shaken it up next one the Marlowe murder club we are going to pretend we didn't hear that I've just taken the dub my I have no idea where that book is it could be anywhere so what we're gonna do is you guys tell me in the comments okay do I have to add the Marlowe murder club to my tbr oh and listen I do want to read it it's on my tbr but it's like we're getting to the end of the year and I have not finished enough series I don't want to be starting anymore and I already so should I just take the dub and add my heart as a chainsaw like in as this as well or because you sometimes I let myself like if a book comes up on another prompt that's already on the tbr I let myself just like not have to add another one but I was like you know I was being positive and then should I add the Marlowe murder club to my tbr or should I take the dub and not add it the rules don't apply okay I will make a decision based on what you say so Dee chose this Kate chose this Emily chose this Laura chose this that's it so the four of them chose this if you guys tell me I don't have to add it to my tbr I will not and I'll put it back in the prompt I'll put like one of those back in the prompt jar um but if I do have to add it to my tbr I will so the Marlowe murder club I just know it's one of this like I think it's we're following old people solving that in history this kind of sub-genre that sprang up particularly within British publishing after the Thursday murder club I can't remember the slant of this one I know a spoonful of murder is teachers what is Marlowe murder club Judah Potts is 77 and blissfully happy one night swimming in the Thames to witness is a brutal murder the local police simply for story um joined by a quest by the prim and proper wife of the local vicar okay it sounds fun but like maybe next let me know what you think okay let me know what you think roll number five person number one which is green over in fantasy good there's a lot of fantasy I've actually got a five and a two where can we get to with that I think I can just go one two three four five there we go that is number two which is a series I'm part way through roll number five was a fantasy that I am part week through the series and guys I'm finally going to be reading lost in the moment and found by Sean McGuire this is the next in the way with children series I'll be all up to date until like February when the next one comes out but that one's dinosaurs I'm very excited I love the way with children series I am just like incredibly excited to read this I can't wait I'm so excited to read this um we're following antsy who I believe goes to this like her world is where lost things go and I know this one is heavy hitting I've heard a lot of people say they find it very emotional they cry it's very like yeah hard hitting emotionally but I love the way with children series it's the five star series for me at this point I very rarely don't give them five stars because I love them so I'm very very excited I'm reading this like towards the end of October and I just know I'm gonna just sit down I'm a lovely evening light a candle and just like read this book and love it and I'm very excited I'm very very excited I think this is gonna be a five star let's be honest okay final roll we've got person number six who is that again okay I'll see yellow let's see how many roll I'm gonna ask we've got three and a four let's just go one two three four that is number 12 which is a favorite author okay fan and then our final roll was a contemporary by a favorite author and I have chosen all the rage by Courtney Summers this is one of Courtney Summers backlist and I am making my way through her backlist this is another one that I think is incredibly heavy hitting we're following a girl who is essayed and I think it's dealing with the aftermath it's the by the sheriff's son and everyone refuses to believe her I've read a few reviews and they say that it's like an incredibly unflinching look at what it's like to go through that experience and it's very accurate I always feel like when Courtney Summers deals with these you know difficult topics be that like she did in Sadie or the project or I'm the girl she does it with incredible amount of care and not sensationalizing anything or just like really thinking about the people who are victims of all of these different scenarios that she encounters and like writing the book that they need to read so I'm very excited to be reading this I'll be reading this next week actually and I'm really comfortable to it and excited to cross another one off of my Courtney Summers backlist so this is my spooky TBR one of some of these aren't spooky all the rages and and lots of them are found isn't but we've got uh the ballad of black tom as well and maybe the Marlon Maddox maybe the Marlon Maddox
