Recently read The Only Survivors by Megan Miranda which kinda gave We Were Liars vibes but better writing imo.

The intro was the absolute mix of 80s Summer horror thriller ... stuff... and I am living for it

Lexiiiiiii 🥹💖😍 this is such an iconic video!!! Thank you so much for this recommendation list, you’re the best!! Can’t wait for Summerween 👻

My favorite part of summer is that I'm gonna be able sit by my pool and read a ton of books 😍🪓

I definitely recommend Hidden Pictures. A woman becomes a nanny to a young boy whose drawings become more and more sinister. Not like super scary. More suspenseful and a good mystery. The book is illustrated too so you see the boys drawings and how they evolve.

Loved this one too. Definitely have to read the physical book IMO.

Lexi that intro ❤❤ love. This list is so good , My Lovely Wife was so good , Gotta get Malice House. My fave part of summer is reading at the beach or on my patio with some iced coffee 🪓

That intro is literally everything. Gonna go watch Stand By Me tonight

My favorite parts of summer, in no particular order, are: air conditioning, good summer reads, summer fruit (especially cherries, peaches, watermelon).

YESSSSSSSS IM OBSESSED IM SOOOOO EXCITEDDDD WE LOVE YOU LEXI I love your sunmerween content 🪓

I love seeing love for Ocean at the End of the Lane! It so perfectly encapsulates being a child and the things that they notice. It's spooky and thoughtful and so different. I'd recommend the audiobook for a reread - Neil Gaiman narrates it, and it's fantastic!

Omg this intro is PERFECT

Never clicked so fast in my life when I saw the notification when I went online 😂😂😂 Excited for the list!!

What better way to end the day than watching a video of you, Lexi🤩 Thank you so much for uploading a new video🥰

I think this is my favorite video of yours ever ! I’ve literally been dying for some summerween books and this couldn’t have come at a better time. Also the intro? The Recs? The categories!? Incredible. I also love Grady Hendrix and my best friends exorcism was the first book I’ve read by him and I love it !

Summer of Night is phenomenal for all the "good ol days" style nostalgia for summer break, riding bikes with friends, and coming of age dilemmas. Just read Diavola and it was pretty good - a quick read. Definitely has all the "summer vacation with family trip gone badly wrong" vibes.

I loved, loved, LOVED Diavola! Perfect combination of "vacation from Hell" and "dumpster fire family", and a super engrossing read. I literally binged it in a day and was so upset with myself for not taking it slower. It was wild. The family was the perfect mix of "God, I hope these people get axe'd" and "Holy shit, you all better make it out of there alive!". Like, even our POV character had moments of supreme insufferable-ness. As someone with one of those "can't live with them, can't live without them" families, the drama was spot on.

🪓 oh my gee, I loved that intro!! I read The Fury a couple of weeks ago (very surprising since I don't do thrillers) but it got me out of a reading slump and I absolutely loved it!! Now I am trying to read thrillers a lot more. I've always been a fan of horror and horror books so that side i'm OK on. I will always recommend The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty. I also recommend The White Road by Sarah Lotz. It's a thriller I read last year and I absolutely loved it too! xoxo

Only committing to spooky middle grades because I can’t handle more 😂

Ugh I love the synopsis of a horror book but too scaredy cat to read them 😅

🪓 I enjoyed this video thanks! I will add those books in my list . I am a big fan of Halloween love and enjoy scary, thriller, slashing, hunting movies and books! 💜💚

It just started raining where I am as I started to watch this video...summerween vibes!! 😄

I love the intro! I just read My Lovely Wife and it was really good!

I could not be more excited for summerween & to see this list! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I can't wait for Summer ween!! This is my first time participating in it. I got a shirt for it! I will be reading while sipping on pumpkin spice coffee while instrumental Halloween music plays in background. I took my time to think about what books I wanted to read and finally decided on..1. psycho 2. Hollowed-sleepy Hollow with a twist. 3. Shade-Frankenstien with a twist. 4. Salt and Broom - Jane Eyre with twist. 5. Murder in the Villa. I'm super excited!! My favorite part of Summer is the abundance of nature 🍄‍🟫

How can I save money when I keep seeing books I want to buy!! 😭😂 I love the Scooby Doo looking one! My favourite part of summer is the sun, not heat but just... sunny days! 🌞 Although we've had an unseasonably cold summer where I am in the UK! 😢

I just read The Body and I cried at the end. Such a beautiful book! The Ocean at the End of the Lane is similarly touching and nostalgic.

Thank you for all the book recommendations and for the intro. This intro made my evening! I miss seeing all that goodness - summer camp horror vibes.

I am beyond happy that you mentioned The Ocean at the End of the Lane 🥹 it is my absolute favourite! It fits the theme so so much and was the first one I thought about for the first category! ❤

Loved that intro!! So many great books. I can't wait for summerween

Love this video and recommandations. Love the summerween vibe 👻🎃🎈 Sending you love from Paris ✨

Thanks for all the recs and I love your t-shirt! Very 80’s 💙🤍🩵💚💛🧡❤️😊

I love Malice House so much!! For the summer camp category, you might enjoy I'll Never Tell by Catherine McKenzie. It's a mystery/thriller I would recommend to fans of The Last Time I lied

Not a horror thriller person AT ALL but here for the sunshine Lexy vibes ❤

Hi Lexi! Love your videos as always and you inspired me to start my own Booktube channel! Keep creating amazing videos

It and Joyland are in my top three favorite King books (thus far, he's written a lot)

I'm sooooo excited for Summerween! I've participated before and hope that I can with a trip happening right in the middle. I have a copy of The Lake House that I haven't read yet but am absolutely obsessed with the cover!

Love summerween & seeing all the summerween TBRs❤

Joyland is so fun!! 🪓🪓🪓

I was waiting for this for one year!!! Let’s goo

🪓 I ADORE summer horror and thrillers!! My favourite books in those categories are Salem's Lot and I Killed Zoe Spanos; for movies and TV - Midsommar and Sharp Objects; for anime - Higurashi, Shiki and Another. I'm really excited to read It, Pet Cemetery, Summer of Night, Goth, Summer Fireworks and My Corpse, The Main Character, some Riley Sager and the manga The Summer Hikaru Died! I also want to watch Blood+ and Summertime Render as well as rewatch some of my faves!! My favourite part of summer have to be the long beach days, staying until the shadows overtake the beach, and you're so tired but so content. Second to that are walks in the hot sun, listening to summer songs or an audiobook, almost no one on the streets beside you.

Thank you for these recommendations, Lexie! I live for horror! 🪓🖤

These are great recs! This came at such a great time as I am having a Summerween themed day next week! Thanks Lexi! 🎃👻🍂

Loved the video and thanks for the new book recommendations🤩 🪓

Great recommendations! These books are perfect for the summer. One little criticism, the jump-cuts get a little distracting. Just trying to help a girl out. But thank you for the awesome recommendations. I definitely want to read the Ocean at the End of the Lane. ❤️

That intro was sooooo goooood!!!!!! ❤

I AM SCREAMINGGGGG this intro is EVERYTHING

Such a great video! Love these recommendations. Thanks

This really is the ultimate sumerween list - so well thought out ❤

Im so excited to take part in Summerween! I'm going to be reading Silver Nitrate this month

✨✨✨ you knew I needed something to listen to to get through laundry and summerween prep 🥰😂❤️

Hahaha I’m happy to be there for you!! 😂❤

Im about to read Middle of the Night by Riley Sager. I really hope its good! I just finished Legends and Lattes and loved it! My favorite part of summer ☀️ is probably having delicious cold drinks 😂 Im really more of a Fall girly.. Im ready for sweater season haha

Thank you for the reccomendation🥰 I added a lot to the pile of possibilities again. 😁👻

Loved this video!!🪓

I am reading My best friend's Exorcism! I've read Joyland and I enjoyed it!

My creepy summer read recommendation is Our Crooked Hearts by Melissa Albert. And my favorite part of summer is the food. All fresh fruits and grilled everything! 🪓

Thanks for the recs... I found a couple of books on your video that I'm ordering today :) Wanted to ask if you have read Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes." If you want a spooky throwback (with some seriously creepy moments) and set in summer, with a couple of "meddling kids," this one is great :)

Love the recommendations! 🪓📚🫀🖤🩸❤️‍🔥

Malice House and Home is Where the Bodies Are were both so good.

You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight is one of my faves! So glad you included it. Also, I am doing a very similar theme to those meddling kids for my summerween and we must have been on the same reddit thread because I have that book on my list too.😂

Such a spooky cozy video, thanks!😊❤

You give all the good vibes every single video! 🪓 My favorite part of summer time is all the cute iced drinks! And fireworks in July 😁

Me when the only horror movie I've seen, when not covering my eyes and ears, is Midsummer as a scaredy cat hahahaha. I really enjoyed The Main Character and it deserves more love!!!

My Best Friend's Exorcism is such a fun book!

🪓 love summerween!

That intro omg 🤯🔥

🪓🪓🪓 I always Loved the middle grade book/mystery titled the Ghost Next Door by Wylly Folk St. John. It is a fun creepy ghost story mixed with those Meddling kids vibes.

ok you had me at "it's set in the 80s"! I'm reading 'My Best Friend's Exorcism' this summer or bust!🪓

Thanks Lexi! My library had every single one on audiobook! I do not normally read anything scary, so I could be in for some sleepless nights😅

Lex!!! You HAVE to read Liar’s Beach by Katie Cotugno! I know you love rich people drama and murder mysteries. You NEED to pick this up! I got it for $5 at the Barnes and Noble café. I was having a rough day earlier last week and needed a pick me up so I went to B&N and they had this book for $5 with a café purchase! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! The second book is called Hemlock House and drops August 13th!!

Such a Bad Influence fits messed up families! My favorite thing about summer is longer day light!

loved the recs 🪓

Fav scary books: The Hollow Places and The Twisted Ones by T.Kingfisher. I also love The Pallbearers Club by Paul Tremblay, although that is apparently not a popular opinion. Thanks for the fun list!

Love summerween! Really enjoyed Diavola, it is the perfect summerween read!

I love The Last Time I Lied! 🏕️

That introoooo 🤩🤯

Thanks for the great recommendations 🪓

Im usually a fantasy reader but I'm not too picky and dabble. I like thriller and horror.. romance.. I'm trying to add more creepy books to my TBR.. but I loved my best friends exorcism.. so good. I so loved butcher and blackbird and leather and lark those were my only 5 star reads this year and my fave books overall. I guess u can call those scary at times. Serial killers are involved. But soooo good. 😊

I loved reading Lute so much. I also recommend Mary ny nat Cassidy if you haven't read it already.

🪓 Come Closer by Sara Gran is probably my favorite horror I’ve read. Followed closely by Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Diavola is on my TBR this summer-the cover is stunnin’! But I’m reading When No One is Watching by Alyssa Cole for Summerween. Trying to hit all five prompts with one book 😅

Thriller recommendation: The Night Villa by Carol Goodman. It's very dark academia vibes but set on an island in Italy. Full of myth and lore

This was an awesome list! 🪓

I just finished Dead Silence by SA Barnes. Really good sci-fi ghost space ship, what is going on, what’s real feel from a book. Was very good.

I have been wanting to read Main Character since it can out.😊I am next in line on Libby for Diavola. Read Malice House 🤯 Home is where the bodies are ❤🪓. Favorite part of summer is the fresh air.

my favorite scary book is The Haunting of Blackwood House by Darcy Coates I read this book in December of 2022 and I still think of it to this day.

Diavola did make me want to go to Italy again and I loved the gothic summer vibes🪓

Your intro was sooo good ❤❤❤❤

Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant....killer mermaids!!! 😱🧜‍♀️ it's really good!!

Great book suggestions! I just finishedThe Only One Left by Riley Sager. It was a really good, creepy, atmospheric story.

An excellent thriller/mystery to read in the summer is “every time I go on vacation someone dies” It is very funny, but THE TENSION is real

I don't read thrillers/horror books that much, but I do like Mexican Gothic, and I am planning on reading The Hacienda soon. My favorite part of summer is my birthday and just reading all the good books 🪓☺

Omg best intro everrrrrr

Old school favorite...Sweet Valley Twins: The Curse of the Ruby Necklace. I read it the summer of 6th grade and have been a summerween girl ever since!

I'm in one of the worst reading slumps again so I'm 100% willing to get back into it 👍👍

Ahhhhhhh summerweeen yasss 👻🎃👻🎃

LEXI - please read and review Hannah Tate beyond repair. Halfway through and it’s so good. A blend between summer and fall (set in the blue ridge mountains). I’m quite picky about romance but this one is fabulous.

🪓 Thanks Lexi 😁 A great thriller/mystery I read earlier this year was Night Film by Marisha Pessl. So good!

Highly recommend Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay! It's a new release about a "cursed" film that was never released but has reached cult status on the internet and is being remade by Hollywood. The story follows the sole survivoring cast member as he tells the story of what happened while the film was being made and what has happened since. Each chapter has a portion of the film's script, and the audiobook treats these sections as a table read by the actors, complete with flubbed lines and the sound of pages turning. It's less a "scary" story and more a slow-burn horrifying one.

Hello, lovely one! What was the title of that song you wisely chosen for the opening?

Happy Summerween from Spain 🎃⛱️ 🪓🪓
