Hi there, my name is Pam. Welcome to my booktube channel. I mostly read horror books, and every now and then I read a mystery book. I enjoy a good mystery, but my heart belongs to horror.
I'm looking for reading friends. As my channel grows (thinking positive here) I would like to do reading sprints and group or buddy reads. Mostly I just want to talk about books with other readers.

I absolutely LOVED this video, your attitude, and your answers. ❤️❤️❤️ I only wish we shared reading preferences! I read quite a wide variety of genres, but horror isn't one of them. (which I'm now regretting!) In fact, I have to admit, one of my favorite genres is the dreaded *cozy* mystery. 😂 I even occasionally read an interesting *romance.* 🤣 I do love Classic Mysteries though. Perhaps we have some overlap there? 🤔😎 Do you read any NonFiction? Biography? History? (I love all those, too.😁) Well, no matter what, I need to subscribe to your channel. You make me smile and nod, and that's a very good sign. I'm planning to do the 'BookTube Newbie' tag soon myself, as I just started a channel a couple of weeks ago. I hope I can make it *half* as entertaining and authentic as your video. 😊. ~Kim~
Hello, Pam, and welcome! Love the channel name! And nice to see a fellow horror/mystery reader!
Hello and welcome! I love Horror, Paranormal, Mystery, Fantasy, Scifi and more! What I DON'T like?.......not a romance fan! Look forward to talking about books with you :o)
Lovely video! Your intro is wonderful!
love your accent!!
You had me at "don't listen to anything I say". Lol I say that all day long! Welcome to book tube and its nice to meet you! Happy reading
Hello and welcome to book tube Pam. I’m still pretty new to all this malarkey and finding my way around. Look forward to hearing what you have to say. Best wishes with what you choose to read. I hope you get some great stories.
I love your shirt Pam ! And i love that you put in the video part of the thunderstorm as well (:
Thank you!! 😊 I love thunderstorms.
Hii Pam !!! Welcome to booktube, I’m happy I found your channel 🫶 can’t wait to see more videos
Thank you! 😁
You had me at "you make good cookies!" Ha ha! honestly though, the unique question is hard ! Welcome to booktube!
Thank you Melinda! I saw that question and remembered how much I hate job interviews. lololololol...
I also had many, many questions about the ending. I get the impression you're right, that it was done on purpose with the intent of releasing more books. We can only hope!
Fingers crossed. I really hope there's another book.
Such a lovely review! Very calming and peaceful to watch. I absolutely adored this book, and I think you had very measured and thoughtful opinions on it. I loved your little personal anecdotes sprinkled in
Thank you! It's funny how books can bring back memories.
Welcome to BookTube! I hope you enjoy the community here. One of my favorite genres is psychological thrillers. I have barely dipped my toe into horror but still deciding how much I really want to read of horror. Haha I used to judge the romance genre as well. I thought it was pure fluff, not very literary or well written, etc. And then a few years ago I read my first contemporary romance and was shocked! I really liked it. And now romance (certain types, anyway) is another favorite genre. My favorites are the ones that really get into the psychology of people's brains and why people act the way they act. Character development can make or break any genre for me, though.
Thanks Bonnie! So far I'm enjoying BookTube. I feels good to be able to talk about the books I'm reading. I'm guessing romance novels are different now than back in the 70's. I should take a look out of curiosity.
@@The.Spookologist If you did want to try one (and obviously absolutely no pressure! Reading should be fun and for you!) I would recommend Abby Jimenez (esp Just for the Summer) or Emily Henry (esp Funny Story). I love the characters in both of those.
@@BonnieNicoleWrites Thanks Bonnie. 😁
Welcome to BookTube. I just started to read Secret Prey by John Sandford yesterday and after reading the first 4 or so chapters it looks like a solid mystery. Yes, the fun and unique things question sounds a little like a job interview question to me. I appreciate your honesty. I'm also not a fast reader, but since starting my booktube channel, I think I'm starting to read faster. I read more books in a shorter time, but it still takes me around a week to finish a book (but I read multiple books at a time) No, you did fine. First 10 or 20 videos have hiccups I deleted my first couple of videos because I felt that they weren't me anymore.
Thanks Annie! I agree about the first videos. I've already started thinking when I get more videos up I'll probably go through these first ones and clean house. I think the first videos are almost like training videos. lol
The book review video was a prequel to The Storm video. LOL
You're right! lolololololol...
Jones 1963 sounds pretty good. Never heard of it before. As I get older, I do find myself rooting for the killer, especially in teen slasher movies. The kids can be really annoying and unlikable, so I just root for the bad guy.
I totally agree. lol
Hi Pam! Welcome to BookTube! I think you will find the BookTube community to be very welcoming. Best of luck with your channel.
Hi Pat, thank you for the welcome. 😁
@@The.Spookologist I hope you have fun! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
@@BookChatWithPat8668 Thanks Pat, I'll be watching your videos too. 😁
It's my favorite book. Read it 5 times, and I just visited The Stanley Hotel and stayed in Room 217 where King stayed. Was up at the Stanley for a week. The Shining is my favorite horror movie of all time. Watched it a million times. Well, maybe about 150 times. King did a TV mini-series in 1997 after he got the rights to the book back. He agreed not to bash the movie if he could do a mini-series. It was filmed at the Stanley where he stayed when he got inspired for the book. You might know a lot of this stuff by now. I'm just getting to your videos but I'm such a fan of The Shining I had to watch this one first. Welcome, to BookTube by-the-way. Check out the Stephen King tag it might be something you'll want to do down the road. The mini-series is hard to find on streaming but it might be uploaded on TH-cam.
Hello, Thank you for the welcome. It's so cool that you stayed at The Stanley Hotel, and in room 217! I'll look for that Stephen King tag, thanks for letting me know. Yes, I just learned about the Shining mini series. I'm working on tracking it down. I want to see it.
Welcome! I love your intro.
Hi Jess, thank you for the welcome. I had fun making the introduction. It's a simple little one but it took me forever. lolololol...
Hey welcome to booktube. I'm an avid horror reader as well. Glad to see new faces appear in the booktube space. 😊
Hello, thank you for the welcome. I just subscribed to you. BookTube is a small part of TH-cam, and horror readers is even smaller so I'm always happy to find another horror reader.
@@The.Spookologist oh same here same here. 🙂
Came by way of MJ. Welcome! [I've just started myself].
Hi Mark, thank you for the welcome. Right back at you! I just subscribed to you. 😁
Welcome to booktube! Cool channel name😊 Great job, looking forward to more of your content!
Hi Chris, thank you for the welcome. 😁
I admit to being a coward, and I would love to hear your take on how you can read dark/frightening fiction without being afraid. Or maybe you are afraid - in that case I'd love to hear you talk about how that fear doesn't affect your desire to read horror. I don't think I have heard another horror fic reader talk about that in detail, like maybe describe a particularly frightening scene in a favorite book and how you were reacting to it while you were reading. Can you tell I'm really curious about this?
Hi Heather, This is an interesting topic. I'm going to make a video talking about it this week.
Hello and welcome to booktube! 💕💕 I love your channel name so much and great video!
Hi Steph, thank you for the welcome. I'm glad you like the video; I wasn't sure about it but I put it up anyway. Just closed my eyes and jumped in. 😂
OK a newbie with attitude suits me . Suscribed
Hi Heather, thank you! I just went and checked out your channel and subscribed.
Welcome to the BookTube community! Love the overall vibe. Best of luck with your channel - I look forward to watching more of your videos. Happy Reading!
Thank you for the welcome. I'm having fun with this and also questioning my sanity for doing it. 😂
Welcome to Booktube! I like horror as well, but I also read fantasy too. Horror is my main genre but I like to read other stuff. Don't worry, you did great. Look forward to your next video.
Thank you David, I felt like I should have answered the questions more smoothly, but I left it because I want to just be myself for better or worse. lol
@@The.Spookologist Don't worry. It's more than just answering questions, let's everyone know more about the person.
Hi, Pam! I'm looking forward to hearing about all bookish things you want to share with us. From an oldie content creator to a newbie, welcome aboard. We're so glad to have you here!
Thank you for the welcome John. 😁
Charming presenter! (also I love your spencer tshirt lol) almost makes me want to read the book... No, let's be honest, it DOES make me want to read the book, but my practical mind is going, "NO. YOU KNOW WHAT HORROR GENRE DOES TO YOU. YOU WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN."
Thank you! I hear ya! I sleep fine after reading horror books, but if I wake up during the night and need to use the bathroom, my imagination goes on overdrive depending on the book. 😂🤣😂
@@The.Spookologist saaaaaame
Hi Pam, great video! I would love to see a booktube newbie tag from you, a great intro video all about you! Dr Sleep is so underrated, in my opinion. Love the squirrel 😂 So sorry it's not working for you, let us know about some of your favorite books by Stephen King. Tell me about some of your favorite 5 star horror novels, that would be awesome!
Hi Cliff, the booktube newbie tag sounds like fun; I'll check it out. Thank you for the ideas. I love Stephen King's writing and I can talk all day about it (I won't though lol). I'm going back to Doctor Sleep after I finish the book I'm reading now (Jones 1963, by Devin Cabrera). I needed a break, but I was enjoying it enough that I think I'll be glad I didn't DNF it.
@@The.Spookologist The Newbie Tag is the go to tag for new booktubers, that is where people find you. Happy Reading!
@@CliffsDarkGems Thank you. 😁
Ty for sharing your special little friend 😊
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching. 😃
Love the mugs! When I got to the end of the book, it didn't feel like the end of the book. I also have so many questions about it. I am hoping there is another book in the works otherwise it sours what would have been an amazing book.
I agree. The ending is my only issue with the book. If there is another book, that will save it.
pam its funny i found this today,i wanted to read this....now im going to for sure!!!!! thx Bonnie.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I put it off for years. lol
love your bookcase.
Thanks Bonnie! I'm liking my corner. I'm happy I decided to set it up.
great video!
Thanks Bonnie! 😎
hellloooooo!😊
Hi there! 😁
'IT' is amazing, King's character work is extraordinarily vivid. Hope you enjoy it, Pam!
Thank you! I'm excited about finally reading it. I almost didn't wait for October. lol
i want to read IT TOO!!!!!!
I'm thinking I'm going to read it in October. It seems like the perfect Halloween book.
hi Pam!😊❤😊
Hello! 😁
