I love just listening to Noelle talking about her views passionately about everything, it's so soothing, I just play it sometimes in the background and it calms me down and makes me all fuzzy and hopeful and also excited
I guessed the plot twist to Lock Every Door about halfway through, but I think the author did a good job of sprinkling hints here and there. Like the author lady signing all the books with “your youthfulness gives me life” or something like that.
On Lock Every Door: when I was reading it, I was telling my boyfriend about it - just the plot and my theories as I was reading. And the man straight up guessed "the why" in his first guess. He spoiled the book without having read the book!
I read Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin this month and man did this one catch me off guard on how anxiety inducing it was. More than just creepy, also stressful dynamic between the main character and her husband. Definate gave me chills! Wonderful wrap up as always. 🕸😊🎃
It’s so silly that people are rude in the comments when they like a book that you didn’t. Like...it’s all subjective...booktube is just about opinions so calm down haters
i finally read misery this month because of ur constant recommendations and i think it actually was my favourite book of october!! definitely the scariest. i'm currently reading pet sematary which i'll probably finish tonight, very interested to see how it ends
So happy to see Noelle's channel growing! Started watching over the summer and you have quickly become my favourite youtuber, always brightens my day when you post. Keep up the great content!!!
This month I read Perfume: A Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind and let me tell ya, if you like a mix of overly descriptive chem lab stuff and a fetish murderer that makes perfumes like I apparently do, I highly, hiighly recommend this. It was so wierd.
I’ve nearly read all of Kings books (I have about 7 left to go) every King fan has a King book they hate and several they don’t like 🤷♂️ the dude has like 70 books they can’t all be winners 😏
I read 5 books in October: Pet Sematary (Stephen King) - 4/4.5 stars The Sun and Her Flowers (Rupi Kaur) - 4 stars Horrid (Katrina Leno) - 4.5 stars Legendborn (Tracy Deonn) - 4 stars Home Before Dark (Riley Sager) - 5 stars Home Before Dark was my favorite followed by Horrid. I loved the plot twists from Home Before Dark and the story was awesome. Horrid gave me spooky supernatural vibes this month. Paired with some haunting classic music...I really enjoyed it.
The popsicle stick jokes are by far my favorite thing to look forward to every time there’s a new vid. Thank you for keeping me somewhat sane during a really rough time in my life 🖤
I actually agree with your take on Carrie. I think it's disheartening that people can't handle when someone doesn't like a certain book, I think it's like tea - just because you don't like super sweet tea doesn't mean the next person isn't going to like it either. It's definitely not my favorite King book I'm indifferent to it. But thank you for always being honest with us!
I relieved to see someone else that doesn't like Carrie, I'm a Stephen King superfan but this book didn't got me invested in the story and I know a lot of people think it's an Iconic book!
girl don’t worry about expressing your opinion! if people are saying things to you about “hurting their feelings” just because you thought a book was bad, they have much bigger issues and you shouldn’t be concerned with them. reading is for you and NO ONE ELSE
Mexican Gothic, I couldn't put it away, loooved loved, but the end, Idk.. not the best, but I gave 4/5 anyway because I've enjoyed soo much most of the time!
I enjoyed that it was sort of a love letter to classic gothic literature with a modern twist, but other than that I thought it was a very ok book. The ending was odd which is fine, but it didn’t stick the landing for me.
I read The Bloody Chamber. It's a collection of short stories, but man. The vocabulary is so rich. I actually found myself looking up word meanings. I really enjoyed the retelling of fairy tales and Angela Carter's take on them.
I read The Woman in White for my uni course, it's a classic 19th century novel (and I've actually decided to write my dissertation around the sensation genre, so I'm glad I did!!), and I was surprised at how the plot unfolded and how it has a nice mixture of leaving you in suspense but also letting you in on some liiiittle secrets throughout. Some good representation of strong women and issues around mental illness too!!
I completely agree with your opinion on Carrie! I read it recently and it took me so long to finish! My faves are also Misery & The Shining, so look forward to seeing what other King books you recommend 😊
My favourite thing I read this month was probably Red Dragon but I'm also reading American Pyscho right now (almost finished) and I think it's really fantastic!
I think my favorite read in October was Six of Crows. Such a fun fantasy heist story! I read it for a class, but had been meaning to read some Bardugo for a few months already.
The end of Lock Every Door shocked me!! My mouth flew open. I’m still not quite sure how I feel about it but I definitely have to give Riley Sager props for it!
Can't wait to read Lock Every Door and One by One. My fav book I read this October was Salem's Lot, the first Stephen King book I've read. He did a great job of depicting a little town getting insidiously taken over by vampires. Super creepy and really well written!
I agree with basically everything you said about One by One. I didn't figure out who the killer was because I dismissed it as a red herring. It's kind of a shame because I really enjoyed the whole concept of the novel.
I also read Carrie during October and REALLY enjoyed it BUT I also respect your opinion! Every book can't be right for everyone all the time - never gonna happen! I enjoy hearing opinions and perspectives that are different from mine because it helps me see certain aspects of the book in ways I wouldn't on my own and that's a good thing :) Oh and my fave reads from October are Pretty Girls, You Should Have Left, and I'm Thinking of Ending Things!
I don't really read horror or similar scary stories because they scare me, but I did finally get the chance to read the Hilda graphic novel series. I loved them so much, so fun and beautifully made. The animated series is equally nice!!!
My favorite book from this month was definitely the girls by Emma Cline! This was my version of a spooky Halloween read since I'm so bad with anything scary
Just found your channel and you feel like an old friend already. Probably helps that I've watched some moving vlogs and grad school vlogs. You do inspire!
my favorite would be The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. it's been awhile since I'm absorbing into a book. love the writing, the characters, and ofc the freaking the mystery of it! definitely need to finish the rest of the series this year (it's a standalone book series, you can read the other in every order and still makes sense). it's an ultimate fav of mine!!!
Love all your videos! Greetings from Greece. I finished Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King and just started mexican gothic by Sylvia Moreno Garcia. I loved Dolores Claiborne so much but mexican gothic does not exactly excite me, nothing to do with my favourite gothic books like Jane Eyre, wuthering heights and Frankenstein but i have to finish it to have a more specific point of view! Keep up the Good job, Noelle!
I actually ordered the Troop like 2 hours ago because you and Kat made me so eager to read it now! My spooky reads were: - Salem's Lot (King) which was my favorite this month, this book had EVERYTHING - Rosemary's Baby (Levin) second fav - the Ghost of Canterville (Wilde) I had no idea it was a bunch of short stories but still good - Haunting of Hill House (Jackson) very atmospheric - Pretty Girls (Slaughter) blew me away! I'm actually pretty satisfied :)
The secondary mystery not being solved in LED reminded me of the DEVASTATION of the *original* mystery not getting solved in tana french’s first Dublin murder squad book (I forget the name) and then thinking it’d be addressed in the next book in the series just to find out the main character shifts in every book????? You’re KILLING ME TANA
October was a really good reading month for me - I read Shining for the first time and absolutely adored it, it was sooo creepy! I also read The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud which was just exceptional, that haunted house... * chef's kiss * Oh and I read a really interesting thriller called Ragdoll by Daniel Cole which was a weird mixture of hilarious and horrifying lol
It seriously brightens my day when I have a new Noelle video to watch! I love hearing your take on different books.. and life in general. You're such a ball of fun and a breath of fresh air in these weird times we're living in. I read The Only Good Indians this month and I was really impressed by it! It's an indigenous horror story by an Own Voices author and I would LOVE to see you review it some day. Love how honest you are about your experience reading a book even if it is a King classic! Keep being your amazing self and I'll keep enjoying every last second of it that you share with us! Thanks for the awesome wrap up!
Read Frankenstein by Mary Shelley for the first time this month, good one and very surprising. I also read The Secret History (ready for the bookclub), some things I loved and some parts I didn't, a 3/5 for me.
Read Pet Semetary again, my 4th time and stilllllll chills! And I’m thinking of ending things...wtf!!! Almost done with Mexican Gothic, no green wallpaper or mushrooms in my immediate future
Great video! I think I'm getting the devil all the time next week at the library which I'm excited for. My favorite read in October was The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones - it was terrifying, funny and moving and had a stunning narrative arc about cycles of violence that really resonated with me. The audiobook was incredible too, and I cried at the end, which I almost never do at books! Wholeheartedly recommend
I feel the same about Cujo as you do with Carrie. So not what I heard it was and it sucked away a too much of my life. Got into quiet a slump after and the only thing I’ve been able to stick with is Sawkill Girls. So far so good but I’m nervous due to it’s polarizing reviews.
One of the books I read in October was Devolution by Max Brooks. I listened to the audiobook and wow!! I never expected to like this so much and the cast of narrators were awesome!! Who knew a Big Foot book would freak me out but it did. Get the audiobook!!!
I’m a scaredy cat but I read The Whisper Man because of your glowing review and OH MY GOSH I loved it!! Really great writing and a fun (sometimes terrifying) ride from beginning to end. Thanks for the rec!! 👻
it's the robby patty and tommy holly for me
“I read some really good books and some really disappointing books *under breath* c a r r i e”
Read this as she said it 😂x
If you read the book, you'll understand why😅
The popsicle stick jokes are incredible.
I love when TH-camrs accidentally find their thing. It’s the best lol
Not noelle just casually lifting a sledgehammer. Love that
“Some really disappointing books...Carrie” sent me 😂
Noo I thought the punch line was going to be “send them to their tomb” 😭
It's still funny to me that some people take it personally when people don't like their favourite books
I love how her little book tattoo is visible when she holds up a book
screw the Halloween candy, this upload is the only treat I need.
Wow. You are almost at 100k subscribers!! Great to see your channel grow.
Thank you so much!!! Seriously a dream come true 🥺
Such a character, my fave 😊
I love just listening to Noelle talking about her views passionately about everything, it's so soothing, I just play it sometimes in the background and it calms me down and makes me all fuzzy and hopeful and also excited
I feel you, I literally listen to her talking while i’m studying and I can’t explain it but it’s just so calming and motivating
I guessed the plot twist to Lock Every Door about halfway through, but I think the author did a good job of sprinkling hints here and there. Like the author lady signing all the books with “your youthfulness gives me life” or something like that.
HOLY SHIT.......I DID NOT GET THAT SIGNATURE UNTIL READING THIS. I hate it.
On Lock Every Door: when I was reading it, I was telling my boyfriend about it - just the plot and my theories as I was reading. And the man straight up guessed "the why" in his first guess. He spoiled the book without having read the book!
My favourite read of this month was The Silent Patient. So good.
I read Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin this month and man did this one catch me off guard on how anxiety inducing it was. More than just creepy, also stressful dynamic between the main character and her husband. Definate gave me chills! Wonderful wrap up as always. 🕸😊🎃
Ira Levin is so good at causing anxiety. Stepford Wives was the same for me.
i’m currently reading it too! i’ve seen the movie so i guess i kind of know whats coming but so far so good
It’s so silly that people are rude in the comments when they like a book that you didn’t. Like...it’s all subjective...booktube is just about opinions so calm down haters
i finally read misery this month because of ur constant recommendations and i think it actually was my favourite book of october!! definitely the scariest. i'm currently reading pet sematary which i'll probably finish tonight, very interested to see how it ends
I started this one and had to stop. So spooky! Will get back to it eventually.
"some disappointing books
*carrie*"
i listened to I'm thinking of ending things and I seriously can't stop thinking about it. It was incredible
I read my first Stephen King book! I chose Misery after hearing you rave and it was amazing!!
Me too but had to stop...
So happy to see Noelle's channel growing! Started watching over the summer and you have quickly become my favourite youtuber, always brightens my day when you post. Keep up the great content!!!
Noelle your shelves are AMAZING 😍 plus we love to see the Annie Wilkes outfit on you 🔥

@@NoelleGallagher
my fav from october was the shiningggg, what a masterpiece
Same! Now I feel a Stephen King binge coming on for me...
This month I read Perfume: A Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind and let me tell ya, if you like a mix of overly descriptive chem lab stuff and a fetish murderer that makes perfumes like I apparently do, I highly, hiighly recommend this. It was so wierd.
yes!! the perfume is reeeeeaaally good :)
@Sarah Senior please do, it's a gem
I read it for school a few years ago and LOVED it
@@lisaglaum8912 imagine a world where I could've read this book for school omg i wish
One of my favourite books! 💕📚
Hmmmm did noelle post yet? Let's check youtube.
1 minute ago.
And my Sunday has been made 😁
It's simple, really. Noelle posts a video, I drop everything and watch. 🧡
Same here. I am checking almost daily for the video.
I’ve nearly read all of Kings books (I have about 7 left to go) every King fan has a King book they hate and several they don’t like 🤷♂️ the dude has like 70 books they can’t all be winners 😏
Misery is my all time favorite King- surprised to hear you didn’t like Carrie though!
The throw of the popsicle stick gets me every single time 😂
I read 5 books in October:
Pet Sematary (Stephen King) - 4/4.5 stars
The Sun and Her Flowers (Rupi Kaur) - 4 stars
Horrid (Katrina Leno) - 4.5 stars
Legendborn (Tracy Deonn) - 4 stars
Home Before Dark (Riley Sager) - 5 stars
Home Before Dark was my favorite followed by Horrid. I loved the plot twists from Home Before Dark and the story was awesome. Horrid gave me spooky supernatural vibes this month. Paired with some haunting classic music...I really enjoyed it.
The popsicle stick jokes are by far my favorite thing to look forward to every time there’s a new vid.
Thank you for keeping me somewhat sane during a really rough time in my life 🖤
the best part of these videos is running to tell someone the joke and watch them watch me crack up
I actually agree with your take on Carrie.

It's definitely not my favorite King book I'm indifferent to it. But thank you for always being honest with us!
carrie was actually one of the only king books i was really invested in! but everyone has their own tastes :)
I relieved to see someone else that doesn't like Carrie, I'm a Stephen King superfan but this book didn't got me invested in the story and I know a lot of people think it's an Iconic book!
girl don’t worry about expressing your opinion! if people are saying things to you about “hurting their feelings” just because you thought a book was bad, they have much bigger issues and you shouldn’t be concerned with them. reading is for you and NO ONE ELSE
Robbie Patty / Tommy Holly
seriously. YES.
I agree 100% with your opinion on Carrie it felt like it was just bits and bobs of the same story
Mexican Gothic, I couldn't put it away, loooved loved, but the end, Idk.. not the best, but I gave 4/5 anyway because I've enjoyed soo much most of the time!
The ending was terrible. The book started soooo slow, then got interesting and the ending flopped. I gave it one ⭐️.
I gave it 3 stars. I found it kind of boring up until atleast half way through and then towards the end it got good. I didnt mind the ending.
I enjoyed that it was sort of a love letter to classic gothic literature with a modern twist, but other than that I thought it was a very ok book. The ending was odd which is fine, but it didn’t stick the landing for me.
I read The Bloody Chamber. It's a collection of short stories, but man. The vocabulary is so rich. I actually found myself looking up word meanings. I really enjoyed the retelling of fairy tales and Angela Carter's take on them.
I read that last month too! Literally haven’t stopped thinking of it since
My favorite by far was Sharp Objects. So glad I finally read it.
In the Dream House will be one of my top reads this year, for sure! It was a fantastic read
Is this a stand alone?
@@louisellefortier3555 Yep! It's her memoir
Just got it today. Can’t wait to read it.
I listened to David Spade's "Almost Interesting" based on your suggestion -- HILARIOUS! Audio book is def the way to go with that book.
So good right!!
I read The Woman in White for my uni course, it's a classic 19th century novel (and I've actually decided to write my dissertation around the sensation genre, so I'm glad I did!!), and I was surprised at how the plot unfolded and how it has a nice mixture of leaving you in suspense but also letting you in on some liiiittle secrets throughout. Some good representation of strong women and issues around mental illness too!!
Great video as always. My favorites this month were The Whisper Man and The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires.
Ahhh I want to read that slaying vampires book so bad! I hear it’s so good
Pet Sematary was an amazing read for me this month, but Smoke Gets In Your Eyes actually kept me up at night
fav book read in october - Death on the Nile !!!
I completely agree with your opinion on Carrie! I read it recently and it took me so long to finish! My faves are also Misery & The Shining, so look forward to seeing what other King books you recommend 😊
Favorite this month "Salt to the Sea". One of the best books I read this year. Highly recommend!
Omg! That kid in Troop you,re talking about gave me nightmares. Definately worse than the worms.
YES
My favourite thing I read this month was probably Red Dragon but I'm also reading American Pyscho right now (almost finished) and I think it's really fantastic!
I think my favorite read in October was Six of Crows. Such a fun fantasy heist story! I read it for a class, but had been meaning to read some Bardugo for a few months already.
I legitimately spent 5 mins laughing at “robbie pattie and tommy holly” hahaha
I LOVE the new book tattoo! Fits so perfectly popping out during the wrap up!!
THANK YOU I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING 🥺🥺🥺🥺
My favourite this month was Into The Drowning Deep by Mira Grant. It was literally everything I wanted it to be!
That is EXACTLY how I felt about one by one. Thank you for putting that into words!
I loved The Shadows! Considering many people say Whisperman is better, I can't wait to read it.
I'd just finished reading Misery before watching this video when you said ''I'm dressed as Annie Wilkes''
The end of Lock Every Door shocked me!! My mouth flew open. I’m still not quite sure how I feel about it but I definitely have to give Riley Sager props for it!
I just discovered your channel and I truly love your vibes. Catch me binge watching the rest.

- Pretty Girls (Slaughter) blew me away!
I'm actually pretty satisfied :)
I have around 100 pages left to finish in Pretty Girls. I'm hoping to finish it today.
Just finished “Lock Every Door”. It was good. Ending was somewhat anticlimactic. Still got three ⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me
Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage was my favorite October read! If you're in the mood for psychological, creepy kid, possession vs. mental illness stuff
The secondary mystery not being solved in LED reminded me of the DEVASTATION of the *original* mystery not getting solved in tana french’s first Dublin murder squad book (I forget the name) and then thinking it’d be addressed in the next book in the series just to find out the main character shifts in every book?????

Reading Frankenstein right now also.
woke up to a new noelle video LIFE IS GOOD
My favorite book of October is Rebecca, it's so good!
In the dream house, a monster calls and cemetery boys were my 3 favorites of the month. Just brilliant!
Read Pet Semetary again, my 4th time and stilllllll chills! And I’m thinking of ending things...wtf!!! Almost done with Mexican Gothic, no green wallpaper or mushrooms in my immediate future

My fav book this month was Mexican Gothic ❤️
Read Frankenstein, withering heights, and Dracula. Still can’t decide which one I liked best
I am about to read the troop in the next few weeks love you and your amazing channel love John from Australia xxxx and i agree with you on Carrie
Love the Cathy Bates extravaganza going on here
I feel the same about Cujo as you do with Carrie. So not what I heard it was and it sucked away a too much of my life. Got into quiet a slump after and the only thing I’ve been able to stick with is Sawkill Girls. So far so good but I’m nervous due to it’s polarizing reviews.
One of the books I read in October was Devolution by Max Brooks. I listened to the audiobook and wow!! I never expected to like this so much and the cast of narrators were awesome!! Who knew a Big Foot book would freak me out but it did. Get the audiobook!!!
Perfect start to my morning, noelle and coffee
Noelle laughing at her own jokes is top tier *chef’s kiss*
I enjoyed Carrie. I listened to it on auto. It was my first horror novel so maybe as I continue it will change 🤷♀️
Aww, I love Carrie! I read it in two sittings haha! But I am looking forward to reading Misery soon.
i guessed the halloween joke as "send them to their tomb" but I guess the world isn't ready for my spooky puns :/
I read Carrie as well & I hate horror. So I enjoyed it because I feel as though King wrote it like a case study/true crime novel.
Am I the only one who waits for Noelle's video whole day? And checks everyday if she has uploaded anything!
I’m a scaredy cat but I read The Whisper Man because of your glowing review and OH MY GOSH I loved it!! Really great writing and a fun (sometimes terrifying) ride from beginning to end. Thanks for the rec!! 👻
