I’ve followed you for a while and I’ll be honest, I never watched your extreme horror content. I just knew it wasn’t for me. But I do enjoy seeing the journey/growth you’ve experienced recently. Thank you for always being so transparent with us. I’m personally happier to see your content won’t include extreme horror anymore but more importantly, I’m glad for YOU and the choices you’ve made to take care of yourself.❤️❤️
I don’t do extreme horror myself but I love Hailey’s channel for her thriller and mystery recos
I am EXTREMELY PROUD of you for making a change that was necessary for you even if it lost viewers and also for being able to talk about it. I hope you find more peace as a result. ❤
This Extreme horror conversation is so important in the horror book comunity. Ive personally experienced the thoughts of not being accepting for not liking extreme horror or not considering it good literature but im happy to hear of your progress
Beautifully said Hailey. You were very vulnerable in this vlog but you articulated yourself so well. I am very proud to watch your videos and follow your journey. I'm so pleased you feel like you're in a better space now. You bring great energy to the internet, so real and fun. Take care and thanks for sharing xx
People grow and change. Who you are now is an evolving person who has learned from past experiences. Be proud of ongoing changes and don't beat yourself up for that earlier person who was struggling and learning and changes. You are a shining being!
I really appreciate your voice in the book community in general, especially speaking about the horror genre. Proud of you Hailey 💕
SO EXCITED FOR RILEY SAGER
it slaps !!!!! the stranger things vibes are strong
i appreciate your conversation about extreme horror. i am a newer viewer who only occasionally reads a crazy horror/thriller but i love your videos/recommendations and glad to have you in the booktube community! mental health is so important to talk about, thank you for sharing and keeping this a safe space for others. also your tattos are so beautiful.
Thank you for leaving that part about extreme horror in. It was so vulnerable and opened you up to potential backlash but it was definitely appreciated. Cheers to a safer, more respectful community 💕
Makes a ton of sense about how the way we feel about ourselves as women impacts our consumption of media- I definitely used to read a lot more graphic works and that is not for me any more. I think it definitely reflects a lot about the stage of life you are in and how you view yourself and the world
You’re such a beautiful and compassionate person, I love that you are so open and vulnerable with us, it validates parts of me for some reason. You may have gotten popular from extreme horror but that doesn’t mean you have to stay reading those books, it’s okay for you to step away from the genre and pick up better books that you’ll enjoy. Thank you for being so real with us 🩵🩵
It's really validating to hear that other people had a similar experience reading that extreme horror. It was difficult to get through not because of the horror or gore, which I usually love, but because the brutal scenes often felt pointless. I fluffed up my rating because of who the author is, and I thought maybe I was missing something. Thank you for talking about this ❤
Allie is always so thoughtful, and I love listening to her commentary. I used to consume a lot of unfortunate and outright dangerous media when I was a teenager, which I think was a way of punishing myself for the things I disliked about myself.
I wanted to get into thrillers and I am so happy that when I searched recommendations you popped up! I have been binging all of your videos and you are so fun and sweet and love your content!!!
LOVE seeing this personal growth realness from you. Thank you for sharing!
Love you Hailey! This was so honest and wonderful. Fully support you❤
I just subscribed. I have watched your videos for a couple of months and absolutely love your style your voice BUT I always wondered why or how you could enjoy extreme horror. So proud of you for today's content. You are so strong and it takes a lot of courage to do what you did today. Thank you so much. And loved today's recommendations.
Ooh girl I needed a reading vlog so bad!❤️
I love your thriller recs and am glad you’ll be focusing on them
Just started Riley Sager’s new book!! Love him!! 🤓📚
Oh my gosh Hailey, your vulnerability is so moving. Thank you for being so transparent ❤
I always enjoy your content, also it’s your channel and you can talk about whatever you want, please don’t be so hard on yourself❤
Thank you for being open, honest and vulnerable in your videos. I think you are an absolute queen. It says a lot about you as a person and your growth to admit your thoughts or feelings have changed re reviews based on things you have learnt since etc. it is very courageous to be so open about your thoughts, especially after the absolute vulgar abusive shit you have had to deal with from some people in the book community. Thanks again for another excellent vlog xx
Omg I was so excited when I saw the new Riley sager book in the thumbnail! I’ve been so looking forward to it, and now even more with your recommendation :) also side note I’m obsessed with the teal shirt you were wearing in the first clip, that color is amazing 🤩
How wonderful that you able to recognize how you have grown and changed and healed ….. and, that you are sharing your thoughts with your audience ….. you an honest, beautiful soul ❤ love your channel … you are a book tuber to be admired ….
PS ….. I especially like your introductory song ….. its so you ❤
Very interesting and open discussion! Thank you! I read that book because of your recommendations - I remember pulling away from horror after reading that book because it was too much for me. So hearing you break down extreme horror and your thoughts was super helpful- might need to give horror another try after hearing you talk. Can I ask- didn’t you share that the author was a friend?
I would love for you to make a new horror book recommendation video for books that do horror the right way!!
Omg I want to give you a hug ❤ that was such an honest and intelligent explanation
Your honesty and accountability is so refreshing and awesome ! And I get you but also glad to hear your reasoning bc I tried to read a book you rated high and I was like man she has a stronger stomach than me lol
So I just checked and that was the book lol. I had to dnf that crapper
You just keep getting more and more polished with every post! Appreciated your honesty re: extreme horror 😢. Loved the changes of scenery and the fruit tarts - yummy 😋
I was a bit disappointed with Middle of the Night...I just love when Riley does wild unhinged twists! :P
I finished middle of the night earlier today and Riley Sager hit it out of the park again. it was so good.
from what you are saying you feel better without extreme horror in your life now. And that is the most important thing. You are amazing and enjoyable to watch ❤
I’m so sorry that all of that awfulness happened to you 😔 I’m glad things are better now though and that you’re enjoying TH-cam more!!
I was getting worried about Middle Of The Night because I saw a few say they were disappointed. Now I'm excited again because I love everything you said about it! This was such a fun vlog🩷🤌🏼
Thank you for your vulnerability!! You are amazing❤
Extreme horror is still okay, if you’re very diligent and careful about the ones you pick. I think there can be a surrealist, sensitive approach-but so much is sloppy and misogynistic, that it can be hard to find.
Thank you for being so real horror isnt something I read but I always watch your horror content too!!! I'm so excited for Riley Sager I'm going to use my birthday credit for Book of the Month next month and read it in July.
I was always fine with extreme horror until it was disturbing and horrific towards women --- and then until the authors of it went insane and attacked, bullied, and targeted women that spoke against their books. there's nothing more telling of someone's character than when they are told "it's terrible the way you treat women in your book" and they leap directly to attacking and attempting to humiliate the reviewer. horror can be fun and even meaningful, but authors that focus on hurting women both fictional and real make it not so.
I have been watching you for years and you are awesome but I think you need a new intro song maybe something bubbly like you maybe you should ask your subscribers to vote on it your friend always carrie
Great vlog and happy summer 🏝️ 📚🧋🦇💀👻
Very insightful speak re: extreme horror 👏👏👏 10000% truth.
Also: SO excited for the new Riley sager 🥳💃
I change ratings all the time! Sometimes I really enjoy a book, then get a perspective of how it hurt someone, and I re-rate it or remove the rating and leave a note. Also if you can only write 1 type of portrayal of women, you aren't a very good writer...
Idk if this is unpopular but I’m not mad at Riley sager writing from a woman’s perspective I was convinced he was a woman for the longest time 😂. He writes it well, and I can’t wait to pick up this book with his first male perspective.
My book club felt the same way when we read Lock Every Door (an easy 5 star for all of us)!
14:19 “Alexander Hamilton mode” 😂 I felt that lol that’s THE face wash hair style, at least for me. Lol
Thank you, for sharing and being real ❤
I have since gotten a refund from Amazon for my purchase of THEM after listening to part of this discussion. I got it based on your recommendation but I hadn't read it yet. Thank you. ❤
I always had to avoid your extreme horror as it triggered me so I’m glad! ❤
Happy Reading! 😎📚👍
I love ya sweet girl and just today found you on IG! My girlfriends turned me onto Crossfire. (Late to the party), I’m 2/4 through and needed a pallet cleanser and started the new Riley Sager book on Audible. I also have a 6 hour road trip tomorrow so taking “The Last Time I Lied”. Didn’t plan for a Riley weekend haha, it just lined up with his new release. This is going to sound ridiculous, but I’ve been a “reader” for 20 ish years (I’m 41). I have no idea what a horror is vs thriller. Is that bad? I just love books. I love all and any, except fantasy, however i’ve never read any. Ok that was a tangent. I’m proud of you for making this video!! ❤thx for sharing your love of books with us, please never stop!!
Not Alexander Hamilton mode 😂😂
Really loved this vid but especially your extreme horror discussion. i recently read one that i gave five stars and one that i gave one star, and i'm honestly trying to figure out my own relationship with the genre. the question of "what did i like about it" i think is so important and ive caught myself giving high ratings to some pretty heinous shit (and surprise surprise the authors turned out to be scumbags). i think ive desensitized myself to a lot in the name of "loving horror" and its something i think i need to reevaluate. thank you for talking about this ❤❤❤
Personally, I LOVED Middle of the Night. ❤ I read that book as an ARC a couple months ago and I still think about it almost every day. I loved how emotional and dramatic this book is and I actually thought it was refreshing to read a not-so-twisty Riley Sager novel. Sometimes there are so many twists in his books that I just can't follow! Not Middle of the Night, and I loved that! Also, the ending made me sob like a spoilt little kid. 😅 It is now my second favourite RS novel. And honestly? If it were up to me, RS would only write male main characters from now on.
OMG HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT THE NEW RILEY SAGER BOOK!!?😩
I loved this VLOG! I love me some Thriller books! Do more videos like this with thriller books. Just LOVE IT. Oh and by the way, you look great without makeup! Wish I could go without makeup and look that good, but I am 54 LOL Thanks for the recommendations!
I’m glad you kept the part about extreme horror in the video and I’m proud of you for having the courage to speak about it. You’re always so well spoken. To shift gears I also just recently read Dark Corners and enjoyed it. I didn’t even think about her disliking the influencers because I was in agreement with her annoyance of them. I’m 32 and can’t stand the influencer crowd but that’s a me problem. 😂 Can’t wait to read Riley Sager’s new one!
That’s it… I’ve had What Happened To The Bennett’s on my shelf for ever so I’m reading it next.
What was that green saucey stuff u put on top of the chicken and rice??
I felt the exact same way about The Only One Left by Riley Sager! I hate that whiplash feeling. It was only a few months ago that I read it, and I’ve already forgotten like the whole plot. LOL.
This was probably the most realistic Riley Sager book that he's ever written. It really highlighted the struggles of guys, especially back in the early 90s... and it had a positive/realistic view of male friendship. It had a certain sadness and depth that was deeper and more intense... but I'm also a gay male so that could be why this book spoke to me.
I actually love EH and love your extreme horror, Im just not one of the assholes who ruined it for everyone 😂
I love love watching your channel. You are soooo pretty, intelligent and your vlogs+your recommendations are amazing. ❤💙😘😍🥰🧡🤗😇
Okay but you popped off with those tarts though 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
On a much lighter note compared to my last comment - I adore hearing your opinion about all of these books. I've been wanting to read all of them (I have read Dark Corners), but I'm so hyped for Middle of The Night, I need to get my grubby little hands on it. Also... those tarts look so good, is there any particular recipe you followed?
Where are you’re bow earrings
from? 😍
I CACKLED at the "boyfriends that haven't read a page since 'Give A Mouse A Cookie.'" My sister and I agree that if we have to start over on the relationship front, we REQUIRE partners that read. 😂❤
Thanks!
Ooh I can’t wait to read Middle of the night!!!😊
I never read Lisa S. anymore I always assume she is one of those authors who have a formula and keeps cranking them out. (I'm looking at you Stephen King, slow your roll) (James Patterson, John Grisham. )You know, airport throwaway. Now I am excited and I going to pick this up right away! SA Cosby is one of my favorite Insta-buy 5 star authors.Thanks!
I own several Scottoline books bought at book sales but haven't read one yet! 😂
Yes u are. I got that book on Libby asap.
I'm not an extreme horror girly but I've always watched your videos. I'm here for you and love your discussions and I love how you've always spoke your mind.
I've been meaning to message you as you are someone vocal about Extreme Horror and the bullshit around it, but were you aware of the two extreme horror authors (Otis Bateman and Stephen Cooper) who were involved in harassing women and predatory behavior in all forms (including sexually) as well as sending nudes of said women back and forth between each other, mocking a rape victim, and no idea what else. But legal action has been taken against them. I've yet to hear anyone talk about it on TH-cam (hopefully out of respect for the victims). But one of the victims has been vocal on Facebook.
I have a hard time with extreme horror and appreciate your thoughts on it (I'm also a new subscriber, hi!). I forget what book it was but I read a popular book where women are tortured and raped and as someone who was in an abusive relationship myself I can't understand how anyone could enjoy those kinds of books. Although I did read A Little Life and have very conflicting feelings about that one which can be considered torture porn though it's not horror. IYKYK.
Totally agree, Megan Goldin's writing is the definition of "explain it to me like I'm 5 years old"
Can't read her stuff.
Those fruit tarts look bomb!! lol
The tarts look delicious
your comment on an Audio book narrator sounds like Shane Dawson had me lol you made me search his channel on TH-cam bc I haven't seen him on my feed for a while (obv I am no longer subscribing him 😂) and omg I literally LOLed when I saw his channel icon picture 😂😂
😂I can't hear Shane Dawson because u got it on playback speed x985367😂😂. I'm curious, do u listen to it going that fast?? I couldn't even HEAR much less understand...omg that was hilarious
Hey could u please review The last Passenger by Will dean..! Please?
How is the narration????
In sager new book
I refuse to read extreme horror, I don’t get it. I love regular horror, but I will not read extreme horror. It’s too much. I don’t mind if other people read it, but I can’t. I just don’t want to be triggered or that disgusted.
I’m very excited to pick up Middle of the night and Dark corners based on your reviews . On another I adore your videos and have since I discovered your channel quite early on. But I will admit I really struggled and actively avoided the extreme horror videos simply because I knew it wasn’t for me and as someone who has also previously seeked out misogynistic vitriol to punish myself, I caught on that may have been the case for you as well. I’m so glad you grown and are able to reflect. It shows a phenomenal strength of character and introspection. 💙🤍
Hailey, you make us all Bookish people feel heard 📚🫶🏾 Keep doing what you’re doing!
And for what it’s worth, you look fantastic! Ppl are so strange 🙄
