Welcome to Typical Books episode Two hundred and sixty-three. This coming June it will be ten years as a horror book show host! Many readers had done the New Year booktuber tag and I liked the flow of questions - making this a good precursor to my belated 2023 ranked video.
Mentioned in this video:

I talk scary books, extreme horror, classic, gothic, and everything in between. Helping you find the next best horror book to read is the goal, and sharing new and old horror from my #booktube shelves and new releases is how! Horror, nonfiction and even true crime can be found here as I find that human beings are the scariest thing of all.

With a birthday so close to Christmas, I prefer everything about that, especially the books!
It is the perfect time of year, being so snowy and cold here in Canada, to curl up for a week with this stack of great books.
With so many gifts, books I am reading right now, and one I picked up for myself, I figured a bookish haul video was in order.

I am attempting the Read What You Own challenge, as mentioned in the previous video. To start, I have a great clutch of books to pick from! This is about half of what I hope to read before I can buy my 'treat' book by the end of December. Also, I got a great shirt from @SynsBookNook and you should too!
Some of the books I plan on reading are:
Mothwoman by Nicole Cushing https://amzn.to/3uhkwEh
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury https://amzn.to/49DsYh0
The Butcher Boy by Patrick McCabe https://amzn.to/474sCOZ
The Only One left by Riley Sager https://amzn.to/47smqRf
Starling House by Alix E Harrow https://amzn.to/3SHplRk
Cold, Black and Infinite by Todd Keisling https://amzn.to/3SGQmnX
The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw https://amzn.to/3QZEpIT
...and quite a few more! Once I get some of these done, I'll do another round of picking from the shelves. If you are doing this challenge too, let me know!

A PSA to start - Toronto Police are searching for information on the death of Tess Richey. See the surveillance image of the last person to see her in November 2017, and if you have any information contact police right away - https://www.facebook.com/FindTessRichey/
Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates follows the mental deterioration of one Quentin P. Obsessed with his revolting and dark fantasies, he bounces between failing school and warped visits to a psychologist never quite fitting in either place. And that makes sense, where Quentin fits is somewhere between the most vile serial killer and manipulative creep imaginable.

It has been a good year for horror, and while 2024 promises to be better, how will I get to it all while reading less books? To end 2023 I talk about social media and how I've been slowly ditching a lot of it, and podcasts. Between the fun that is making a horror film podcast on Dead Air, and this show which is a podcast itself (an award winning one at that), I listen to A Lot of podcasts. I also talk a little about stress and how I refuse to let it in the door... and kind of always have.
As well, what I am reading of late and what you think I ought to read! Have a great end to 2023 and may the start of 2024 find you curled up with a good book!
Thank you for watching and have an ooky spooky day!
