You really do a great job in going over a book and giving us a good idea what the book is about without a lot of spoilers! I appreciate this skill!
thank you so much🥹🫶🏻
I love how real and genuine you are with your reviews. Half the books you mentioned everyone always just says they loved it but don’t point out the small flaws that I saw too. And thank you for educating us on tw for The Last Housewife. You’re the only booktuber that I’ve seen mention those! ♥️ love your mind & opinions Mel pls keep blessing us with your content!
this is so sweet, thank you❤️🔥
I just made this account and decided to do this challenge for my first video, so I looked up other people's takes on it and yours is probably the best one I've seen. I really like how you talk about your opinions of the books and the plot, because a lot of people focus on the meta 'this is the synopsis, these are the tropes', I also liked how you weren't afraid to say you didn't like some of the endings.
omg thank you🥹❤️🔥
As a french person your comments have really put me off the paris appartement cause i hate the "all french are rude and unwelcoming" stereotype x)
UGH It is SUCH a stupid and annoying stereotype! All French people I’ve met (but 1) are so freaking sweet!
I've been to Paris 7 times for work purposes and everytime people are so rude and unwelcoming :/ maybe because I'm an Arab Muslim (cuz racism and islamophobia are so normalized there and Muslims don't have any human rights) so yeah it's not a "stereotype", it's true (maybe not all but the majority).
De ouf comme si Emily in Paris était pas suffisants, tout les livres qui prennent place à paris nous font passer pr les pires personnes possibles
True
me too! i was really surprised at how much it was used in the book😭
i’m the same, i love thrillers simply because i love the adrenaline you get from the jump scares and the fear you get when you read. but if it’s clowns i’m throwing up
omg not the clowns😩😭😂 but yes to all of this! gives me anxiety sometimes, but if the payoff is good, i'll endure it lmao
Dang, ok Mel coming through with all the biggest thrillers of the year in one epic vlog! 🤩
If you’re looking for more crème de la crème of the 2022 thrillers I implore you to pick up Notes on An Execution. Truly top tier! 👌👌
i own that one too👀 hoping to read it at the start of next year!
I’m reading my first ever thriller/mystery so this is good timing for me!❤📖
omg yes!!! i hope you're enjoying your first one🫶🏻
I dont know why! But putting on ur videos and your voice is just so smooth! It helps me read! Like ur videos are great videos i put on while
I read! Love them
🥹🫶🏻
I want to let u know that your videos help me calm down from having a emotional breakdown and being pregnant with baby 5. Your such a inspiration to me.
ms mel you are GLOWING in this video!
aweee tysm🥹❤️🔥
Paris Apartment sounds like Lock Every Door!
now i'm extra curious, cause i've been wanting to read lock every door for a while🤨 wonder if that'll do the trick for me👀
@@MelReads I went into it with too high expectations as it was one of the first thrillers I read, but when I read read I'll rate it higher 😂
I’ve had It Girl on my TBR since it came out 👀
👀👀👀
Mel and her reading vlogs!!! Heavens in earth....Mel talk pure bliss aesthetic top notch....and plz plz consider starting a podcast we need more of you!!!!!!!!!
coming soon🥹🫶🏻
@@MelReads yèeesssssssss
The House Across the Lake is so good!! One of my favorite Riley Sager’s🤩
can definitely see why! camp in the best ways🕺🏻
Omg this was such a good video winter is coming and thrillers are defs the vibe rn!! ✨❤️❤️❤️ also the range of looks in this vid 👁️😍
i truly love the thriller/winter vibes!! highkey a bit more than during spooky season👀
I loved the push and also gave it 5 stars. I didn’t think i was going to like it but it might be my favourite of the year.
okay but this! i think i'm in love with character studies in book format😍
Omg the house across the lake!! I'm so excited to see what you think about it because i've been wanting to pick it up ❤
🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻
If I read so many thrillers in such a short time, I’d have such a hard time sleeping!
that's me with horrors😂
Omg, I love your style, girl!
I have read three of Lucy Foleys books this year and after two 2 Stars, I gave the Paris Apartment 4 Stars because I REALLY liked it 🤣 amazing how different people can feel about the same thing 😅
does the paris apartment go back and forth a lot between different timelines or is it chronological? because i can’t deal with non chronological books haha
okay but we love a good turn around!!
it tends to stay in chronological, but depending on the chapter you might get flashbacks as well!!
@@MelReads thank you!!
the Paris apartment was the first Lucy Foley I read, and I loved it😭
i finished the paris apartment a few days ago it was okay and today i’m starting the house across the lake
ooo i hope you enjoy it❤️🔥
I don’t love thrillers in general, but one I really enjoyed was Alyssa Cole’s When No One Is Watching.
ugh this one was so good! the horror overlap in it is fantastic🕺🏻
@@MelReads it really is! And love the way the end left everything unsettled and trailing off into the future!
Excellent summaries of these books
I’ve figured that Ruth Ware isn’t for me, I’ve never been able to get through her books until The IT girl and I didn’t enjoy that one. At first I was like oh this is okay? within the first half but then it ended… and took ages to get to that ending because I was just like okay, hurry up? I was really bored. And I’m so scared to read the house across the lake but now you’ve been someone who has enjoyed it I’m gonna give it a chance. My fave sager is 100% the last time I lied. Omg the last house wife is my fave thriller release of the entire year - it’s SOOOO good
totally felt this! the beginning was good, but the more it dragged, it draaaagged😩 and listen, the last time i lied is my next sager👀
This was so fun! I'm still trying to figure out what I like in thrillers but The Push is one of my favourites!
ugh yesss, taste!!
I love your channel and you should try reading some Lisa Jewell Books, she's very good at writing romance-ish thriller books. I recommend Watching You, I Found You and Then She Was Gone!
I seriously love your reading vlogs and reviews I was debating the house across the lake but I guessss ima go buy it!! 😊
ayeee, i hope you love it🫶🏻
I read a great spy thriller this afternoon. Started and finished it. I didn't stop - and I haven't done that in a while. ALIAS EMMA by Ava Glass.
we love a good one sitting book🕺🏻
Exactly my facial expressions while reading the Paris Apartment
such a good twist for such a bad book, i'm still mad😩😭😂
A great video! I loved it
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Not a huge thriller reader...yet. I did read The Push and thoroughly enjoyed it as well!
i think the intersection between lit fic and thriller worked so well for it, cause it appeals to a wider audience, and i love that😍 such a good book!
I was also super interested in the first little bit of the parish apartment but then it unfortunately fell flat for me and I was very bored 💀
she did us dirty with the development😭😩
I was a little sad that you gave the it girl 3 stars..😟 only because I just gave it to a friend as a bday gift
a 3 star is still a good rating! definitely above average🤍
I like An Evil Mind by Chris Carter 😊
If you flipped Ruth Ware and Riley sager I would agree haha. I did not enjoy the house across the lake. Love your videos
that's fair! sager has been super hit or miss with his releases as of recent😩
@@MelReads absolutely. I've heard he's got one more coming out and then he's taking a break. I really enjoyed some of his reads so I hope he can get back on track. Ware is always a middle of the road for me.
Girl where’d you get those glasses? 😍
they're from zenni optical🫶🏻
I had to force myself to finish The Paris Apartment as well... Not great.
I was disappointed by it.....didn't hate it, but definitely not a top thriller. I wanted more answers from
Spoilers

Spoilers!
Spoilers!
Spoilers!
the brother Ben on why he did all that he did, particularly why he let Nick "have him" on a dark cobblestone street. I mean, why did Ben go SO FaR?? Why hang it over Nick's head like he might tell the secret to anyone at anytime? Ben was sketchy to me.
Does this make sense?
right?! that ship went down real fast😭
So the first book is basically Rear Window (Alfred Hitchcock)? Or Disturbia with Shia Lebouf? 😅
I recently subscribed to your channel and I'm happy that you liked The House Across the Lake. As for me, I hated the twist and I may break up with riley sager soon 😶
that's totally fair! i went in with 0 expectations so i think that helped😂
@@MelReads wahhhh i feel special for my comment to get noticed!
But yeah maybe I should have lowered my expectations after reading Survive the night.
💜💜
🥰🥰🥰
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
The house across the lake sounds like the girl on the train, does it compare in any way?
Nope. Trust me, the twist is... wild. In a good way or bad way? YOU find out.
@@hannadavis6867 like, a good twist or a bad twist? I'm one of those people who loved the twist in Behind Her Eyes; is the twist in House Across the Lake "similar", ie, devisive?
@@strawberrylime33 kinda yes. The twist comes out of nowhere. Just like in behind her eyes. If you loved the twist in behind her eyes, I'd say this might be your thing.
have not read girl on the train😩
My Queen, you lost me in this one. I'm a scaared cat but I'll watch, tomorrow with borad day light, kisses.
LMAOOO i'm dead😂 thrillers aren't scary, promise😂
I believe every Mel's review of book since our taste is quite similar. I've been following her since and read every book she recommended and i always end up like it too. Lucy Foley's writing is not my style,for some reason it's a bit draggy and not intriguing me enough..
