Hello, welcome back to my channel. My name is Kat and today I'm doing 50 Halloween recommendations
in five minutes. So before we begin I want to mention three things. One, there will be no sirens,
selkies, merpeople recommendations in here. That is going to be for another ocean themed month. There
will also be no Frankenstein retellings in here. That is for a separate video coming later this
month. And the last and final thing is that there's not enough time for me to explain every book so
I'm not going to try. Instead, each section will be in order of how much I love them. So without
further ado, we're going to go ahead and get into it. So let's begin with witches, wizards, and magic.
So I have Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, also the sequel Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo,
The Bone Shard's Daughter by Andrea Stewart (which I recently read), Elizabeth by Ken Greenhall,
Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor, The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill, These Witches Don't
Burn by Isabel Sterling, The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson, When the Moon Was Ours by Anna
Marie Mclemore, and Summer of Salt by Katrina Leno. So that is 10 recommendations right there. Next up
let's do monsters and mutants. Okay so I have Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Rowanhorse, The
Book of Phoenix by Nnedi Okorafor, Monstress by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, Borne by Jeff Vandermeer,
The House In the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune, Wilder Girls by Rory Power, The Prey of the Gods by Nicky
Drayden, The Girl from the Other Side by Nagabe (who is a Japanese writer), The Boneless Mercies
by April Genevieve Tucholke, and last but not least The Chrysalids by John Wyndham. So that is another
10 recommendations right there and we are up to 20. Next let's talk about aliens. So I recommend
The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, The Bones Beneath My Skin by TJ Klune, A Planet for Rent
by Yoss (this will be no surprise), Earth Fathers Are Weird by Lyn Gala (this was a recent very
surprising read), The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut, All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka,
The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham, and From the Wreck by Jane Rawson (very weird). So that
is another eight recommendations and we are up to 28. Next let's talk about angels and demons.
So first up here is Paradise Lost by John Milton (it's one of my favorite classics of all time),
Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson, Angel Fall and The World After by Susan Ee,
The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion by Margaret Killjoy, Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand,
The Vorrh by Brian Catling, and Night Lights by Lorena Alvarez Gomez. And that was eight
recommendations and it brings our total up to 36. So next let's talk about zombies. First up is
Feed by Mira Grant, then The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan, The Girl with All the Gifts
by MR Carey, The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd Jones (which is a recent read), and Hollow Kingdom by Kira
Jane Buxton. And that was five recommendations and now we are at 41. Next let's get into vampires.
So first up is the first two in a trilogy by Jennifer L Armentrout, From Blood and Ash and
[Kingdom of] Flesh and Fire (highly recommend loved it), Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and Hold
Back the Tide by Melinda Salisbury. That was four vampire recommendations which brings us up to 45.
Next let's talk werewolves. So I have the Shifters Unbound series. This is one of the ones that's in
the 20s but I recommend starting with the first one which is Pride Mates by Jennifer Ashley.
I also recommend Wolf Song by TJ Klune as well as Mating the Huntress by Talia Hibbert. So those were
three werewolf recommendations which brings us to 48. And the last section here is haunting, ghosts,
and spirits. And I recommend Drawing Blood by Poppy Z Brite as well as Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour.
Then that brings us to 50 recommendations. So I just wanted to make this super fast
recommendations video for you so that you can get some great Halloween recs. And I think I'd
like to do this kind of video every year because I like to read these throughout the year. So I can't
wait to make the next one next year and I hope that you have some books that you're interested
in now. Let me know down below which ones they are and I will talk to you soon in another video. Bye~
