The Weirdest Debate On Booktok Right Now ThePastelBookshelf 2026-08-09 | Apparently, reading 20 books a month is now one of the most controversial things to admit on BookTok ๐Lately, thereโs been a weird amount of discourse around peopleโs reading habits - how many books they read, whether they actually read them, whether audiobooks count and whether itโs even possible to read that much while having a job, a social life or apparentlyโฆanything else going on.In my first video essay, Iโm taking a look at the current Booktok debate, the obsession with reading numbers, and why we seem to care so much about how other people choose to read.Is reading 20 books a month actually possible? Does listening to an audiobook count? And at what point did reading become something we feel the need to police?Because ultimately, someone elseโs reading habits donโt affect us, so why are we so bothered by them?Iโd love to hear your thoughts in the comments ๐I really hope you enjoy this video.

The Ultimate Summerween Reading List | 25 Books That Feel Like a Slasher Film ๐ป๐๐ฉธ ThePastelBookshelf 2026-06-25 | Summerween is here, and what better way to celebrate than with a stack of slashers? ๐ชโ๏ธIf your ideal summer aesthetic is less โbeach readโ and more โsomeone definitely shouldnโt have gone into those woods alone,โ this video is for you In this video I talk about 25 summer slasher books that I think deserve a spot on your Summerween TBR. Weโve got summer camps, cabins, lakes, small towns with secrets, friend groups making terrible decisions, final girls, masked killers and enough bad vibes to ruin a perfectly nice vacation.Honestly there is just something about reading a slasher in the middle of summer. Give me the humidity, the mosquitoes, the suspiciously isolated campground and the growing sense that everyone is about to have a very bad time and I just know Iโm in for a good time. Whether youโre looking for YA slashers, adult horror, hidden gems or books that feel like your favourite horror movies, Iโve got you covered ๐ซกSo grab a cold drink, check that all your doors are locked and letโs talk about people making absolutely TERRIBLE choices in the woods.๐ Let me know in the comments:Whatโs your favourite slasher book? And what are you reading for Summerween this year?I really hope you enjoy this video.

Come Book Shopping With Me In Hay-On-Wye | The Worldโs First Book Town๐ ThePastelBookshelf 2026-06-11 | Spend the day with me while I get gloriously lost in the bookshops of Hay-on-Wye ๐I visited some of Hayโs best known bookshops, including Richard Boothโs Bookshop - one of the biggest shops in the town which is spread across three floors with everything from fiction to art and history books, Hay Cinema Bookshop - a huge secondhand bookshop inside an old cinema with endless shelves and hidden corners to explore. I also visited Addyman Books, known for its maze-like rooms and floor to ceiling stacks of books, plus smaller shops like Murder & Mayhem for crime fiction. Hay-on-Wye honestly is a dream for every book lover. Every street has another little bookshop to wander into and thereโs such a cosy, quiet atmosphere around the whole town. Itโs also home to the famous Hay Festival, which brings readers and writers from all over the world every year.If you love cosy bookshop vibes, slow travel energy, and chatty BookTube content, this oneโs for you.โจ In this vlog:* exploring Hay-on-Wyeโs iconic bookshops* indie bookstore hauls* wanderings through the town* cafรฉ breaks + cosy Welsh countryside vibes* A few more books added to my TBRWhich book/s would you have picked up?

Dark & Disturbing Books Set In Asylums๐ฏ๏ธ๐๐ ThePastelBookshelf 2026-05-24 | Thereโs something uniquely unsettling about books set in asylums. The locked doors, unreliable memories and the feeling that nobody can fully be trusted - including the narrator. In todayโs video, Iโm diving into books that use psychiatric hospitals and institutions as settings for mystery, horror, and psychological suspense.A small content note before we start: these books include themes surrounding mental illness, institutional abuse, trauma and psychiatric treatment. A lot of them include outdated or harmful attitudes from the periods they were written in that made me feel very uncomfortable while I was reading them. I wanted to approach this topic carefully while still celebrating the atmosphere and storytelling that make these books so compelling so I hope this comes across in the video. Weโve got a mix of gothic, horror and psychological thrillers so hopefully youโll find a new favourite read from this list.Books in this video:The Night Counsellor by LK PangThe Asylum by Karen ColesThe Silent Patient by Alex MichaelidesThe Mad Womenโs Ball by Victoria MasPhantom Limb by Lucinda BerryWard D by Freida McFaddenCrypt of the Moon Spider by Nathan BallingrudOne For Sorrow by Sarah A DenzilThe Unravelling of Mary Reddish by David WhitfieldEight Cases of Janet by RJ PowellBlood On Her Tongue by Johanna Van Veen The Madness by Dawn KurtagichNo Women Were Harmed by Heather MottersheadTBR BooksAsylum by Madeleine RouxThe Asylum Confessions by Jack SteenMadwoman by Louisa TregerThe Haunting of Abney Heights by Cat Thomas The Girl Behind the Gates by Brenda DaviesLily by Rose TremainThe Medea Complex by Rachel Florence Roberts Shutter Island by Dennis LehaneI really hope you enjoy this video.
