Griff Reads | the worst book I've ever read π₯΄ and trying to rediscover my love of thrillers π± reading vlog [CC] @GriffReads | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 22 minutes ago.
I used to LOVE reading thrillers. It's been one of my favourite genres for over 10 years, however recently I've not enjoyed a lot of the popular thrillers I've picked up π
In this reading vlog, I read 3 thrillers across different sub-genres to see if I can pinpoint exactly what my taste in thrillers is now. Thank you for watching!
