I want to read your book

Edit: I was unaware the amount of people who would care. My account on TikTok is DerekDoesHorror, if you’re looking for your review. Thanks all for the recommendations!

Hello all. I’m completely new to reading. I created a TikTok account (not here to self promote) where I do a brief review for each individual book I’ve read. So far I’ve read 16 books and commenters are recommending me popular books, which I enjoy but I’m getting bored.

I’m starting to fall in love with reading because I’m experiencing stories made by creative people who don’t have the backing budget to get a show or movie made. Now I want to experience the stories of those who may not have the budget for marketing.

I am not asking for free books, I want to buy your story to show support (plus buying it will incentivize me into actually reading it). All I ask is if you give me the name of your book, where it’s available, and just a quick 1 - 2 sentence synopsis so I’d know if I’m interested.

It will be talked about on my tik tok. It’s a small page barely breaking 1k views a video, so not much reach. I only created it to encourage myself to keep reading. I always try to remain positive but honest.

So far I’ve been mainly reading horror and thriller. I’m open to all genres except romance. I still haven’t read fantasy, so I would like to try that soon.

My top 3 books read so far:

Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
How to Sell a Haunted House
The Widow’s Husband Secret Lie

Today is 4/27 and it is our last day in the NICU. We’ve been in the hospital since 10pm 4/4 due to wife’s preeclampsia. Our son was born 4/14 at 33 weeks and 2days. We have spent every single night in the hospital since 4/4. I tried getting my wife to come home just for one night to give her some sense of normality, but she understandably refused so I stayed with her. Fortunately our son only had complications feeding. Seeing him with the feeding tube was sad and frustrating because he clearly hated it too because he kept ripping it out. He kept falling asleep mid feed with no signs of it getting better. Randomly on 4/24 he started taking in entire bottles. Now he screams bloody murder when he’s hungry, and I’m so happy that he does. I’m just excited to finally bring him home to a comfortable environment where I can pick him up without having wires and tubes attached to him.
