Hi everyone! I've added the books from Gabs 2026 January video. I hope that is okey, and that the list doesn’t feel too long in the end. So, would you rather have a separate list for the 2026 season? Thank you all for the likes and positive comments!

Just finished "the staircase in the woods" yesterday. And then I started "Maggies' grave". I think I will like maggies' grave more, but this was still a good read.

Edit: I was wrong xD omg, maggies grave was a trip xD Im not much for gore, but wanted to give it a shot, but nope, still VERY not my thing lol. Asitw was the better one (for me) of these 2.
