"if a YA novel doesn't have stupid teenagers who make stupid decisions is it really YA?" lololol this is so true i cant
abookishfairytale I mean, it's basically a summary of the genre as a whole XD
"Bella, Edward, Jacob - all absolute idiots" hahahah
Katesbookdate where is the lie tho
Katesbookdate I read this at the exact moment she said that xD
Cats12kitty cat me too xd
Omg you have necklect of mortal instruments!!!
Mind your words...
Ohh The Selection... the hours of me being mad at America for being stupid, but I still love her.
Julia Żelazo
Lol I hated her so much I wanted to strangle her. But for some reason I kept reading...
Julia Żelazo YES U PUT IT PERFECTLY
Julia Żelazo OMG HONESTLY SAME
Julia Żelazo OMG AMERICA DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED
Currently reading "The One". America is the WORST protagonist, but I need to know what dumb thing she is going to say so that I will have another reason to complain about her. The selection series is like a late 90's romantic comedy. The characters play a stereotype, the protagonist is "too pure to be real", the jokes aren't funny but they're funny that they're not funny and the love interest only has eyes for the protagonist. You know they're going to end up together, but you still want to watch anyway because it is such trash. haha!!!
Trashy ya trope I love: "he growled as he kissed me" WHY ARE MEN GROWLING. my husband has never once growled at me
Kianna Johnson hahaha!
i meannnn, does he really love u if he doesn't growl ?
I feel like it’s only used in books cuz the authors think it’s a really hot thing for guys to do lol
🤣😂 right like I feel hurt that my husband has never in a decade growled at me!!
Kianna Johnson unless he’s a werewolf like Jacob lol
Have y'all read a whole trilogy in one day ..and after finishing you just lied on your bed, stared at the ceiling and went
"That was trash"
*cough* Divergent *cough*
After 🤮🤮
LMAO YESS
Alana Treviño lol exactly
Puff Ball53 yep lmao
YES THE SELECTION ALL THE WAY - such a guilty pleasure
ABSOLUTELY
I'm not alone!!!
Jay G I fangirled so hard 😂😭
I was so surprised at how much I loved this series because I never read romance kind of stuff. But it has just enough dystopian and conspiracy themes to make it appealling beyond the romance, and that's part of why I think it was so good.
Yessss
“My reading average was a book every one or two days”
I miss those days😭😭😭
Me too😥😥😥
They've been prominent. Last week (monday-friday) I finished 4 books and I'm still in school
i saw the video and thought like "oh, Twilight will be in that"
Sümeyye of course XD
I love twilight! Twihard for life
Same 😂
i don't care what anyone says, but i love the trashy, generic romance novels. they make me so happy, warm, and fluffy on the inside
Yeah ! Guilty pleasure
Any suggestions for me? I'm only just starting to get into romance
@Kraker Heya what does that have to do with anything here?
reading stories about people doing things i’d never even imagine doing in my lifetime is fun
I agree plus I m 17 , could this beore unrelatably relatable , those trashy novels
*sees anna and the french kiss*
LILY IS TRIGGERED
hahahah i love lily
emmmabooks these are the quality responses that explain why I like Emma 🙃
Whose lily?
@@ella6784 LilyCReads is a booktuber. She had a review on Anna and the French Kiss, but unfortunately she deleted all of her rant reviews because she didn't want her channel to be negative.
@@sweetly1634 omg ! She deleted them ? I used to watch her rant videos all the time and loved it haha ! But I do get why she decided that
Lmao the selection series is such a guilty pleasure for me😂 i kind of hate the plot and characters but its SO addicting
x x hahaha I agree!!!
I feel like Divergent can be classified as trashy YA 😂😂😂
omg divergent brings me backkkk
emmmabooks divergent was the book the introduced me to ya!
It's such a throwback to the golden era of dystopian novels, ahhhhhh I love it so much
so true!!
Clary Herondale I was SO obsessed with this novel haha
Don't forget the hush hush series. Those were some of my favorite trashy YA books
Brenna Scanlan IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO READ THEM
Brenna Scanlan no kidding, i finished that book fifteen minutes ago. really fast read. i'm also dying and was sobbing at the end. what is life.
also, i need Crescendo. help
Yes the Hush, Hush series! yes yes yes!
I cried so hard at the end. I was sobbing so hard. I was shook
Honestly all I want to do after watching this is curl up in bed and read all the trashy YA I can find haha. Definitely the best remedy to cure a book slump! :D
Emma Gillers I need some more!!!!
Emma if you ever make a fashion video talking about your style and clothes I would be the first one to view it!! You look so gorgeous in every single video ❤️
Aya Balisany Agreed!!
Aya Balisany awh you are so kind! I will absolutely consider it :)
Aya Balisany Yes! I was like, "I love her top!" and "How adorable is that hat!?"
Aya Balisany completely agree!! 😍
@@emmmabooks please do!
"stupid characters making stupid decisions..."
cough cough *VAMPIRE ACADEMY* cough cough
ahahaha XD
Agree, but like I absolutely love them
Best series EVER
*COUGH COUGH* FROSTBITE *COUGH COUGH*
I bought Vampire Academy and never read it😂😣😢
YASSSSSSSSS TRASHY YA ARE MY FAVORITE TYPES OF BOOKS. Needed this 💞
SAMEE!!
I WAS SO HAPPY THAT YOU PUT THE VAMPIRE ACADEMY BOOKS IN HERE!!!!! I literally almost screamed!
Arianna Is A Proud Outcast I LOVE THEM SO SO MUCH
Emma's face when talking about nostalgic books.
Channah Carpenter I crie everytime
i literally liked this video just because of the "bella, edward and jacob? all absolute idiots!" help i cant stop laughing idek why i just didnt expect you to say that HAHHAHHAHAH
It makes me laugh when someone likes twilight but because many other people dont like it they feel the need to excuse themselves saying stuff like "yeah i dont really like it . Its just enjoyable " Really guys embrace it💓 It's one of my fav series on the same level as TMI or harry potter.. Love your hair emma 😚
i definitely know what you mean! thank you
Gosia Berendt twilight to do this day is my second favorite series, then acotar!!! No Shame!!!!! It's trashy, but trashy in an amazing addictive way.
Gosia Berendt SO TRUE. I love Twilight, I cannot get enough of it. It will live with me FOREVER.
Twilight seriously is one my favorite series. Do I have other new favorites, yes, but Twilight will always be my absolute favorite.
Heartless is like one of my favorite book! Everything about it is just something I love and Marissa Meyer is a queen 😍😍
Maddie Grace THE QUEEN OF RETELLIGS
ITS SO GOOD, I CRIED AT THE END
I need to reread it
am I the only one who would classify The Mortal Instruments and all the other books as trashy YA? :) love The Infernal Devices and the new series she came out with :) but still a little fluffy and sweet :)
I Love Love Love Vampire Academy and Bloodlines!! Sooo good, Adrian is literally my ❤️. Another trashy YA is the Fallen series, I finished the first book in two days❤
Elefantensomgillar ooh I've been told fallen is so great!
emmmabooks It is in only on the second book, but I'm hooked! Definitely recommend it!❤
Elefantensomgillar I love Sydrian they are my fav.
Little late, but I LOVE the Fallen series haha. I think Hush Hush belongs in this too
I came here trying to find new books and turns out I’ve read every single one of them already 😂😂
i'd call them guilty pleasure books =)
I've always sort of felt like The Princess Diaries series was sort of "trashy." I was so obsessed with those books as a teenager and even freaked out when Meg Cabot came out with a new novel for the series featuring adult Mia two years ago. Actually, most of Meg Cabots books (I've read most all of her books and serieses) are sort of trashy and I adore all of them!
idk.. i think i wouldn't consider The Princess Diaries "trashy". I actually learned a lot from the books and still to this day i love the with my heart
Loved Vampire Academy, I'm currently reading the Bloodlines series, loving it so far. 😁
MY FAVS
The Reading Puppet can I read bloodlines without reading vampire academy?
Aleena Tanveer, there's characters that are introduced in vampire academy that appear in Bloodlines, and it would spoil the Vampire Academy series if you decided to read it later.Sydney who is the main character in Bloodlines has a huge part in book #4 of vampire academy series. It's my favorite of the first series. I mean The author does write the Bloodlines series in a way to remember what happened in the Vampire academy series with returning characters. I'd say read Vampire Academy series first if you can. 😁😊😁
thanks alot. That was very helpful.
I really wish Vampire Academy got a show! It would be so good. Hopefully.
THE FALLEN STAR SERIES OH MY GOSH!! I READ THE WHOLE SERIES IN A WEEK, ONE EACH DAY. Alex and Gemma made my heart SWOON.
Lauren Rathjens oh my gosh! I forgot about these!!!
Only found this video now, but I love your take on books. I'm so tired of listening to people tear books apart. You love them for what they are and what they're intended to be. I don't understand why people want realism in their books and films so much, reality bites. The purpose of stories is escape, why escape only to read some reality. Loved the video, thanks.
You could pass as a witch, i’ve seen witch movies before
I am soooooo in love with the selection. I read the whole trilogy in 1 day. That addicted 😍😍😍
Aleena Tanveer THATS CRAZY
YES I READ THE WHOLE SELECTION SERIES IN LITERALLY TWO DAYS
Devanshi Sharma SAMMEEEE
@@georgiaherondale5826 HERONDALES KILLING ME SINCE CHILDHOOD FREEK
Saw the title and immediately thought of The Selection!!! My go to recommendation to get over a reading slump. Omg Vampire Academy... loveeeeee!!!!!
I love the positivity that you have this video! You care about these books so much, and you very obviously love talking about them. You're so unapologetically enthusiastic and genuinely kind to these books that get dragged a lot, and it's so wonderful and refreshing to hear.
The Selection 😍😍😍 It will always have a special place in heart despite the angsty mess that was Maxerica.
Maryam Ishaq ALWAYS
I agree with the Selection 😂 I read all 5 books in 3 days and I have no idea why I like the books so much honestly 😂😂😂
I am reading Heartless right now! I love how you fully embrace it so many people feel pressured to not like 'trashy' books and are shamed for it in reading circles. But it is so great to point out you can love a book just because it is entertaining.
OMG Heartless is so good. I was absolutely heartbroken throughout the book. The ending really sent me mixed feelings but I LOVED it, I love all of Marissa Meyer’s books!
completely unrelated but ur eyebrows give me lyf !!
Ikr
As soon as I saw the title I thought of The Selection Trilogy and the Lux series. Such good books! I was so addicted them when I read them back in 2014.
I love trashy YA. I kinda consider everything Jennifer L Armentrout books as trashy YA. You should pick up the Covenant series by her- it's really like Vampire Academy!
Oooh I must! Anything that sounds like VA is enough to catch my interest ;D
Aideen G I love JLA. she is my favourite author, because I always feel so warm and fuzzy after reading her books and that's how I want to feel when i finish books!!!! also her NA books are really fun too :)
The "to all the boys I've loved before" series is so so good. I personally didn't feel a need for the third one and it took me a week to get through the 3rd one but the first and second I inhaled. I LOVED THEM.
And I feel like they do differ a lot from the movie in terms of how characters feel and act.
So def give it a go it's so so freaking nice!
I can’t even remember what happened in the third one apart from them applying for collages and getting in
Omg yes! I love the trilogy. Altho i felt the third wasn't needed, I still enjoyed it.
You put me in such a good mood every time i hear you talking about books... I love that you are so invested & it feels good to see someone who feels the same about books as me
The Selection... is my favorite series.
I LOVED "Heartless" I too listened to it on audiobook. It was amazing on audiobook. I just started Cinder because of Heartless. I'm twenty pages in to Cinder and I feel like I'm going to love it equally as much as Heartless.
I can't not smile while watching your videos omg I love how happy you are talking about these books:)
These kind of books make me feel so cosy inside (if that makes any sense at all) it reminds me of when I first got into reading and was so obsessed and such a fangirl ahh I miss it so much!
Vampire Academy and Bloodlines!! Still obsessed with them
I've actually just recently read VA and really liked it and I'm about almost done with Frostbite
i love love love love love VA!!!!!
Ahhhhh Frostbite has the best ending, enjoy!
I just did finish Frostbite, it was a good ending
frostbite is my favourite of the series, well of the five of them I have read :)
I love how unashamed you are to love these books! For years I felt so embarrassed to read these kinds of books but they're just the best kind of books. These are the kinds of book that had me crying at 4am in the morning when I had to get up early for school the next day, and I would still be thinking about them a few weeks after I had finished them 😂 love your videos!! 💞
I love falling kindgoms. Even though the books are so poorly written, characters are so annoying, and everyone dies for no reason, I still love them because they're so fun and addicting. (Also, cleo is awesome).
i just realized you reached 50k! congrats!
(last night I started reading Not otherwise specified, im loving it so far).
thank youso much!
OOH I LOVE NOS!
Needed some new “trashy” YA recommendations. Thank you.
The book series that saved my life. Hands down the mortal instruments. No other book affected me like that. I was going through a really rough time and alllll I did was read. I was like 13 or 14 and it was thanksgiving and my mom bought me City of bones and I fell in love. I struggle with depression and anxiety so I read so much at this time (I still read a lot ) like I was in 7th grade and my school tested us on how fast we read. And I was reading 3-5 pages a minute (still kinda do) because I get so obsessed with the series. I will never not have love for Cassie Clare. She really saved me. Also the twilight series played a big role in my development as an early teenager. So when I hear ppl say they don't like it I'm shocked because yes it corny and cringey but it's such beautiful work
Loved this video and how happy you are talking about all these books! I also love how you don't apologize for liking the books you like. No one should have to! 💕
My favourite trashy YA books are deeefinitely the House of Night books by PC and Kristin Cast. They're just a lovely bit of easy, fun, infuriating YA fluff. There are so many love triangles and squares and octagons I've literally lost count, they're a weird new take on vampires because duh they came out around the same time as Twilight, the main characters are all so simultaneously badass and stupid and you can't help but love them, Aphrodite is my absolute favourite 'bitchy best friend' character from any book ever, the main villain is actually incredible and really well written, the main character has this awesome Grandma that reminded me of my Nana, and there are so many real legends and folk stories woven into it in really cool ways and I just... *sighs contentedly* I love these books. If you're a person who still enjoys Twilight, I can pretty much guarantee that you'll enjoy these too. And the authors are busy writing a new sequel series set 5 years (I think) after the end of the last book and I'm so freaking excited :3
Laura-Elizabeth Howes ah I'll have to check them out!
emmmabooks please do! they don't get nearly enough love in my opinion :3
Laura Elizabeth omg I looooooved the house of night series when I was younger!!! such good memories, gotta pick them up and re-read them haha!
virginie I recently reread them and the nostalgia was crazy! Aphrodite is still one of my absolute favourite characters from any book ever :')
Laura Elizabeth oh man, Aphrodite was fave 😂😂 I think I left off on 'hunted' and never picked up the next ones. I'm looking up the series on Amazon to see if I can the full set of books 😍😍
Stephanie Perkins newest book is supposed to come out this fall and I'm pretty sure it's a horror/teen slasher book from what I've seen online. Really excited to see something so different from her!
Meredith Glenn
I haven't even heard that before! Oh my god I'm so excited!
Meredith Glenn IM SO EXCITED FOR IT
It would be funny to see a character like my #2 husband Cricket hot as ham Bell in a horror book.
LOVE your channel!!! and you sound so happy talking about these books! also, 100% agree with vampire academy and bloodlines, two of my fave series!!!
I work at a book store and the selection is definitely my go to trashy recommendation. 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I was so hoping it would be on this list and was very happy when you held it up
Ohhh, the Selection books are my favorite "trashy" novels!
Isabella ahh I still need to read the last one! The cliffhanger at the end of the heir 😱😱😱😱
Personally I wouldn't call them 'trashy' but I agree that they're all fun series! Basically all the books that I started off with when I got into YA. :D No shame. Entertaining, non-heavy in theme, and just..yeah fun. :D I'm not a huge fan of overly serious topics so I guess most of the books I read would be considered 'trashy' then. :/
i use trashy as an affectionate term, not a negative one :) there's a lot of great books out there with non-serious themes, that doesn't mean there's anything "lesser" about them!
KatTheBooknerd girl. Same haha
KatTheBooknerd I'm in the same boat. I hate those book with very serious themes, because I don't feel like dragging my mood down :) I wanna have fun while reading :)
I think a better word would be fluffy YA. 😊
KatTheBooknerd did you not here what she said about the word "trashy"
The Selection definitely. I just had such a great time reading it and it was just entertaining. I just love it!
I just finished the first Vampire Academy book, and I loved it! I was so annoyed with basically all of the characters in the beginning, and it was very teenage-angsty with lots of drama, but it was still so entertaining, and the plot reminded me of TMI so I couldn't help but love it!
Reread the selection recently and just 😍
Ellie Shuert AH I NEED A REREAD
Twilight will always be my fave ❤
always
Same..... It owns my heart
Perfect video for a trashy YA lover like me!!! Lux series is one of my most fave series and I'm so happy that you also love it! x
Oh my goodness yes. I recommend you, paper princess and sweet evil for my trashy reads. They are my absolute favs. I read them sooooo quickly.
I'm pretty new to your channel but omg in every video I'm taken aback by how pretty you are!
I love love love these types of videos from you, I always just wanna pick up every book that you talk about
awh thanks so much! i'm glad to hear it :)
Thx YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT VAMPIRE ACADEMY it’s so underrated and so far you’re the only TH-camr that has talked about VA. 😭😭😭😭😭
EXACTLY!
The selection ❤ I read it at 13/14 and i shall say that I adored it ! I didn't really read books before and this trilogy was the cause that made me read ! I really love it, it'll always occupy a little space in my heart ❤
OKAY IM SO IN FOR TRASHY YAs
ALSO, LOVE THE BACKGROUND AND YOUR!! MAKE-UP!!
thank you so much!
I want to novels like vampire academy because I lived friendship between Rose and Lissa
I've found my favorite booktuber!!! I love all these books so much and I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN HEARTLESS POPPED UP. ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOK EVER
Finally someone mentioning the greatness of Richelle Mead’s series! That woman is my hero
I was looking for recommendations, but I've already read them all 😂
I just finished rereading Breaking Dawn and I was expecting to be disappointed by the end, but it just made me remember how much I loved happy endings when I read Twilight! (also divergent definitely has its trashy moments and I love it in that book too)
Empty Inkpots I didn't like the ending of breaking dawn, I think Bella should be doing something and not only standing with her shield
Ohmygosh, couldn't agree more with Vampire Academy and Bloodlines!! Both of those are very high on my favourites list and I could never put them down either! I'm also looking at your multiple collections of Mortal Instruments and I'm very jealous!
Ugh Heartless.... that book has my heart😂😂your review//comments about it I felt where so on point and accurate. One of many reasons why I love your channel❤️❤️
I needed this... Thank you...
"Also bella, edawrd & Jacob..al idots" im dead 😂😂😂😂 AGAHAHAH
Girl! Your makeup at 3:10 is SO PRETTY!
I think i screamed when you put up Heartless
JEST UGH MY HEART
vampire Academy is my life ❤
Lux series.
L U X S E R I E S!!!
I love them 😍😍😍
Girl I feel the same way about The Selection💕 LOVE them!!❤💚💙
i LOVE Vampire Academy more than i love most things in my life. i cant even explain why i adore them so much, i think i read them during such a pivotal moment in my life. god i just love that series. it will always hold a significant place in my hearttttt
Stephanie Perkins is going to publish a horror novel!!!!!!! 😆😆😆
Dodo Pink omg I cannot wait to read
I would've said the Pretty Little Liar series by Sara Shapard. No, not the TV show, but the books. The show is so totally different than the books, and I don't like that, so I stopped watching after season 3. I would have to say that anything by Sara Shepard, really, is on my "trashy YA" list, though. She always writes the cliches with a twist. But I don't care, and that's what I come for! xD
I get made fun of but I will always love Twilight you can't deny that Stephenie Meyer takes the normal vampire and alien then amps them up into something you have never heard of I love it. Host is another one of my favs.
I loved this video!! And I love your personality, and how excited you were in this video!!
Best trashy ya books: Vampire Academy and the Shadow Falls Series
I'd say TMI is pretty trashy. Sure the story is well-developed and interesting, but the focus is on the romance between Clary and Jace and their stupid decisions. Don't get me wrong, I love TMI, but they're still pretty trashy.
Makes me wonder if there's "trashy" stuff targeted at dudes. The stuff you've mentioned on this list has never interested me (though tbh I'm only interested in romance stories if they're gay), and I doubt many guys would consider them. Maybe _Ready Player One_? Haven't read it but I've heard that it like glorifies the male gamer types.
Karkat Vantas I personally loved RPO and I know many guys that liked it, but I've never thought about it that way!
and I totally get why you'd say TMI is Trashy XD
This video made me immediately march over to my bookshelf and grab all my old faves. Thank you for helping me out of this slump!!
OMG YASS I READ THE SELECTION SERIES SO FAST! LOVE THAT SERIES SO MUCH. Such a good video Emma, but you have now also made me want to pick up SOO many new books
It's not YA, but you should read the Succubus Blues series by Richelle Mead. They are so good!
Sara Ames I've always wanted to!!!
emmmabooks do it! I'm on the second one now!
**cough cough** The Caravale series **cough cough**
I totally agree about the selection. I am currently reading the series and I am addicted.
These are the best books to get out of a reading slump, thank you for these!
why do i feel like the selection should have ended w " the one "
chaichai I think we all do
