Reading the bad goodreads reviews of Ship It is wonderfully entertaining. Also yes, don't write fanfiction about real people. Looking at you Anna Todd and "After".
@afootineachworld are there no laws about this? Even if they are celebrities it still feels like a violation of your being. Imagine someone writing these stuff about you...
@@imibee5184 as long as it's not presented as real facts and dont use their image, not really. A real person's name can't be trandemarked or copyrighted, and of course fans who do these things are super engaged and spend a lot of money so companies don't care about suing for photo edits and etc.
The shipp it author was a staff writer on the first 3 seasons of Riverdale. I adore the cast, they have my whole heart but loathe the show. The showrunner is a hack, doesnt know what hes doing and because of him the cast recieves the most hate and flack online. People forget that they dont write the show, they do want they told and try to their job with what they are given. The cast has jokingly stated that the writers changes plot lines, ignore and forget on the fly
I think people don’t like their acting on the show... I understand they only act that way because it fits the show’s look or whatever, but it’s not my cup of tea. I don’t hold that against them, though.
While the first season of Riverdale is a guilty pleasure and the rest is hot garbage, I don't blame the cast. They have no control over the writing. The producers and writers do. At the end of the day, actors are just people. Sometimes, like everyone else, they take on roles just for the paycheck, and it's reasonable to suspect the same with a lot of the cast in that series. That's also the same reason why I don't like trashing other authors who were in bad shows or movies like Robert Patterson.
@@catuntaru2879 Thank you so much for informing me!!!!! I know what you're talking about now! I will definitely read that. I love reading accurate reps of different cultures!
@@thebookofkate812 Other stereotypes I've heard are: all the women are prostitutes, the majority lives in poverty, ties to the mafia and other criminal organizations, etc.
man i’m not gonna lie...i loved Jane Unlimited lmao. the physical book DOES have chapter headings so that confusion can be eliminated when you read the book (i’m an audiobook listener too but DAMN that book would be confusing in audio form)
I don’t like fandoms and fangirls that focus on the ship of two characters way too much, instead of the actual story itself. It’s really damaging to the people who are creating the story, because it pressures the writers/storyboard artists to change how they originally planned it. I’ve seen so many great stories degrade just to appeal to those fans. Those stories start 1. Queerbaiting 2. Changing character development just so the ship everyone wants ends up together. If you’re a fan of something, you’d accept it as how it is and how it’s authentically intended to be. Writing fan fiction is cool, and fandom stories are also cool, but please don’t harass writers and actors just because they didn’t write or agree to the story in the way you wanted it. It’s not cool.
It's kind of crazy that you don't have more subscribers! I love listening to you talk and the way you explain your problems with these books is very clear and understandable. I'm probably going to watch a ton of your videos now.
Yes! As an Eastern European, I hate the trope of mail order brides and prostitution in media. That plot point is just used so poorly and fetishizes these women. An interesting plot would be an Eastern European mail order bride who deals with domestic violence or a prostitute who is being sex trafficked. You know, situations these women actually deal with. Just saying...there’s more interesting ways to incorporate stereotypes and make a point out of them...
Wow, I just came here for the bookish content and all of a sudden it's crossing into the SPN fandom :D. I'm a Destiel shipper, but I honestly never forced it. And as soon as you talked about what the book is about I had to roll my eyes, because of course this would be about Jensen (who plays Dean) saying Dean is not gay. There are still people in the fandom who call him homophobic because of that and it's old history. So just the fact that someone decided to write a book about it makes me wanna bash my head against the wall :D.
@@jude8067 I know that, trust me. I get so tired of people bashing him. For the record though, him claiming Destiel is not real has nothing to do with him being or not being gay. It just has to do with his understanding of the character that he plays and as such is probably the highest authority you can get on that subject (it's certainly not the writers of the show, since they can't even get their canon straight - no pun intended :D).
Honestly I don’t know much about this but from my understanding Jensen should be able to say whatever he wants because it’s his own opinion and it isn’t harming anyone.
I just found your channel & I love your videos! You sound so intelligent when you speak about the books & I love how much detail you gave. Thank you!!! ♥️
Haha I love this video!!! I also actually kind of enjoyed The Love Interest, I feel like it was kind of self aware that it wasn’t great, and it’s a guilty pleasure for sure, I don’t hate it like everyone else seems to hate it haha, glad you found at least one book that you liked! 😌
Wow! I have watched your videos of lowest rated, recommend and bothered. I think you are amazing for reading so many crappy books. I need to be hooked by the 3rd chapter. Props!
I just discovered your channel with this video and I love 1) your voice 2)the way you express your thoughts and give your opinions on books soooo great (much better than just saying oh it was bad lmao) and just great. I can't wait to go watch your wrap ups. Love it subbed immediately.
I love your themed vlogs 😭 They're so fun and inspiring! Also, I had no idea EL James had even come out with another book but it makes sense that it would flop so bad 👀 Lets be honest, the only reason Fifty Shades had a good storyline was because it was originally twilight fanfic 🤷🏼♀️
The Love Interest has been on my tbr for some months now! I didn't even know it was low rated, I haven't seen any reviews for it but the premise sounds really interesting. While you review definetly wasn't glowing, it still makes me optimistic that it was the highest out of the 5 bad books
So fun to watch you read the Love Interest! I remember reading it and enjoying it in like, the way one enjoys a very tropy fanfic-- pleasant (esp for the representation), and lacking in world building but overall not a total drag to read-- and then going on goodreads and seeing the Extremely Bad reviews and being vaguely confused. So I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking it was an okay 3-star read and not The Worst. :)
Hahaha I saw you were reading The Mister on goodreads and was like WHY. Now I know 😂 I actually had a copy of The Love Interest and then got rid of it because of all of the bad reviews. Now I wish I hadn’t! Great video ☺️
i absolutely ADORED jane unlimited and genuine fraud but your thoughts were super interesting for me to think about in terms of reflecting on why i enjoyed them!

I've been trying to clean out my TBR list, but I think I've deleted everything I know I'll never pick up and now it's time to start reading them. But keep myself from losing my mind with rage and boredom, I'm going to read the 3 lowest ranked books and then the 3 books I've had on my list the longest.
Hmm, that Jane, unlimited book sounds like something really up my alley concept wise...I might try reading it to see if its really that bad! Thanks so much for your videos, I'm really enjoying them these days. Also, slightly off topic but I love how you talk-it's so clear and fast
i can honestly say i've never heard anyone talk about the shitty representations of eastern europeans (especially eastern european women) we perpetuate, especially in america. thank you for mentioning it!!
Yes to a lot of your thoughts about Ship It! That book frustrates me to no end. I also didn't love Jane, Unlimited but I liked it more than you did.

There are so many fanfiction about the actors in the show (supernatural) its crazy. I find it creepy but yeah xD How weird is that for the actors like :/

I'm glad The Love Interest wasn't as bad as its ratings! It's on my TBR so I might give it a try.
Maybe there is enough representation but just not in the shows that were already existing before gay marriage and couples began to be shown in the media. My personal pet peeve is how the media now makes the minority character also the gay character like that is the only way to do so.
I love these, event if some of books are bad 😂, i would to see this with holiday/event pick, like 5 with christmas theme, or new year, or thanksgiving or halloween or something like that. And I read 5: recommade by friends/family, followers (youtube, instagram), that would be so fun to watch. I looking forward to the highest rated book, they have to be better 😂
I enjoyed the love interest. I read the hard copy and listened to the audio book. I think a big part of what made me like it was Michael Crouch’s audio performance.
I just found your channel and your videos are really entertaining and I love how you talk about books and give your honest opinion and I will definitely subscribe now :-)
super bummed to hear you didn’t love jane, unlimited. that’s a book that i’ve been really excited to read for a while. love this video idea so much and i’m so excited to see the inverse of it! 💛
Huh, heard of "Ship it" but dident know there was a controversy around it. Not sure if I still want to read it now. I have heard the controversy around The love interest, still interested in reading that. I dident like Jane Unlimited either. I agree I think E lockharts series is better than her standalone, yeees I only read the first in her series but like it much more than her standalone books.
Ship It is probably my least favorite book. After reading the synopsis, I was super excited to read it. As I went through, I noticed some problems and the plot wasn’t really interesting me anymore, but it was an easy read so I kept going. As someone who identifies as pan, I was so excited to see representation for the first time! That was, until the public outing scene. As someone of the lgbt+ spectrum, Tess should have known better. The scene disgusted me, but more than that I was heartbroken. The first example of pan rep in YA was ruined in a monumental way. If you’re going to handle important topics, do it right.
I was actually tempted to pick up unlimited because of the pretty cover (we’ve all been there, don’t judge me), but I got bored reading the description. Good thing I didn’t actually end up spending money on it lol
I think the idea of Jane unlimited is so cool! I knew that the five storylines would be five different genre and I really enjoyed trying to figure out what genre it is! I just don’t like the writing and how immature it is.
I started Genuine Fraud on audio at the beginning of the year and I hated it so much I had to quit halfway through. I commend you for getting through it. I didn't like We Were Liars but at least I finished that one!
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who hated Ship It. I was so upset reading it and really wanted to throw the book against the wall multiple times. I tried to like it, but it just had so many problematic and unrealistic elements to it.
I don’t think I could ever put myself through reading the lowest rated books on my TBR because I’d end up just... not reading. 😂 Really proud of you for sticking with it and only DNFing one of five is impressive!
Great video, as always :) I wish the books had turned out better for you, though!! I really enjoyed Kristin cashore fantasies, as a teen, so I was curious about Jane, Unlimited.
I agree with your thoughts on love interest, it was so interesting like 65/70% of the way thru (wasn’t a fan of the writing style though) but the rest was so boring it killed the book for me
Lol look forward to hearing your review on The Mister, I got given this toilet paper book and haven’t picked it up yet until I heard a review.....you’re the first 🤔 is that a good thing or a bad thing...you decide. Can’t wait to hear your honest truth on them all
EL James cannot write! I recall when 50 Shades first came out I picked up a copy at Costco. I read 20-30 pages and DNFd the book. In addition, I returned it to Costco and swore I'd never read another one of EL James books.
I actually sort of liked genuine fraud, but I'm a sucker for characters that are masters of disguise. Also, I read it on audiobook 1.5 speed during my commute, so I don't think I was paying much attention to the writing.
So genuine fraud is like We were liars ! I hated that one bc it was very easy to guess what was going on and i was so frustrated that in the end what i thought had happened had actually happened (if that makes any sense)
The book about demon heart is basically a girl writing about how she wants Dean and Cas to get together. I understand shipping something but what I am bothered by is like trying to force a gay relationship on two characters. I ship Destiel too but i would never want an actor to be uncomfortable. That's my biggest issue off the bat without even reading a book
I'm almost certain ship it came from the once upon a time fandom, the tantrums when one of the actors said that were terrifying. But at least the show didn't give into the tantrums, the harassing everyone involved, the telling gay teens they were self-loathing homophobes if they didn't ship these two women etc etc
Oof The Mister does nOt sound like the one. I bought Genuine Fraud because I loved We Were Liars but after watching this I reallllly don't wanna read it. And I'm so glad you're doing a highest rated books too!!! This was so fun to watch Chan! ❤️
Heyyy! I was wondering if you could give a review for the Raven Cycle series??? I'm not sure if you've done it already, but i'd love to see your opinion on it :))
The Love Interest pissed me tf off at the endish when truths are revealed. It made it hard to come back around as things smoothed back out. I was just annoyed.
It sounds a bit odd at first when you said you won't read books with a lower rating than 4.0 stars. I mean, they aren't garbage when their ratings aren't high but I get cautious too. I've read a few books that had barely any reviews and the ratings were quite low. When I read books with very high ratings I tend to have too many expectations and in the end I'm not as hyped about them as I would've been if I hadn't seen their rating.
I stopped reading ship it after I realized this literally happened in the teen wolf fandom and she wrote fanfic while on the bus with the actors. It was 100 pages in and I hate that I spent money on it
I don't remember We Were Liars very well, it was quite a while ago since I read it. I think I liked it overall but had some nitpicks. I think the plot is somewhat predictable and definitely clichéd.
If Anne Hathaway and Leighton Meester had a baby, this would be her.
Ral Deaver she does kind of look like Anne Hathaway!
She looks like Brenna D’Amico
I love it
Now I can't unsee that.
I've never read anything more accurate wow
That Ship It book sounds like it should be renamed “Yikes: the book”
YES
idk why everyone raved abt it tbh

I enjoyed the love interest. I read the hard copy and listened to the audio book. I think a big part of what made me like it was Michael Crouch’s audio performance.
I just found your channel and your videos are really entertaining and I love how you talk about books and give your honest opinion and I will definitely subscribe now :-)
Genuine fraud is absolutely terrible. It's the only one of those that I've read and it's absolutely terrible.
These videos are so much fun to watch!

“Y’all really thought I was gonna read this fuckin’ book?” You’re right, I AM a clown😂great vid hon, looking forward to the next one!
super bummed to hear you didn’t love jane, unlimited. that’s a book that i’ve been really excited to read for a while. love this video idea so much and i’m so excited to see the inverse of it! 💛
Huh, heard of "Ship it" but dident know there was a controversy around it. Not sure if I still want to read it now. I have heard the controversy around The love interest, still interested in reading that.
I dident like Jane Unlimited either.
I agree I think E lockharts series is better than her standalone, yeees I only read the first in her series but like it much more than her standalone books.
Ship It is probably my least favorite book. After reading the synopsis, I was super excited to read it. As I went through, I noticed some problems and the plot wasn’t really interesting me anymore, but it was an easy read so I kept going. As someone who identifies as pan, I was so excited to see representation for the first time! That was, until the public outing scene. As someone of the lgbt+ spectrum, Tess should have known better. The scene disgusted me, but more than that I was heartbroken. The first example of pan rep in YA was ruined in a monumental way. If you’re going to handle important topics, do it right.
the love interest is on my tbr, and I still really wanna read it, we'll see when I get to it
I was actually tempted to pick up unlimited because of the pretty cover (we’ve all been there, don’t judge me), but I got bored reading the description. Good thing I didn’t actually end up spending money on it lol
4:09 "ok so first of all...i get why ppl hate this book" i- lmaooo me
You are the fitting person to do this vedio cus you read many books in one month, and happen to read bad ones and mange to go through it
I think the idea of Jane unlimited is so cool! I knew that the five storylines would be five different genre and I really enjoyed trying to figure out what genre it is! I just don’t like the writing and how immature it is.
oh interesting! i thought the writing was a little overdone but i could see how it could be immature!
I'm so glad you read these so that we won't have to suffer
I started Genuine Fraud on audio at the beginning of the year and I hated it so much I had to quit halfway through. I commend you for getting through it. I didn't like We Were Liars but at least I finished that one!
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who hated Ship It. I was so upset reading it and really wanted to throw the book against the wall multiple times. I tried to like it, but it just had so many problematic and unrealistic elements to it.
I haven't read that Kristin Cashore book, but I own Graceling, Fire, and Bitterblue, which are all pretty good books.
I don’t think I could ever put myself through reading the lowest rated books on my TBR because I’d end up just... not reading. 😂 Really proud of you for sticking with it and only DNFing one of five is impressive!
thank you!!! audiobooks really helped me get thru it lol
The mister review! Just great!!🤣🤣🤣
isabella gomez and anne hathaway had a lovechild and it’s chandler ainsley
Great video, as always :) I wish the books had turned out better for you, though!! I really enjoyed Kristin cashore fantasies, as a teen, so I was curious about Jane, Unlimited.
i love graceling!!! sad this one was a fail
@@chandlerainsley Fire and Bitterblue are great, too! Highly rec'd, since you liked Graceling 😊
I agree with your thoughts on love interest, it was so interesting like 65/70% of the way thru (wasn’t a fan of the writing style though) but the rest was so boring it killed the book for me
Lol look forward to hearing your review on The Mister, I got given this toilet paper book and haven’t picked it up yet until I heard a review.....you’re the first 🤔 is that a good thing or a bad thing...you decide. Can’t wait to hear your honest truth on them all
Toilet paper book ahahah 😂
As an eastern european IT SUCKS AND HURTS to only be au pairs and wives :/
EL James cannot write! I recall when 50 Shades first came out I picked up a copy at Costco. I read 20-30 pages and DNFd the book. In addition, I returned it to Costco and swore I'd never read another one of EL James books.
"This is how I really look."
You mean amazing.
I actually sort of liked genuine fraud, but I'm a sucker for characters that are masters of disguise. Also, I read it on audiobook 1.5 speed during my commute, so I don't think I was paying much attention to the writing.
So genuine fraud is like We were liars ! I hated that one bc it was very easy to guess what was going on and i was so frustrated that in the end what i thought had happened had actually happened (if that makes any sense)
The book about demon heart is basically a girl writing about how she wants Dean and Cas to get together. I understand shipping something but what I am bothered by is like trying to force a gay relationship on two characters. I ship Destiel too but i would never want an actor to be uncomfortable. That's my biggest issue off the bat without even reading a book
The book*
That hair😍😍
I'm almost certain ship it came from the once upon a time fandom, the tantrums when one of the actors said that were terrifying. But at least the show didn't give into the tantrums, the harassing everyone involved, the telling gay teens they were self-loathing homophobes if they didn't ship these two women etc etc
Oof The Mister does nOt sound like the one. I bought Genuine Fraud because I loved We Were Liars but after watching this I reallllly don't wanna read it. And I'm so glad you're doing a highest rated books too!!! This was so fun to watch Chan! ❤️
Wow. When Wendy Williams read the first few lines of _The Mister_ on her show, I assumed it was from the woman's perspective.
“I’ve been cat fishing you.” ~looks exactly the same~
And here I through you'll read 'a hand book for mortals'.
I'm new here and I'd like to know where you keep the sleeves of your hardbound books?
they're in my closet
Heyyy! I was wondering if you could give a review for the Raven Cycle series??? I'm not sure if you've done it already, but i'd love to see your opinion on it :))
i likely will sometime in 2020
@@chandlerainsley Aahhh!! Thank you!! I'm look forward to it!!
I could use the salt from this video on my fries. 😂 Sucks that pretty much all of these were meh but I also don’t know what we expected? 😪
Why is genuine fraud rated so low? I loved it so much!
The Love Interest pissed me tf off at the endish when truths are revealed. It made it hard to come back around as things smoothed back out. I was just annoyed.
12:21 commutes, haha, remember those?
I am dead over the mister 😂😂
It sounds a bit odd at first when you said you won't read books with a lower rating than 4.0 stars. I mean, they aren't garbage when their ratings aren't high but I get cautious too. I've read a few books that had barely any reviews and the ratings were quite low. When I read books with very high ratings I tend to have too many expectations and in the end I'm not as hyped about them as I would've been if I hadn't seen their rating.
I stopped reading ship it after I realized this literally happened in the teen wolf fandom and she wrote fanfic while on the bus with the actors. It was 100 pages in and I hate that I spent money on it
Wait what?
New to your channel and only a few minutes into this video but your eyes are beautiful!
ah thank you!
what concealer you use? it’s amazing

I HATED genuine fraud, I cannot think about it without raging
So is Ship It the autobiography of a destiel/cockles fan? Sounds like it tbh
I don't remember We Were Liars very well, it was quite a while ago since I read it. I think I liked it overall but had some nitpicks. I think the plot is somewhat predictable and definitely clichéd.
So many of my favorites have low ratings on Goodreads lol
You're gorgeous and this video is super well done- how have I never heard of you? New sub
chandler: "u don't write fanfiction about real people, that's gross"
me: *thinking about the fanfiction i wrote about justin bieber when i was 12*
Shadowhunters had good representation but the ratings weren't high enough to keep it on the air. Same with Torchwood.
