I will NEVER forgive the booktok girlies for saying that Colleen Hoover was the “modern day Jane Austen”
I literally gasped in horror reading this
😂😂😂.
I read Collen Hoover it ends with us and like it but she is in no comparison to Jane Austen.
No... way....
wHaAAAAt
Omg they really said that???? Lmaooo
Honestly love how the entire time she's ranting about Breaking Dawn you can see the whole Twilight series on the shelf behind her.
i can’t get rid of them in case i ever need to reference them lolll
@@AClockworkReaderhonestly if you ever reviewed that series or did a readathon…. I’d rewatch the hell out of that
@@AClockworkReader you can just put a cover on the screen, you don´t need to physically hold them.
@@matastrakova2179 uhh I think she meant to refer to the content in the books
@@matastrakova2179pretty sure she means actually reference them, not show them. Lol. Also, they may be terrible but they are also cult classics. She probably wants to keep them 😂
i have a working theory that huge fans of colleen hoover have never read a good fanfic on ao3 in their life
or even a shitty fic on ao3 tbh 😭 coho’s writing is SO bad
Girlies recommend me some good ones, Ive only ever read one ao3 fic 🥲
Honestly the only people I know, who like her books are either not realy that much of a reader or just questionable as a person in general
@@bruja6698 what fandoms do you like? that’s the only thing about ao3, you can publish original works if you want but it’s really geared towards fandom and all types of fanfiction.
I feel like their taste has not developed enough to appreciate whatever it is novels like CoHo's do for them but understand they are in no way the crème de la crème of literature. It's like a toddler taste buds except there's no parenting control to fix it lol. Bc i get loving bad books while aware they are not great by any means, i do, but the delusion of thinking they are actually genius and groundbreaking and alike Jane Austen novels is so unserious and depressing.
half of the books being Collen hoover is hilarious. I have no idea how that person even fathoms publishing whatever the hell she writes about.
I remember seeing Colleen Hovers name on the windows at Barnes and Nobles and thinking how great it would be if I was that popular of an author to get my name up there like that. Then I read her books. 😱
What’s worse is that all her books have over 4 star averages on goodreads????
I only read CoHo's books because I find them hilariously bad
Wattpad girl here 👋 can confirm that there are DEFINITELY better wattpad fics than those books in that tier 😂
lmao
The wattpad comment sections were honestly more entertaining haha
Suggest then😭
Another Wattpad girlie!! ❤I don’t see many of us out in the wild lol
A another wattpad buddy!
The horrific implications if Bella chose Jacob and ended up giving birth to that one egg he was obsessed with...
Oh god why did I never think of it that way
Further evidence of Meyer not fully thinking out the implications of her concepts.
Or even if she didn’t have a child with that egg, but one day during her period, Jacob just suddenly doesn’t love her like that anymore
I will never get enough of Hannah tearing up shitty books
I love how confident you are to say your negative opinions about popular books. You're so right about these, my gosh. How are some of these so popular???😭😭😭
I read Ugly Love in March of this year and still have not picked up a book since because it put me in that bad of a reading slump.
sorrows sorrows prayers girllll 😣
My condolences 😭
That book was sooooo bad that I had to DNF it, and I don't usually DNF books.
Worst book I ever read
OMG two of her books did the same to me but wait !!! I wouldn’t call it slump bc two and half f@cking years in my case :) poor me it was traumatizing
It’s so refreshing seeing books that are typically SO largely advertised all over booktok being talked about in a negative manner. You really are a hidden booktuber gem and I love watching these videos
Hannah being a hater = I’m gonna laugh till my stomach hurts (fyi her sense of humour is always on fire as a hater)
One of my friends ONLY reads Colleen Hoover - refuses to read any other book - and it breaks my heart because there are so many good books out there. Or on Wattpad. Or AO3. Or in the trash can on the side of the road. And she won't take my suggestions to even try reading anything else that I have in my library THAT SHE DOESNT EVEN NEED TO PURCHASE. I might pass away.
😂😂😂
Omg imma die with you
I read Verity because of booktook hyping Colleen up and well...i stopped reading for a good two years. 😭😭😭 Now I'm much more careful about book recommendations.
me too
"Fourth Wing" was right to the deepest, darkest jail for me! I can't even begin!!! It was interesting to hear your opinions on everything. There is a new wave of readers that are beginning to notice an increasing change in the publishing industry. The term I hear going around is "fast fashion" but referring to books, I guess? Anyways, it's a noticeable difference where now there are on sight spelling errors, bad scenes, writing, character development, or even similar scenes from other books (near plagiarism), but to push out the book, it's overlooked. The stories aren't as deep, emotional or even remotely linking with the readers that wanted a GOOD story, and for those seeking that world-diving experience, they are struggling. For authors trying to put out a name, it's difficult with fast fashion books swarming social media. But anywhooos, thanks for another fantastic video, Hannah!
I go old school and just call them “rags” 😂 the mindless poorly researched and written drivel of a tabloid, now in novel form!
One of my classmates said “you like reading, right” and when I said yes recommended me fourth wing and I had to awkwardly finish that conversation because I know from all I’ve heard and read about it that I really won’t like it.
Like, I’m happy that this makes her happy and got her to read, but also we are on completely different ends of the reading sphere
These bad books have always existed, I think that viral marketing has just become so refined that these books now become extremely popular which has started a trend of more of these books being published.
rebecca yarros' ignorance about scottish gaelic, the minority language she chose to pull direct words from to use in her book, is enough for that to go straight to jail for me. she called it the wrong language and wildly mispronounced every word when asked about them, and said they were right bc that's how *she* wants it to be said like girl... those are words that exist in a real language that you are using, she clearly has zero respect for that. she's not the only author that's done this, not even the first to do it w scottish gaelic, but she's still on my personal shit list for that lmfao
I discovered this channel when I read a little life and hated it so violently that I actively searched for other people who hated it as much as I did ❣We’ve come full circle bestie
omg same when i went to my local bookshop one of the employees said “if you read it and don’t cry, i think there might be something wrong with you” and then i finished it and thought to myself “this is supposed to be GOOD?” i truly thought i was alone in my hatred
We should make a club
Omg same!! I hate that book
The way Hannah is my comfort TH-camr at this point
Same🥹🫶
Same
us bestie us
real honestly
I'm seeing a lot of people saying things like "oh gosh I used to love Twilight/ACOTAR/etc before I realized how bad they were", and I _do_ think it's worth remembering that 'bad' books are popular for a reason. Bad books get popular because they do something well. Twilight has a really strong voice that makes it flow very easily. The first couple ACOTAR books do a really good job introducing their setting, characters and relationships in such a way that it's really easy to blaze through them. Even the wizard books make for pretty fun wish fulfillment--you're magic and famous and rich and all your enemies are fat (a Mortal Sin, obviously*) and dumb and ugly. You save the world and get _all_ the school points. You're so good at sports. The principal gives you special treatment and everyone wants to be your friend. A guy who already wants to kill you happens to be Wizard H!tler, so you get to feel progressive and shiny while actually doing next-to-nothing to be an ally. Like, there's something there for everyone.
So, like, by all means, engage with your old faves critically! But also, I don't think it made you dumb or clueless that you used to like them. 'Bad' is mostly determined by which qualities you prioritize when you take stock of a book. "Easy reading" or "fun wish fulfillment" aren't worthless qualities at all.
*this is big sarcasm and i do not condone this take
Bad books arw popular because most people have no reading conprehension
@@LynnHermione I don't think being able to enjoy flawed or outright trashy media is a weakness. It's a great skill to be able to find the good in the bad!
I totally agree! I think a lot of these books are super accessible and have a main character you want to root for-or be. Most of the ones I’ve read are really emotionally indulgent (whether you’re enjoying yourself or are hate-reading) which inspires a strong response and generates attention.
It’s super important to talk about the deep flaws that any story contains (for a multitude of reasons, but especially when it’s aimed towards minors or where the lines of consent are blurred). Educating about problematic traits in a book is constructive. Hating or shaming people for enjoying these stories is not.
I also think you tend to overlook certain things when you are younger. I read acotar way back when I was 13 and it was first released. But when I read the newer books I began noticing all the issues with the narrative and the themes, which I personally disagree with. So I completely understand why the books might appeal to younger readers.
I don't know... some of what these books "do well" is manipulate the psychological flaws of their audience. Romance/erotica books can get away with things other genres cannot because if it makes its audience hot and bothered, they will let a good amount of questionable things slide- especially teenagers with little experience with real life relationships and less developed critical thinking skills
oh i love love when booktubers just right out say what they hate, it's so cathartic!! this was so fun to watch!
The weird part of Fourth Wing is that I enjoy hate reading it??? It’s so predictable I’m just challenging myself to see how many things I can get right and it’s not hard. I got the last minute twist the first time the character was even mentioned because I’m pretty sure the author stole it from Red Queen.
I’m just having fun with it at this point.
Breaking Dawn omg. My sixteen year old self was obsessed with these books and when BD came out, I was so hyped. Literally when I read Bella was pregnant, I put the book down and never picked it up again. If our teenage selves knew this was hot garbage, how did none of the adults in the publishing process realize the same?!?!
Haha by the time BD came out no one in the publishing business cared about the content. They knew we were all going to buy it (and then watch it too) 😂 she could have handed them a peanut butter and jelly sandwich recipe book and it would have gone to print
I feel the same. I went to a midnight release party with friends. I made a shirt. I stayed up all night reading it. I’ve never thrown a book across the room faster than when Renesme tore through Bella’s uterus other than when we find out that Jacob imprinted on a literal newborn. 🤢🤮
As a 12 year old I stopped reading after New Moon because I thought it was so stupid that she spent half the book/several months moping around for some guy that she really hadn't known very long. And then when he doesn't come back she runs after him?!?! (That may be slightly wrong, it's been over decade, but whatever).
She said: "If shre has no haters left? Im dead" 😂
Torture Man sounds like a real life version of the fake book Brent wrote in season 4 of The Good Place
EXACTLY but tbh it actually sounds like an even WORSE version to me 😂
Omggg so true! I love that show. Although iirc, the book isn’t fake. He legitimately made it
What you said about Ugly Love was so damn satisfying. That book should not have been published and seeing the high ratings on Goodreads was such a surreal moment. I was like, we have not read the same book guys what…
I heard that it sounds interesting which couldve been if it wasnt so damn boring.
I can't even say for certain what my top three leaste favourite books are. But one thing I know to core of my being is that the popularity of Fourth Wing make me irrationally angry. Yes, it's not the worst thing I've read but the rage that fills me when I think of how little effort Yarros put into it is pure. Kind of like those Balenciaga towel skirts marked at ridiculous prices simply because they can. And to add even more fuel to my firey hatred, I feel confident that this is something that only a very specific demographic can get away with.
You're the first person I've seen complaining about Fourth Wing and I'm so happy I'm not alone. I couldn't finish the thing, from the protagonist with naturally metallic hair, the obvious hype around the two dragons that she would obviously get, the toxic and predictable love interest, and the complete lack of worldbuilding
I kinda admire you.. i would've never read something from an author if i've already hated one book, let alone 4
hahahaha same! i think she only did it because she was doing a challenge
Eh, I've had authors where I rated one book 5 stars and loathed the other. So it does happen.
yes! i hadn't watched that video when i commented @@mh7936
Hannah is the logical side of my brain trying to tell me that a little life is just bad and harmful while the rest of my brain cells are still crying over jude st francis
like i KNOW it’s bad but that book literally became my roman empire in every way🧍♀️
ACOTAR is truly so bad but for some reason such a comfort series for me. i feel like it’s the equivalent of finding comfort in trash reality tv hahaha
That’s how I am with throne of glass lmao
I wish I had your feelings, it would make my life easier but all I feel is resentment towards this series, it has ruined so many books for me 😞
also you're so well spoken!!! i got so excited seeing this video, very enjoyable (and satisfying) to watch :)
"jacob imprinting on an unfertilized egg"....... I am dying!! 🤣🤣💀💀
I just see a notification on a new video from Hannah and instantly click! Hannah has given me so many good books recommendations to read and NOW gives me the opportunity to save time and filter some of the books I so frequently see on social media that are JUST NO GOOD!
Just... THANK YOU, this should be considered a public service XD
I reread The Selection and i was shocked bc i hated it but when i was 12-13 i loved every second of it. 😂
It's just one of those series that was better when u were younger bc I feel the same😭
(spoiler) the fact that ugly love had "we laughed at our sons big balls" right before the infant DIES is so funny to me
just discovered your channel and have been binge watching for few days now and all the books you have in the background looks interesting, hope to see 2023/24 bookshelf tour soon!
I actually like some of the books Hannah reviewed in this video (like A little life) but I absolutely loved the honest and fresh take on them? Earned a subscriber, LOVE a youtuber not shying away from their actual opinions just because something is popular.
A Little Life is one of the worst books I've ever read and think it's my life mission to keep my loved ones as far away as possible from this book
I feel like you love it or hate it, cause I loved how it was written, however awful it was, for me it was really good
@@Hannah_96 i thought the writing was beautiful and rly moving. i never thought the topics were handled badly but there was a lot going on maybe to rly recognize anything done wrong
I loved the writing style but it was so boring and the ending was really bad
@@Annikidiaryloving the writing style while finding it boring is contradictory, excellent critique
The prose, I think, is the only reason I was able to get through the book without putting it down. It is engaging and beautifully written- vividly so, and Yanighara’s vocabulary is top notch, along with the way she strings sentences together and embeds really good metaphors into the book. But the issue isn’t the writing- the issue is the content, the lack of research, the grotesque obsession with making Jude’s life as MISERABLE as possible, the gratuitous violence, the number of gay men that die for no reason, and mostly everyone in Jude’s life died except his parents and JB. You can clearly tell that the author hadn’t done research even before she’d admitted to it. I love violent books- I’ve read exquisite corpse- but this was excessive and unnecessary, and genuinely such a chore to get through some scenes where you can tell that the author just fucking hates Jude.
thank u for uploading during my break from studying I NEEDED THIS SO BAD!!!!
I love reading books and i have read books before but not so much. for the past month i have been obsessed with your channel and it has inspired me to read more and more books. Can't wait to get more recommendations from you
"if she has no haters left, I'm dead" LMAO
The coho hate is very valid tbf. Here for it, second it, encourage it - and yes, if you enjoy sth, don’t let others take that joy away from you, but when it’s romanticising abuse, etc., then the hype is just too much (and deeply unwarranted imo).
And being annoyed with the success of shite (criminal) storytelling - oh so relatable.
I remember loving the Fallen series when I was in high school. Now in my thirties, looking back, it was ENTIRELY the covers! My little emo and goth-loving heart thought those covers--especially for the first book--were gorgeous! 🖤 I'm not even sure if I actually remember anything that happened in that series... was it like a past lives thing? And then every time the main couple got together, the girl died??
Yeahhhh they had “Fallen” and were being punished forever 😂
@@austinm8334 Oh...dear Lord 🙄😆
I’ve missed you so much !! Glad to see ya ❤
I love your tier rankings! 😊
I love that you don't apologize for being a hater.
your videos always me cheer me during my bad days thank you
Hannah you are like my big sister and I really really love your explanation so so much and I wish you have a best Friday✨♥️😀
Girllll this video is aesthetic !! It's a pleasure to watch. And I love your humour lol. Keep it up !!
i truly believe that your videos brought back my love for reading. i was depressed from a young age and lost nearly all passion for it, just stayed glued to my phone, and while i did read hours and hours of mediocre wattpad fiction, i could never bring myself to pick up an actual novel. i started an english literature course this year on a whim, and i am so, so glad i did. thanks for being with me on this journey!
i love the videos where you rant about the books you didn't like, i feel like you always have something unique to say about them
i love these tier-ranking videos from you. i read 2 of these books and gave them 5 stars, but they were my first introduction to romantasy and thriller and i don't disagree with anything you said about either of them.
this was such a fun video. thank for for doing the lord's work. 😂
OMG, I love your ranking videos! Could you do a "classics" ranking?
Yeah the age difference in classics can be quite uncomfortable
I love your videos so much Hannah!! ❤
You and Hailey posting on the same day is like christmas and birthday at the same time🎉
As a disabled person and full time wheelchair user, Me Before You deserves right to jail💀💀 anytime someone mentions that book I swear I blackout and just list every reason that book is terrible and incredibly ableist💀
i know these books suck but i lowkey want you to keep reading terrible books because your reviews on them are literally so beyond entertaining
THANK YOU, HANNAH! I NEED THIS RN
Ooh I remember picking up Fallen in the book store when I was like 14 cause I was in my angel-romance-phase and just absolutely loved the cover. I ended up never actually reading it and now I'm glad I apparently didn't miss out at all
I am SO GLAD that someone finally talked about the fact that Divergent isn’t actually good!!!! There are multiple things wrong with this book, but no one noticed it because they where blindsided by the “feminist” unnecessary revolution leader. From the books I have read from this list, you called it perfectly. PREACH QUEEN!!!!!👑👑👑
Divergent is notoriously bad among adult readers. It's a kids' book for below average kids.
Divergent was really fun! The next two books in the series were nonsensical trash though
Was looking for new one to read. Glad I see this before buying The fourth Wing coz its so popular😅. Thank you.
The fact that most of Colleen Hoover’s books were wattpad fics originally 😭 that’s how she can publish books so fast bc it’s just “editing” them lol , but with Verity she apparently finished writing it like 3 or so days before it was released and I’m just HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE/ALLOWED?! 😭 and also the fact that verity is such pro-life propaganda it makes me physically ill and the extra chapter just makes it worse
Deadass? If so, I’ve never seen her books on Wattpad🤷🏽♀️
@@Ashley-Lopez lol yeah 💀 she mentioned it on her instagram and in an interview I think?? But god bless you didn’t run into her on wattpad 😭✊
Where Verity was a pro life propaganda 💀 we didn't read the same book
@@valenugasy i wouldnt say propaganda but it's definitely pro life with abortion never being an option for pregnant women in the books and the book tries to demonise verity for not feeling 100% positive of the pregnancy
@@Lovefortea448 bruh she tried to kill her daughter, obviously Verity wasn’t a good person. Also she had the baby because her boyfriend wanted a baby, but I don’t remember nobody obligated her
Hannah called me out so hard talking about ACOTAR 😭 it actually was my first romantasy and i LOVED it *at the time*
"If she has no haters left, I'm dead." Hahahaha, I laughed out loud. This video is amazing and I am here for the hate. I value your honesty! I feel like people are so afraid to say what they really think anymore. It's kind of sad. Things don't always have to be so super duper positive all the time. Thanks for the laughs. 🥰
I love the squishmallow editions to the bookshelves
Perfect timing girl, I just sat out for dinner!:))
My lowest rated book doesn't go below 2.5⭐ because anything lower gets a DNF. And that one 2.5⭐ book **should** have been a DNF. Learned my lesson. I'll never waste my time reading anything less than a 3⭐ again!
I can't knock that strategy but have you never read a book that was decent or promising and then the very very end just completely undid any virtues it had up to that point? Like if it was pretty good and all suspenseful and like "who is the murderer?" or whatever and then you get to the last page, expecting a shocking and satisfying twist but instead it just says "then I woke up."
@@asterismos5451 no
@@the_eerie_faerie_tales nice
Same. I don't rate books lower than a 2-star because I would DNF anything worse than 2 stars.
Now I'm glad I'm literally years behind in terms of reading the latest popular books so I've avoided these. Great video.
Your review of a little life is so spot on. I am so glad I am not the only one who felt that way.
I love these kinds of videos!
as a csa survivor i found such a deep level of understanding and love in a little life , i’ve reread it twice and to this day nothing has made me feel the way it did, it made me come to terms with myself and finally seek help for it
it’s one of my favorite books of all time
When I started this video, I thought about which books would be on my list and immediately thought "Fallen" - color me pleased to see it on your list too!
I also hated A Little Life. Over 700 pages and for what?! It starts off and is even summarized as a story about 4 college friends and it very quickly becomes just about two, really. You get like 1 chapter about the other two and theyre very brief. Meanwhile, while youre wondering if youre ever going to get more substance on those two characters, the real main character is having to go through horrific and traumatizing events left and right FOR NO REASON. It's just torture porn. It offers very little disscusions about adolescence, relationships, and just about the human condition in general and for a book to be almost 1000 pages, you would THINK that it would have something more of interest. Nope. Just yuck.
Thank you for this video, I’ve been debating picking up a Colleen Hoover book for a while and you just saved me time that I can spend reading better books like the ones on your favorites videos, which some I have already read and are some of my favorites!💕
I just finished reading Verity. I feel cheated. I did not order a cheap porno. I want a refund. 😭
I think the only reason why I liked verity was because firstly it was in German, so it wasn’t in her original words and secondly I skipped the sex scenes
Man what a throwback fallen really was, I had forgotten it completely, I remember picking this up at borders in 2012, back when there still was some of those stores, man the memories, and what a ba boom too 😂
Agree with a lot of these. The only thing I will say is a lot of people who hate on HP and the Cursed Child forget that it's a play and that it's not really meant to be read. I haven't actually seen the play, but from what I've heard, the sets, the costumes, the special effects and actors really do make it a great show and the actual plot is the weakest thing about it. Does it add to the HP story? No. Do I consider it canon ? Also no, as it wasn't even written by JK Rowling. I feel like it's an addition to the franchise, like the Very Potter Musical, or even the Fantastic Beast Films. To enjoy for more magic but not part of the original series. I think we all mistook it for an 8th HP book which it isn't. I don't think it's enjoyable to read, but I do still want to see the play as it is supposed to be pretty cool, so I wouldn't say it was a cashgrab. For me anything that isn't the 7 books is separate. The movies, Fantastic Beasts, the play etc is just all bonus content to enjoy or not. I don't think it was necessary to publish the script though, same with the fantastic beasts script, apart from being a collectors item, not to be read.
Hannah hater videos are my favorites honestly 😂
Great video! I would be really interested in a video fully dedicated to "The Fountainhead"
slay. been waiting for this one
So nice to see you my GOD this is hilarious thank you for this 🤣🤣
I will forever be a Selection Defender so i thank you for at least letting it be in the wattpad tier,, that's valid lol
same lol the selection is my guilty pleasure. i just thought it was so cute and charming when i read it.
I don’t know how to feel because you have my favorite book of all time on here but the number of CoHo books present warms my soul
Is it a little life? Lol same
I was expecting Harry Potter to be in your previous video of all your fav books. You have a entire shelf for HP
she doesn't like to talk about it because the author is a terf
your bookshelves are so prettyyyy
I just finished In Memoriam by Alice Winn, it was the best book I’ve read this year. I’d be so interested to hear your perspective on it. It is very heavy so to anyone who wants to read it trigger warnings may be good since it is set in WW1, but I feel the characters and the morality of the book were really compelling.
I’ve just started the last tale of the flower bride, i’m not super into it yet but the mysterious atmosphere is keeping me going. I’m hoping I end up loving it
Dragonflight by Ann McCaffery, the Selection, Red Queen and Throne of Glass, are all on my most hated list… in that order from worst to best lol.
Also, I would like to thank you for going through the trouble of reading CoHo… I was about to start her until I saw your video when you read several of her books. Never been more glad to have dodged a bullet in my life 🙌🏼
I started reading the ACOTAR books out of morbid curiosity and ended up falling in love with them, but I definitely agree with your assessment of it. The way to truly enjoy them (IMO) is to shut off your thinking brain, take whatever SJM writes at face value, and just go along with the ride.
Oh I'm reading it and I am shutting my brain each time 😅😅😅
My way of enjoying them is:
1. Listening to the audiobook
2. Which has an amazing narrator
3. And cute music in-between chapters
4. Writing down what i hate about it / find illogical so i can write a furious 10 page review
In all seriousness, the first acotar id honestly my favorite cause I love the atmosphere. Like i just ignore the romance (tho tamlin is okay in the first book).
I've listened to the first four books and only read acosf and my opinion went from shitty guilty pleasure to absolute hatred (it hsd potential)
In a book slump so I’m consuming so much book media 😭
I remember vividly reading most of these books when I was 13/14/15 and honestly I think I really enjoyed most of them - the Twilight era, Selection era, Divergent and ALSO Colleen Hoover was popular (less than today) back then - I also forgot I read most of these until this video (its been years) and now I'm honestly revisiting all of these books and I'm just....shocked :Ddd Now I can really see the issues some of them are portraying to the readers and not in a good way, I'm also studying gender studies at uni now so I honestly don't think I will ever enjoy any of these books ever again (but I'm glad!) :D I've also never thought about the pro-life aspect of Breaking Down! Thank you for this video, I will now spend my evening happily reading about all of these books and why are some of them quite problematic.
Always a pleasure to see you shit talking about books 😂 i love it!
Ps: Where did you get the necklace? Is it a merch from strange the dreamer?
She has a link to her jewelry in the description! :)
Love this ❤ I love booktubers that don't fear to give their opinions. And it's fun! 😅
My most hated books of all time are The Mirror Visitor by Christelle Dabbos and Blindness by Saramago. Gosh are those books horrible! One of them is so gratuitously violent and disgusting, and the other says caycalling is a compliment.
I am so happy somebody else finally has some sense when it comes to Colleen Hoover - that woman is a stain on the bottom of the writing community's shoe 🤡 I agree with everything on this list!!!
once again our opinions and experiences align perfectly bc i also gave fourth wing two stars at first but started hating it the more i thought about it and dropped it to a one star (and i also HATE how something so bad is so popular like icb that we're gonna get copycat fourth wings bc of this i wanna VOMIT) but yes we are the same person as always and i will proudly remain a hater as well
Some books i had red in my life and wondered.....HOW THE HELL are these actual published books. When i KNOW there is ALOT ALOT LOADS of other better literature written but never gotten the chance to even pass the rounds to get it turned into a book omg.
I LIVEEEEE for hannah's rant videos though so im super happy with this video thank youuu xD
I love this so much. Yes, I have given multiple of these book a 5/5. ACOTAR is my fave series ever. But, you are literally a comedian and u could literally shit talk my favorite books and I would be laughing my ass off
god it's so therapeutic to see someone hate on things you also hate. deservedly I might add 😌
I think the worst book I ever read was The Lost Book of the White by Cassandra Clare. I'm not being completely objective here, but it left the biggest impression on me, because I actually had high hopes for it. It basically reads like a badly written fanfiction spinoff of the The Mortal Instruments.
Sometimes i think about the fact that, as an ex Jodi Picoult girl, i would probably also be eating up Colleen Hoover books if I was a teen right now. And that terrifies me.
omg been waiting for this oneee
