Seeing so many people roast the hell out of Nothing but blackened teeth is actually making me want to read it just to find out how bad it could possibly be lmao
If people scold you for not liking a book because they do, they’re the problem. I honestly love how you talk about books and I respect your opinions. When you first talked about blackened teeth I was going to get it, buuut forgot about it and now I’m glad I didn’t. lol
Great video as usual. And don’t feel so bad about the bad picks for the book club, it happens. It’s sort of beautiful and comforting to experience a bad book with others. It sort of helps the process IMO 🤷🏻♀️😂
That’s true!! 👀 I just hope I can pick better books next year haha that would be cool if one of my picks ended up on the best of the year instead of the worst 🤣
Nothing but blackened teeth was SOOOO bad. I wanted to tear that book and burn it halfway through. And I'm good at reading at least 200 page in one day and I finished this book in 5 days because I read 2 pages and I wanted to slam my head into something 😅
i cried after i read it, not cuz the book was total dogshit but because i spent so much money for something that i think my sister could write and she doesn't even speak English...
I agree that doing The Most Disappointing & Worst Books videos are painful. The Best Books videos are way more fun! 😁 And thanks for the examples of the dialogue in Blackened Teeth. That would've been a DNF for me for sure. 😄
Great video! I personally did like Hairpin Bridge, but I definitely liked No Exit more.n hairpin Bridge did get kind of confusing at times and was really drawn out.
I love your sweater/cardigan Gabby. 💖 It looks cozy. ❄️ ☕️ That would be a great merch item. I agree that Hairpin Bridge was a disappointing read. I expected better. My worst book of the year would have to be All’s Well by Mona Awad. 🎭 It started off okay but then it became weird and I did not like it. It’s genre classification is what deceived me into expecting something that it wasn’t. My thoughts may be an unpopular opinion but it is what it is. 😂 Thanks for doing this video so I can stay away from these books 📚 since we have similar tastes. I’m looking for to your Best Books of the Year video.
LOL! I totally forgot The Haunting of Brynn Wilder happened this year 🤣 Totally agree on Nothing But Blackened Teeth! I actually love You Should Have Left (gave it 5 stars) - it's definitely more of an experience than a story, if you are ever curious about what it's like being inside a deranged head like Jack Torrance's from The Shining, it will give you exactly that.
Blegh I completely agree with this list. I DNFd Camp Slaughter, and The Haunting of Brynn Wilder, The Wrong Family, and Nothing But Blackened Teeth were some of the absolute worst books I read this year 😩
I also love John Marrs usually but The Minders was just a 2 star read for me. So slow paced and not easy to get into at all! Pretty sure I restarted it about five times!!
Good call on Nothing But Blackened Teeth. I too was really excited about the premise of this one and I ended up hating it. You're right in that it wasn't scary at all. What a waste of a great premise.
My book group has made a rule: You do not recommend a book for the group that you have not read--you know it will work for the group whether it is interesting enough that people will like OR it will be a great book for discussion. I feel that you will find (this is my opinion only) that once members of the group dislike a book or two that you have chosen they will not be on board for continuing to participate. Pick books you have read and really found intriguing--it makes for great discussions.
I think that’s a great idea for book clubs that meet in real life! The only reason I don’t pick books for my book club that I’ve already read is because everyone already knows how I feel going into it, and I kind of like the surprise of not knowing how I’m gonna feel about a book before the live show. I like the idea of experiencing the book all together for the first time instead of just reading books together that I’ve already read. And I think it makes the live shows more fun for viewers if they don’t know how I feel about the book yet, it adds a fun element to it
@@gabbyreads I certainly see your point. Then you just have to put up with the fact that you are not always going to pick winners. As long as your group understands that going into it, then I think it sounds great. You do a great job with your channel so understand I am not critizing at all.
I like reading the book along with the host. It's fun to hear everyone's opinion at the same time. What is one person's least favorite book could be someone's favorite.
I love slasher books but hated Camp Slaughter too. I also DNF’d over half way through. Just not fun for me haha. I didn’t hate Hairpin Bridge, but it reminded me of Taylor Adam’s’ other books. It also reminded me a bit of Survive The Night (which I also didn’t hate haha). I totally forgot about The Haunting of Bryan Wilder, that was not a fun book. It was weirdly marketed, and hopefully people learn from this when they start to market books. It really does the author a disservice.
Nothing But Blackened Teeth almost got yeeted into the trash but luckily I found a little free library to chuck that crap into 😂. I was pissed I spent 20 dollars on it as well
My least favorites: The Dream Job by Kiersten Modglin, The Wrong Family by Tarryn Fisher, The Vanishing by Bentley Little and The Hollow Places by T Kingsfisher
Such a fun age, felix ever after and the great gatsby were my worst reads of 2021. Omg I could not stand these books. Closely followed was the very mediocre (in my opinion) the vanishing half. I almost fell asleep multiple times whilst reading this. My favourite book of the year was The Push. Excellent book!
I haven’t heard anything good about Hairpin Bridge sadly 😢 sucks because No Exit was great! I listened to Nothing but Blackened Teeth and some of the dialogue I was like…. 🤨 lmao! Totally accurate about them just arguing the entire time lmao your dialogue SENT ME 💀
I actually loved Hairpin Bridge, and I've thought about it since I read it so much more than I've thought of No Exit. I know a lot of people didn't like it, I only write this so some people see that there were people who liked it! lol :)
Ive heard so many bad reviews of You Should Have Left from English speakers but Ive read it 3 times in the original German and i loved it every time haha. It has the premise of House of Leaves in 90 pages instead of 700+
Hairpin Bridge was my first thriller rec after really getting into book tube this year, and OMG I was like "really?!?!" as each chapter flipped by and NOT in a good way lol. Hot garbage 🤣
Me repeating the dialogue for Nothing But Blackened Teeth in a different tone, thinking it doesn’t sound so bad if the voice is angry and paced differently. Now, I need to read it to see. 🤷🏾♀️
My disappointed reads this year were: "The Impossible Julien Strand" series by Kathryn Ann Kingsley. Ugh. Ridiculous and annoying. Happy Holidays to you and yours! Cheers!
I also hated Nothing But Blackened Teeth. Dialogue and characters were cringy, it was rittled with confusing and pompous metaphors, and wasn't scary in the slightest. I DNFed it at page 75 so I didn't even get to the "good part". I was so disappointed because just like you I bought it for $20 which I was super reluctant to do with a book I love for that short of a book but it looked and sounded so amazing. What a crock! I am sad The Haunting of Brynne Wilder is bad. It has been sitting on my Kindle for awhile. I will probably still read it since I own it and at least now I can go into it with the right expectations.
Harpin Bridge has to be one of the worst. I went in with high hopes and I still couldn’t really tell u what happened in that book. What was real what was just what she thought happened and that endings with kid?! How how?!! It’s been weeks if not months no idea how is it alive?! No I don’t believe it
While I liked Nothing but Blackened Teeth it felt like the author fell into that trap of making all of the characters irrationally argumentative and aggressive for the sake of creating drama. They were constantly at each others throats for no reason whatsoever. It made the friend group seem impossible because no one would set up a wedding like that knowing that none of them could be in the same room for more than three minutes without a fight.
I didn’t understand the ending of the haunting of brynn wilder ! I loved the haunting of brynn wilder but I gave it 4/5 stars due to the ending! I was lost
The absolute WORST book I've ever read was The Dollhouse Asylum by Mary Gray. I'm against book abuse, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't throw this book against the wall and think of burning it. It was THAT bad. If you'd like to torture yourself and kill some braincells, read it! Second worst is Den of Vipers which I DNF'd this year because it was basically a Wattpad novel. Poorly written, flat characters, and just generally fucked up. I don't recommend this one even if you purposefully want to read a bad book.
In Defense of you should have left - it is translated (which sometimes you lose some) It is purposely written as the person losing their mind, which is the continuity issue. I felt like I was losing it reading it, which is what is intended. Respect your opinion of course but just wanted to add a different perspective 😊😊
cannot agree more about May the Best Man Win! my worst read of the year by far. I am trans (though not a trans man) and while some of the internal struggles of the character were highly relatable, the rest of the book was such a mess that it was overshadowed. Not to mention that a lot of autistic reviewers were criticising the rep in the book too
Girllll finally I see someone say they hated Nothing But Blackened Teeth 😂😂😂 cause that book I wanted to throw across the room. Like it was supposed to be a haunted book more like a ghetto book about hoes arguing I’m sorry I had to say it 🥴😂🤦🏽♀️ likeeeee the dialogue was soooo atrocious I was like nuh uh that’s it. I also hated White Smoke, that book just threw me tf offfff like the girl was acting oblivious to everythinggggggg and try blame it on her needing weed like God help meee! The other black girl took me for a whirl and as a black girl I felt totally targeted and it felt like an old Karen wrote it 😂😬 I’m currently reading Final Support Group and Doctor Sleep audiobook, and The Mary Shelley Club. I like them so far but Stephen King has a wild mind and I wish the book had put trigger warnings about rape 🤦🏽♀️ it was a little confusing but it’s good so far 😊

I love these worst books videos, I just wish every youtuber didn’t have to add a disclaimer at the beginning. If someone gets mad that you didn’t like a book they enjoyed, that’s a them problem, not a you problem
Honestly, unless I’m reading a non-fiction, I don’t want to hear anything about covid. False Witness by Karin Slaughter had so much unnecessary covid tidbits in it, it pissed me off. I, too, rated The Wrong Family low. Although, I was nicer, I guess. It got a 2. 😂
Nothing But Blackened Teeth was such a bad book but a big reason it disappointed me was because I felt like it was such a massive disservice to Japanese folklore. The author is Asian but isn't Japanese and I really felt like the setting was only chosen to take advantage of so much folklore with no explanation (particularly the references to Japanese culture and terms). I'm not own voices but I just felt like it wasn't fair for the author to use another culture as plot devices in such a cheap way.
I didn't read Nothing But Blackened Teeth but what a WASTE of an amazing cover... Comparing yourself to a classic like the shining but just basically ripping off key points from someone else's book....yikes
Yes I anticipated nothing but blackened teeth it was so stupid I fell asleep during the audio book 😒I hated that book and I thought it was suppose to be scary the cover is amazing the story wasn’t
Brynn Wilder was SO BORING. I became a Wendy Webb fan after Temperance Dare and her last few books have gotten worse and worse. Unless I hear really fantastic things about the next one, I am off the WW train. Metsan Valo was such a hot mess. I had to DNF Samantha Irby's We Are Never Meeting in Real Life. I picked that one for our book club (yay me) because we wanted something light-hearted and funny. This book is anything but that. I don't think anyone in book club finished it. There are some really dark, dark things that happen in that book that had I known about it, I would not have read it. I certainly would not have suggested it. The cover is all cutesy and the blurbs say things about how hilarious it is and that is just a straight up lie.
Seeing so many people roast the hell out of Nothing but blackened teeth is actually making me want to read it just to find out how bad it could possibly be lmao
Same here
Gabby reading the dialogue from Nothing but blackened teeth was hilarious and it made my day lmao
Gabby you are just the best! Whenever I need a book reccomendation, a distraction or to relax, your videos are always there. Thank you so much❤
I‘d love to see a video where you tier rank all the books you‘ve read this year, just like you did last year! 😊 I still love the tier ranking videos!
Yes yes yes yes!!
I just read the Push and now I'm starting winter people and have 4 more to pick up at the library! I love all your recommendations
If people scold you for not liking a book because they do, they’re the problem. I honestly love how you talk about books and I respect your opinions. When you first talked about blackened teeth I was going to get it, buuut forgot about it and now I’m glad I didn’t. lol
Thank you for uploading Gabby I always look forward to your videos 🥰

I think it's really cool that I can see you taking steps to improve your videos! Good job, Gabby!
we stan a consistent queen
Love the honesty! The Wrong Family, Reconstructing Amelia, Sharp Objects and The Push were my worst of the year🥴
The push was soooo good!! 😩🤭
Yeah, The Push was pretty amazing…
I've heard nothing but bad reviews on Nothing But Blackened Teeth. I'm so glad I didn't buy it as I intended.
Really been loving your videos and recommendations. I’m just getting into reading recently and I’m about to read Rock Paper Scissors hehe
I loved that you inserted the Weekendween dialogue on Blackened Teeth. Cracked me up back then and still does now!! That sounds SO CRINGE
Nothing but blackened teeth was SOOOO bad. I wanted to tear that book and burn it halfway through. And I'm good at reading at least 200 page in one day and I finished this book in 5 days because I read 2 pages and I wanted to slam my head into something 😅

Love her cardigan too.
Thank you for this. I love all of your videos
“I don’t enjoy roasting books… you know sometimes I do, sometimes I do” lmao that had me cackling.
LOL! I totally forgot The Haunting of Brynn Wilder happened this year 🤣 Totally agree on Nothing But Blackened Teeth! I actually love You Should Have Left (gave it 5 stars) - it's definitely more of an experience than a story, if you are ever curious about what it's like being inside a deranged head like Jack Torrance's from The Shining, it will give you exactly that.
I’d love to see a video tier ranking the 2021 releases you’ve read this year.
I love the honesty.
Blegh I completely agree with this list. I DNFd Camp Slaughter, and The Haunting of Brynn Wilder, The Wrong Family, and Nothing But Blackened Teeth were some of the absolute worst books I read this year 😩
I really appreciate you creating this best, worst and surprise read series. Really helps us to filter few things who can't read as much as you.
Hi Gabby!! It'll be amazing if you could make a video on best books of 2021!
You Should Have Left also has a movie right? I'm pretty sure I've seen the trailer some time ago
You're my comfort TH-camr ever! I'm so happy for your existence fr!
🥺🥺🥰🙌💞
I also love John Marrs usually but The Minders was just a 2 star read for me. So slow paced and not easy to get into at all! Pretty sure I restarted it about five times!!
First John marrs ive read. Such a bummer
@@divad44 His other books are amazing
@@aleeka99 I have to much PTSD to read anything from him. I’ll have to give it a while unfortunately

17:00 the conversation 😂😂
"watching paint dry" lmao I lost it
I love slasher books but hated Camp Slaughter too. I also DNF’d over half way through. Just not fun for me haha.
I didn’t hate Hairpin Bridge, but it reminded me of Taylor Adam’s’ other books. It also reminded me a bit of Survive The Night (which I also didn’t hate haha).

UGH OUR MUTUAL DISLIKE FOR THE WRONG FAMILY .. iconic. I hated it SO MUCH.
It was so bad lmao I’m so sorry I put us through that 🤣🤣🤣
I would love a video recommendation of the best horror novellas.
I love your vids! 💛🧡
Nothing But Blackened Teeth almost got yeeted into the trash but luckily I found a little free library to chuck that crap into 😂. I was pissed I spent 20 dollars on it as well
John Marrs also spoils Gone Girl in The One.
My least favorites: The Dream Job by Kiersten Modglin, The Wrong Family by Tarryn Fisher, The Vanishing by Bentley Little and The Hollow Places by T Kingsfisher
My two one star books this year were Every Vow You Break and We Were Never Here.
last house on needless street for me. ugh i did not like it at all!! 😩
Same

I was wondering why minders was not in the disappointing video😅

It’s actually extremely rare for me to hate a book. Nothing but Blackened Teeth almost murdered me with cringe.
I enjoyed the movie version of You Should Have Left, maybe you would get more out of it that way. 😂
Ive heard so many bad reviews of You Should Have Left from English speakers but Ive read it 3 times in the original German and i loved it every time haha. It has the premise of House of Leaves in 90 pages instead of 700+
I have definitely felt the same embarrassment when a book that I select for a book club falls flat for group members,
Hairpin Bridge was my first thriller rec after really getting into book tube this year, and OMG I was like "really?!?!" as each chapter flipped by and NOT in a good way lol. Hot garbage 🤣
Me repeating the dialogue for Nothing But Blackened Teeth in a different tone, thinking it doesn’t sound so bad if the voice is angry and paced differently. Now, I need to read it to see. 🤷🏾♀️
Would LOVE to have the full spoilers on these books since I'm definitely not gonna read them anyways lol ;p
I finished The Haunting on Brynn, but the romance was awful !! I just wanted to see what happened to the other characters
My worst book is honestly Addie Larue only because the repetitiveness annoyed me 😅. I’ll try again in a few years
My disappointed reads this year were: "The Impossible Julien Strand" series by Kathryn Ann Kingsley. Ugh. Ridiculous and annoying. Happy Holidays to you and yours! Cheers!
i enjoyed nothing but blackened teeth more than most people (it was just okay for me) but i'm still here for the roasting😂
I just got a book in the mail I think you might want to try it called paradise by Lizzie Johnson it was released in August I think
I also hated Nothing But Blackened Teeth. Dialogue and characters were cringy, it was rittled with confusing and pompous metaphors, and wasn't scary in the slightest. I DNFed it at page 75 so I didn't even get to the "good part". I was so disappointed because just like you I bought it for $20 which I was super reluctant to do with a book I love for that short of a book but it looked and sounded so amazing. What a crock! I am sad The Haunting of Brynne Wilder is bad. It has been sitting on my Kindle for awhile. I will probably still read it since I own it and at least now I can go into it with the right expectations.
I read once that there is no such thing as a bad book. The book just wasn't your jam but it might be for someone else.
Some of my worst books are The Dead and the Dark, This Close to Okay, Pretty Girls, This is Where It Ends, and For Your Own Good 😭
How about Come With Me?
That book was just so forgettable tbh 😅 it didn’t make me angry enough to put it on this list 🤣
I loathed "the one", by Marrs. I know that you liked it and I watched youtubers that also loved it but to me it was less than a 1 star.
Harpin Bridge has to be one of the worst. I went in with high hopes and I still couldn’t really tell u what happened in that book. What was real what was just what she thought happened and that endings with kid?! How how?!! It’s been weeks if not months no idea how is it alive?! No I don’t believe it
My worst books of the year were: Hairpin bridge, Survive the night and one by one. They were 1* reads for me!
The Wrong Family is also one of the worst books I read this year 😓
Can't wait for the BEST OF 2021!!!!!!!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
My worst book of 2021 was The Guest List. It was so bad that I dnf it 125 pages in.
Omg it's 22:22 long. Somehow so satisfying!
While I liked Nothing but Blackened Teeth it felt like the author fell into that trap of making all of the characters irrationally argumentative and aggressive for the sake of creating drama. They were constantly at each others throats for no reason whatsoever. It made the friend group seem impossible because no one would set up a wedding like that knowing that none of them could be in the same room for more than three minutes without a fight.
I didn’t understand the ending of the haunting of brynn wilder ! I loved the haunting of brynn wilder but I gave it 4/5 stars due to the ending! I was lost

The ending of The Wrong Family was beyond ridiculous
I think I straight up forgot that we read that awful book 🤣 it was such waste! bashing it nonstop was definitely the only thing I can recall 😂😂
Stolen tongues was my fave horror of the year also the most scary
1. The Wrong Family
2. The Minders
3. Every Vow You Break
4. Siri, who am I
This year was not a good reading year for me...I hated most of them:(

I'm in the minority because I actually enjoyed The Minders. HOWEVER, the live with Katie and ya'll roasting it was one of my favorite lives this year.
I liked it too.
Nothing But Blackened Teeth was the worst book I read this year. The writing was so overwrought and pretentious.
I love these worst books videos, I just wish every youtuber didn’t have to add a disclaimer at the beginning. If someone gets mad that you didn’t like a book they enjoyed, that’s a them problem, not a you problem

I know I am in the minority when I say I hated Love Hypothesis .
Ugh yes, I hated may the best man win 😩☹️
Nothing But Blackened Teeth was such a bad book but a big reason it disappointed me was because I felt like it was such a massive disservice to Japanese folklore. The author is Asian but isn't Japanese and I really felt like the setting was only chosen to take advantage of so much folklore with no explanation (particularly the references to Japanese culture and terms). I'm not own voices but I just felt like it wasn't fair for the author to use another culture as plot devices in such a cheap way.
Ties that tether by Jane igharo. Nope. Made me so angry.
I didn't read Nothing But Blackened Teeth but what a WASTE of an amazing cover...
Comparing yourself to a classic like the shining but just basically ripping off key points from someone else's book....yikes
I hated The Haunting of Brynn Wilder. It was such a disappointment.
My worst book of the year was This Is Not A Ghost Story.
The worse book I read this year was In Five years and i despise the main character Dannie
Is it bad that I want to read the wrong family just to see how bad it is 🤣🤣🤣
Yes I anticipated nothing but blackened teeth it was so stupid I fell asleep during the audio book 😒I hated that book and I thought it was suppose to be scary the cover is amazing the story wasn’t

Brynn Wilder was SO BORING. I became a Wendy Webb fan after Temperance Dare and her last few books have gotten worse and worse. Unless I hear really fantastic things about the next one, I am off the WW train. Metsan Valo was such a hot mess. I had to DNF Samantha Irby's We Are Never Meeting in Real Life. I picked that one for our book club (yay me) because we wanted something light-hearted and funny. This book is anything but that. I don't think anyone in book club finished it. There are some really dark, dark things that happen in that book that had I known about it, I would not have read it. I certainly would not have suggested it. The cover is all cutesy and the blurbs say things about how hilarious it is and that is just a straight up lie.
