Great post Gabby. I'm so glad that you're working through your angst (about your sister's health). I hope that Rachel is feeling better! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
All this video needed was the Mortal Kombat music playing in the background and someone yelling ❗️FATALITY❗️ whenever you finish obliterating the book. Still epic tho!😂
Great video and all the books you hated/found boring and I think you convinced me to finally read "The Shinning". Not a big King fan and I've seen the film but I think winter is a good go for this King book.
I’m finally reading Evelyn Hugo and I am loving it. So hopefully it gives you some hope that someone is enjoying their read even tho you had so many bad ones lol
I just like your videos in general no matter what they are. Im like the only person in my family that reads so it’s nice having books to relate to through your videos. And a video like this doesn’t discourage reading these books bc I read the Last mrs Parrish after you said you didn’t like the ending of how the husband is and I love that book I couldn’t put it down.
I think you are right on the money with One by One. I love Ruth Ware but this book was so boring. It was obvious who the evil person was from the very beginning. The business stuff didn't bother me but her endless descriptions of nothing....five pages about a certain ski route. I was yelling at the book "we got it, there's snow". The end, so disappointing. Just a big old NO.
I very much agree with you about Stephen King - the real horror in some of his novels is the male gaze. I had auto bought One By One so I will probably still read it, luckily I won’t be going into it with very high expectations. I also work in Investments so maybe I will be more interested in that side of the story than the average person - 🤞
Another problem with Mr. Mercedes is that the author lets us know at the beginning who the villain is, so the entire book is watching the detective try to catch up to what readers already know!!
I think you made interesting points about the unwitting impact marketing can have on a book or an author. When there is such a huge difference for the reader between the actual story and how it represented, there is bound to be strong reactions.
One by One could be interesting if one of the company employees that suppose to be dead is not actually dead or one of the chalet employees is the culprit. I tried to guess the most complicated plots during reading it because I was like “Nahhh, it will be to easy if that person is the culprit.” THAT PERSON IS THE CULPRIT!!!!! I hate this book.
One by one was a dnf. Thinking turn of the key was just a flare because it’s the only one by her I really enjoyed. So disappointing lol. Also credence...🤬🤢
THANK YOU! I also DNF'd Credence. I was so confused by Chandler's vlog where she read this because when she talked about that first garage scene and she said Caleb stopped when she told him to stop but NO HE DIDN'T. He only stopped because Noah pulled him off of Tiernan. Also her relationship with her uncle was disgusting. One minute he tells her she needs a parental figure more than a sexual partner and then the next she's losing her virginity to him? Nope, couldn't do it. It's sad how some people let shit slide in romance novels that they would never tolerate in real life.
I've tried to read Stephen King quite a lot in the past and I can NOT with how he writes and sexualizes every single woman, no matter how old. I just can NOT with his books. That's one of those things I can't see past to see any merit with his books at all. ANY of his books. Just a deal breaker for me. So I feel vindicated to see him on this list 😆
Maybe I would like one by one since I REALLY did not like turn of the key. I feel like the whole “nanny” trope is so over done. And not even in just thrillers. Idk I found it boring. I only got like 70% through before I couldn’t anymore. But I’m glad you liked it. :)
hi! this is probably a long shot that you’ll answer this, but I’m pretty sure you talked about a nonfiction book before that had to do with a man who worked on famous true crime cases like OJ and Jon Benet. I can’t remember what it is, can you please tell me the name if you know?? Btw I love your channel and IG so much, I trust your book recommendations more than anyone!!❤️
Did you watch the movie version of "Doctor Sleep?" I was not a fan of the book but LOVED the movie. The writer/director makes it a sequel to Kubrick's "Shining" and an adaption of the the Doctor Sleep book. Brilliant!
I did!! And sadly I really didn’t like the movie either 😭😭😫 I think it was the lead actor in the movie, I found him to be so boring and I wasn’t a huge fan of his acting in the movie, I thought it was all pretty cheesy
I'm so glad you said that King is problematic! I honestly think that a lot about his books, and at first I thought it was because I was reading books from the eighties, but even in The Institute I just found his depiction of the local cop right at the start to be so off-putting that I had to stop reading. Every time I mention this though, other readers are always like "no, no, he's not problematic, he's not racist, that's just how he writes" or whatever and they brush it off. I thought maybe it was just me who felt that way.
we are the SAME one by one and never have i ever were awful imo Been thinking about you Gabby, I hope Rachel is felling better and that you have a happy holiday season with your family :)

Hahahah I literally wrote yesterday that I’m so excited for The Book Troop because we have similar tastes in thrillers but I enjoyed your first three mentions here 😂 although I totally get why someone wouldn’t enjoy them. Going in to One by One with extremely low expectations due to hearing awful reviews for it really helped! I DNF’d three books this year - trying to DNF more but I don’t like it. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin - just think I’m too old to like this one now, total shame. Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes - liked The Inheritance Games but this one was so boring, I just didn’t care. And The Last Final Girl by Stephen Graham Jones - so sad but I hated the format of this book so much I couldn’t get past the first forty pages!
You Are Not Alone was my most disappointed book. I think I am giving up on those authors. Guess I won't be picking up Bent Heavens. I almost did but knowing how the author is I am not interested. I hope your sister is doing better.
The Other Woman sounds basically just like a family drama rather than a thriller! I've never read a mother in law kind of book and I don't think I ever could, I have enough issues dealing with my soon to be mother in law that I don't want to read about it LOL! Hahahahah I actually liked Bent Heavens 😂🤦♀️ I don't know what that says about me LOL
My worst books of the year was definately twice in a blue moon by Christina lauren and 25 days till christmas by poppy alexander I DNFEd because it just made me so incredibly angry which is very very rare for a book to do
This is the first video I ever seen by you. Props on the "Stranger Things" sounding theme song. Always a win for me. Also, damn, you read some really bad books this year. I also share your problem with Stephen King's constant jokey and suggestive descriptions. I find he writes everything like that, and it can get super awkward, more so considering how many of his books are coming of age tales with young characters.
Crap! I've got "One By One" on my TBR shelf. Yes, I'll still probably read it, but I'll have your voice in my head while I do! Oh, and I like the new into graphics!
I read Sawkill Girls this year and the atmosphere was great but i hated the main character and her love interest so much especially with the circumstances that surrounded them... It was something unforgivable for me so it was pretty annoying. Definitely the worst book i read this year
I couldn’t make it through The Starless Sea. I am pissed that I read all the way through Leave The World Behind. And I really didn’t care for The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. All of these seem to be hits with everyone else though, so I think that they just maybe weren’t for me. Some of my faves weren’t exactly highly rated either, so I guess some things are just a matter of taste.
Two spring to mind. One was self-pubbed, and I try to cut those some slack, but this was just awful. It was like a completely unedited NaNoWriMo brain dump. Which is a perfectly valid approach to a first draft, but you don't slap an ISBN on it and toss it into the market. The other one was The Stars Are Legion by Kameron Hurley. I know a lot of people who think it's wonderful, but I absolutely hated this book. If it hadn't been required reading for the Sirens challenge, I would have DNFed it. I still wish I had. I'd survived Monstress and thought I could handle the body horror, but this was some next-level stuff. And the plot...I still have zero idea what actually happened. I never even figured out who the characters were. I guess it's "edgy"?
I'm not sure Doctor Sleep is one of my worst this year but it didn't live up to the expectations I had and it felt like The Shining would have been better off without a sequel. The last few pages did redeem some of what I disliked about it. I do think Gerald's Game may be the worst Stephen King book I read this year though if I had to pick one out of the 3 I read this year by him. If I were doing a worst books video I'd probably have to put Gerald's Game by Stephen King, The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel, Gallows Hill by Lois Duncan, She Died Famous by Kyle Rutkin and Dirty Letters by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland on it
Omg I freakin love this video!!!!!❤ Glad to know the worst books you've read this year. I am shocked with Stephen King's book "Doctor Sleep" tho because I have high expectation for this one 😂😂😂
The worst books of the year for me are 1)You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero 2) The Lost Girls Of Paris by Pam Jenoff 3)The Exact Nature Of Our Wrongs by Janet Peery And by far the biggest disappointment The Binding by Bridgett Collins
I read Night Film by Marisha Pessl and absolutely hated it, a 1 star I actually regret picking up even though I was so hyped because loads of booktubers loved it
Ruth Ware is so hit or miss for me. I’m no longer going to purchase hard covers of hers without getting reviews first- especially yours. Going to read one by one since I have it tho.
On the theme of the mother in law trope, one of my worst books this year was The Daughter In Law by Nina Manning - so fucking boring, predictable, and full of plot holes, and with awful characters.
The worse book I read this year was Riley Sager, The last time I lied. It was the first book by this author I read and I heard so much hype that I was expecting it to be good. I found a handful of things that didn’t make sense and realized that it was almost 2 weeks ago I started reading it and I wasn’t enjoying any of it. I put it to the side about 65% through.
The most disappointing books I read this year are One by One (couldn't finish, hated it for the same reasons you did), The Starless Sea (couldn't finish, the writing and idea are beautiful, but the characters sit for at least 200 pages and do NOTHING and the constant switching of stories in every other chapter was too jarring for me), You Are Not Alone (I still don't get why the women needed to mess with the main character because she was too stupid to notice the things they thought she did), and The Last, although that was just faulty marketing on their part because the book was fine (it's pitched as The Shining meets And Then There Were None but only one person dies in the book and it's before the book even starts. It's The Road but less bleak, it's not a murder mystery at all).
I felt the same about Mr. Mercedes, gave up at not even close to finishing. I had only read a few of King's older classic hits when I recently read 11.22.63 and loved it, it was refreshingly different from classic King that I looked up more of his relatively recent works, came upon the Bill Hodges Trilogy and gave Mr. Mercedes a try, especially for the Holly Gibney character from The outsider TV series. I regretted picking up Mr. M very quickly and ditched the book. Even from the limited amount of King I have read, I find the 'male perspective' sexualization of women in many/most of his books disturbing. That could be one of many reasons why Pet Cemetery and 11.22.63 are my only 2 favs by King, as both of those don't have that kind of characters or portrayal at all. And doctor sleep, I have only heard negatives about it.
Survivor song was so boring! I had it on audio and it even took me forever to finish it that way. The beginning was promising, but it was downhill from there.
I don’t think it’s ever too critical to have your own response to a book. Sometimes it’s the timing. When you tried to read it may affect how into it. Also, some of King’s books are ahead of his time in spots and then with the times he wrote it in other things. So for instance, The Stand is amazingly ahead when discussing pandemics but the dated in racial or religious comments. So I do think looking at when something was written and target audience is helpful in that case. I was the same way with You. I have the unpopular opinion of hating the book but realized it is because I generally don’t like the stalker book from that perspective. Good reviews!
I have only been able to finish one King book and it was a serial novel at the time. It was The Green Mile. I usually give up about a third of the way through when I am totally creeped out and bored at the same time. He is not for me.
not really sure I get why it's important to highlight reads other than the well-liked ones - well, perhaps we've already seen positive reviews of them? idk
The only book I read here is Doctor Sleep and I enjoyed it! I also want to read Mr Mercedes just because I want to read every King book, but your description is not making me want to read it at the same time cause I hate when a character talks about women like that, it's so annoying. And I'm intrigued about Never Have I Ever! Some of the worst books I read this year (but I know you and many others love them) are The One by John Marrs and The Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix.
Great video. I haven't read any of the books on the list. Or have them on the tbr. So, yay me! 😆 There is only one book I hated this year. That's Layla by Colleen Hoover. It was even worse than Verity and I didn't think that would be possible. In know. I know. Unpopular opinion. But, it was so bland in its prose and lacked any sort of suspense. I guessed the twist at chapter 4. There is zero character development and the way it attempts at redeeming an abuser is gross. The only positives are that it was easy to get through because the story is void of any depth (just over 2 hours) and I got it via KU during a free trial period. I think I am officially done with this author. 🤷🏻♀️
I didn't end up hating One by One, but I ranked it as one of my most over-hyped/ disappointing read of 2020, and totally agree on that ridiculous last act! The worst read of 2020 for me is My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing-unpopular opinion but there are just way too many plot holes in the name of thrills for me.
I hated My Lovely Wife SO much. Not even because of the plot holes (though they definitely sucked) but because of the way it tries to make you sympathise with the godawful main characters.
Okay, is it weird that I find The Shining so boring? I mean, it wasn't scary at all and the only two times I wasn't bored out of my mind by it, was the first time Danny went to the room 217 and the time when he first talked to Dick. Other than these, I think the rest of it was waste of time, with all due respect though
There were a few creepy scenes that he did really effectively, I thought, but the rest of it really didn't do much for me. It felt very '70s, and I hated the '70s the first time around. I don't want reminders.
Another disclaimer since this happens everytime...
AUTHORS, DO NOT WATCH THIS! THIS VIDEO IS NOT MEANT FOR YOU.
they watch these 💀 setting themselves upppp
Im glad i found this channel.
Great post Gabby. I'm so glad that you're working through your angst (about your sister's health). I hope that Rachel is feeling better! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
That animation of you in the intro is so cute wow!!
All this video needed was the Mortal Kombat music playing in the background and someone yelling ❗️FATALITY❗️ whenever you finish obliterating the book. Still epic tho!😂
Hahah so true
Great video and all the books you hated/found boring and I think you convinced me to finally read "The Shinning". Not a big King fan and I've seen the film but I think winter is a good go for this King book.
I wish I could read as many books as you read.. 150! Is insane
IKR
I’m living for your rants and sarcasm in this video. 😂
I love the intro and choker! I have never read any of the books on this list, but great video
I love the energy in this video! I love to hear abt your opinions!
I’m finally reading Evelyn Hugo and I am loving it. So hopefully it gives you some hope that someone is enjoying their read even tho you had so many bad ones lol
"this is water but you got the point" 😂
I just like your videos in general no matter what they are. Im like the only person in my family that reads so it’s nice having books to relate to through your videos. And a video like this doesn’t discourage reading these books bc I read the Last mrs Parrish after you said you didn’t like the ending of how the husband is and I love that book I couldn’t put it down.
I think you are right on the money with One by One. I love Ruth Ware but this book was so boring. It was obvious who the evil person was from the very beginning. The business stuff didn't bother me but her endless descriptions of nothing....five pages about a certain ski route. I was yelling at the book "we got it, there's snow". The end, so disappointing. Just a big old NO.
Your mum being on goodreads is excellent and just what the world needs right now. Hope Rachel is on the mend xx
A year later and this rant is still amazing and relevant! Thx !
Love the new intro ❤️
Watching you rant about Bent Heavens REALLY got me heated too because WOMEN CAN BE STRONG WITHOUT A MAN! That’s definitely going to be a NO from me
Ruth Ware is overated.
omg agreed! I get so mad about this in books too and I'm glad to hear when it makes other people also mad
Eyyy! The new intro is sooo cute!!! 😍😍😍
I just finished One By One yesterday. I agree with you completely. It was super predictable and underwhelming.
I very much agree with you about Stephen King - the real horror in some of his novels is the male gaze. I had auto bought One By One so I will probably still read it, luckily I won’t be going into it with very high expectations. I also work in Investments so maybe I will be more interested in that side of the story than the average person - 🤞
I agree, and he strikes me as a bit racist too.
@@tokiobabe99 I can never tell if he is making his characters sexist and racist of it it’s him.
I love all of your end of the year-books! Can't wait to see your favorites of this year🙈🔜
Another problem with Mr. Mercedes is that the author lets us know at the beginning who the villain is, so the entire book is watching the detective try to catch up to what readers already know!!
So true 🙄
I knew it was a truly long year when you mentioned Doctor Sleep. I could have sworn you read that in 2019 😂
I think you made interesting points about the unwitting impact marketing can have on a book or an author. When there is such a huge difference for the reader between the actual story and how it represented, there is bound to be strong reactions.
You're so honest I love it. Sometimes you just gotta hate a book with a burning passion, you know?
I'm there with ya on one by one and survivor song. I haven't read the others.
Lol I loved The Other Woman..... I bear you no ill will friend 🤣🤣 your lip shade is gorge btw
One by One could be interesting if one of the company employees that suppose to be dead is not actually dead or one of the chalet employees is the culprit.
I tried to guess the most complicated plots during reading it because I was like “Nahhh, it will be to easy if that person is the culprit.” THAT PERSON IS THE CULPRIT!!!!!
I hate this book.
This channel is like a second home to me. ❤️

I love Stephen King’s books, especially his mid 80s - early 90s books.
@@coolcatmemes1204 I know lots of people do. But the way he writes about women is a deal breaker for me. Can't stand him.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't get through a Stephen King book. I've only read two of his books and I've DNF'd like 3 of them.
every time you talk about “Eleanor Queen” I DIEEEE 💀💀🤣🤣
Maybe I would like one by one since I REALLY did not like turn of the key. I feel like the whole “nanny” trope is so over done. And not even in just thrillers. Idk I found it boring. I only got like 70% through before I couldn’t anymore. But I’m glad you liked it. :)

I love when you spill the tea🤣👏🏼
like you, this was my stephen king year. i read "the shining" and i was so attached to danny. then i read "dr.sleep" and i was like oh...ok...
I 100% agree with Survivor Song. I also bought it full price. $30! Biggest regret of the year.
You were fired up for this video, love it! LOL Glad I didn't read any of these books!
I agree with the other women. I listened to it and was a waste of time.
I'm so glad you said that King is problematic! I honestly think that a lot about his books, and at first I thought it was because I was reading books from the eighties, but even in The Institute I just found his depiction of the local cop right at the start to be so off-putting that I had to stop reading.

Hahahah I literally wrote yesterday that I’m so excited for The Book Troop because we have similar tastes in thrillers but I enjoyed your first three mentions here 😂 although I totally get why someone wouldn’t enjoy them. Going in to One by One with extremely low expectations due to hearing awful reviews for it really helped! I DNF’d three books this year - trying to DNF more but I don’t like it. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin - just think I’m too old to like this one now, total shame. Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes - liked The Inheritance Games but this one was so boring, I just didn’t care. And The Last Final Girl by Stephen Graham Jones - so sad but I hated the format of this book so much I couldn’t get past the first forty pages!
the inheritance game was so good! (in my opinion obvs)😁
I totally agree with you about “The other woman”! It feels like there was another way to do this.
You Are Not Alone was my most disappointed book. I think I am giving up on those authors. Guess I won't be picking up Bent Heavens. I almost did but knowing how the author is I am not interested. I hope your sister is doing better.
I hated The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson. It had potential and then the ending was just terrible.
I hated it too!
The Other Woman sounds basically just like a family drama rather than a thriller! I've never read a mother in law kind of book and I don't think I ever could, I have enough issues dealing with my soon to be mother in law that I don't want to read about it LOL! Hahahahah I actually liked Bent Heavens 😂🤦♀️ I don't know what that says about me LOL
11:56 exactly !!
My worst books of the year was definately twice in a blue moon by Christina lauren and 25 days till christmas by poppy alexander I DNFEd because it just made me so incredibly angry which is very very rare for a book to do
This is the first video I ever seen by you. Props on the "Stranger Things" sounding theme song. Always a win for me. Also, damn, you read some really bad books this year. I also share your problem with Stephen King's constant jokey and suggestive descriptions. I find he writes everything like that, and it can get super awkward, more so considering how many of his books are coming of age tales with young characters.
Crap! I've got "One By One" on my TBR shelf. Yes, I'll still probably read it, but I'll have your voice in my head while I do! Oh, and I like the new into graphics!
It wasn’t in the worse books of the year for me. I thought it was alright. Just average 🤷🏻♀️
I really liked it.
I read Sawkill Girls this year and the atmosphere was great but i hated the main character and her love interest so much especially with the circumstances that surrounded them... It was something unforgivable for me so it was pretty annoying. Definitely the worst book i read this year
THE INTRO 😍😍😍😍😍
I couldn’t make it through The Starless Sea. I am pissed that I read all the way through Leave The World Behind. And I really didn’t care for The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. All of these seem to be hits with everyone else though, so I think that they just maybe weren’t for me. Some of my faves weren’t exactly highly rated either, so I guess some things are just a matter of taste.
The salt in this video can flavour a whole meal
Two spring to mind. One was self-pubbed, and I try to cut those some slack, but this was just awful. It was like a completely unedited NaNoWriMo brain dump. Which is a perfectly valid approach to a first draft, but you don't slap an ISBN on it and toss it into the market.
The other one was The Stars Are Legion by Kameron Hurley. I know a lot of people who think it's wonderful, but I absolutely hated this book. If it hadn't been required reading for the Sirens challenge, I would have DNFed it. I still wish I had. I'd survived Monstress and thought I could handle the body horror, but this was some next-level stuff. And the plot...I still have zero idea what actually happened. I never even figured out who the characters were. I guess it's "edgy"?
I'm not sure Doctor Sleep is one of my worst this year but it didn't live up to the expectations I had and it felt like The Shining would have been better off without a sequel. The last few pages did redeem some of what I disliked about it. I do think Gerald's Game may be the worst Stephen King book I read this year though if I had to pick one out of the 3 I read this year by him. If I were doing a worst books video I'd probably have to put Gerald's Game by Stephen King, The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel, Gallows Hill by Lois Duncan, She Died Famous by Kyle Rutkin and Dirty Letters by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland on it
Omg I freakin love this video!!!!!❤ Glad to know the worst books you've read this year. I am shocked with Stephen King's book "Doctor Sleep" tho because I have high expectation for this one 😂😂😂
Gabby, have you read any of Tana French's books? Since you like mystery thrillers, I think you'd really enjoy her books!
I read The Wych Elm by her last year and absolutely loved it! Gabby I think you would like it too 😍
No I haven’t!! I haven’t been interested in many of hers because don’t they all mostly follow from a detective POV? That’s usually not my thing 😬
You mentioned that you “unhauled” Survivor Song, how do you unhaul? Do you sell your books somewhere or do you donate them?
Mostly donate them or pass them along to friends 😌
I always love watching these usually I have at least 5 that I love lmao. Buttt this year only 1 I loved!
Oh no!! I was going to read “Wonderland” and now I don’t want to lol
The worst books of the year for me are
1)You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero
2) The Lost Girls Of Paris by Pam Jenoff
3)The Exact Nature Of Our Wrongs by Janet Peery
And by far the biggest disappointment The Binding by Bridgett Collins
Hahaha LOVE THIS!!! And I havent read any of the books mentioned cause i was never interested. D:
Best book reviewer on you tube no question!
I read Night Film by Marisha Pessl and absolutely hated it, a 1 star I actually regret picking up even though I was so hyped because loads of booktubers loved it
Omg I hated the other woman too!!! One of my worst read this year by far
Ruth Ware is so hit or miss for me. I’m no longer going to purchase hard covers of hers without getting reviews first- especially yours. Going to read one by one since I have it tho.
But then again I loved never have I ever. Like one of my faves of all time 😂
On the theme of the mother in law trope, one of my worst books this year was The Daughter In Law by Nina Manning - so fucking boring, predictable, and full of plot holes, and with awful characters.
Glad I only read one of these. Which was One by One. I didn't hate it as much as you did but it wasn't great!
The worse book I read this year was Riley Sager, The last time I lied. It was the first book by this author I read and I heard so much hype that I was expecting it to be good. I found a handful of things that didn’t make sense and realized that it was almost 2 weeks ago I started reading it and I wasn’t enjoying any of it. I put it to the side about 65% through.
I loved One by One, but I am a CPA. I guess the business parts were ok for me. My worst were You Are Not Alone and Djibouti by Elmore Leonard.
Ooooof I have one by one but haven’t picked it up 😅
The most disappointing books I read this year are One by One (couldn't finish, hated it for the same reasons you did), The Starless Sea (couldn't finish, the writing and idea are beautiful, but the characters sit for at least 200 pages and do NOTHING and the constant switching of stories in every other chapter was too jarring for me), You Are Not Alone (I still don't get why the women needed to mess with the main character because she was too stupid to notice the things they thought she did), and The Last, although that was just faulty marketing on their part because the book was fine (it's pitched as The Shining meets And Then There Were None but only one person dies in the book and it's before the book even starts. It's The Road but less bleak, it's not a murder mystery at all).
I felt the same about Mr. Mercedes, gave up at not even close to finishing. I had only read a few of King's older classic hits when I recently read 11.22.63 and loved it, it was refreshingly different from classic King that I looked up more of his relatively recent works, came upon the Bill Hodges Trilogy and gave Mr. Mercedes a try, especially for the Holly Gibney character from The outsider TV series. I regretted picking up Mr. M very quickly and ditched the book. Even from the limited amount of King I have read, I find the 'male perspective' sexualization of women in many/most of his books disturbing. That could be one of many reasons why Pet Cemetery and 11.22.63 are my only 2 favs by King, as both of those don't have that kind of characters or portrayal at all. And doctor sleep, I have only heard negatives about it.
Survivor song was so boring! I had it on audio and it even took me forever to finish it that way. The beginning was promising, but it was downhill from there.
I'm going to read one by one. So many people hate it or love it. I guess I'll have to check it out
Solid thoughts
Totally agree
I’ve heard similar things about Never Have I Ever
One By One was awful, the only good thing about it was the cover. Nailed it with all the stock and business nonsense 🙄
I don’t think it’s ever too critical to have your own response to a book. Sometimes it’s the timing. When you tried to read it may affect how into it. Also, some of King’s books are ahead of his time in spots and then with the times he wrote it in other things. So for instance, The Stand is amazingly ahead when discussing pandemics but the dated in racial or religious comments. So I do think looking at when something was written and target audience is helpful in that case. I was the same way with You. I have the unpopular opinion of hating the book but realized it is because I generally don’t like the stalker book from that perspective. Good reviews!
I have only been able to finish one King book and it was a serial novel at the time. It was The Green Mile. I usually give up about a third of the way through when I am totally creeped out and bored at the same time. He is not for me.
not really sure I get why it's important to highlight reads other than the well-liked ones - well, perhaps we've already seen positive reviews of them? idk
The only book I read here is Doctor Sleep and I enjoyed it! I also want to read Mr Mercedes just because I want to read every King book, but your description is not making me want to read it at the same time cause I hate when a character talks about women like that, it's so annoying. And I'm intrigued about Never Have I Ever! Some of the worst books I read this year (but I know you and many others love them) are The One by John Marrs and The Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix.
Great video. I haven't read any of the books on the list. Or have them on the tbr. So, yay me! 😆 There is only one book I hated this year. That's Layla by Colleen Hoover. It was even worse than Verity and I didn't think that would be possible. In know. I know. Unpopular opinion. But, it was so bland in its prose and lacked any sort of suspense. I guessed the twist at chapter 4. There is zero character development and the way it attempts at redeeming an abuser is gross. The only positives are that it was easy to get through because the story is void of any depth (just over 2 hours) and I got it via KU during a free trial period. I think I am officially done with this author. 🤷🏻♀️
That intro 😍
Leave the world behind - Rumaan Alan
I DNFd more books this year than any other time in my life.
I didn't end up hating One by One, but I ranked it as one of my most over-hyped/ disappointing read of 2020, and totally agree on that ridiculous last act!
The worst read of 2020 for me is My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing-unpopular opinion but there are just way too many plot holes in the name of thrills for me.
I couldn’t even finish My lovely wife or One by One👎🏼
I hated My Lovely Wife SO much. Not even because of the plot holes (though they definitely sucked) but because of the way it tries to make you sympathise with the godawful main characters.
I didn't like Mr. Mercedes either!! I couldn't get through it!! Didn't care for the story since why I DNF it. 🤷🏼♀️
12:00..yes I also disliked khaleb character and I wanted her to be with Noah instead of him
Doctor sleep 🤣🤣🤣 I totally agree
Finally someone who addresses credence! It was awful and disgusting
Okay, is it weird that I find The Shining so boring? I mean, it wasn't scary at all and the only two times I wasn't bored out of my mind by it, was the first time Danny went to the room 217 and the time when he first talked to Dick. Other than these, I think the rest of it was waste of time, with all due respect though
There were a few creepy scenes that he did really effectively, I thought, but the rest of it really didn't do much for me. It felt very '70s, and I hated the '70s the first time around. I don't want reminders.
