Yes! I love to hate those books XD They're so annoying and yet addicting at the same time.

‘Other girls are freaking awesome’ - Emily I love you!!!!

The reason people say that ACOTAR is a beauty and the beast retelling is because that's what Sarah J Maas was saying when it was being published. I can see the elements she pulled from Beauty and the Beast, but she honestly didn't do that great of a job. She should not have claimed it was a retelling because I agree with you, it's not. Also, I hate Tamlin, and I continued to hate Tamlin throughout the series. Great Video!

The reason I will never read Attachments is because of the stalker element. Like everyone on booktube is "so feminist" where they want to erase the damsel in distress trope (which is my brand of trash, I am completely trash for the damsel in distress so when people try to get rid of it it pisses me off, I'm not trying to get rid of your favourite bad trope) yet everyone loves a love story about a literal stalker? It makes no sense to me. Also, I HATE the plain girl trope. To dress up for an important event or date she does one coat of mascara and puts on some lipgloss and it completely transforms her because she's wearing so much makeup. Give me an MC that wears a smoky eye on the daily, for fuck sakes.

A great stalker novel is You by Caroline Kepnes. The female that is being stalked is in no way a damsel in distress and in many ways so unloveable and horrible it's interesting. It's definitely refreshing.

I'll edit my comment since the other person deleted hers. I think the problem is that a lot of publishing companies are pushing YA books to be reviewed :/ We see them everywhere and everyone seems excited so we get them and then... most of them aren't that great! That's all I've been offered as ARCs so far and 99% of them I wasn't interested!

BookswithEmilyFox 100% agree. I don't even hate all YA books (I just say I do for comic effect). The truth is they're the popular thing so everyone gets all hyped up about them, it doesn't bother me that people really do enjoy YA books. It's just fun to see some 'controverisal' videos and I think you'd make a great video on the topic :)

I also heard from a Booktuber that they get fewer views if they don't limit themselves to good reviews of YA. Is that a pressure point for you?

@BookswithEmilyFox

6 жыл бұрын

I haven't been giving them good reviews as a whole so far (some were great and are in my best of coming Friday!) and I think my views are doing just fine! I get that their main audience is younger but it's a two-edged sword. The more positive reviews you do about YA books, the more you'll attract younger viewers and the more younger viewers you have, the more positive reviews they'll expect. My audience is like 80% 18-34... I think no one expects me to be positive if I'm not which is great! Also this channel is a second channel so I don't have too much pressure for its growth :)

I remember when people were talking about how Dimple is always hitting Rishi and defending her by saying, “Oh, she’s just a teenage girl!” If it was the other way around NO ONE would be saying, “Oh, he’s just a teenage boy!” They would (rightfully so) be freaking the hell out!

I started the year off by reading Paper Towns for school....oooooOOOO don't even get me started about that book. I donated it somewhere immediately, then watched the movie to see if it was better. NOPE..no it wasn't.

I am so glad I found you because it is honestly so hard to find booktubers who don´t like Sarah J Maas or are generally open about not liking some super beloved author/book series

Thank you so much for your honest reviews! I love that your shared these unpopular opinions. It is so important to share some of these.

When Dimple Met Rishi made my list this year too. It was just... so bad.

It didn't make mine but I thought it was okay at best. Even if I had wanted to read it for the romance, which I didn't so there's that, I thought it hit every possible cliché of the genre and was way too predictable. And the ending pissed me off. Overall: not too bad, but definitely not worth the hype.

I cackled up so much during your rants, especially the one on mara dyer 😂 great video as always!

I honestly just came across your channel but that burning tea had me susbcribing

I love how honest you are! I would love to hear your opinions on more things, like movies and tv shows 😅😅

I am so glad I found your channel (few minutes ago xD). Your book taste is 👌. Humor too.

I really love your eye expression movements when you ranted about Attachments 😂

Emily, I LOVE you!!!! Having you on book tube is a real blessing = D

you should definitly do a video about why you hate most YA books, I adored your rants!! especially the When Dimple met Rishi one, I waited for so long for someone to not like it's ridiculous lol

OMG the selection made my list too! Love your videos I wanted to read shatter me and the Mara trilogy but not anymore thanks!

I laughed so much at your review of attachments!! I pretty much share your opinion on that one!

You got very passionate at some points and it made me laugh 😂 I get the same way about books I hate if someone even mentions the title I immediately want to rant about how much I hated it.

Recent subscriber to your channel and watched all your X of 2017 in a row. Love your unfiltered opinions and I'll be checking out your other videos!

I'm 16 and I've read like 50 YA books this year and after 30 I already was done with them, especially with YA contemporary, I have the feeling I'm reading the same book every time. Ofcourse there are exceptions but I'm kinda done with only liking 1 YA book out of the 10 I read.. I love the fact that you actually dislike a lot of YA books too and talk about them, because sometimes it feels like every booktuber only talks about YA and how great it is(like, how can you read 300 YA books and still end up loving them all?!)

I have to agree with the "try to avoid YA contemporary"... it's won't end well. (Maybe only the ones which sound super unique) And maybe try to read some more adult books in 2018. YA just gets boring after a while, since you read recycled books and ideas over and over. I, for example, like to bring variety into my reading schedule by mixing in adult fantasy (high/epic fantasy), classics and poetry.

I really want to screenshot some of your rolling eyes' face and make them into memes. Loved your video. haha.

Just found your channel and subscribed. You're fun! 😊

You dissed two series I actually enjoyed but they're legit reasons and I'm not even mad. You're sooooo entertaining to watch.

Please read City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty! It's an adult fantasy, it's wonderful and I NEED to hear your opinions on it :)

Got a good chuckle from lots of your observations.

YES!! I've found someone else who didn't like Shatter Me lol. I really did not like that book. And all the hype around it made me hate it even more 😅

Wow I didn't finish When Dimple Met Rishi either, totally agree

I haven't read many of these books, but I just really enjoy you ranting about things hahaha

I knew from the first sentence that I was going to love this video, haha. But based on your opinions about The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, you should definitely listen to the song "Most Girls" by Hailee Steinfeld. Great video once again! - Shayna

I didn't really like ACOTAR either but I gave the second book a chance and it COMPLETELY changed my mind about the series. It gets much better and I highly recommend checking it out!

The way you described Shatter me is exactly how i read it! I still haven't finished it yet but honestly i bought it mainly for the cover 😅

How did I just now find your channel, you're speaking TRUTH in this community! And you read/recommend sci-fi, which is so refreshing. 😆

Hi Emily, I realized this year after reading a few horrible YA books that I just don’t enjoy YA for all the reasons you mentioned. There are a few YA books that are an exception but I’ve decided for my reading list this year I’m going to stick with adult books/series. Great vid!

I find so much satisfaction with just how frustrated you are explaining how bad these books are dfjkljf I AM in love, (new subscriber wooo) and also looking gorgeous and slytherin-y Emily! :DDD

first, i love your lipstick. I really love your description for books. normally i hear plot complaints. but you seem to have more structural complaints and it is neat to hear those. I think with stephen king people recommend gunslinger because it is one of his shorter books. most of his other books are over 1000 pages. but it seems like you like stephen king books. I couldn't really get into a court of thorns and roses.

Oh my gosh yes ! LOVE this!

Hey Emily. How are you doing? Thank you so much for this great list I have not read any of those books and now thanks to how well you described what they're about I don't want to read them now. I have actually had some of the same troubles that you have had where I try to read what appears to be a really popular book and I wind up not liking it at all. I am really looking forward to seeing what your favorite books are. Thank you so much for your honest opinion I find it really easy to trust you. Also I wanted to give you my real name it's Julie.

Thank U thank U thank U for doing this video I have been thinking about reading pretty much all of those and I'm glad I watch this video before I went out and bought them!

I love all your recommendations!!! Including ones I shouldn’t waste my time on! Hahaha!

Love this. Please do a things you hate about YA!! I would love to see that. My most hated books this year were Red Queen, The Bone Season, The Thousandth Floor, and The Gentlemen's Guide to Vice and Virtue. All popular YA books I expected to love. So I would love to hear more of your thoughts on YA, since I tend to agree with your taste in books!

I enjoyed some of the books you talked about but your facial expressions made this video amazing! Despite enjoying the books, I love hearing about people's least favorite books.

Creep, creep, creep! 😅 Loved this video, and that bit really made me laugh 😊

I don't get how is it that so many bad books get published yet there are many authors who struggle to even get an agent, let alone a publishing deal. My novel is nowhere near finished but I'm already so anxious about all the rejections I know I'll get. How do these books get published? I. don't. get. it.

"It was just... uuuuuugh" x'D "Creep, creep, creep" Loved the video, made me laugh!

I agree with you on everything except Caraval. I love that book, it was actually different. I'm looking forward to book two.

I will say that when I read the gunslinger I was also luke warm on it until I read the drawing of the three which is unfathomablely better than the first one, to the point that I doubted the fact that these books were written together, and then, I went back and reread the gunslinger and for some reason I now think its brilliance incarnate perhaps its context perhaps I finally got in the right mindset for it.

Aww The Gunslinger is a bad start to the The Dark Tower series though IMO. It gets so much better in the second book, but I can see why a lot of people stop reading it because of the first one. :(

I love this video so, so much. :D

I really didn't have any books this year that I really didn't like, because I had such an awesome booktuber giving me such good recommendations! ;) We usually have the same taste and I loved like everything I read thanks to you! :)

Shatter Me is definitely a series that gets better as you go on. I hated the first book, but loved the last book of the trilogy. It took me like a month just to get through the first book, but only a day for the last one.

I love watching you hate on books, you should have a series about books you disliked because you are so funny to watch! And I see your point, definitely. I did not read any of these books and I don’t feel like doing it as well after this video (my TBR is gonna thank you ^_^ ), and honestly one of the reasons why I’m not into YA books is well explained here (the other one being they’re just not my cup if tea :) ) - and it’s a shame so many YA books still perpetuate unrealistic/generally bad ideas to so many young readers!
