Currently reading "The One". America is the WORST protagonist, but I need to know what dumb thing she is going to say so that I will have another reason to complain about her. The selection series is like a late 90's romantic comedy. The characters play a stereotype, the protagonist is "too pure to be real", the jokes aren't funny but they're funny that they're not funny and the love interest only has eyes for the protagonist. You know they're going to end up together, but you still want to watch anyway because it is such trash. haha!!!
I was so surprised at how much I loved this series because I never read romance kind of stuff. But it has just enough dystopian and conspiracy themes to make it appealling beyond the romance, and that's part of why I think it was so good.
Emma if you ever make a fashion video talking about your style and clothes I would be the first one to view it!! You look so gorgeous in every single video ❤️
@@ella6784 LilyCReads is a booktuber. She had a review on Anna and the French Kiss, but unfortunately she deleted all of her rant reviews because she didn't want her channel to be negative.
Honestly all I want to do after watching this is curl up in bed and read all the trashy YA I can find haha. Definitely the best remedy to cure a book slump! :D
i literally liked this video just because of the "bella, edward and jacob? all absolute idiots!" help i cant stop laughing idek why i just didnt expect you to say that HAHHAHHAHAH
am I the only one who would classify The Mortal Instruments and all the other books as trashy YA? :) love The Infernal Devices and the new series she came out with :) but still a little fluffy and sweet :)
I Love Love Love Vampire Academy and Bloodlines!! Sooo good, Adrian is literally my ❤️. Another trashy YA is the Fallen series, I finished the first book in two days❤
It makes me laugh when someone likes twilight but because many other people dont like it they feel the need to excuse themselves saying stuff like "yeah i dont really like it . Its just enjoyable " Really guys embrace it💓 It's one of my fav series on the same level as TMI or harry potter.. Love your hair emma 😚
I've always sort of felt like The Princess Diaries series was sort of "trashy." I was so obsessed with those books as a teenager and even freaked out when Meg Cabot came out with a new novel for the series featuring adult Mia two years ago. Actually, most of Meg Cabots books (I've read most all of her books and serieses) are sort of trashy and I adore all of them!
idk.. i think i wouldn't consider The Princess Diaries "trashy". I actually learned a lot from the books and still to this day i love the with my heart
Aleena Tanveer, there's characters that are introduced in vampire academy that appear in Bloodlines, and it would spoil the Vampire Academy series if you decided to read it later.Sydney who is the main character in Bloodlines has a huge part in book #4 of vampire academy series. It's my favorite of the first series. I mean The author does write the Bloodlines series in a way to remember what happened in the Vampire academy series with returning characters. I'd say read Vampire Academy series first if you can. 😁😊😁
As soon as I saw the title I thought of The Selection Trilogy and the Lux series. Such good books! I was so addicted them when I read them back in 2014. I love trashy YA. I kinda consider everything Jennifer L Armentrout books as trashy YA. You should pick up the Covenant series by her- it's really like Vampire Academy!
Aideen G I love JLA. she is my favourite author, because I always feel so warm and fuzzy after reading her books and that's how I want to feel when i finish books!!!! also her NA books are really fun too :)
The Vampire Academy was one of the first book series that made me realize I have a thing for trashy YA novels cause I knew it was totally underdeveloped while I read it & even stupid at times but gosh it was addicting hehehe
Personally I wouldn't call them 'trashy' but I agree that they're all fun series! Basically all the books that I started off with when I got into YA. :D No shame. Entertaining, non-heavy in theme, and just..yeah fun. :D I'm not a huge fan of overly serious topics so I guess most of the books I read would be considered 'trashy' then. :/
i use trashy as an affectionate term, not a negative one :) there's a lot of great books out there with non-serious themes, that doesn't mean there's anything "lesser" about them!
KatTheBooknerd I'm in the same boat. I hate those book with very serious themes, because I don't feel like dragging my mood down :) I wanna have fun while reading :)
My favourite trashy YA books are deeefinitely the House of Night books by PC and Kristin Cast. They're just a lovely bit of easy, fun, infuriating YA fluff. There are so many love triangles and squares and octagons I've literally lost count, they're a weird new take on vampires because duh they came out around the same time as Twilight, the main characters are all so simultaneously badass and stupid and you can't help but love them, Aphrodite is my absolute favourite 'bitchy best friend' character from any book ever, the main villain is actually incredible and really well written, the main character has this awesome Grandma that reminded me of my Nana, and there are so many real legends and folk stories woven into it in really cool ways and I just... *sighs contentedly* I love these books. If you're a person who still enjoys Twilight, I can pretty much guarantee that you'll enjoy these too. And the authors are busy writing a new sequel series set 5 years (I think) after the end of the last book and I'm so freaking excited :3
Laura Elizabeth oh man, Aphrodite was fave 😂😂 I think I left off on 'hunted' and never picked up the next ones. I'm looking up the series on Amazon to see if I can the full set of books 😍😍
I'd say TMI is pretty trashy. Sure the story is well-developed and interesting, but the focus is on the romance between Clary and Jace and their stupid decisions. Don't get me wrong, I love TMI, but they're still pretty trashy. Makes me wonder if there's "trashy" stuff targeted at dudes. The stuff you've mentioned on this list has never interested me (though tbh I'm only interested in romance stories if they're gay), and I doubt many guys would consider them. Maybe _Ready Player One_? Haven't read it but I've heard that it like glorifies the male gamer types.
Karkat Vantas I personally loved RPO and I know many guys that liked it, but I've never thought about it that way! and I totally get why you'd say TMI is Trashy XD
I would've said the Pretty Little Liar series by Sara Shapard. No, not the TV show, but the books. The show is so totally different than the books, and I don't like that, so I stopped watching after season 3. I would have to say that anything by Sara Shepard, really, is on my "trashy YA" list, though. She always writes the cliches with a twist. But I don't care, and that's what I come for! xD
Stephanie Perkins newest book is supposed to come out this fall and I'm pretty sure it's a horror/teen slasher book from what I've seen online. Really excited to see something so different from her!
I love the positivity that you have this video! You care about these books so much, and you very obviously love talking about them. You're so unapologetically enthusiastic and genuinely kind to these books that get dragged a lot, and it's so wonderful and refreshing to hear.
Only found this video now, but I love your take on books. I'm so tired of listening to people tear books apart. You love them for what they are and what they're intended to be. I don't understand why people want realism in their books and films so much, reality bites. The purpose of stories is escape, why escape only to read some reality. Loved the video, thanks.
I LOVED "Heartless" I too listened to it on audiobook. It was amazing on audiobook. I just started Cinder because of Heartless. I'm twenty pages in to Cinder and I feel like I'm going to love it equally as much as Heartless.
The book series that saved my life. Hands down the mortal instruments. No other book affected me like that. I was going through a really rough time and alllll I did was read. I was like 13 or 14 and it was thanksgiving and my mom bought me City of bones and I fell in love. I struggle with depression and anxiety so I read so much at this time (I still read a lot ) like I was in 7th grade and my school tested us on how fast we read. And I was reading 3-5 pages a minute (still kinda do) because I get so obsessed with the series. I will never not have love for Cassie Clare. She really saved me. Also the twilight series played a big role in my development as an early teenager. So when I hear ppl say they don't like it I'm shocked because yes it corny and cringey but it's such beautiful work
OMG Heartless is so good. I was absolutely heartbroken throughout the book. The ending really sent me mixed feelings but I LOVED it, I love all of Marissa Meyer’s books!
You know what they all have in common? 1 - Stupid things in name of love. or/and 2 - Love triangles. STOP THE LOVE TRIANGLES. GEEEEEZZ. When I see a book with a huge plot about love triangle I don't pick it anymore. It's SO HARD to read some YA without love triangles that I sometimes give up and let it pass.
The second one is sooo much better, and in my opinion, really well written. I don't think it's trashy at all. I also don't think ACOTAR can be considered trashy YA, either, because of what happens at the end. The begging, though, is a little cliche. Just a bit, though.
it's weird to say but how pale you are is so aesthetically pleasing with the red lipstick,fuck i'm weird but you're so beautiful and i subbed okay i will stop
if you like trashy vampire ya you might like the book “a discovery of witches.” i’m not sure if it’s classified as ya or adult fiction, but it has vampire politics and a dashing vampire/witch love story. it’s a a fair bit more developed than twilight or vampire academy, but you may like it.
I love the Vampire Academy and bloodlines and I agree bloodlines is developed more than VA but I love both. PS Stephanie Perkins new book is supposed to be a YA horror
I love falling kindgoms. Even though the books are so poorly written, characters are so annoying, and everyone dies for no reason, I still love them because they're so fun and addicting. (Also, cleo is awesome).
I get made fun of but I will always love Twilight you can't deny that Stephenie Meyer takes the normal vampire and alien then amps them up into something you have never heard of I love it. Host is another one of my favs.
The "to all the boys I've loved before" series is so so good. I personally didn't feel a need for the third one and it took me a week to get through the 3rd one but the first and second I inhaled. I LOVED THEM. And I feel like they do differ a lot from the movie in terms of how characters feel and act. So def give it a go it's so so freaking nice!
I just finished rereading Breaking Dawn and I was expecting to be disappointed by the end, but it just made me remember how much I loved happy endings when I read Twilight! (also divergent definitely has its trashy moments and I love it in that book too)
Wasn't sure how to class it before but daughter of smoke and bone is my absolute fav trashy ya and if you havnt read it do go check it out. I really love how it pulls together the similaritys there are in good and bad and how just because someone is 'good' it doesn't mean they do good things.
emmmabooks she's honestly my favorite romance YA author and a close second Katie McGarry with the Pushing the Limits series. You should really pick them up.
Karla De la Torre Simone Elkeles is my favorite romance YA author, too. I absolutely loved the "Perfect Chemistry" trilogy. I could read it over and over again, haha! :D
To all the boys I've ever loved Trilogy is freaking amazing!! Literally brought every edition there is .... hardbacks , paper backs and a paper backs Ines that their spines are different 🤓
The Mortal Instruments is the epitome of Trashy YA for me, but not in a good way, because I didn't have the best time reading the series. Also, I liked the Twilight movies more than books, but I only read Eclipse and I wasn't a huge fan of it.
Wow you liked the movies more than the books?! That's a first lol I love the movies too but most fans don't, that much. They tend to enjoy the books more. :)
