my WORST BOOKS OF 2023 🫠 

The worst thing ever written was a story I wrote using Chat GPT where Harry Potter makes Ron a disgusting sweet and sour dish. Ron complains about it so much everyone calls him Sour Ron. He uses magic to try get rid of the horrible taste in his mouth and accidentally transports himself to Middle Earth. The locals ask him his name and he says Sour Ron since everyone calls him that. The locals mistake it as Sauron. They start to fear him because he builds a magic portkey ring to get himself back to Hogwarts but it doesnt work and he turns into a giant flaming eye.

This is hilarious. Please do it again. “Stop making every male character Kylo Ren.” Yes sis!

The roasting mixed with your humor in this video truly is the best. Exactly what I needed today, thank you Emma!

"I wan't someone who knows me, not when I was this weird little kid crawling around in the mud, they can know me now, when I'm still crawling around in the mud" Pls Emma, that was the funniest

"Ian doesn't deserve the terror of being in this novella" I'm crying poor Ian

I agree with you, bad writing ALWAYS ranks a book lower for me. And then I question the standards of the publishing industry 😂

Best books of the year videos are fun but Worst Books are a whole different level of fun! 😈

I watched a video of Emmie’s where she compared reading The Alchemist to having a Live, Laugh, Love decal in your house and I’ve been a loyal fan ever since .

“the rover on mars is blowing up” love the attention to the mars rover 😭😭😭

The rant about that Ali Hazelwood book... I felt that deeply into my bones, girl.

The fire In the background represents the books she's about to roast ❤

Drunk Emma talking about bad books is my new favorite comedy genre.

Omg Emma, I almost spit out my tea when the pic of Mars with eyes and lips popped up😭

omg drunk emma trying to hold it together is such a mood lol

This was so chaotic, I loved it 🤌🤌

"I so rarely forget anything" I'm so jealous 💀

I DNF horrible books, I'm old and I don't have time for bad books there are just too many good one I can be reading.

9:11 😆 SHOTS FIRED!!!!!!! That was savage. I like it.

I don't want to encourage you to alcoholism by any means but damn... I just LOVE tipsy Emma 😂😂 I love these videos! Best time of the year for sure!

I lost it at Gigamander. I remember when you discussed these books in other videos. This was hilarious, so fun! Happy New Year, Emma.

Oh my gosh; this was so great! I was laughing so much, some of those books just sound ridiculous!

In bed sick right now and this is exactly what I needed. You truly have a talent for roasting books😂

I love this video! I loved it last year and I’m so glad you brought it back

*Timestamps* No. 7: Every Summer After (1:02) No. 6: Defy Me (4:44) No. 5: Below Zero (8:26) No. 4: The Vermilion Emporium (14:38) No. 3: The Desert King's Spy (15:30) No. 2: The Fifty Year Sword (18:46) No. 1: To Be Devoured (20:46)

I love these videos. I was looking forward to it. This year I read some awesome books thanks to your recommendations 😊 no complaints

I have the same problem with my belly button, I start screaming the second someone touch it 😂 I send all my love, I appreciate every video you film and I hope this year will bring you a lot of joy❤ Love from Italy

Eagerly waiting for your BEST BOOKS OF 2023 VIDEO !!!! ❄️☃️🥳🥳

This made my day, thank you Emma❤️

i love the rage slowly building up as you talk about each book

ajsjddmejdj she compared him to Mars LMAO i’m losing it💀

ur videos really just get better and better

14:04 omgggg I'm literally on the floor 😂

LOVE sassy and loosey goosey Emma!❤❤😂😂

This really really makes me want to read random books and end up with really bad ones so that i can rant too😂 that’s a new one. love this Emma😁😁

Love your humour, emma 🤭 thanks for the reviews and happy new year!! 🩵

YES! The thing about belly button sensitivity. I have that too and know other people who do. You're not alone

"That's so chic of you" 😭

Refreshing! Love it 💖

The Mars picture 💀 and then the Freud comment!!

Love the way you talk♥️👑

Thanks Emmie. You make even bad reviews fun to watch. And, because I generally like your lit taste, I will avoid these novels. But I may read house of leaves. I don’t like books that seem intentionally gimmicky, but I’ve heard reviews both pro and con so I’m curious. Happy New Year.

Omg I was so looking forward to this video!! We love red-wine-Emma!! I read my first Colleen Hoover this year which was definitely my worst reading experience.

“He’s like this little cinnamon roll” is my new favorite description for humans ever

Waiting eagerly for your classic lit tier list for 2023

The sass, the editing, the Freud Interlude. This was hilarious and I really love your sense of humor, thank you for the much needed laughter! 💙

I'm actually crying laughing 😭🤣 literally gasping for air lololol 😂 "When the title and the rating are the same. That's weird 👀" HELP 😭💀😭💀

Already looking forward to you doing this again next year! My worst book was definitely "The Pallbearers Club" by Paul Tremblay. It sounded like something I was going to enjoy, but really it wasn't worth it at all!

My last book of 2023 was Central Places by Delia Cai also because it’s about a girl going back to central Illinois for the holidays and I recently moved to central Illinois and thought oh wow this is me. It wasnt nearly as bad as you described Every Summer After, but it was just so odd. *spoilers* the main character leaves her fiancé that she had a great relationship with and randomly starts deteriorating when they get to her hometown… and he also completely changes and I think it was just poor writing not the location change… but anyways she leaves him to be with her high school not even boyfriend but crush… just so odd.

Emma I think this annual event/series should be called A Toast to the Roast. 🍷🔥 I just love these videos. (I can imagine you thinking in Holden Caulfield language: I always pick a gorgeous time to read a godawful goddamn book)

LET THE RANT BEGIN!!!! ❤

Slowly getting back to reading at least one book per year (used to read a lot but school and life made me busy + usually the books I wanna read come late to my country so yeah, but I'm slowly getting back into it tho) and I refuse to read most of the hyped booktok authors/books (rwrb was exception bc it was perfect to ease my stressed brain and I read it during the holidays, also having couple of lgbt books (which are quote popular on booktok) on my tbr) and I wheezed when I checked out some upcoming 2024 books and Ali Hazelwood is coming back again with a book with a vampire main character and an ALPHA MALE. A were alpha male. I propably won't read her works ever but geez this woman seems to write in a speed of light bc she almost constantly publishes new books left and right. Your ranting once again was glorious and I had a great time listening it. Thank you Emma and happy new year!

Thank you for making me laugh, Emma!!! Your review for below zero really made me LOL 😂 😂

Group trip to Svalbard!!!

Your hair looks very lovely!!! Love this video, you are hilarious!!!

Nicely done, highly entertaining 🔥

i loved all the roasting and ranting emmie had me cackling

Tipsy Emma made me belly laugh. Thank you.

This feels like ASMR but not for sleep just for pure relaxation reasons.

IVE ALWAYS WANTED THAT FIREPLACE 😮

This is so cool !

Have you heard of The memoirs of Stockholm Sven? Currently reading this and it's based in Svalbard ❄️

"...he's a golden retriever" 🤣 I love your humour.

I have got to know what your final thoughts on “Manacled” were so that I can decide if I want to finish it. Lol

I took a break from the Count of MC and started reading 1984 Julia by Sandra Newman. It's a retelling of 1984 from Julia's point of view. If your ready to return to Airstrip One you might enjoy this.

Lol, watching Emma slowly getting drunk and still deliver this masterpiece! 🎉😂❤

"Very scary" 😂😂

Loved this, you are hilarious ❤

Drunk Emma really is something else 😂

In the House in the Dark of the Woods by Laird Hunt omg I had to DNF it because the main character refers to her husband as "My man" every few seconds (counted 5 times on one page) and it was so aggravating that I could not take it anymore. The writing was so odd, unnatural, and choppy that it actually seemed like it was written by AI, like chat bot or something.

I'm always waiting for "the worst books of the year" videos the most!! I love the rants too much for some reason, hahaha.

I despise the Shatter Me series, so it's pretty cathartic to watch you drag one of the books haha

I'm loving the unhinged energy here lmao

Emmie please please 🙏 do more fantastic videos like this one as it’s a absolute five 5️⃣ star ⭐️ love it 🥰 and your amazing 😻 and fantastic channel keep up your awesome content love your Aussie family friend John 💚💛💚💛hope you have had a great Christmas and New Year ❤❤❤

My worst book of 2023 was Twisted Love by Ana Huang ... NEVER trusting the booktok girlies again after that one!

I read so many of the Ali Hazelwood books and had to finally stop myself because I was hate reading them and each one was exactly the same.

That was hilarious, and I can't wait for your best books of the year, I always like to guess which ones will be on top :)

This was so entertaining! 🤣

The reason for the next 3 books in the shatter me series was 100 percent monetary. If I recall correctly Tehereh Mafi wanted to only write the first three books and the publishing company was like actually do three more or we will drop you. I could be wrong about this as well but, theres a big gap in publishing between the first three and the last three as well.

The worst thing I read in 2023 was Jonathan Livingston Seagull. It's an allegorical novella written in 1970. It was a big deal when I was a teenager but somehow I never got around to reading it. Lordy, was it tedious. Absolute dreck. Cheers, Emma.

I don't know if you have seen Jack Edward's videos talking abou the worst books of the year but similar vibes, very funny roasting of books, never thought I would enjoy these so much haha

18:42 “as dry as a setting”, checks out with the whole desert and all

That was a sick Freud impression wow 👏👏👏

EMMA I also have the bellybutton thing! It is so painful if it is even slightly grazed. I swear I thought I was alone.

This was so fun 😂

Although I love when you talk about your 5* reads, it's so entertaining to see you ramble about the questionable books you find along the way. Couldn't stop laughing when you told the girl to get her lumps checked out. Or when you figured out what gigamanders were

mid-rant, “oh wait I didn’t even tell you what this was about” 😂♥️

Mine was Pillars of the earth and my god was I never more regretful about not abandoning it after the first chapter like I wanted to. But I was adamant to torture myself at least a couple hundred more pages to be able to rant properly. Secret history was not as bad, but up there.

19:22 is the absolute best! ".. with... writing..."

Is anyone else here waiting for the 2023 blooper reel? @emmiereads, we waiting patiently 😇

yes u can rant to us pls emma 🧎‍♀️

my worst book of the year was crave. the writing is juvenile and repetitive. that being said , i will continue to tortue myself and read more of the series because what other use do i have for my kindle unlimited free trial?? recommendations of actually good books on kindle are welcome.

Do this more often please, loved the roasting.

I'd have to drink a lot to get rid of all the bad memories lol. Surprisingly don't think I gave any 1-star reviews last year, but I did give a couple 2 stars. "Girls Against God" sounds exciting, isn't.

All the sips after the Defy Me "he survives" hahahahah

"Please consume alcohol safely" Negative. I read The Alchemist this year.

The caotic vibes in this video is amazing 😂

Вітаю з Новим роком! Дякую за цікаве відео!

Great video. 📚☕❄️

I have House of Leaves on my shelf. After seeing your genuinely strong emotion to that book, it will remain there for a while longer… that book both calls and frightens me. I’m not ready 😅

Regarding the belly button thing, I 100% can relate. If somebody touches my belly button, I instantly get a stomachache and I just can't stand the feeling. I sometimes get the same feelibg if I touch it myself.
