“This book is my Everest!!” 😂

@a5anointed705 Год назад

Gabby, worst books of the year is one of the first videos I saw when I discovered your channel and it cracked me up 😂. I was really looking forward to this one. Have a great Christmas!

@gabbyreads Год назад

Aw that’s so sweet thank you!! ❤

@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664 Год назад

we are catching up on our bookish videos today before coffee! Happy Bookish Thursday Friends! 🤩🤗

@megmcreads Год назад

Things We Do In the Dark got better when I switched to audio but it was disappointing compared to her others. I actually got to meet Jennifer this year and ended up taking Jar of Hearts for her to sign instead of the one she was talking about 😬

@TumbleFourYa Год назад

I am not exaggerating when I say my mouth fell open at Pallbearers Club being your number two!! I'm actually rereading it right now because I loved it so much when I read it the first time😅

@itstheeblue821 Год назад

I'm so glad I'm not the only one didn't enjoy Pieces of her, I tried three times to continue the book, but I had to stop around 100 pages in, like you I'm becoming more comfortable not finishing books that I'm hating picking up, I love this video series💞

@emperorcupcake Год назад

Not the Haunting of Ashburn House and The Pallbearer's Club being two of my fave books of the year 😅

@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664 Год назад

@hooklineandinker Год назад

I feel the same about Every Summer After. The reason they fell apart is obvious right away and I did not care about their feelings. They both deserved a lot less 😂

@bookloverlaura Год назад

I felt like the only one who hated Every Summer After! My thoughts were nearly identical to yours

@judychapman1868 Год назад

Gabby, I literally laughed through your whole video. It was so entertaining! I loved it! ❤❤Judy❤❤

@wiktoriabadora1243 Год назад

skipping the parts about books I enjoyed to protect my inner peace lmao I am loving this end of year videos tho! ❤️

@wiktoriabadora1243 Год назад

and I completely agree about Hide!

@withlovelisa_ Год назад

we both felt the exact same about every summer after and nine lives!! our minds🤝

@brittanysettle Год назад

Not me having sad flashbacks the moment you threw up Things We Do In the Dark 🤣 Some of my least favorites were Things We Do In the Dark, The Pallbearers Club, and An Honest Lie 🫠

@gabbyreads Год назад

An Honest Lie almost made this list for me too haha 😅

@carlyramer1118 Год назад

I watched all the hate Hide got on booktube and decided to give it a try. Loved it! Lol. I think because I was spoiled about so much I went in with low expectations and ended up really liking it.

@taylor11111 Год назад

I feel like I’ve heard the term “yuck your yum” so much the part few weeks lol. Does any mine know where this phrase is coming form lol?

@angelaholmes8888 Год назад

Yeah so am I 😁

@RegginaldRiglet Год назад

Couldn’t agree more about “things we do in the dark” hillier mentions in her acknowledgments that with Covid, her kids, and life made this book her most difficult to write. Imo it really shows. Lack the intensity of her previous works. Hearing you mention amusement parks. To wash the bad hillier taste out of your mind. Please check out “Wonderland” by hillier. It’s one of her best.

@danawoodley5219 Год назад

I sort of want to read Pallbearers Club now after hearing about the strikethroughs & annotations--- Kayla loved it; you hated it. I have only read one book by Tremblay and had mixed feelings about it. Wonder how they handle the structure of the book in audio format.

@NakiasHideaway Год назад

Gabby, I love your disclaimer that this video is not for authors. So true! I think we all should say that going forward. 🙌🏾 And Exorcist House?! Oh noooo! That's on my TBR for next year. Hope I don't hate it. 🙈 Also, Tank!!!!!! Just the cutest! Steals the show as always! 😍

@gabbyreads Год назад

Thanks Nakia!! I hope you enjoy the book more than I did 😌

I love Toni Collette, too, so I watched the adaptation. Your experience reading it sounds like my experience watching it. Lol

@carelesskitten9475 Год назад

Omg after all this time I felt like I was the only one who didn’t like every summer after. I tried giving it a chance and I dnf’d it after chapter 8 lol

@ClaudiaWowPaw Год назад

Love end of the year videos!! Will you be doing anticipated 2023 releases??

@gabbyreads Год назад

Yes it should be coming in early January!

@JanAgaton Год назад

LOVE that sweater on you 😍

@Flaceee Год назад

Pieces of Her was def one of the worst books I read last year… the protagonist read like a teenager, but was supposedly mid thirties right and then her mom’s back story was sooooo convoluted

@ashleyegli1886 Год назад

Hide made my list of worst books, too. I agree it seemed very YA and I also have nothing nice to say about it 🤣 It could've been so great 😬

@roxieswonderousworld Год назад

I love hearing about what books people thought were best and worst. Gives me a different point of view to think about if I had a difference of opinion. Helps me looked at a book through a different lens.

@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664 Год назад

we are catching up on our bookish videos today before coffee! Happy Bookish Thursday Friends! 🤩🤗

@jaclynbee23 Год назад

If you ever give Darcy Coates another chance I recommend Voices in the Snow. It’s a series but it very different from her usual writing so you might like it.

@CoralTheWitch2023 Год назад

OMG! Tank is Soooo cute! The Pallbearers Club was my WORST book of the year!

@justinkhchen Год назад

I forgot about Darcy Coates! The author is not for me-but I felt the liveshow for The Haunting of Ashburn House kind of made up for it! 😅

@gabbyreads Год назад

Very true haha that was a fun live show! 😌

I actually really liked Best Day Ever but I totally get what you're saying about it🤣. The male POV was such an ass.

@pratiksha2898 Год назад

You look so pretty in that top 😍 Looking forward for best books you've read this year.

@LorenG2_ Год назад

Yes!! Every Summer After was one the worst books ever! I agree that twist towards the end made the couple irredimible! And also it’s straight up plagiarism. I only picked this up because I heard it was better than Love & Other Words I didn’t like that book either but thought I’d picked it up. But boy that was a mistake they are too much alike.

@gabbyreads Год назад

I agree lol I didn’t like that book either 😢

@monicaspurpledoor Год назад

Every summer after was a lot better than love and other words. Yes she made a mistake but she felt horrible afterwards and the twist was pretty obviously coming unlike LAOW where it was just thrown in last minute for drama.

@beaubooks7287 Год назад

Urgh, Hide actually triggered a little depressive episode for me 😅 It took me 3 weeks to read it… I’m looking forward to your 2022 favourites! ❤

@jenniferwright9636 Год назад

I’m pretty good about DNF books when I’m not enjoying them and I did DNF quite a few of your worse books of the year. I absolutely hated Lessons in Chemistry. Could not stand the main character. She got on my nerves so bad that I wished I could slap her, lol. I didn’t have very many five star reads. Daisy Darker and Hidden Pictures are two that come to mind I gave five stars. Wasn’t a great year reading wise. I think I may try to stay away from highly hyped books in the coming year. Seems like they are normally the most disappointing for me.

@rebar351 Год назад

This I have no clue why it’s so popular lol

@charolettewittner5061 Год назад

Omg I thought I was the only one who hated Lessons in Chemistry! I was excited going into it just based off the synopsis but DNF’d it 50 pages in. I felt like the main character was so bland and wasn’t interesting at all. I was very surprised to see that it has such high ratings!

@DaveShaves44 Год назад

Dear Laura ftw!!!! That book was ATROCIOUS! I read it last year and my god definitely one of my worst, easy 1 star on my goodreads

@gracerracer3405 Год назад

Watching this made me realize for the first time that Things We Do in the Dark was supposed to have a twist. I liked the book but I didn't realize the "twist" was supposed to be a "twist" because it was obvious right away. Like, literally, right away. I assumed we were supposed to know. hahah.

@danawoodley5219 Год назад

I liked the Toni Collette movie. I mean it was no Muriel's Wedding, but for a Netflix movie- enjoyable enough.

@Jillybeanzxo Год назад

I’m amazed how many of these books on this list I’ve given 5 stars 😄🤭 I love the roast show though 🤣🙌❤️

@dannimason2708 Год назад

Agree with dear Laura, I didn’t hate it as much as u I still had a good time reading it probably because of how short it was but I thought the same, it had such a great premise which just amounted to nothing ? The way it ended made me so mad like alll that that whole journey just for that?

@bookswithgeri Год назад

"It's like watching grass grow" PLSSS 😂😂

@sarmadnasir8578 Год назад

When is your video of best books of 2022 coming up ???

@Catmom726 Год назад

I couldn’t even finish the pallbearers club. The only redeeming quality was the annotation style. Other than that it was garbage. But hands down the top two worst books I finished this year was my best friends exorcism and the house across the lake. The house across the lake made me so wildly irrationally angry when I finished it especially considering I have given every other sager book 4.5 or 5 stars including survive the night. I could probably post a 3 hour video ranting about how much I despised it.

@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664 Год назад

@heavendude101 Год назад

I read PIECES OF HER when it came out (I believe it was in 2018) and I agree somewhat with what you said. Upon looking back I thought I was the only one who thought the book was boring. But your opinions kind of like brought back (revitalised?) my dislike for the book. Yes, it's bad. And I am not alone in thinking that. Thank you, Gabby.

@rebar351 Год назад

Biggest disappoint for sure is Lightlark by Alex aster! This book was so hyped and I originally only bought the book for the beautiful overlays because I fell in love with the characters. But I didn’t even get them cause it was US only. The book was poorly written, things the author talked about in the book NEVER happened! Like she talked about romance and there wasn’t any! The characters were so superficial and we only got one character point of view which drove me wild!

@katyakaplan225 Год назад

"like he was sliding into third base" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@jamessadler252 Год назад

i read my first Darcy Coates novel, The Carrow Haunt and the only reason i finished it is because i paid $17.00 for it. I'm not a Darcey Coates fan. Ending was very cheezie.

@samanthajones6132 Год назад

I totally agree about Every Summer After and that THING that happened. Totally unforgivable and it just made me feel so angry!

@codytidwell5086 Год назад

the pallbearer’s club was ROUGH

@afriendwithfiction865 Год назад

It wasn't my worst book of the year, but I was so disappointed in Daisy Darker (unpopular opinion, I know) because I love Alice Feeney. That book felt like my Everest haha.

@sabrinaford9 Год назад

My top spot is tied between Nine Lives and a controversial one as many people loved it Comfort me with apples. I hated that book.

@KrystalAddiWatson Год назад

@alexatiletile3257 Год назад

I had to DNF Nine Lives because I was so bored 😅 After 3 (!!!) consecutive flops from Peter Swanson and only 1 hit, I think I’m writing him off as a one-hit wonder and really want to revisit The Kind Worth Killing because all his recent novels have not been it!!

I read a different book by kaira rounda and had a similar issue. She seems to love overdoing terrible characters.

@bayoumuddah Год назад

I felt bad for not liking things done in the dark because I love Jennifer hilliers books but that one was just.....awful 💀. I was given an arc to read and I couldn't wait for it end. I had to take a short break from thrillers because they were all becoming predictable and boring. Also hate when the killer motives are so underwhelming the live show for nine lives was the best.

@stews9 Год назад

I DNF when a book is failing me. No time to waste on mediocre or bad books. There are far too many good to excellent ones left to read.

Omg haha y’all are too sweet no worries!! I very much appreciate you sending that book my way!! ❤

@sassysarahreads Год назад

Yea Hide and Dear Laura were not it for me. I actually read both of them because of how much you disliked those two and I wanted to know if I would feel the same. I didn’t hate them as much as you, but I didn’t like them.

Okay. I came here to say that I finished My Summer Darlings this morning and oh my god, no. Just no. It was the worst. It’s literally just three toxic friends getting drunk and obsessing over some dude for no logical reason.

@theraphosidae13 Год назад

My least favourite book of the year was Hooked by Emily McEntire but perhaps my most surprising/most controversial choice was Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter. I absolutely hated that book, it was too long, too predictable, it dragged, the characters were unlikeable and annoying, it did nothing new with the "dead spouse has a secret" trope. I do not understand how SO many people love that book. It was my first experience with Karin Slaughter and while it didn't completely turn me off of reading from her in the future, it makes me way less likely to make reading any of her other books a priority.

@taravincent9699 Год назад

We Are the Light was my absolute worst read in 2022. So annoying. I wish I would have DNF’d it. It took me just over a month to read.

@nicolestrickland90 Год назад

I didn't read Dear Laura, but I don't think ANYTHING could be worse than Nine Lives, girl. I really don't. lol

@tinadoesntreadthatmuch Год назад

My worst books I’ve read in 2022: - a good girl’s guide to murder (sorry, Gabby!) - a dowry of blood (again, sorry haha 😅) - the patient (AGAIN 😢) - beautiful world where are you - boy parts (THIS ONE FUCKING TAKES THE CAKE IT WAS SO FREAKING GARBAGE OMG) - things we do in the dark - pieces of her - black girls must die exhausted (I’m white but oh boi WAS I EXHAUSTED READING THIS BOOK, felt like forever even though it was only three days) - night of the mannequins (I just think it was super problematic) - we need to do something (because no JOKES ABOUT FARTING ARE NOT FREAKING FUNNY and the kid was just driving me nuts) Please don’t take it personally, I know you’ve loved/like most of these 🥰🥰 I’m happy these books have found their audience, I’m just sad I’ve wasted my time for them 😂

@ruthfernandez8801 Год назад

@trishee7625 Год назад

Watching Pieces of Her was absolutely horrible. Don’t waste your time, Peter Swanson…to me he is an overhyped author. When I read The Kind Worth Killing I figured it out almost immediately and found it boring. Never read anything more by him. Love Jennifer Hillier, but haven’t read her newest. Probably won’t based on your review. Great video!
