My hottest take, Brandon Sanderson is boring! For me his books are like a complex spreadsheet of plot points filled in to resemble a story. I call him Banjo Sandman bc he bores and annoys me. Smut gets repetitive bc it feeds off of itself and chases trends. Example they use the same few mythological characters instead of taking a more obscure character and doing someting creative. Also they lack detail where could make something more than the same scene but the dude has horns instead of wings. Other senses like taste are often overlooked. Luna Fury is my personal fav smut writer, her Taken by the Witch Queen series is great and I'm invested in the story.

“Goosebumps: Go Eat Worms.”

I haven’t read any of the new ones but I would definitely read a Finnick one. I need to read the Haymitch book

Only one 😳

I love the characters, plots, ships etc. but i hate reading so i guess im stuck watching movies and making my own ocs

Saaaaame. The other day, I tried to skip the first like 30 pages to see if I could get to the good stuff and figure out the details for myself. Yeah, no. didn't work 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

YES this is so true, it feels so impersonal somehow when I'm at the first pages and trying to figure out what the book is about. If the beginning phase takes too long, I worry whether I'm ever going to care about the characters or the story at all

I hate being at the beginning of anything. It prevents me from starting tv shows and stories

Twelfth knight was so good

10:13 Divine Rivals was like this and I ate it uppp

i just read one the other day its called Hot Dog Girl by Jennifer Dugan its YA and sapphic and the closest thing ive had to a 5 star in a while i adored it!

I know myself too well to know if I had an e reader and read books there and love the book I will definitely by the physical copy as well

THE TRUTH😂❤

I liked ATTV but tbh I was waiting for a more modern setting, rather than a fairytale one

Same! But mine is weirdly the ones that are like “6 weeks” then jk here ya go, the one that said a week is gonna be a while. And thankfully usually 3 so I just deliver later. Especially since my KU free trial still has 2 weeks left 😂

KAT!! I know this doesn’t have much to do with the video but I finally read Divine Rivals and I thought we had talked about it previously and I stalked your videos trying to find that conversation but I couldn’t find it.😆 so hopefully I don’t sound crazy but I NEED something to talk to about this!

The dune in 2021 is the best one in Scifi movie

Yay, you uploaded a long video and it was soo entertaining to hear other people's unpopular opinions🤩 I wish I had read more of the popular book series, like Shatter Me, Throne of Glass, The Cruel Prince, Acotar (I finished book 2 last month, so at least something 😂),... so that I could join in the conversation, but I'm getting there eventually😅 When it comes to smut though, I actually prefer clean romances. A few years ago it didn't really bother me in books but nowadays I can really do without it😅 I love it though that all of us have different opinions about this and all the topics mentioned in the video! That makes it so great to discuss them🥰

Unpopular opinion: Aaron Warner is not the book boyfriend. In fact he should be one of the most hated, since yk, HE R@PED JULLIETE. And people shouldn't interpret it any other way because he did in fact r@pe her.

I agree with all the opinions about the cruel prince, I didn't like it at all.

If I’m gonna read spice I prefer it to be at the end of the book after the characters have created an emotional connection first

the absolute worst trope is love triangle.

These were the books that got me into reading. After finishing city of glass I was like ok this is my JAM and then I was so excited to read 900 more books

Hi there! I just want to say what a sweet soul you seem to be, you’re so sweet and gentle with your delivers of your opinions and I think that’s why I enjoy your videos so much. I wish I caught the chance to put in another opinion so I’ll just jot it down below! Great video as always! My unpopular book opinion is that I’m so tired of people hating on certain authors ( cough cough Colleen Hoover) I personally enjoy her books and it’s okay that others don’t obviously but to go out of your way to spread hate and hurtful thoughts about her and her writing I don’t think is okay. Us as readers have to take the good books with the bad but to just hate on someone who a lot of these people do not even know personally I think is a bad look for the book reading population. If you don’t like them or her just move on and read something else 🤷🏻‍♀️

I agree with you that Love, Rosie is an amazing movie adaption and honestly a better movie. Doesn't happen often either!

I agree about TOG vs ACOTAR. I prefer TOG overall (I just love the story) as it feels more adult or mature in some way. However, Rhys and Feyre are my favorite. They’re both good in their own way. ❤

The way you knew the specific number of pages that were damaged to this day. Core memory. I’m so sorry this happened to you. It’s clear the trauma runs deep and that is gone unhealed. I don’t even know how someone goes about dealing with something like that. Some wounds just never fully heal.

This is to the person(s) that thinks ACOTAR is better than ToG, the person(s) that think Shatter Me is overrated, and the ones that think Powerless wasn’t it. Go ahead and sign me up for the newsletter, the club will meet 3 times a month, matching Tshirts will be provided. I have found my tribe. I can’t relate with The Cruel Prince girlies though. If you saw my comment about going through it in 2020/2021 and feeling disconnected because contemporary romance wasn’t it for me anymore and I didn’t know up from down, I remember randomly picking up The Cruel Prince in the fall time with such little hope. I never bing’ed (binged?) series at that time and I flew through that trilogy. I had the added benefit of not having TikTok marketing it to me as a romance though. I knew what I was getting into. Except the tail. I didn’t expect that.

This is for the person that doesn’t feel valid because you aren’t able to read as much. I use to read well over a 100 books a year. 2020 affected me different. Everyone was finding reading again and I couldn’t complete a book to save my life. I came out of it but I was no longer interested in the contemporary romances that I was reading 3-5 of a week. So my numbers still weren’t great because fantasy took me longer to digest and I was just reading longer books. I’ve only this year started showing myself some grace. I may only be reading a fraction of books compared to other readers but my page count is similar if not better. If you read, you’re a reader and your bookish journey is yours. It doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. I watch TBR videos and readathon content with all the prompts. I adore making TBRs. I’m slightly unhinged and I have multiple TBR jars. I have made a handful of Bookopoly game boards myself. So I make more than one TBR list every month and season. But at my core and all of the other places, I’m a mood reader. That’s right. I make TBR lists and then just read whatever I want to in the moment. Every month. Completely. Unhinged. I understand you want to be represented with what you’re seeing in the content you consume but those people are on their own journeys too. Reading can provide many things to many people. Entertainment, escapism, solace, education, comfort, hope, community, and it’s just good for a person’s health. If you’re going to take anything away from being a part of the book community let it be this. Other readers are rooting for you and your unique journey. It matters and you matter. The what, how, why of it all is yours and yours alone and you’re still one of us. You belong. You belong while doing an activity that is traditionally done solo. I hope everyone thinks about that because it actually blows my mind. We all do this thing that we don’t need anyone else to participate in with us for us to find enjoyment in it. Despite that fact, we still let it bond and unite us. ❤

Such a fun video to watch, and I agree with a lot of the opinions in it!! ❤

My husband loves the Dune series and he says the movies don't do the books justice and that they changed a lot.

I love that all your comments were rooted in kindness! 🥰 I definitely prefer closed-door romances myself or I just skip through any spice. I recently read a book where the first page had a trigger warning list and also said “if you prefer no bedroom scenes, skip chapter 34” and I thought it was amazing that the author did that!

Love your videoes❤ I hope it’s ok for you i made a short with this sound🫶 If It’s not i will take it down:)

I’d love a book about the 25th quarter quell, cause I think there is an interesting look at inter community politics with the whole voting children in idea there, and it would be nice to have book without an already established winner that the audience knows about. It could really act as a commentary as the audience for the books being like the audience of the Captiol experiencing the games in real time.

There’s another book coming out in 2025

You’re not, it happens to me all the time

Northern Lights by Philip Pullman, again. It’s my comfort book, I love it so much!

I’m reading The house is salt and sorrows ❤❤

REALLL I'm like omg just tell me alreadyyy why am I so slowww

thats so relatable i was trying to start a book yesterday and i was just dreading it why cant i be half way through and in love with it already???

Yeees !!! 😂 I had a reading block because of this 😂 I want to read but put me straight in the action but also i want ti know everything that happened before 😂

No she has explicitly said that she would not

I would SCREAM so hard Finnick is one of my absolute favorite characters of all time like I would honestly love a Finnick book because he was the youngest to win and I think that it would be really interesting!

Starting a book is so difficult!

I think Walker scobell would make a great young finnick

This is so real 😭😭

I've been so busy stuck at 50% of the book I'm reading. It's so good!! It was good since page 1🎉
