Did no one go after Papa Meat for his video on the same topic? That one was a lot worse 😅 Kris was pretty tame compared to many other people who’ve covered the topic. I’m assuming some of her fans are smut readers and got offended. They don’t want their favorite creator to think they’re weird, when a lot of people do think smut books are weird. Just cause we think it’s weird doesn’t mean we think negatively of the people who read them. I personally would rather read something of substance but would never push that agenda onto others. There’s plenty of genres out there & no one reads them all. Theres a niche for everyone & yeah, they’re gonna get dogged on once in a while when someone doesn’t like the genre.

Love Godless, a lot of great books that I can't find anywhere else. Also adding on how to send books to kindle, the url the app links to is just the amazon url /sendtokindle to drag and drop files. :) That way folks don't even need to download the desktop app if they don't want to.

3:00 i’ve seen smut books in children sections before. i agree that parents should know what their kids are reading, but i was reading fanfic at the age of 13 and my parents not knowing what i read im also a reader who doesn’t like smut. it’s not my thing yet i don’t shame anyone for liking it i feel like people should share if they like smut books and why they don’t (like kris said). no need to shame anyone for sharing that opinion you can agree to disagree with people i don’t get why she got so much hate for sharing HER opinion just because you disagree with her (not you, but who you’re taking about) so, i agree what you said and i also agree with her

i definitely agree with some of what you're saying, like how you shouldn't shame people for what they like, but kris also has some good points. i genuinely think she wasn't trying to shame the people who read these kinds of books, but the way it comes off definitely makes it seem that way. it's all just things that get lost in translation. she had good intentions, but it didn't come out the way she intended.

I'm pretty sure she said multiple timea during the video she wasn't shaming anyone for what they're reading, she just doesn't see the appeal.

❤

I can agree with sone points you i definitely thinks it's weird to unlisted the video

babe shut up, eve posted ☕️

The issue with so many of these books is how they blatantly romanticize abuse and toxic relationships, framing them as desirable or aspirational. While adults might have the capacity to separate fiction from reality, teenagers-particularly those aged 14 to 18-are still developing their understanding of relationships, making this a serious problem. Research shows that consistent exposure to harmful media shapes attitudes and behaviors, and young people are especially vulnerable to this influence. Studies on violent video games, such as those published in Pediatrics and the Journal of Adolescent Health, prove that constant exposure can desensitize kids to violence and even foster aggressive tendencies. The same principle applies here: books that normalize or glamorize abusive relationships risk conditioning young readers to believe these dynamics are acceptable or even romantic. The effects are real, and dismissing them is irresponsible. As someone who has seen the devastating impact of abuse on people I care about, I find these books not only disturbing but outright dangerous. They trivialize the real, lasting pain caused by abuse, turning it into entertainment. That’s not just irresponsible-it’s harmful, and it perpetuates a culture where toxic behaviors are excused and even celebrated. Authors need to wake up to the damage they’re doing. If they insist on writing about abusive or toxic relationships, then those stories need to be clearly labeled as 18+ with explicit warnings about their themes. Marketing this content to teenagers is unacceptable and reckless. Authors who glorify toxicity without accountability are complicit in the harm their stories cause. They have a responsibility to show what healthy relationships look like, or at the very least, stop peddling damaging narratives to young, impressionable readers.

Those books are really bad books, but as an adult and free person it is your choice to make and if you want to read bad books you're free to do so. I've definitely read some bad books myself. It does bother me however when books promote extremist opinions, racism, or sexual misconduct. I don't share the belief that all books are good regardless of the content. There are some books that can do more harm than good especially to younger and more impressionable audience.

i LOVE your energy but also i agree with everything single word you have said omg . i saw kris’ video but didn’t get to watch it and i noticed the title change a bunch of times then disappear and i was like wtf. i don’t have insta or tiktok so this filled me in

You don't have to be "good at it." This apart from your personality sets you apart from other youtubers. I can relate though. Ive wanted to start a video channel but I'm not going to lie I'm so fucking insecure. Do your thing girl just subscribed!

I’ve been wondering when someone was finally going to get pushback on their booktok commentary videos lol idk, it’s just so tired & spent at this point too. I wasn’t offended by it, it’s just annoying to keep seeing. Also, the “kids are reading these books,” is the same rhetoric that ppl hound on for book bans for books they don’t agree with

Oh girl you gotta try Holly Black’s books!! Start with Tithe though 😎 you’re welcome. It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. Everyone who has borrowed it from me has literally become obsessed with the series

I DNF when I feel like a book is draining my vital energy and will to live (it happened with House of Leaves, for example).

Give Slewfoot another chance! ITS SO GOOD I promise😭

It’s disappointing to hear people take time out of their day just to harass you and send you these awful messages. Keep doing what you love! I would have not taken he leap into this genre without you (you’re reviews are amazing and still leave plenty for the reader to explore) and have loved it ever since 🩷

Just a heads up for anyone going to read offspring, it is a direct sequel to his book Off Season, so read that first !! Off season was amazing. What brother by Ania Ahlborn lacked for me, off season more than made up for and gave me what I wanted in a cannibal book (same with offspring) 😍

Thank you for putting the titles and authors in the description it’s much appreciated ♥️

Now I have a new list

I DNF books because I'm a mood reader, too. But there's been many of those books that I've picked back up at a later date and absolutely loved.

KU be coming in CLUTCH with some fun extreme horror lol

MY QUEEN

I appreciate you making this bc I'm trying to get better at DNF'ing lol. I should of quit the Final Girl Support Group. I was only rooting for the MC's pet plant lmao it was all over the place

I couldn't get into dead inside. Too many coincidences. There is pro wrestling and then there is robocop coming out to save sting pro wrestling lol

I love how Grimacé (Grimace’s 🫳🏽 cousin) is always the last one spotted. 🤭

I forgot about Karin slaughter, I DNFd her too. Pretty girls felt soooooo drawn out I got so bored I DNFd the willows because it started sooooo good but the second half went off the rails for me. I wanted it to not go in the crazy action, quite literally fighting demons with weapons and it did so it just wasn’t my thing.

Hi, just wanted to say I subscribed and you look so pretty! And I sooo relate to the oversized clothes for comfort and buying stuff just to feel something. Sending love🖤🖤

I love this video you are so funny 😂❤ sending good vibes 😎

ive tried to read falling by tj newman and it was honestly so boring😭 i don’t even know

okay but those transitions were sick

I’m interested to know how you feel about the Bizarro Horror genre most notably Carlton Mellick. My favorite from him are The Haunted Vagina and Every time we meet at the Dairy Queen your whole fuckjng face explodes. I’ve been really into the Bizarro horror genre lately and have been going down the rabbit hole. Love the vid Eve and you look stunning as always 🖤

Oh and tender is the flesh. Close to finishing, but i couldnt take it any more cause im extremely imaginative.

Hard dnf for American psycho. Gratuitous blood and guts, misogynistic and animal cruelty. No thanks.

😂 I feel like I'm gonna be on this list

Oh man I loved haunted. I had to read it twice though. Geek love I feel is hyped up as something so extreme but it only was for the time

All other genres bore me now other than splatter punk so thank a lot 😅

congrats on two months! That is no small accomplishment!!

You are amazing Eve!❤❤❤

I really hope you keep thriving! Your book videos on here are so comfortable and authentic and your podcast is wonderful to listen to and relax, I won’t be going anywhere after the tok 🥰

I like how raw and more authentic your videos are, it feels like a friend giving you an update on their new book finds after returning from the book store (a very gory violent gross bookstore) 😂

I think you’re amazing and I appreciate you reviewing books in a more niche subject. You’re taking the heat, but there are others like you too lil peach. We’re so grateful for you being brave and just being yourself. Have a good day luv.

Shout out from Flesh Wound Features. Love your videos.

Congrats on 2 months! I just pasted a year, the “I stretched my septum so I could feel something” is SO relatable ❤️

I think we all feel that imposter syndrome congratulations on two months! Hope you enjoy the books and goodies

Your channel seems fun. I can’t wait to dive into the other videos. Thanks, algorithm!

will you do another kindle unlimited video?? 🙏🏻🙏🏻👀

idk how to respond… maybe my mother will know :)

WJAT💀💀💀💀

The way my jaw dropped 😭
