justice for confessions!!! its so... creepy and gross and its just... it has stuck in my mind for like a year

@ramen8760 8 ай бұрын

Yes!! This is one of my favourite books of the year!

@katherineeaster5799 8 ай бұрын

I agree. Definitely one of the best books I've read this year. I'm still thinking about it.

@yasminnn8 8 ай бұрын

Yeah i loved it! I was a little worried going into it because of the criticism of it being repetitive but it wasn’t in my opinion. I loved the different perspectives and the ending was fun (and also terrible hahah)

@TheAbigailDee 8 ай бұрын

I LOVED this one! What a great and terrible story!

I am admittedly a Fourth Wing hater, but I also struggle with the fact that as of late, Rebecca Yarros has posted some opinions on her Instagram and done some interviews that show ignorance and disrespect at best about current world situations and the cultures and languages she features in her books. I was all for Fourth Wing getting people back into fantasy novels, but now hearing the hype for Iron Flame when Yarros has proven to be problematic just makes me wince.

@abireadz 8 ай бұрын

Literally this. I think it’s really ironic that Rebecca is writing an oppressive society in her fantasy book, and her characters are striking back against it, yet irl, she chooses to side with the oppressors. It absolutely rubs me the wrong way

I just successfully forgot book of night existed because I hated it and now I am reminded of the fact that there was this little thing in me that wanted to read the next book just to know how it end😂

@brianadelgado7873 8 ай бұрын

Havent read fourth wing yet, but the "dragon without their rider/rider without their dragon" slogan reminds me of Eragon....and I'm not sure how i feel about that

@malloryann9881 8 ай бұрын

I’d love to watch you read iron flame. I’m curious if you think it gets better.

i WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with your thoughts on confessions😅 i was so bored reading the same story over and over

I knew what was going to win (lose) straight away. 😆 My worst this year so far was The Neighbor Favor, and it was only a two star-by some miracle I’ve escaped one-stars all year!

@sailingqueen678 8 ай бұрын

You can read iron flame and call it reading the sequel of the worst book of 2023😂

I hated fourth wing… but I believe she lined the last 20 pages with the sniffy dust because I will definitely be reading Iron Flame

You are hilarious 😂

@carolinesch. 8 ай бұрын

I gave fourth Wing like 3 stars, so then now I try to look up spoilers to see if I want to read the next one or not but every single one is about the Relationships and romance when all I wnat to know is some form of plot😂 The german Translation literally has almost 1000 pages....

fun fact: wild and wicked things is technically not a debut because francesca may has written other books under the name fran dorricott

@sarahdreger5031 8 ай бұрын

Love this i am also a fellow fourth wing hater. I preordered it as a 5 star expectation and its absolutely the worst romantasy I've read. terrible characters writing and world.

@rebeccamarsden2128 8 ай бұрын

You are gonna hate me but… my worst book of the year was The Writing Retreat. Sorry not sorry!!😂

can't trust you after seeing confessions on here. i so agree the rereading scenes from a different pov was boring but the payoff was worth it!

@jodieneary9960 8 ай бұрын

As someone who had fun with fourth wing (yes it’s total trash but so am I) don’t put yourself through iron flame. It’s not worth it for your sanity even if the video would be hilarious to watch.

The Drowning Woman on this list is so controversial yet so BRAVE like ma'am I hate to admit but there has not been a Robyn Harding story I've enjoyed YET.

i’ve had zero 5 stars, 20 two stars, and 5 one stars this year 💀 if that makes you feel better lmao the worst book has been midnight is the darkest hour 🥲

My worst book of the year is very cut and dry haha. My best book...not so much

@softkitty2553 8 ай бұрын

I thought for sure this was Sarah Shauer based on the thumbnail. But then I was perplexed that she was reading books and confused by the Australian accent. Then I realised it was an English accent.

@lilachoney8516 8 ай бұрын

I too like to pretend that Five Survive does not exist. Holly didn't write that one, it's a collective fever dream.

@rhyst124 8 ай бұрын

I read The Paris Apartment on holiday and - although slightly addictive - I found the editing throughout almost laughable... all the characters at some point are "sweaty" for some reason... for then Fowey? to list all her helping editors at the end of the novel as a thank you had me chuckling.

@saraackerman8019 8 ай бұрын

My worst book of the year was Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris. I would have dnf'd it but I was on vacation. I also didn't like Poppy War. And had I finished it, The Ex Hex would have been a 1 star for me.

@athenasbibliotheca8099 8 ай бұрын

I must have missed the video where you read Stephanie Plum! I am up to like the 23rd book. I know they are trash, but I have such a fun time when I read them that it's okay with me. 😄 I read Song like Silver, Flame like Night this year and I was really disappointed by it. Most of that disappointment is possibly because I liked the cover so much, but the story was just so boring to me. Stuff was happening, and I just didn't care.
