guessing our fav books based on their worst reviews

What's up, readers?
Have you ever taken the time to read one-star reviews of your favorite books? Well, neither had we... until now. We turned it into a game to help distract from the pain of hearing some of these harsh words lol.
We had a lot more reviews to read, but we didn't want the video to be an hour and a half. Maybe we'll revisit this challenge later. Thanks for watching!

Another fun and fantastic video! I look forward to your videos each week!

[@andtheywerereaders]

That's so kind! Thanks so much for watching!

[@themusicsnob]

This was a really fun and creative concept 😊

[@andtheywerereaders]

Thank you!!!

[@DogEaredMusings]

So fun!!

[@justink5000]

Lol after the first review, I instantly thought of Brandon Sanderson 😭😭 He really does have an aggravating writing style. The worst thing is, you try to push through because everyone says the endings are eye opening, only to find out that in reality it's a lukewarm, half-baked ass conclusion.

[@andtheywerereaders]

Oh no! Haha I was thinking about attempting to peek into the Cosmere, and I just bought Tress of the Emerald Sea - so I’ll guess I’ll find out soon enough - Jon

[@justink5000]

@@andtheywerereaders he has so many fans that there must definitely be somethinf about him that I just don't get. Looking forward to seeing what you will think about it 🤗

[@asliyase]

Cool consept!

[@andtheywerereaders]

Thanks! It was fun!

[@azu_rikka]

I love reading 1☆ reviews of my favourite reads- you two raised it to another level, which was hilarious to watch!

[@andtheywerereaders]

haha tbh it was funny to read some of them. might have to do it more often

[@renee1292]

Very fun idea! It surely is heartbreaking when someone trashes a book or author you love but I'm sure I've done the same.

[@andtheywerereaders]

some are more devastating than others lol. But you're right... we def have our authors we dislike that people love!

[@TheMarketplaceofideas1979]

Love the energy of you guys,even for books that may not get great reviews.

[@andtheywerereaders]

Aw thanks so much!

[@josmith5992]

I like that this shows we can all have very different opinions about books and yes, it hurts our hearts our little when someone slates something we love😢. You two are troopers though, any of the losing drinks would have taken me out for hours 😂

[@andtheywerereaders]

Absolutely! We love unique book opinions. We definitely did not feel like troopers haha, but we appreciate it!

[@tealorturquoise]

That was fun! I love how you both come up with ideas for videos that are different from the normal booktube video.

[@andtheywerereaders]

Haha thanks! we do our best!

[@incandescent.glow.]

THIS WAS SO FUN TO WATCH!!! really cheered me up after a hard day 🤍

[@andtheywerereaders]

Sorry you had a hard day. Happy we could make it a little better

[@enmodelivres]

Such a fun concept !

[@austind2967]

This was a fun video! I’m so glad I saw your channel recommended from Shawnaci!

[@andtheywerereaders]

Thanks for trusting Shawnaci and checking us out! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@samantharose1001]

This reminded me so much of OG Booktube content and I had a great time !!

[@andtheywerereaders]

Love that! Thanks for being here!

[@ggardner5784]

Great video! Reading A Little Life rn and loving it so far!

[@andtheywerereaders]

One of my fav books ever. Definitely not for everyone though - Jon

[@WhyNot-WhyNott]

Oh my gosh at the beginning of this video I was thinking I don’t know how they’re going to make it through. lol 😂enjoyed it as always ❤

[@andtheywerereaders]

haha it was definitely a struggle! Thanks for watching!

[@janinejohnson1898]

Fun video !♥️☮️

[@MemphisJones]

That was a lot of fun to watch.

[@andtheywerereaders]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching

[@YourTrueShelf]

Omg guys you are the best 😂 This was genius! Worcester sauce?! 😂😂 Great game. I got Claudia Piñero, but the wrong book. Someone called Caleb Azumah Nelson's writing immature?! You were so respectful of these comments, I applaud you for that. I think we were all 🙄😳🙄😳 at one in particular!!! I laughed out loud a lot 💛

[@andtheywerereaders]

Super happy you enjoyed it! haha some reviews were definitely interesting. Appreciate the continued support!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

This was so fun and creative! I would not be able to consume that much vinegar… I love reading 1 star reviews, they’re so ridiculous even if they are a bit painful 😳😂

[@andtheywerereaders]

honestly, regrets on consuming the amount of vinegar we did!!

[@MLLatUtube]

Fun idea!

[@user-gh8cz8rw4k]

This video made me laugh out loud several times. Pretty standard for all of your videos. Btw, milk and vinegar makes ricotta cheese-lol!

[@andtheywerereaders]

haha happy you enjoyed it. I, however, did not enjoy making ricotta cheese in my stomach haha

[@TimeTravelReads]

That was fun. Maybe if you do it again, you can just do rewards for guessing correctly so you don't get nauseous.

[@andtheywerereaders]

Good idea. If we do it again, I plan not to lose any lol - Jon

[@prettyinpink9893]

As a black woman who feels Thick was a transformative book for me… damn

[@andtheywerereaders]

And as a brown girl who read this a few years ago, I felt incredibly seen. I am still shocked by that review 😳
