Reading Books Based on 1 Star Reviews ⭐🚫😬

[@zahreads]

They way you and Kayla (booksandlala) need to do a tbr swap is baffling. Like y'alls taste in weird lit fiction type books is identical. I LOVE it!

[@sarahunabridged]

When I see Kayla and Riley both give something 5 stars it’s an instant add to cart. Don’t even have to go through the library bc I already know it’s a keeper

[@NeonFrills]

I'm cackling at "chick porn" and "crazy bitches". Sounds like the perfect book LOL. The way you describe The Book of the most precious substance being like Bunny is a really good way to pin down the vibe... will definitely check it out! I love your more inventive reading vlogs, they are always so fun and interesting!!

[@CheyeW13]

this is exactly why i love unhauls and rant reviews, because people get more creative or have more fun when they're describing minute things they didn't like, and if those topics or tropes etc don't bother me - or if i even like them - it gets me excited to read the book theyre dunking on lol

[@hannahblackwellbooks]

When I see 1 star reviews about a fantasy book that has "no plot" and/or "nothing happens" I instantly add that book to my tbr lolol

[@holabooks]

All those one star reviews sounded really good to me too 😅

[@aerynsun8273]

I loved The Dead Romantics! Ashley Poston said it was a reylo fic, I actually signed up for a Barnes & Noble virtual author interview with her but turned it off after she started to talk about how it’s reylo because I didn’t want that to change my rating! 😂

[@goloveyourself2]

Who is reylo? 😅

[@candyhyojung1860]

@@goloveyourself2 kylo ren and rey from the star wars sequels

[@catchats]

the crazy bitches goodreads shelf sent me

[@mymixedtape]

Feel like I need to find that shelf and read them all 😂

[@ma.i.166]

Already had The Dead Romantics in my tbr. And I might have added The book of the most precious substance as well. Oh well!!

[@WrestlingwithBooks]

Hilarious concept for a reading vlog!!

[@zombiebloop]

the review for the most precious substance had me laughing so hard please

[@PunkyDory80]

Love this! I actually follow people on goodreads because we have opposite tastes 😂 Maybe The Dead Romantics reviewer was thinking of The Love Hypothesis lol

[@KristinKravesBooks]

I love this idea and great proof that one star reviews can introduce someone to a book they will love!!

[@SantReads]

what a great time for you! love that you got 4 and 5 star books from someone else's 1 star. just goes to show someone's garbage is someone else's treasure. 😂

[@Showtunediva]

I loved The Dead Romantics!❤

[@zoeann386]

Halloween Boo is another Just Like Heaven book! Such a fun novella

[@MoJordanReads]

I looooove this concept! And your reactions to those reviews were hilarious. So glad all of these books were wins for you! Definitely hope to see a part 2 :D

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

I don't know why but the way you describe this precious substance book, it reminds me of the movie the Ninth Gate. 😅 One of my favorite 90s movie.

[@gabbyreads]

Omg I love the idea of this video!!! Some one star reviews really crack me up and that’s such a fun way to discover new books haha I love it 🤣🥰 I also really enjoyed The Family Game and The Dead Romantics!

[@xgirlwiththebassx]

You should totally read "you made a fool of death with your beauty" by Akwaeke Emezi 👀

[@bts_vinyl]

Well now I'm super intrigued by The Book of the Most Precious Substance!

[@riankoch9126]

You could probably say that Ben’s grandma was Carrie Fisher cuz she passed and they still had her in the movies making plot movies. Also the ex is totally AJ Finn

[@amandajune97]

OMG Im so excited that you picked up the book of the most precious substance!! I read it this year and LOVED it and I’m so glad you did too !! Also I read woman, eating this year and I totally agree that if you liked one then you’ll like the other. I need more book recs like those lmaooo

[@emmahope4864]

hearing abt the reylo fic book is making me need this book rn literally need it now

[@isabellaa.469]

i already had the book of the most precious substances on my tbr but now i really reaaaaally want to read the dead romantics!!! I'm so in the mood for a cute romance and i think ghost romance is a new discovered type of book i really enjoy. idk if it makes sense but i was also thinking about under the whispering door when you were talking about the longing for touch between the characters and the grief element!

[@dianagarcia4494]

I loved The Dead Romantics!!! It’s unique and sweet 🤍

[@amelieromanticreader]

Such a great video with a very good conclusion. This was really entertaining and I'm glad you read so many books you loved.

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

riley and the father in law trope 😂

[@micheledarouni]

A never ending love story 😂😂

[@lexikenz]

I’ll admit I side eyed the book when I read The Family Game and got to the FIL part, but only because as a romance reader I thought we might be getting a little something, which seemed unlikely. Also that review of The Book of Most Precious Substance has me intrigued (and the shelves are hilarious) 😂

[@thecraftyveronicareads]

This was a great video!! Please continue to do these videos. I’ve been wanting to pick up The Dead Romantics.

[@readem_blog]

This was such a great and creative vlog!!! I absolutely need to read The Dead Romantics now!!

[@silviabernuzzi2753]

The Dead romantics was a Reylo fic???? Now I'm even more interested lol

[@carlymichelle5045]

Your videos make my days better ❤

[@holabooks]

You sold me on The Book of the Most Precious Substance 🙈

[@briannabythebooks]

This is such a fun idea

[@AFrolicInTheTomesxx]

Lol I don’t like romance so I wouldn’t say I love the FIL trope…. But like…. Idk I love drama and weird taboo stuff so I instantly wanna know the tea based off that review lol.

[@mirnatius]

If they liked the book, why would they lower their rating just bcs the book could’ve been a fanfic??? Weird behavior. 🤧

[@NoaJasmine]

i gave The Family Game the same rating and The Dead Romantics is one I think could be a 5 star read for me!

[@jenn_co1809]

What a great video idea! Loved it

[@lanej.6458]

It’s hilarious that the first person quit because of the FIL trope and it’s not even a romance, it’s just the tiniest bit of the plot I’m sure lol. Edit to say that clearly I was incorrect after listening to you give more of what the synopsis is. 😂

[@blackcatseye22]

Sara Gran sounds like what I wanted Hellraiser to be.

[@Angela41541]

the sex book one sounds so much like The Club Dumas [if you saw a Johnny Depp/Roman Polanski 1999 film The Ninth Gate that's the book it's based on]. so if you liked this you might like this book/film as well

[@lexsshelf]

Haha, I love this!! Great video!

[@crystaldanker8031]

Loved this!!! Do more of these😀😀

[@ReadAndThrift]

That person who didn’t finish the family game should’ve kept going. Yes there was a page or so of her talking about her father in law but to me it was important to the story but also had nothing to do with the story 😂 that makes no sense but it’s just too bad that person stopped because of that. Also omg yes why wouldn’t you listen to the whole fricken tape all at once?! That was so frustrating. **Spoiler! *And am I the only one who didn’t think that what she did in her past was that bad? I mean I know she unalived someone but like hello trauma?! 😂 I read it and I was like oh that’s it?

[@wendyvilla2904]

💚🖤

[@kipolem53]

Giving a book five stars doesn't automatically make it a favorite book of the year.

[@Sexigoddessgurl]

What does Ray lo fic mean?

[@sofiasamou]

Reylo is a ship from Star Wars
