the lowest rated books i've read (according to goodreads)

[@myronemmaturner]

Yes please do this as a series!

[@HaileyinBookland]

willlll do!!! 🥰

[@jaxxhadesdaughter779]

Try Storygraph! It's basically Goodreads but has more visual charts and it also allows you to rate .25-5.75. You can add content warnings and moods. It was also created by a woman of color. You can even import your Goodreads library on a computer. I also haven't that many bugs or crashes.

[@jeffreygao3956]

But it can’t rearrange reviews in certain orders and the reviews for Dinosaur Lords is unacceptably low. Pass!

[@17caria]

I thought the first book was going to be "Pride and Prejudice" and I was like, "What??"😅

[@aubreyisaacson2065]

I love your videos!!! You should read the highest and lowest rated books on your tbr!

[@bookwormchats]

Can you do one for higher rated books and if you agreed or not?

[@lawrencesrl822]

U should totally do more videos on ratings because there really fun to compare to my own ratings and just to see what others think of certain books

[@miraculouslyscatterbrained]

I agree with the betrothed in every way. On that “dramatic” scene I litterly skimmed it kinda annoyed by how many pages were left….

[@emilydelurio4723]

This was such a fun video to watch! You should definitely do this as a series 😊

[@psychedbypat]

This is such a cool and interesting concept! Would love to see you do more of these videos ❣

[@txdave]

Love this video!!! I think a lowest rated vs highest rated tbr vlog would be sooo fun!

[@Cmoore-Books]

Yes please! A series on this would be wonderful. 🥰

[@kattystock]

After Alice I gave 2 stars when I read it. I listened to it so the language didn't bother me but I believe if you physically read it I would have DNFd it. But yeah having got to the end the way I put it was that Alice had Adventures and Ada had Wanderings. Just no plot. And to back that up, I read it 1.5 years ago and can't remember it at all.

[@HaileyinBookland]

I also listened to the audio, that's a good point!

[@caitlynprice9501]

I'd love to see this same video but with the highest rated books you've read!

[@georgiefarr1094]

I read The Selection series by Kiera Cass back in 2019, which I enjoyed and if I can rate the series, I would give a 3.5 stars. And I never continued reading her other books because I'm not bothered about it xx

[@ibrahimlovesblink]

are u girl or trans?

[@cnrt7835]

I was so. Excited for the selection, but i really didn't enjoy reading it the writing was just not my style, and I was gutted cos I thought I'd love it

[@georgiefarr1094]

@@cnrt7835 I feel like the first three books should of stayed as they are instead of bringing out the last two books and I didn't like the last two books 😶

[@ibrahimlovesblink]

ur pic is so pretty

[@mermaden1100]

I have read the series called the water song first book is called wake I like the first two in the series but not like the third one. I’m still trying to read the 4 the book called elegy. It’s the longest in the series it’s a mermaid mythology supernatural romance fantasy. I really recommend it if you like mermaids they are sirens in it I hope you would like it.

[@mermaden1100]

I did DNF a book I was in 56 pages into it I couldn’t focus good on the book so it was really long 542 pages and the book is called elegy by Amanda Hocking. But I did try I love the first two in the series’s.

[@mandyd2h530]

Completely agree on Pride Prejudice and Mistletoe & Kind of a Big Deal! I hated Wicked too and a coworker told me it was her favorite book so I guess that one is divided. Would love a video series on this theme.

[@onahi2025]

I literally don't understand the Goodreads app either

[@lisajuliabakker5177]

Love these kind of videos!

[@kellyreadingbooks]

“A disappointment Sundae with sleeping pills on top” and then your reaction to that comment was EVERYTHING 😂😂

[@bridgetg3985]

have you heard of StoryGraph? great alternative to good reads

[@stellangios]

I don't like that I can't tell what kind of information they want to gather or what all else besides recommendations it's for without signing up. I wouldn't mind an alt to Goodreads as long as I can port my books over, but I don't need recs and that's all it seems to be for. What's better about it?

[@emmal7510]

Haven't read most of these, but I remember bouncing off Gregory Maguire's writing when I tried one of his books. I remember liking Castle of Otranto, but it's been a few decades. Teen me wasn't the most critical of readers.

[@pardonthisbookaddict]

Shannon Hale’s The Princess in Black series is very good. And I love the humor in Austenland.

[@random23287]

I don't mind when people rate books that I love low ratings, but I hate it when they do that and then in the review it's clear that the reasons they think it's a bad book aren't just because it wasn't personally for them (or they don't acknowledge that) and think that there's some like "objective" wrong things. Especially when those wrong things are really unreasonable to me. Like there was this one contemporary with high school age characters and someone wrote a scathing review about how "immature" and "stupid" the characters were when that's literally the point.

[@ruby7706]

i agree! i find this often among works written by BIPOC authors and queer/disabled authors with queer/disabled BIPOC main protag. I remember reading the Fifth Season by NK Jemisin and went to read the reviews and boy, oh boy, it was filled with "i cant believe the child - who is traumatised after witnessing her dad killed his son/her baby brother - is so immature and unlikeable!!" im like.. are we not reading the same book? ur rly gonna rate a book lower because of THAT?

[@dominiquedoutre2804]

I also like Real Men Knit, thank you for letting me know about Knot again

[@sapphirebre]

So I really liked Wicked and Mirror, Mirror by Gregory Maguire, but couldn’t stand anything else I read of his. For a while, I had mistakenly thought his were the only fairy tale retellings, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found much better ones lol

[@ibrahimlovesblink]

i love ur books also u looks so pretty in the video!

[@debbieberens2130]

Have you read Daughter of the Moon Goddess, by Sue Lynn Tan cause I'm struggling with it.

[@fightandreadlikeagirl]

I would love to see you react to negative views to your favorite books

[@lemoncop6284]

You probably already know about this, but StoryGraph is a great Goodreads alternative ;)

[@rambleonrunaway9144]

Yeees!! Storygraph is so much better in so many ways!

[@amritasengupta5251]

Don't be afraid to offend people. If you hate a book , then you hate a book. Your audience should grow the hell up .

[@meghanreynolds3564]

OMG the app is SO buggy!! I love Goodreads but you're absolutely correct. Take all ratings with a grain of salt.

[@jeffreygao3956]

Except for my reviews.

[@BrebearMckae]

I recently unhauled after alice because I didn't remember much about it and when I tried to refresh my memory from reviews I remembered that the writing style was just not it for me, and also it felt kinda MEH. I wasn't pulled in at any point. also, since it was focused on time outside of wonderland, it took away some of the fun of wonderland for me. I love alice, but it didn't feel alice-y to me.

[@alyssalauren7133]

The Betrayed is definitely better than The Betrothed. It still is not that great, but the romance is better and I liked Hollis's character in it more.

[@claracoulson625]

Man, I haven't even heard of most of these books. Guess I know now why I don't see them around anywhere. 😶

[@iiisha864]

I guess it is out of context here, but love love your hair!!!!!!😍😍😍😍

[@GabrielaRincic]

It looks like I have been lucky with goodreads. Had been on it for 7 years and never had eny problems with it.

[@bookishmammabudgets]

Maybe you have covered this before but why do you no longer rate books on goodreads?

[@ElizabethNicoleSchwartz]

She's said previously that because it kinda puts too much pressure on her to actually settle on a rating.

[@shaunaXX]

I haven’t read after Alice but I generally cannot stand Gregory maguires writing style from when I read wicked (which put me in a 3 month reading slump and made me fail my own readathon)so I probably won’t get around to it ever. Ironically I really like Alice in wonderland when I read it but it has been like 12-14 years cuz I read it when I was in primary school

[@concertjunkie973]

My lowest is a cozy mystery , strawberry cream cupcake and murder with 3.33 rating

[@HarvestLockwood]

I rated Castle of Otranto 5 stars because it was gothic horror trash and I loved it so much LMAO. EDIT: The plot made no sense and every woman in the book was fainting every two seconds and it was just ridiculous and I had a great time reading it.

[@HaileyinBookland]

that is very very fair LOL it was definitely entertaining!

[@Meimisaki2001]

The lowest rated book that I read is My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallent. I can see why as it is very graphic and disturbing but I found it amazing and so beautifully written. It was a 5 star for me.

[@thewitchyreader6131]

Great video!

[@ericagoehring1089]

My husband is an English professor, and he loves teaching Alice in Wonderland. Students have very strong reactions in either direction!

[@poisonedyoyo]

Not every book has redeemalbe qualities. Here's an example, The Ones We're Meant to Mind, absolutely disgusting book, and it was very unfun even BEFORE it revealed the disgusting part. Also falsely advertised on Booktube.

[@NapaCat]

'The Ones We're Meant to Find'?

Oh god I hated kind of a big deal when I read it 😂😂
