What are the worst books you've read in 2021?

[@lejlahrustemovic541]

Lore by Alex Bracken 🤷‍♀️

[@kristina_rr]

I dnf‘ed 10 books this year (yay me!) and one of the worst books was Flowers in the Attic. I couldn‘t even get 30% through it.

[@mplbooks]

Tried to read "Summer Sons" and just couldn't.

[@heysara910]

Weird story, apparently every Andrews book centers on incest, rape, or incestuous rape. I did not know this when I was 12 years old and the books were recommended to me by the seller at Barnes & Noble, and I bought the entire series and brought it home and about halfway through the first book I brought them to my parents and said you know what, I don’t think I should be reading this. A few years later I worked at another bookstore chain called Waldenbooks, and these were in the children’s section and I would routinely move them to the adult section and get in trouble for moving them, and also for telling parents that they should not buy them for their children! I feel like somebody should have checked on Miss Andrews to see if she was OK.

[@bookishpothos7649]

Seeing Flowers in the Attic appear in your list I'm reminded of a Reddit post I saw a while back about someone who was recommended it by their friend as very moving and only realising after finishing that they had gotten it mixed up with Flowers for Algernon. They must have been so confused reading it 😂

[@elizaearhart4533]

I can’t even omg. How do you even approach your friend about that?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Oh no 😂 flowers for algernon is amazing tho

[@bookishpothos7649]

Out of the thousands of unique ways to write a good plot twist, I will never forgive authors that end their book with the “it was all a movie” or “and then she woke up” vibe. Which is why my top worst book of 2021 was we were liars. So overrated & horrible writing & ending

[@Theblondebass1]

Hello Emily, I really miss your passionate worst books videos. I know you set yourself a goal to not push yourself to finish bad books, but can I just say I really miss them? :( They were so fun in 2017,2018! (shotout to Rainbow Rowell) Anyways, I am glad you had better reading this year and I look forward to watching more videos from you, nevermind the funny, bashing ones :)

[@renee_3364]

Completely agree on The Wise Mans Fear (kinda broke my heart since I really loved the first book), A History of What Comes Next and A Deadly Education. I had a trend with my worst books of the year being the "emotionally-manipulative-ones"; books that use tragedy and traumatic events just to get a reaction from the reader (e.g. A Little Life). I'm just really uncomfortable with the use of such topics in this way, and I feel the same about the-WWII-trope you mentioned. Maybe it's just this year for me, but I don't appreciate authors trying to manipulate my emotions I guess, haha.

[@Capernicus19]

I never read Flowers in the Attic but I remember it was on tv when I was a child and I watched it not knowing what it was...it traumatized me. Why anyone would write something that messed up I will never appreciate sorry.

[@nadeshkaholmes9511]

I read Flowers in the Attick a few years ago (I was old enough to read it, for the record), I was in shock. Still, I managed to read the second one and after that I was done. I decided I wouldn't torture myself. Months later I saw two movies based on the first and second book. I can't even... omg I wish I could erase them from my memory lol I was curious and I paid the price.

[@onedirectionloveren]

If I nod more in agreement at your opinion about flowers in the attic my head will fall off

[@SBrown-og3nr]

"I will be mentioning some spoilers, but when I get to those points...you can mute me or skip ahead." Nah, fam, we die like men .🤣🤣🤣 Worst books I've read: maybe The Duke & I by Julia Quinn? I've had a mostly decent reading year, tbh.

[@BohoBookworm]

THANK YOU! I'm so glad I'm not alone with how stupid the twist for Hostage was. It had no link to the rest of the book and came from no where. Made no sense and really annoyed me senseless!

[@wakeupem]

LOL I don't think my mother really knew what V.C. Andrews wrote about when I was reading them at 14/15/16. I think she was just happy I was reading something!

[@bookswithamymarie]

Love your Christmas lights! The worst book I read was probably Turkey Trot Murder by Leslie Meier... I would need several minutes to explain how frustrating that mystery read was.

[@MoJordanReads]

I ultimately ended up kind of liking A Deadly Education - in the sense that I do want to read the second one - BUT I did hate a lot about the book. It was exhausting and there was so much info dumping right in the middle of almost exciting moments. But please, please don't rule out Spinning Silver yet. It is sooooo different than A Deadly Education and I've heard that Uprooted has an overly toxic romance, so I have no plans to try it. But I really enjoyed Spinning Silver.

[@arya0553]

Emily, did you use a new brow pencil on this video? Your brows look different (but great😍). Also, could you please add your make-up of the video in the description box? I always want to know, which lipstick you‘re wearing🤣💜

I don't mind having to suspend my disbelief but there's a limit XD

[@wronggeometry]

Are you able to fully explain the spoilers please? I didn't understand what Emily was saying. Who married the kidnapper? Were they actually a kidnapper if it was all a film? So confused! Thanks in advance.

[@caitlynprice9501]

I'm one of those people who read Flowers in the Attic at a young age. My mom had me read it and another by VC Andrews (My Sweet Audrina) when I was about 11 and I was traumatized for a long time.

[@mplbooks]

I remember kids passing around a battered copy of "Flowers in the Attic" in high school, but I never read it.

[@junpi8562]

OMG Flowers In The Attic. That book is like a fever dream, I'm always surprised when it's mentioned and I remember it's real. If that was one of your worst books do not pick up any of the others. They fall into a crappy cookie-cutter pattern of the main female character being treated horribly by every man around her, and deserving it because she's a s*** who slept with her brother. At least the first one had a bit of originality, albeit in a rather unusual way... It gets very lazy and formulaic in a super misogynistic way after that.

[@devlyn873]

I read Flowers In The Attic when I was a preteen because it was recommended and I HATED it. Still one of the worst books I've ever read.

[@carlosvasquez9890]

My worst book of 2021: Believe it or not, it was Ken Follet's NEVER. Yes, you got it right: The book is so dumb and poorly researched, so amateurly written, so filled with utterly cartoonish characters and cringy dialogue, I suspect K.Follet didn't really wrote it. Please DO NOT take my word. Grab a copy (preferably at your local library or borrowed ¬¬), read it FULL (the first 400 pages are still readable....after that, the book falls apart completely) and see for yourself

[@oliwai1]

Love Follet, but agreed! Such a disappointment

[@dbookdragon]

Omg i hear you on Flowers in the Attic. I felt it was the most depressing book I have ever read. My mom told me it was the "Twilight" of her generation so I was really interested but it just disgusted me.

[@AdrianaLazar]

[@alexandrac2472]

Naomi Novik is my favorite author but yeah she's an acquired taste and not someone I recommend to everyone. I do wish that A deadly education had used footnotes or something for some of the world building because the info dumps slowed the pace.

[@TheKarinaChronicles]

I am never going to read Survive the Night... Everyone seems to be so extremely disappointed by the main character haha...

[@miralolar6069]

I have about 80 pages left of a deadly education. It was 💯 a cover buy. I kept thinking it would get better and that’s why I read so much and now I feel like 80 pages is manageable. Well, next year 😅 I don’t hate it but 🙎🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I only read 16 books this year so luckily… I got lucky 🥰

[@ktglick]

I liked A Deadly Education, but I think it’s just a matter of personal taste. With that kind of genre fiction it’s not exactly deep, so it just depends on how the characters and world building hit you. My least favorite books were Memoirs of a Geisha and One by One by Ruth Ware. Disappointing because I usually like her books.

[@nikkicas260]

I was introduced to VC Andrews by watching the movie first when I was 12. I never read the book but watching the movie I knew it was some odd, weird, abnormal stuff going on not to read the book for further details

[@jessabelle990]

Worst book I read this year was The Gilly Salt Sisters by Tiffany Baker. The writing was so incredibly bleak and depressing, and every character was either boring or just terribly unlikable.

How about favorite Novel Openings

[@StormReads]

Ahh I loved Every Last Fear...lol. It was one of my favorite Thrillers of the year.

[@insilencea4599]

I've heard the opinion, which I think has something to be said for it, that Rothfuss should have released the stories in Wise Man's Fear as separate novellas or short stories. People would have been more satisfied with them in that context (except for the statutory rape bit) and he would have had two books in which to advance the actual plot instead of one. I put it down to an inexperienced author not knowing how to pace and no one telling him otherwise. But we'll see what happens with the final book.🤷

[@jkpiowa]

I'm so relieved to hear someone else dislikes Naomi Novik. Everyone on booktube seems obsessed with her and I find her writing just awful.

[@nightleopard13]

So Naomi Novik does write well...you just read her two worst books. I think my favorite from her is her Temeraire series, it's basically the French-American war but with dragons. So if you're not into military fantasy then I wouldn't bother, but it was my introduction into that sub-genre.

[@thereses8790]

Worst book I read this year was The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah… what a slog. I can’t understand all the hype.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Oh no really? I'm not big on historical fiction but I was considering picking that one up!

[@thereses8790]

@@BookswithEmilyFox I mean, I read it quite quickly but DNF’d after about 2-300 pages. I’m a mood reader and I wasn’t in the mood for how depressing it was at the time- so it could have been that too. I just found the main character irritated me so much. Good luck if you do venture into it!

[@Theblondebass1]

My worst was Tiger's curse by Colleen Houck, to the heart break of 14 year old me, and Stain by ag Howard

[@SteveCadman]

I think this might be the first time I've disagreed with you. I really enjoyed 'A History of What Comes Next' and thought the audiobook version production was particularly good. I still haven't managed to pick up 'Wise mans fear ' after seeing your review.

I don't think I've had that many dislike books this year (not that many amazing reads either though, lots of 3 or 4 stars), but some very meh ones. Probably The Halloweed Tree by Ray Bradbury, I just could not get into it at all (thankfully it was short). And I'm reading Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World right now, and I think that will be a pretty meh read overall too. SO many just... terrible lines. Can't tell if my tastes just changed that much since I read the first book, or if this one is actually just worse.

[@LilianaE]

As someone who enjoys Riley Sager's books, quite a bit more than you, even I hated Survive the Night! There was nothing redeemable about it! And the end just made everything worse! I will definitely be more apprehensive going into his next book, cause yeah, I'm probably gonna read it anyway. Lol

[@danielleoliver1734]

The fairy sex chapters in Wise Mans Fear is to remind you that Kvothe is narrating his own life so it’s an unreliable narrator. At least that’s how I choose to view it, there’s no other reason

[@dornesque]

A History of What Comes Next was one of the worst books I've read this year as well. The writing style made it hard to get through it. I won't bother with the next installment or even with Neuvel's other books. I didn't enjoy A Deadly Education very much but the ending piqued my curiosity (I fall into this kind of trap so easily). so I guess I'll give it another chance by reading the 2nd book haha

[@hopestarr9869]

[@christinacampbellbooks]

I've also had a pretty bad year for thrillers. I've been disappointed by so many. I can count on one hand how many I actually really enjoyed this year! I'm definitely not reading Survive the Night. His books are just getting worse and worse, like you say. And I think I'm officially done with him as an author, haha.

[@Marie45610]

The worst book I read this year was Better Together, I got an ARC from NetGalley, and there was a lot wrong with it. The plot was a mess, the writing was a mess... the characters who are supposed to be in their 20s act like they're 12... I hated it so much.

[@sofiaf2928]

I liked Spinning Silver even less than Uprooted so I really doubt that you’ll like it

Thank you! I enjoyed Spinning Silver while I read it, but the ending left a bad taste in my mouth *spoiler* both female leads end up married and working on a romance with the man who abused them the entire book as if this is supposed to be a happy ending….what??!?!

[@ManEatingTeddyBear]

I actually like A Deadly Education... but there are parts of the book I can see why you'd hate it. I actually tried to read Spinning Silver and DNF'd it, so you're probably good not picking it up. My worst books are: The Ex Hex (why is this recommended everywhere I don't understand???), The Ones We're Meant To Find (the cover fooled me into thinking this would be good), The Maidens (so, so dumb), What We Devour (just... I question why it exists...), The Keeper of Night (IT COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD AND IT WASN'T AND I'M MAD), Nice Girls (it's a debut novel, so I feel bad about including it, but it just made NO SENSE and I hated reading it), and The Bone Season (out of all the books here, this was like.... the least worst, but it still was not for me at all).

[@thiadesg]

I think I have to pick Assassin's Fate as the worst book I've read this year. After liking 4 series, that last one in the Realms of the Elderlings was crap.

[@booknerd369]

I am a die hard Riley Sager fan so I’m going to disagree lol. But, I listened to the audiobook in the dark home alone so I think that made it better. I will say that the ending was lackluster compared to his other books. Also, I liked every book I read this year. I originally disliked the YA Babysitter’s Coven book, but then saw the sequel at the library and then got hooked and bought the final one that came out in September lol 😂

A shout out to Sarah J Maas??? 2021 is crazy 😅 For me, Sorcery of Thorns was THE worst by far. I wanted to give the author a 2nd chance (hated the first one) but no, her books are clearly not for me, and then of courses Midnight Sun. I got a few more but more than hate, I was disappointed (Once Upon a River, The Spanish Love Deception, The Lost Book of the White, Get a Life, Chloe Brown)

[@vataidalma6855]

Unquestionably, the worst book I've read this year was Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. It was not the plot, which was interesting, it was the main character, who annoyed me to almost chucking my phone with the audiobook at a wall.

[@BooksWithJudy]

My worst books so far are Legendborn, The Maidens and A Deadly Education. Those stuck out as bad to me. Just not for me. But The Maidens is just really really bad. while the others is probably really just up to personal taste

I hate how so many male authors write such shitty and dumb femme characters! I don't know one femme who would willingly go into a strange man's car. I also hate when male authors write r**e in books because often times it's written like a r**e fantasy or as a pivotal moment of growth for a character as opposed to a crime. I'm glad you also share the thought of disliking sex scenes in books. I don't know they always seem to make me uncomfy when the author starts describing a dick. Like it throws off the whole mood for me 😂

[@aliarobinson6617]

I gave survive the night five stars. I loved it.

[@suzy8109]

I listened to the audio book of "survive the night" and enjoyed it actually. However some of the twists were contrived (like the bf keeping the teeth in his car glove compartment). Yes, it was a movie ... but based on her true story. And why should it be a problem it being a movie for you people who read and love fantasies. And the guy she married was not her "kidnapper"... She entered and returned to his car 3 times of her own free will. I liked the ending.
