You are definitely the best booktuber. Totally agree with all this.

[NakiasHideaway]

Ouch, Tori! This hurt. 🙉🙈😄
Our tastes are so different and I love it! Your worst books are some of my best. 😉
But everything you said in this video made sense. And I knew Book of Night would be on this list. I still enjoyed our buddy read though! 😁

[tysbookcorner]

Oh no you hurt me with Mickey 7 I really enjoyed that one! I picked it up because the first time you talked about it, it sounded so good so thank you for that LOL but I ABSOLUTELY agree with Book of Night I couldn’t even make it through!!

[GabrielTheMagolorMain]

Just wanted to say I barely read sci fi or fantasy, but I love your channel. Sometimes it’s just cool to hear about books and stories, even if I might not read them. Thank you for your thoughtful reviews!

Haven’t read Hidden Pictures yet, but I’ve seen it as pretty divisive. I’d say I’m shocked it won the Goodreads Horror for 2022, but I’m also not happy with a lot of how those awards go. Jeanette McCurdys win makes the most sense. The author of Hidden Pictures was involved with the Miss Peregrines Peculiar Children series. I think he did the pictures, I can’t remember exactly. At first I thought that was cool, but as I see more negative reviews I wonder if it’s not, and he got ahead of himself by writing a novel. But then again there were lots of people who loved it, so good for him, there’s books for everyone. I bought it though and I really wish I would’ve just checked it out from my library, I usually don’t get swept up in hype. But that cover, the excitement, I purchased it without thinking.

Oh god book of Night was just NOTHING. It was empty. It gave us blank space 🙃🙃

[Herstory]

Oh no! I’ve been looking forward to reading Book of Night 😅

[LifeasMonae]

I’ve seen Hidden pictures on so many worst of the year…let me take this off my wishlist

[audreyapproved]

I was also really disappointed by Mickey7. Cool idea, but all the different storylines made the plot feel super slow and that ending was so incomplete. I def aren't going to continue with this series but I'll be interested to see the movie adaptation from Bong Joon-Ho (the same director that did Parasite)

[classicsed]

Least favorite was A Thousand Ships. It's the book that made me finally accept that I can't be reading Greek myth retellings 😬

[mariareadsssf]

While I had a few misses woth some books this year, the worst by far was "The Phantom of the Opera. I dont want to use harsh words when it is about books, but I'll have to say I hated that one. The only reason I pushed through it was because of a buddy read. But I've learned my lesson. DNF is a option.

[AdrianasWonderland]

fortunately i havent read any of this... thank you for the video tough!

[brooke]

Ruination was not for me. I DNF'd it early on. Reviews say you don't have to know LoL to enjoy the book, but I think you do? It seemed to me, to be written for fans already familiar with the characters and world.

[angelamccollister]

Totally agree with you about Engines of Empire except my least favorite character was the oldest son. He was such a fool, but then, all the characters were insufferable.

[PersonallyOptimistic]

There is something within me that loves hearing the negative reviews most .

[whatevanreads]

Totally agree with you on Hidden Pictures. The first half had me so engrossed and then it went downhill with Mallory really annoying me lol don't even get me started on the fact that book won the Best Horror/Thriller Goodreads award...

[britwww]

I think the adaptation of Mickey7 will be good but my expectations are very, very low considering the…source material 😬

[ripstick]

Bro I Hidden Pictures, it’s easily the second worse book I read (first place goes to The House Across The Lake by Riley Sager 😂)

[angelaholmes]

Here's my list of worst books of this year
1. Toll the hounds
2. Reapers gale
3. From a Buick 8 by Stephen king
4. Husband material by alexis hall
5. The bone orchard
6. Cell by Stephen king
7. The war of two queens by Jennifer l armentrout
8. Rythm of war by Brandon Sanderson

[AbiofPellinor]

My worst is The Pillars of the Earth. Not here for the graphic rape scenes and sexism thanks

[andrewf]

My worst book of the year is King of Ashes by Raymond Feist. Combination of derivative & boring plot and horrible & stereotypical characters. One of the worst fantasy books I've ever read. My least favorite 2022 release is tied between Dead Silence/The Hacienda. That might be an unpopular opinion but I think both books are terrible.
