thank you so much for watching 🦋

I will NEVER forgive the booktok girlies for saying that Colleen Hoover was the “modern day Jane Austen”

[analyn]

Honestly love how the entire time she's ranting about Breaking Dawn you can see the whole Twilight series on the shelf behind her.

[lilahbaz]

i have a working theory that huge fans of colleen hoover have never read a good fanfic on ao3 in their life

[Juneau]

half of the books being Collen hoover is hilarious. I have no idea how that person even fathoms publishing whatever the hell she writes about.

I love how confident you are to say your negative opinions about popular books. You're so right about these, my gosh. How are some of these so popular???😭😭😭

[junpi]

The horrific implications if Bella chose Jacob and ended up giving birth to that one egg he was obsessed with...

[mintkookie]

Wattpad girl here 👋 can confirm that there are DEFINITELY better wattpad fics than those books in that tier 😂

I will never get enough of Hannah tearing up shitty books

[taschabalafas]

I read Ugly Love in March of this year and still have not picked up a book since because it put me in that bad of a reading slump.

[auroraa.writes]

It’s so refreshing seeing books that are typically SO largely advertised all over booktok being talked about in a negative manner. You really are a hidden booktuber gem and I love watching these videos <3

Hannah being a hater = I’m gonna laugh till my stomach hurts (fyi her sense of humour is always on fire as a hater)

[whereisowl]

rebecca yarros' ignorance about scottish gaelic, the minority language she chose to pull direct words from to use in her book, is enough for that to go straight to jail for me. she called it the wrong language and wildly mispronounced every word when asked about them, and said they were right bc that's how *she* wants it to be said like girl... those are words that exist in a real language that you are using, she clearly has zero respect for that. she's not the only author that's done this, not even the first to do it w scottish gaelic, but she's still on my personal shit list for that lmfao

"Fourth Wing" was right to the deepest, darkest jail for me! I can't even begin!!! It was interesting to hear your opinions on everything. There is a new wave of readers that are beginning to notice an increasing change in the publishing industry. The term I hear going around is "fast fashion" but referring to books, I guess? Anyways, it's a noticeable difference where now there are on sight spelling errors, bad scenes, writing, character development, or even similar scenes from other books (near plagiarism), but to push out the book, it's overlooked. The stories aren't as deep, emotional or even remotely linking with the readers that wanted a GOOD story, and for those seeking that world-diving experience, they are struggling. For authors trying to put out a name, it's difficult with fast fashion books swarming social media. But anywhooos, thanks for another fantastic video, Hannah! <3

I discovered this channel when I read a little life and hated it so violently that I actively searched for other people who hated it as much as I did ❣We’ve come full circle bestie

[unicornloverallroundupsidedown]

The way Hannah is my comfort YouTuber at this point

[adreamerontherun]

oh i love love when booktubers just right out say what they hate, it's so cathartic!! this was so fun to watch!

[Pokibean]

I read Verity because of booktook hyping Colleen up and well...i stopped reading for a good two years. 😭😭😭 Now I'm much more careful about book recommendations.

[ChessiZ]

The weird part of Fourth Wing is that I enjoy hate reading it??? It’s so predictable I’m just challenging myself to see how many things I can get right and it’s not hard. I got the last minute twist the first time the character was even mentioned because I’m pretty sure the author stole it from Red Queen.
I’m just having fun with it at this point.

[emmawilkinson]

One of my friends ONLY reads Colleen Hoover - refuses to read any other book - and it breaks my heart because there are so many good books out there. Or on Wattpad. Or AO3. Or in the trash can on the side of the road. And she won't take my suggestions to even try reading anything else that I have in my library THAT SHE DOESNT EVEN NEED TO PURCHASE. I might pass away.

What you said about Ugly Love was so damn satisfying. That book should not have been published and seeing the high ratings on Goodreads was such a surreal moment. I was like, we have not read the same book guys what…
