Lemme reiterate: I do NOT tolerate toxic positivity.
DNF’d a book? Gimme deets!
Hated a book? Tell me!
Wrote a scathing review? Link it!
Posting negative content is not “being mean.” It means you’re thinking critically & recognizing harmful content (& sometimes just plain, shitty writing).

All the episodes are on there or will be on there (moving some over from soundcloud) all free of charge to listen to. I riff on bad horror, like a poor man's Rifftrax/MST3K lol
Perfect to only half listen to while doing other things.
I just feel like they rushed hell out of the editing process on the second book and it really bothers me.
Herman Melville’s Moby Dick is one such book. I am choosing this one because it should not offend anyone!
Also, DNF away! Life’s too short to read bad books! 😄
Which, seems to happen--as anger is the easiest emotion to fake to appear authentic to audiences
Just a reoccurring hazard that I keep seeing people crash right into
Story is all over the place. Writing style is very poor.
No clue how this author became so popular. Wife keeps telling me “it will get good”. I’m already 70% through the book LOL
I will die on this hill
Ignoring the obvious imprinting on a literal newborn problem, the whole self-harming tactics Bella used to "see" Edward, his and Jacob's stalker behavior, (cont.)
Just needed to know how it ended.
As for my reviews, I still doubt my book is any good
It can’t decide on a genre, & it’s not even a best seller in Kirkcaldy
People say it’s okay, but if it was, then why are my sales in Antarctica = zero
That’s like a whole continent where nobody is reading it

And fourth wing was so boring! I stopped at 4 cause nothing was happening.
I keep trying to read ACOTAR and am told I just need to get to the 2nd book. What the fuck kind of plan is that, where I have to tolerate a (really long, btw) book to get to the better 2nd one? That’s dumb.
After by Anne Todd.
Talk about a toxic relationship with one of the most horrible badboys and one of the worst FMC's ever.
Yes I will judge people who love these kinds of books.
Last book I DNF was The London Seance Society by Sarah Penner.
So much promise, so much drivel. It was worse than the worst fanfic you've ever read. I would be fine and awake and it bored me so much I would fall asleep no matter time of day.
Everyone was losing it over these books.
Nope, I couldn't make it beyond the first chapter on either one.
ACOTAR killed me specifically because I was raised in a hunting family, and none of that mess in the first chapter made sense. This is what they mean when they say, "Write what you know."
Book one of ACOTAR is not good. I kept reading it because i was reassured it would improve. Book 2 is better than 1, and 3 is better than both. Ive not read 4 or 5.
I think a lot of people just love things because it’s the in thing at that time. 😆😭
Twilight got me into reading 😆😭
2014 and my friend gave me her book to read and I thought it was the silliest thing. But then I read it and I loved it haha.
A lot of ppl laugh but I love me some Twilight haha
Now it’s not going to go down as the best writing in history, but it’s enjoyable. Probably the only series I love that doesn’t have a lot of spice haha
And the movies are fun too. When I’m depressed I turn them on
Not gonna lie, I was mad about it… lesbian necromancers in space?? I wanted to love it so badly. 😭
I think the strong feelings about it come from my friends saying how great the series was. It... wasn't.
Positive feedback still helps but is usually used to feed someone's ego.
Oh, books.
Ok, I can agree with that.
I mean....don't be mean while giving those details, but it's very much important to say what did and didn't do it in a work ^^
I will definitely post some books I hated soon!
I’ve not read WTMH, but there are a handful of negative takes on booktok, believe it or not.
Me, I will tell the truth. I can absolutely adore an author but if their book wasn’t that good, I will rate it accordingly.
Thank you. I feel better now...
