Hello, Dema
and Leah and Katie - My queens, my one and only, my inspiration
My ones who blackmail me to include them in this video.
These books to me are like when you first start to try something new in terms of food
So you take a bite and it tastes a bit peculiar and you go
"Mmm..Hmm, maybe I'll like it a bit more?" so you eat a bit more and then it just starts tasting gross, and you're like
"Why did I eat that?"-regrets
metaphors
I have to put a disclaimer because people are obviously gonna get offended if I trash talk your favorite book or your favorite series
Please don't take it personally, like you know coffee's not my cup of tea...
Uhhm
What am I saying? I think it's time to put on your sunglasses cuz it's about to get shady
Oooh
I'm so lame, also I don't have sunglasses - So you're just gonna have to deal with it. Okay, let's begin!
The Delirium Trilogy by Lauren Oliver
Dystopia about a teenager called Lena Holloway who falls in love in a society where love is classified as a disease
[whispers "shocker"]
The first book for Delirium, I remember absolutely loving it the point where I gave a 5 out of 5 stars
Yes. The second book is called Pandemonium, but uhm and I do remember liking this more than like the first book,
strangely I gave this book a 4.7 out of five
My rating system is messed up, guys.
Maybe I was...
... Delirious?
No? Okay
I've been told what happens in book 3: A lot of people say it's the worst in the series and to be quite frank
I've just lost interest.
So yeah. Matched, by Ally Condie. I read this way back in 2012
where I was going through the whole Hunger Games craze thing and I craved all the dystopia. Matched is essentially
match.com
where you get matched to your
Lifelong partner and it's a psyche that controls everything for you from your diet your
occupation, your job, your house to your potential lover. So I guess you know, [sings:] if you want to be my lover
You gotta get matched. Show you a picture like a pop notification, and they go "Hey:
This is your future partner who you are compatible with" and gets two images of two guys and she's like
"Oh, no, what do I do? DILEMMA" Love triangle. There was no "wow" factor.
Okay, um
I'm sorry
It's a no from me
You're not going through to the finals. Shatter me by Tahereh Mafi
I did a review on this book ages ago, and I remember calling her Tahiry
And -
I was so disrespectful, and I gave this a 2 out of 5 and I was just really mean and I was being offensive
So I took it down unfortunately. Strangely enough my two most
offensive reviews um
Were actually the ones that got the most views. Move over Bella Swan, you have a competitor for the most bland character:
Juliet. Juliet is stuck in this mental asylum because when she touches people she drains their energy and they die - Kind of like that chick in X-men.
And there's also a love triangle, um, the insta-love irritated me.
The writing is my Mic you either love it
Or you hate it. Many people feel as if the writing is beautiful, it's touching, it's poignant, and maybe it is-
Personally I just find it a bit pretentious
And it was just too upside for my liking and I just felt like the metaphors were just being crammed
down my throat. And the other books in the series could be absolutely fantastic, but quite frankly
I- I just don't I don't I don't care. Selection by Kiera Cass
Had I made a book review for this book it would have been extremely offensive, like my "Shatter me" uhm
review was. The book was actually enjoyable to read in a fluffy
"Yeah, I have nothing to read" type of book way, but it follows a girl named America Singer, this's her,
And she lives in America...
...
And her profession is sing- singing, she's a singer.
...
Enough said. I gave this a 1 out of 5 stars, um, I don't remember it being that bad
I'm sure it wasn't, but maybe I was just being moody. Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin. Ah,
Yeah I remember the book itself in terms of plot, it wasn't bad. It was actually enjoyable: It was creepy, it was intense. I liked it
I just really just did-
did dislike the characters. In this book there is a character called Noah Shaw, and
everyone, including my friends, and people in Booktube told me "Oh yeah, you're gonna love Noah Shaw - He is like the peeerfect
fictional boyfriend" and he is so hot and then he came along and
I distinctly remember him being a british
hot guy bad boy who speaks loads of different languages and is really rich and was so cliché
it was wattpad. By the time the ending made me compelled to buy the next books, but...
evidently not enough. The Maze Runner
by James Dashner
[coughs]
So when I read this I did enjoy it, evidently. I bought the box set, but I just wasn't amazed by it-
I wasn't blown away like Prim
And I think I just have very high expectations. The Maze runner is action, it's dystopia,
it's survival
And it does have an awesome concept where these bunch of boys find themselves in an unfamiliar maze
where they don't remember anything of the past and they're trying to figure out
what's going on and how they're gonna get out. I've read them all but I know there's a fourth book. That's the-
That's the book I'm not gonna read. Here we have five series that I am not intending to finish.
I don't have anything against the authors themselves: I'm just not a fan of their work.
Thank you, may the odds be ever in your favor. Happy reading and good bye [adds smack sound to camera slap]
Because I was to write the film but then the door just opened, even though I closed it which it's kind of...
...Weird. Like it's just like to show like
trash. And I was being disrespect-
...
Maybe it is poignant poignant poignant
point poignant poi-
[phone speaker plays pronounciation for poignant] poign- What! Hope I wasn't too offensive, if I was...
...That's life
