here is where you can talk bout your bookish hot takes!

Okay tbh I don't mind pregnancy trope. as long as it is written well like for example. The Goal: Elle Kennedy and Baby Daddy were written well.

I don't mind real people on covers. It depends on the situation though

Real people on covers can go good together. I just don't like when you see a hot shirtless guy. Like great but also so awkward in public and around family.....

most booktok books are overrated

I 100% agree. There have been a few exceptions for me but mostly they arent that good

A Little Life wasn't as good as many people made it out to be

OMG okay I liked it but like the Off Campus Series was too hype. Also I am reading this book series. By Grace Reilly and she literally traded The Deal for her book First Down but Football and Breakaway is basically The Score: Elle Kennedy and Collided: Lauren Asher

i haven't read one good colleen hoover book 🤭

Colleen Hoover is overrated and she shouldn’t romanticize abuse
Her books are overhyped

I haven’t read a Colleen Hoover book.

sometimes us book girlies say a book is good but it's really not and we just like the romance

^ that’s fair

Ya'll okay so I am a big Romance book girlie but honestly I really use to love smutty books. Now I feel like I rather have less smut if you know what I mean. I like cute rom com kinda books

I'm not a big fan of smut either, the only main book I've read that was really spicy was icebreaker

It not like i don't like it, it is a great subplot in a romance book but when it becomes the whole book. Like when they get into it like every chapter that is where I draw the line yk

slow burn is only good in certain books when the banter is done correctly. otherwise it’s just painful

love triangles are only really bad when the main character doesn't know who they want.

I hate Love Triangles they freaking suck because the person you want the FMC to get with doesn't get with them yk

tsitp we are talking about YOU

I saw someone say Love Triangles are actually love corners and usually the female lead is backed into it

IKRRRR IT ENDS WITH US SUCKED

I've tried to read Fourth wing multiple times and I find it appalling

Dance of Thieves is kind of just okay. Like, I found it to be really boring.

harry potter is bad

sorry guys

also... the hobbit, could not get into. i've tried 18 times in the last two years, nothing. i was looking forward to it as well

harry potter is kinda boring tho so don't worry :)

I hate how the whole book community is so obsessed aaron warner he kinda gives me the ick

Same like I hated that series.

I love the Single Parent Trope so much!! I like it especially if the Parent like took on the kid like the kid was abandon or the parent died cause that is just so emotional and all. ALso I am a sucker for kids in books.

imma start a war. percy jackson is overrated

Why do u think that?

he reuses the same jokes over and over again, and the characters are pretty basic. it's just not amazing, like everyone yells in my face it is

Yeah Rae I am with you. I like it, it just so overrated.

thank you!

Like the story is cute but people need to chill.

Yes, 12 and below I'd say. it's a middle grade book for middle grade readers. When i first read it it was five stars. Now it's three.

Yeah same I read it a long time ago and I thought it was fine like it was 4 star back then now it probs 2 star.

A lot of the male love interest are controlling, abusive, creepy, and not attractive personality wise.

Oh when the mmc is like "I am going to rip your dress off and fak you." Like uhm.. how original??? Also I really do not care for Enemies to lovers like I get so bored with that trope nowadays.

icl I love enemies to lovers DONE RIGHT. I feel like ppl wrote books where the characters who are SUPPOSED to be “enemies” js got off on the wrong foot/a slight misunderstanding so then there’s js like dislike and side eyes and stuff (Spanish love deception I’m looking at you babes) like girl bffr yall aren’t enemies 😭😭 give it a break. BUT if it’s the kind of enemies to lovers where they absolutely LOATHE eachother - and have a valid reason for it - but also loathe themselves bc their so disgusted for wanting their enemy then… 😍

I'm not really a fan of Jurdan. I love the political intrigue in the Folk of the Air, but the romance is way too toxic.

Also, not really a fan of Powerless, or Kai and Pae as a ship, or really either of them alone? Like, Kai is... not great. Kitt is my fav character in it, and I could actually get behind him and Pae as a couple. (Keep in mind, I haven't read Reckless yet)

Okay I do not like any of the Folk Air series books or Shatter me series I just found them overrated

@sofia YES. THIS.
