 I think it might pass under the radar. I don't think anyone's going to clock me. No one's going to clock me. I'm not going to do that. Or do I? Or do I? Okay, so the jig is up. So, I want to know how much attention do we pay to what each other are reading? None. None. We're constantly on booktube, right? On book twitter tweeting out what rating we gave something. I want to know, do we actually care? Do we actually care what each other are posting? Any other day, I got alerted to something. Very sad. Essentially it looks like Goodreads isn't going to support posting to Twitter anymore. There's a button. Once you've rated a book, once you've finished it, there's a function to tweet out your rating. And like, if you've given a controversial rating, you always want to tweet it out so people can go, oh my god, why? And you can just sit there going, but they're stopping doing that. And so that means I have to do this video now. Essentially I want to do an experiment. I am going to rate some trash books five stars. And I'm going to see if anyone clocks me and be like, Megan, why are you rating those horrible books five stars? So every day this week, it's going to get progressively more obvious. It's going to get progressively more ridiculous. Currently Wednesday, so it's going to be four days. Four books. You will have four chances to call me out. We're going to start off tame today. So obviously I'm not reading these books. Like, I don't want to put myself through that. But some of them are going to be books I just know are going to be trash. And some are books that are sequels to things I've rated very low. So in a video I did earlier this year where I reread some of my childhood favorite paranormal romance that is trash, I read the beautiful dead book one Jonas by Eden McGuire. It was so bad. Do you see how that's incredibly offensive? Yes, I do. That's why I said it. This book, if I was reading this book when I was 11, I would give it five stars because I loved it. This book series was the start of my book influencer career, if you can call it that. I made everyone in my school read this book series. I was hyping it up. I was like, you guys, it's so good. And when I read it now, it's like one of the worst things I've ever read in my life. Today, I'm going to tweet out that I have given the sequel, Arizona, five stars. And we're just going to see if anyone calls me out. They can call me out on Goodreads. They can call me out on Twitter. And I'm just intrigued. I'm intrigued as to whether anyone will cock me or whether we just scroll past this kind of stuff. I feel like because this is not really a well-known book, you'd have to know that I read the first one and rated it one star. It's not a well-known series. Like no one knows what the fuck this is. Like I think it might pass under the radar. I don't think anyone's going to clock me. No one's going to clock me. What's that? What's Chandler's line when she's like, nobody clocked me. Well, she's like saying she looks like Jada Pinkett Smith. Nobody clocked me. They thought I was Jada Pinkett Smith up in there. Anyway, so let's do it, shall we? I need to mark it as currently reading. I'm not going to say any comments with it. I'm just going to rate it. So update progress. I'm finished. I will take one of these off my Goodreads after this video comes out. And let's rate it five stars. Thanks for so mad. I hope no one, I hope no one picks up any of these books on my recommendations for during before this video comes out. And clicked, uh, tweet it out. Okay, so that's done. And now we wait and we see. I'm just going to check that it has tweeted out. Yeah, it's there. Oh my god, someone's already liked it. Who's liked it? Please don't pick this book up because of me. Oh, I'm scared. But for now, we wait and we see. Okay, so it's now the evening. I feel really bad. Oh no. I mean, honestly, the girl did it to her damn self. Okay, so I posted on Twitter. I don't think on Goodreads anyone has reacted to it. But on Twitter, we've had three responses. Oh god, I can't even talk. Okay, so Carrie said what, oh my god, what a throwback. I think I read most of this series. Steph, oh my god, Steph, I'm so sorry. She said love this series. Wish I'd never got rid of it. Love a reread. Oh no. Siobhan said, I have these on my shelves with a smiley face on a heart. People just see me writing all these trash books, five stars. And then they don't see this video. People are gonna like think something different of me. But no one's called me out. So no one's realized yet. Success. I feel like for the next one, I need to go with another like a sequel to something that I've read before but maybe a more well known author. So maybe people will know that I didn't like it. This experiment isn't going the way I thought it would because I just feel very bad. It's the next day. Well, it's the next night because I realized basically that my Twitter is the most active at night because that's when like America is awake. So I decided to post this at night. It's currently nine o'clock. And I've been thinking to myself, right? I've been thinking, what can I do? I know the end book. Like I know the last book of this video. And it's the ones in between that are big difficult because I want them to gradually step up. I don't know what tomorrow is going to be yet. I don't know what is going to be a step up from this. But I feel like people are going to call me out on this one. So I thought I would go with another sequel to a book I have already read and hated and given like one star. But I thought that I would go with something a bit more well known. So I decided to go with what is it even called Time of the Twins by Kendall and Kylie Jenner. So if you haven't seen, I have a reading vlog where I read the first in this series, Rebels, A City of Indra. And it's like the worst dystopian Hunger Games Divergent ripoff. You don't even want to get into the whole backstory of this book. Like they didn't write it. It's like this ghostwriter, but the ghostwriter's trash. Go watch that video because it's like one of the funniest videos I've ever done just because of how shambolic this whole operation is. But for some reason they brought out a second book. But I think it was quite hushed up. They didn't do a lot of promo for this second book and I've literally just gone on looked and it's only got 94 ratings. That's not much. I think quite a few people may know that I hated the first book, but at the same time it looks very different to the first book. Like I'll put the picture in and it's written by someone different. It's written by a different ghostwriter. It could be feasible that it's better. Like it could be feasible that it's good all of a sudden. Okay I'm going to set it to currently reading five stars. I can't believe I'm writing this five stars. See like my what I'm scared of is people seeing this and making assumptions about me when like I'm not writing this five stars. And then let's tweet it out. Yeah the tweet's up. Okay so now we wait and we see whether anyone calls me out. But how do I step up from this tomorrow? That is the hard thing. Maybe this should have been tomorrow's book. I feel like someone's gonna call me out for this one. People cannot believe I'm giving this five stars. Like surely. Oh it's already got a like. Oh my god the same person who liked it yesterday has liked this. What if they're just like on to me but not saying anything? Okay okay so I like that laugh. I should have filmed myself last night in the middle of the night in the pitch black cackling at everything you guys were tweeting. Like oh my god. There was more response than I thought there would be. So first we had Mina saying this is the biggest plot twist of 2020. What even? Riley said is this a cry for help blink twice? A lot of confused gif faces. Emma said are you okay in capital miles? And explain please. Funny to me like I take such joy from like tricking everyone. Just a lot of people being very shocked and not believing me. The pointless video was if you clocked like what video I was doing. Like if you clocked the pattern. But you've definitely I think clocked that something's up. Maybe I peaked too soon. I've just made a massive mistake and now I'm really annoyed. Maybe that should have been today's book because like you're all shook. I thought I didn't think we all paid that much attention. This obviously proves that we all do pay attention to what each other are posting on Twitter and like Goodreads and what we're rating books. It's just so funny to me. You're all so worried for me. I need to come up with a book. I still don't know what I'm going to post. What are some like really like known to be bad books? What I'm thinking of is books like Cape May and stuff like that that have been ridiculed. I really don't want to rate that five stars. I don't want to do that. I don't want people to see that I've rated that five stars. I'm not going to do that. Or do I? Or do I? This basically got revealed that this author got paid like 600k or something for this book and people read it and it was hot trash. But I just object to him being paid 600k for it when it's like bad. So I don't think I want to I don't think I want to rate that five stars. Maybe I should phone a friend. I'm going to message Emma and I'm going to I'm going to bring her in on the loop as to what's happening. Hello. I need your help with something. You know I posted last night that I rated Kendra and Kylie Jenner's book five stars. So basically I'm doing a video where every day I'm rating a trash book five stars and seeing if anyone noticed. I need to come up with my book for today. I know I won for tomorrow which is the last one and I want them to like escalate. I can't think of like what to rate. Like what's a book that like everyone knows is trash? Isn't it? My first thought was Cape May but I don't know if I'm going to do that to myself and like have people see I've rated that five stars. But if someone sees that and then doesn't see the video and thinks in their head I've genuinely rated that book five stars. Kylie was like is this a cry for help link twice? Do I do Cape May? Yeah do it. Do it. Okay. Okay so Emma thinks that I should rate Cape May five stars. I've seen screenshots of this book like I've seen when people have read it and it's so bad. I can't do it. My heart is saying no. If you don't know about this book if you hadn't heard about it basically over the summer there was this hashtag called publishing paid me started by LL McKinney and it highlighted just how underpaid black female authors are. Just how horrifically underpaid they are and this guy waltzing in and getting 600k for this horrific book. So like this book does carry some it is associated with this with this awful thing you know that this white guy comes on in with his debut and get paid this amount of money and then established black female authors are getting paid like minuscule amounts in comparison. So I would definitely recommend you go and read up about that hashtag if you haven't heard about it before because it's definitely something that needs to be tackled. And I remember at the time loads of people read this because of that like loads and loads of people and everyone was posting about how bad it is. Okay I've posted it and now we wait and we see whether any of you would actually think that I would give that trash book bus. Okay someone uh just commented this is for a video about messing with your subscribers. It has to be. Okay so the jig is up. So Mina Mina tweeted okay I figured it out Megan's trolling us for a new video. I feel like in Scooby Doo and the villain has their mask taken off. Like I've been exposed. It's time to bring the curtain down on Mr. Wacky Pants's career. The gig is up. I've been found out. To be fair I have got a few comments on that going this is the highest rating I've seen on this book by a long shot. I'm like yeah for a reason because it's not real. I think people know now that I'm like trolling. Like I think people have kind of figured it out but I'm still gonna go through the last day tomorrow. Like I'm still gonna go through with it because I have not come all this way to not do the book that like was the first book in mind. I'm still gonna do it but Mina I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kid. Well let's it'll be fun to see what everyone says tomorrow but you have figured me out. Okay so after I went to bed last night even more of you spoiled my fun. Molly said why do I have a feeling Meg is doing a video on giving bad books 5 out of 5 stars to get people's reaction because I am. But to be fair Sarah did just put a disgusted face emoji so she obviously thinks that this is serious and I could possibly really think that. Have you all followed me Sarah because of this? Oh no she still follows me. Okay I thought that would be an unfollowable offence if you seriously thought that I like to cave me. So like people know now. Like people know. Like everyone knows I'm doing this but let's just have fun. Let's just do the last one. So I knew from the beginning that like the last book I needed to do because there was no way I could give it 5 stars was Kissing the Coronavirus by MJ Edwards. Like it's it's bad. Basically if you haven't heard it's a romance book about kissing the coronavirus. Like I think the coronavirus mutates into a man and like she fucks him. So let's put it on my currently reading 5 stars. This is like the villain in Scooby-Doo still trying to commit their crimes after they've been exposed. Like it doesn't work and now we wait and we just see what everyone says. Okay so I'm back and I'm so sorry. One of you is just done with me. Like you're just done with me. You've left. Some of you are asking me if I'm okay. Katie said does she can see why I gave it 5 stars? Katie are you okay? Are they gonna murder me? This is through a video. So this does show that we pay attention to what each other rate. You're not afraid to call me out on my bullshit when I'm giving you bullshit and it's actually gonna be very sad when Goodreads no longer lets you post the thing on Twitter that it lets you post. I love seeing what my friends on Twitter have posted from what they rated on Goodreads because I feel like I never scroll through Goodreads whereas when it appears on Twitter it's a really nice moment to see when someone is rated like highly a new release or a book that a lot of people are talking about. I'm sorry for putting you all through that like I am. I am sorry for putting you all through that. Sorry if you trusted me at first. Sorry if your trust in me has been broken but thank you for participating in my experiment unknowingly. That's very unethical. Very unethical for you to participate in my experiment unknowingly. I think I learned that in Science GCSE so like I think it is unethical. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching. If you've watched till the end what emoji sums this up? Maybe the spyglass emoji because like I'm like Scooby and Shaggy and solving a mystery. Yeah leave the spyglass emoji if you've watched till the end and yeah I will see you very very soon in another video. Bye!
