 Hey guys, it's Julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video I'm going to be talking about the worst books that I read in the year of 2018. And shines high I don't have most of these because I either got rid of them or that kind of thing or I just don't want to look for them right now. So we'll go through these. Don't be mad if I hate your favorite book but if you really want to be bad go ahead. It's whatever everyone has their own opinion, cool. First up here I have a flux which this is a poetry collection. I just saw the cover and like it's published by a publishing company I really love and I was hearing good things about it and it just let me down so much like it was so standard and just nothing was like redeeming about it and that's just like really like it's such a beautiful book too and it's just like no. Next up here I have a controversial one that but that is Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I buddy read this with some of my friends. I remember at the beginning of this year we all didn't like it at all. There was a lot of issues we had with it. I have a whole review on it so I'll link that up above and down below as well. That review constantly gets hate comments which is adorable. Yeah Fangirl was really not my thing. I didn't like the writing. I thought there were a lot of jokes that shouldn't have been made. I thought it's overhyped in my opinion and I just thought a lot of things about it were just bad and I'm like why is this a popular thing? I don't get it. Next up I have Dear Aunt Catherine. This is a book that I got sent for review by a self-published author and I was so excited for this and like I love reading books by self-published authors to like help them get their name out there and stuff like that and I love like giving hype to good books that are like not that popular that deserve the hype but this book talked about rape and there was some non-consensual scenes. I couldn't with this. No, absolutely not. Next up I have We Are Okay by Nina LeCour. This again beautiful cover like concept of grief and stuff like that and it just overall let me down. It just didn't have a lot of substance to it. It lacked in so many areas. It was kind of dull. The grief aspect could have been like fleshed out a lot more. It just kind of seemed like a really like dull book. There just wasn't much to it. Next I have Chasers of the Light which this is another poetry collection. This I was so excited for because like these poetry collections you see around a lot. Like they have a really fancy photography in them and they have nice poetry along with them but I read one. Didn't like it. The pictures were the best part but like the poetry just sucked and I was like no. Next I have Wild Blue Wonder and this is just a YA book, a YA contemporary book. I actually got an arc of it but I just couldn't get into this. I just had a lot of disconnect. I didn't like like the plot sounded so interesting but I didn't like the characters. I just had a huge disconnect with the stories so like that's about it with that one. I also have Smoke and Mirrors which this one is another poetry collection. This is an erotic poetry collection. I think I've talked about to the author's other poetry collection that they've written but I just hate erotic poetry. Like reading this authored poetry I just hate erotic poetry. I think like there'll be these beautiful lines and then it'll be super blunt at the end. It'll kind of ruin the flow of the poem. I don't think they get a certain message across. I just think they really lack and they're just kind of like there and I'm like okay. Next I have On the Fence by Casey West which this Casey West book I just wasn't a fan of. I couldn't get into it no matter how hard I tried. I tried it several times for different readathons and things like that. Couldn't get into it for the life of me. Ended up DNFing that one. And last but not least this was probably like a more of a disappointing one but this is Disconnected which this is a collection of poems and short stories by a bunch of poetry writers. A lot of which a lot of whom I love like Amanda Lovelace, Cyrus Parker, just a lot of really great modern poetry writers that deserve more recognition were in this collection. And I just personally think that they should stick to poetry like short stories weren't great for a lot of them. I think Nikita Gill was in this one as well which I did like her collection. There was a lot of things that weren't great about this one and it's just like no. Like I didn't even like the poetry sections of these. I didn't like the short stories that they wrote. It's lacked so much for me. No so sags. Again I got an arc of it and it just really lacked for me so yeah. Anyways there you guys have it.
