tier ranking every popular booktok book i’ve read 📖

when I read this I started to question humanity a  little bit the fact that it is named the steminist   series literally makes me want to throw myself  off a cliff I would pay someone to erase it from   my memory so that I could unread it atrocious  atrocious is what I would call that book hello   everyone welcome so today I'm finally filming  a video that I have been wanting to make for a   long time now this was a really popular Trend last  year so I'm definitely a bit behind when it comes   to making this video but I felt like I hadn't read  enough books for it until recently and now that I   feel like I've read a decent number of the books  I needed to read I'm finally filming My ultimate   tier ranking of the popular book talk books I  have read I loved here ranking videos I love   tea ranking books I made a few of them last year  or the year before and um it's been fun and I've   been wanting to make some more so this is going  to be the first one that I make I'm very excited   to get into it I might be missing a couple here  and there but I think I have a total of 44 books   on this list which is like a decent number like I  said I was waiting to read some more and there's   actually a lot more that are really popular in  book talk that I still haven't read but I would   just be putting this off forever if I did that so  I just decided to make it and include the books   I've read up until this point I do quickly want  to preface this video by just saying I have a lot   of dissenting opinions on some of these books  so I might end up ranting about some of these   and if listening to someone complain about a book  that you really really love is not something that   brings you Joy and something that makes you feel  good you don't have to watch this video if it's   gonna make you all Angry in my comments go off  get me the engagement that's fine but also you   don't have to watch the video people always tell  me not to give these disclaimers I sometimes do   and I sometimes don't but I know that this one is  probably gonna be a touchy one for some people so   that's why I'm stating it here now but anyway  that out of the way let's get into my different   tiers so as you can see here I made my own tears  I have nine tiers because yes I'm extremely extra   and no I couldn't narrow it down also I named  each tier based on a different Tick Tock sound   since this is book talk books I thought that that  was appropriate and it would be more fun so that's   what I did my top tier the god tier is I think  you might have accidentally saved my life that's a   sound from Euphoria I think then we have snap girl  I dropped something my job and then it has that   little like sound if you know what I'm talking  about I'm just gonna have to insert the Sounds in   this those are probably more like four star books  books that are like almost five stars and maybe   some of them are technically five stars they're  just not my favorite favorite book I've ever   read and then the third tier that we have is cell  phones on silent which shut your [ __ ] mouth the   show is about to begin I love that sound so these  are books that I really loved as well uh they're   probably on the higher end of three stars to four  stars these were books I thought were really good   but are not my favorite favorite books I've ever  read then we have I don't know what's going on and   I simply don't want to know I love that sound too  these are kind of like mid-tier books books that   I probably rated about three stars 3.5 Stars  books that were like okay um I probably won't   really think about them again or read them again  and I might recommend them might not they're just   you know mid not the best but not terrible then  we have fun yes but not funny ha ha funny weird   these are books that I didn't love uh books that  I do think have probably a couple of like iffy   aspects to them here and there definitely has  some pros but the cons outweigh the pros for me   and it's just not my favorite kind of mid books  but mid books I wouldn't like really recommend to   anybody next we have me personally I wouldn't take  this level of disrespect these are books that like   I feel like this speaks for itself I wouldn't take  that level of disrespect I would not put myself   through it again I wouldn't put someone through it  I don't think that it's worth your time it's just   it's not a good book it's not a good book then  we have welcome to Barnes and no oh this one just   felt completely appropriate since it's obviously  a book related sound anyway so yeah as the sound   says this is just no like if you go into Barnes  Noble my recommendation don't buy it don't even   go near it it's not worth your time it's not good  not the bottom tier of books like not the worst   thing I've ever read but no like just no no then  we have it is so bad I want to give you a zero   but that's not possible so I give you a one that  one's self-explanatory obviously these are just   the worst like the worst worst absolutely not zero  out of ten would never recommend don't read it   don't want it I probably wouldn't read something  by this author again and then lastly we have   right this is why would you write this  book which is obviously a reference to   my own crying Tick Tock and I think we  all know what book will go in that tier   um I might actually put a couple more books in  that tier but that one I made specifically for   a specific book on this list anyway that's it  for my tier list those are the nine tiers again   there are probably too many of them however I  think that this is more fun when there are more   tears and then here we have all of the books as  well so yeah let's just get in to ranking all   of these alright so first up we have the seven  husbands of Evelyn Hugo as you know that's one   of my favorite books of all time to be honest with  you it's been so long since I've read it that I'm   like not remembering some things and I've read  so many more books since I read this that I love   I think probably more than it which I know sounds  scandalous but the more I've been thinking about   it I feel like the less and less I'm as utterly  obsessed and in love with it as I am with some   other books so I think I'm actually gonna put this  in the second tier the uh snap girl I think you   dropped something uh tier because that just feels  wrong here that just feels right that's what we're   gonna do I feel like that's a fair placement for  it for how I feel about it now it is still one   of my favorite books it's just I feel like I have  now found books that I love even more than it and   I do have a new favorite Taylor Jenkins read book  not really new but we'll get into it later in the   video next up we have All About Love by Bell hooks  I read it in the that girl books video this one is   really popular in the like non-fiction section of  book talk and the literary fiction section of book   talk even though it's not literary fiction I would  probably put this it wasn't my favorite favorite   thing because I've read other Bell hooks that I  like more so I think I'm gonna put this in cell   phones on silent uh because yeah it's a great  book I would definitely recommend it it's just   not my favorite L hooks I've read alright next up  we have one last stop by Casey mcquiston this one   I read in my five Romance Books video the first  one I didn't love this I thought it was just okay   so I think I'm gonna put this in I don't know  what's going on and I simply don't want to know   uh because I wouldn't read it again as far as  romance goes I didn't really love this and even   compared to Casey mcquiston's other book I just  thought it wasn't as funny or entertaining so   yeah that's why it's gonna go in that tier just  wasn't the best in my opinion all right now we   have a literary talk literary book talk favorite  my year of rest and relaxation biotes on moshveg I   I didn't love this I also read this for the  Batgirl video I thought it was okay I feel like   people act like this book is a lot more meaningful  and has a lot more depth than it actually does and   personally that's just how I felt I I thought it  was very mid so I think I'm gonna put this in I   don't know what's going on and I simply don't  want to know because again like I wouldn't read   this again I feel like there are definitely  people who I could recommend it to based on   like their reading taste and stuff because I don't  think it's bad I just don't think it's very good   either okay next up we have the invisible life  of Addie LaRue as somebody who is a very big be   Schwab fan or was a very big ve Schwab fan I read  like the majority of her backlist ever since this   book came out I don't know what has happened to  me but I just like don't like her writing the   way I used to I don't know why I don't know what  it is but I feel like I just can't resonate with   anything that she's written post like vengeful  for some reason they just don't hit the same I   don't know what it is I like the invisible life  of Addie LaRue don't get me wrong but I didn't   didn't love it and like when I first read it I  was like oh that was really good because there   were parts of it that I really really did like  but the more time that has passed since I first   read it the less and less I think about it and  the less and less I care about this book which   I feel really bad saying because as someone who's  like loved ve Schwab I mean like I have so many of   her books is that the Shelf I think so yeah right  here I have so many of her books I've read I think   every single one of these except for one or two  and also I just like can't get myself to read   any of her new stuff and I don't know why that is  but that's just how I felt since I read this book   but yeah anyway I would put the invisible life  of Addie LaRue in probably I don't know what's   going on and I don't want to know I'd probably  put it I'm gonna move it first because I like it   better than these other two books for sure okay  can we thank you it's not show stopping it's not   amazing it's just okay overall in my opinion she  has much better books next up we have alone with   you in The Ether uh I just read this recently  I just talked about it in my last video and I'm   so sorry I'm so sorry sorry to everyone who is so  in love with this book I didn't love it I thought   that honestly it should go in the hmm funny  yes but not funny haha funny weird category   it's not even close to one of the worst books I've  ever read like obviously it's not that bad in my   opinion and I personally wouldn't really recommend  it but like I can see the appeal I see what people   like about it but as a whole I think this book  is very very convoluted and very pretentious I   talked about it a lot in my last video like I said  my main criticism of this is that it is trying way   too hard to be different and it is trying to do  way too much all at one time the book uses a ton   of different formatting Styles throughout it like  at one point there's narration and like a narrator   and stage directions kind of like it's a play at  other times it switches into just classic dialogue   it other times it switches into like indirect  dialogue indirect speech it's very very strange   it's very convoluted and the book was trying  really hard to be not like other books like that   was I felt like in my opinion the biggest thing it  was really really pretentious which I said in that   video as well makes sense for the story I don't  think that that was unintentional however it reads   as really pretentious and not in an enjoyable  way in my opinion the writing's really heavy it's   really dense and it's just trying way too hard  and for me it didn't work at all it's not the best   um definitely not something I would ever read  again personally anyway those are my thoughts   on alone with you in The Ether if you want to  hear more in-depth detailed thoughts on it you   can go watch that video because I talked about  it for like 15 minutes all right next up we have   you've reached Sam by Dustin Tau this book in  my opinion was just deeply deeply okay this is   going in I don't know what's going on and I don't  and I simply don't want to know it was just fine   like it wasn't super hard hitting to me it wasn't  extremely emotional the way a lot of people had   described it to be at least for me it didn't delve  as much into the whole theme of grief as much as I   was expecting it to it just felt like something  was missing so yeah that's why it's going in   that tier for me okay next up we have the Spanish  love deception the classic uh everyone knows what   tier this is going in this is going in it is so  bad I want to give you a zero because it's the   sound I used when I made a tick tock about it and  that is exactly what inspired this tier to begin   with I will never ever in my life get over the  I wanna feel you milking me line it's so funny   to me I'm gonna laugh about it for the rest of my  life like if this book did anything for me it has   made me laugh and it's all thanks to that line  so you know what like that's that's where maybe   where the one single star comes from the fact  that I can laugh at it but yeah no absolutely   would never recommend we all know my thoughts  on the Spanish love deception if you don't you   can go watch the romance books video and having  read so much romance now since I read this book I   feel like I like it even less than I did before  if that was even possible okay next up we have   Juniper and Thorne by Ava Reed this is another  book that I read fairly recently and I mentioned   this in my most recent video as well I talked  about it a bit I honestly don't know what to do   with this because I loved this so much and I keep  thinking about it and with like each passing day   I feel like I like it more than I liked it before  so right now I'm kind of tempted to put it in the   second tier like the snap girl tier because I  don't necessarily want to say that it is one of   my all-time favorite favorite books yet because  I don't know that it's on that level for sure but   it's up there uh so for now I think I'm gonna put  it in a second tier next to Evelyn Hugo because   um that just feels right for now however this book  could easily become one of my favorite books I've   ever read I feel like I have to read it again for  that to happen I love it I love it so much and I   think everyone should read it not necessarily  everyone because it's really disturbing it's   really graphic and dark and really hard to read  at times uh because it's Gothic horror like I   said I'm gonna be thinking about it for a really  long time her writing is so beautiful and yeah if   you like Gothic horror if you like Gothic romance  this is less Gothic romance more Gothic or gothic   retelling then I think you definitely enjoy this  one this is a book I'm really glad that I saw on   book talk and decided to pick up because is  oh my God one of the best things I've read   this year okay next up we have slammed by Colleen  Hoover and before anyone gets mad at me and it's   like slammed is not a popular book talk book I'm  aware that it's all of Colleen Hoover's like other   books the majority of her other books but like I  haven't read any other Colleen Hoover book and I   can't make this video without a Colleen Hoover  book on this list so I'm putting the one that   I have read which is slammed and this is going  in why would you write this book I would put it   in the tier above but like honestly why would you  write this book why would you write it I know that   I can't technically judge all of Colleen Hoover's  books based on this just one book which a lot of   people will argue and say is probably one of her  worst books however like I said because I haven't   read any of her other books and I need a Colleen  Hoover book on this list I am including this one   because people just talk about Colleen Hoover like  as an author anyway and she did write this I will   not let you guys forget that she did write this  book she did write this ezrea 2.0 teacher student   relationship book that Everyone likes to excuse  as not a teacher student relationship and not   completely inappropriate and an abusive power  even though it is it is and it's very bad and   just one of the worst things I've ever read in  my life anyway so that's where that's going all   right and then next up we have convenience  store Woman by sayaka Morata I loved this   this is one of the books that got me super into  Japanese like translated fiction because this one   is just phenomenal I think I would probably put  this in I don't know if I want to put it in the   second or third tier um I'm gonna put it in the  third tier but I'm gonna put it before all about   love because it could be close to the books in the  second tier as well but like it's not necessarily   as comparable to Evelyn Hugo and Juniper and  Thorne in my head it's still definitely one of   my favorite books I've read this year and the  story just completely like stuck with me it   was funny and clever and witty and it was just  an overall really enjoyable reading experience   okay next up we have Heart Stopper and I okay  like I'm trying to be more selective with what   I call like my all-time favorite favorite books  so I am actually going to put Heart Stopper in   the second tier because I I like yes in some ways  honestly the first tier does fit Heart Stopper a   lot because there are some things about that story  that really just touched me so much that I feel so   deeply connected to and definitely can make it  one of my all-time favorite books however like   I said I'm trying to be a lot more selective and  a lot more exclusive with what I call my favorite   favorites like if I were to give you a top 10  list of my favorite books I want those books to   be the books you know and I feel like I wouldn't  necessarily put Heart Stopper in that list despite   the fact that it's a five star book I love it  like to death all of these books in the second   year are still five star books they're just not  like my favorite favorite ones so yeah that's   why I'm gonna put them put it with those for now I  don't know I might change these around later I get   really indecisive doing these videos it's really  hard okay next up we have Delilah green doesn't   care this is another book I read for my second  Romance Books video this one I liked more than one   last stop but I think I'd still put it in the same  tier but I think I'd put it above above them like   I'm gonna put this probably here because I didn't  like it as much as the invisible life of Addie   LaRue but I liked it more than one last stop in  my year of rest and relaxation and you reached Sam   it was just okay overall and I don't really think  about it very much I would definitely recommend it   if you want a Sapphic romance book but at the same  time it was just all right so yeah that's where I   put this one okay next up we have people we meet  on vacation I think that I am going to put this   in oh this is hard okay because I kind of want to  put it in cell phones on silent because there's   some things about it that I really really liked  but as a whole like I think it was mostly just all   right actually okay I think I'm gonna put it in I  don't know what's going on and I simply don't want   to know but it's gonna go first because I liked  it the most out of all of those books for sure   or maybe I liked it equally to as much as I how  much I liked um The Invisible life of Addie LaRue   it's just another book that's like okay overall  there are definitely aspects of it that I really   really loved but as a whole it's just fine oh  my God okay now we have from blood and Ash by   Jennifer alarming trout everyone knows where this  is going everywhere like that's not surprising   it's gonna go first in this tier because I  don't think I have ever read a book that I   hated as much as this I don't think I've ever read  a book that was more poorly written it is one of   the worst things I've ever read in my entire life  I would pay someone to erase it from my memory   so that I could unread it you know like oh my God  atrocious atrocious is what I would call that book   I read this and slammed in my um I read five  books I said I'd never read video if you want to   hear me talk about it in a lot more detail with  some spoilers and everything when I read this I   started to question Humanity a little bit this  was one of those times where I was like I think   I can never take a like mainstream popular book  talk recommendation again because my God what is   this and I don't want this to come across as like  me being like Oh book talk recommends terrible   books and blah blah blah because I know that's  like an attitude a lot of people have and like   I've definitely said things in that vein before  myself because yes in terms of mainstream book   talk like the main books that get popular on that  platform that completely blow up um the majority   of them are will say not to my taste however if  you look at the platform as a whole and you look   at the whole book talk Community there are so  many book talkers who are recommending so many   amazing books that I never would have heard of if  I hadn't been on there and seen somebody mention   it once or twice so yeah it's not like the whole  of book talk only recommends these same in like 10   books and they're all really bad because there are  plenty of people who are recommending really great   books it's just the stuff that like completely  blows up that I have found to be some of the most   poorly written literature I've ever read in my  entire life and from blood and Ash at this moment   in time sits at number one on that list okay next  up we have Red Queen by Victoria aveyard this is   another book I read for that same video this one I  definitely think is less popular on Tick Tock now   but I still see it on a lot of people's like book  talk lists so I think it was more popular a couple   years ago and this one I think I'm gonna put it  in me personally I would never take this level of   disrespect because it wasn't good like this book  was not good but it's also not the worst thing   I've ever read I can see the appeal especially in  terms of like 2015 why a dystopian when that genre   was really really big I can see why this kind of  took off at that time but now comparing it to a   lot of the UI genre like this book does not hold  up it's not even close to as good as what exists   in the genre right now or even what existed back  then if we're being honest but like it's still not   the worst thing I've ever read like it's just  it's really okay but on the bad side of okay   if you know what I mean so yeah it's going in that  tier next up we have Book Lovers by Emily Henry uh   this is another book I read for my second romance  video I really loved this so I think I'm gonna put   this in the cell phones on silent tear because  this book was great like it was really really   great and it's definitely one of my favorite  romance books I've read it was almost five stars   to me but there was just something in it that was  missing that didn't push it over the edge to make   it a five-star book to me but I definitely really  enjoyed it it was very like comforting to read   it's very emotional it has just a lot more than  the romance as well the relationship Dynamic that   the sisters have with one another was really  beautiful and I love what was explored there   overall yeah just an excellent book it's worth the  hype in my opinion okay next up we have before the   coffee gets cold by toshikazu kawaguchi this is  another Japanese translated fiction book I loved   this this is going in um what's it called I forget  the name of all my tears the um I think he dropped   with something my jaw tear because I feel like  it's comparable to a lot of the books I have in   there I think I rated this five stars honestly  I think it's probably closer to 4.5 but it's   fantastic it is so cozy it's so heartwarming it's  a perfect like fall book I think it kind of feels   like a collection of short stories that are all  connected to one another but it's so so beautiful   and I would absolutely recommend okay next up uh  we have beautiful world where are you by Sally   Rooney I should have ordered these I did not order  them so we're just gonna go in this random order   but whatever actually you know what I'm gonna put  all of Sally Rooney's books together right now so   we can just rank them in the order that I read  them so we'll start with normal people I read   this for my I read five sad books video um that  I posted this year even though I read it last   year I as you know if you've watched the video I  don't love this book um I don't really like this   book actually I think I'd probably put this in  hmm funny yes but not funny haha funny weird I   don't think that it's necessarily as bad as some  of the stuff that I would put in the lower tiers   it's just way over hyped in my opinion I think  that's one of the biggest things about it and   overall it's again not as deep and emotional as  people say it is to me I it's fine if you get that   much out of it that's amazing I don't I I don't  see what other people see in it I just felt like   it was another book kind of like alone with you in  The Ether that was just trying a little too hard   and because I could feel it trying it kind of just  missed the mark to me however conversations with   friends I would put in the um shut your mouth the  show's about to begin tear because this book was   great this book to me is everything that normal  people tried to do except it does it better and   I loved it so yeah that would absolutely go in  that tier I really really liked conversations   with friends and out of all of her books that is  the one and only one I would recommend personally   and then we have beautiful world where are you  this one I'm gonna put in me personally I would   never take this out level of disrespect uh it's  not good actually no you know what I'm gonna   put it in welcome to Barnes and no I would never  recommend this at all like I could recommend Red   Queen to a person probably I would not recommend  beautiful world where are you that book was so bad   in my opinion it was so dull and it was so boring  and it was literally the author just using her   book to respond to the criticisms that she gets  and it was just such a significant part of the   book that it didn't feel like a book it felt like  she was writing like an article and it was really   ironic because I feel like a main criticism she  gets is how she uses her books and her characters   to kind of just like preach her ideologies and  her messages at you which honestly I don't even   disagree with a lot of her ideologies or the  messaging that she has in her books it's just   the way that she does it is so like obvious and in  your face that there's like no nuance and no room   for the reader to interpret anything a lot of the  time not always conversations with friends does a   really good job of having Nuance in my opinion  and then in beautiful world where are you she's   like addressing some of that criticism through her  characters in doing that she actually just makes   it worse because then she's even more directly  trying to like tell her readers what she's   thinking and what she is saying which was really  strange like I just don't know why you would have   that approach to it yeah it was very weird I  also didn't care about any of the characters   it was literally more of the same of normal people  in conversations with friends except not as well   written as either of those two so yeah definitely  by far my least favorite one I honestly don't   think I'll read another Sally Rooney book she's  just not for me okay next up we have the selection   by Kira Cass uh this is gonna go in welcome to  Barnes and no not the worst thing I've ever read   however it's up there I read this in my I read  five books I said I'd never read video when I   talked about it a lot of people were like well  you have to acknowledge that like this book was   written for like a younger audience do you know  how many great books were written for younger   audiences that are not nearly as terrible or  as insulting as this one is to the reader like   this book assumes the reader is dumb and you can  compare this to something like Percy Jackson which   is a middle grade book or another why a series  like The Hunger Games which was also written for   a younger audience neither of those books assume  that Their audience is incapable of analyzing   anything or incapable of understanding what the  message of the book is without them explicitly   telling it to you just because the book is  meant for a younger audience does not mean   that the book needs to be dumbed down that  insinuates that the younger audience is not   smart enough to be able to pick up on anything  which I just don't think is true and again if   you compare it to other books within the same  category that are made for the same age range a   lot of those great books don't do that and those  books are so much better for that reason among   many other reasons but that's one reason but  the selection is incredibly boring um I will   never get over America singer's name and the fact  that she's a singer that's one of the worst things   I've ever heard in my entire life the romance  is terrible and toxic the men were all toxic   I don't understand I personally do not understand  I get it if you read it when you were like really   young and it was like your favorite like trash  series that's fun that's fine everyone has their   favorite trash series I absolutely had mine I  just don't get why this is having a Resurgence   now because there's so much better so much better  why a dystopian fantasy any anything just anything   anything is better almost anything except for the  books and the tears below alright next up we have   my dark Vanessa I I loved this book which is a  really weird thing to say because it is one of   the most disturbing uh one of the worst things  I've ever read my dark Vanessa in my opinion   does everything right when it comes to writing a  book about trauma and traumatic experiences and   depicting that trauma as well it does everything  in a way that is respectful and in a way that is   not harmful to the reader I'm not saying that  you won't have a hard time reading this or that   it can't be triggering it definitely can be and it  will be however it is so well written and I think   it handles everything so well and so gracefully  um and I I loved it this is gonna go in um snap   girl I think you dropped something my job because  it's one of the best books I've ever read like it   honestly is one of the best books I've ever read  I think about it constantly constantly definitely   look up content warnings if you decide to read it  is not easy to read I would not recommend it to   everyone however I absolutely loved it okay next  up we have they both die at the end if you watched   my sad books video you know I didn't like this  I'm gonna put this in me personally I wouldn't   take this level of disrespect it's not good I  wouldn't put myself through that again everyone   acts like this book is so devastating it's not now  it's getting a sequel I don't know why we need a   sequel or a prequel I have no idea it's really  underwhelming the characters lack a lot of depth   and they're not well fleshed out and I didn't have  a good time reading it I'm sorry if you loved it   personally I didn't now we get into Throne of  Glass I read this so long ago for this I'm gonna   base it off of my opinion on the series and not  just the first book because I've read all but the   last two books I've read like five or six of these  books like a lot of them I'm gonna put this in   uh welcome to Barnes and no because no I I don't  like the Throne of Glass series we all know this   this is not news to anybody I really did enjoy  the first two books when I first read them and   then everything from there went downhill and it  was not a good time you all know my thoughts on   Throne of Glass and Sarah J Maas so Beth goes  there okay then we have the love hypothesis   um I am gonna put this in me personally I wouldn't  take this level of disrespect because some of the   lines in there were so cringy that I I don't think  you should put yourself through that that it was   disrespectful having to read some of those if that  book is just straight up raylo fan fiction and if   you don't like reylo I don't really think you're  really gonna love this book very much you could   but there's much better romance out there and from  what I've heard about her steminist series which   is what I've heard it's called which is honestly  worse than the book itself like the fact that it   is named the steminist series literally makes  me want to throw myself off a cliff but that's   a story for another day but from what I've heard  everyone says that ever every single book she has   written is exactly the same thing so that's fun  we love range I think it's deeply mediocre and   people hype it up way too much they're so much  better romance like much much better romance   okay next up we have Shadow and Bone I love the  Shadow and Bone series I reread it last year and   read the third one for the first time and I like I  fell in love I did not love it this much the first   time I read it and then the second time around  fell completely in love I'm gonna put this on in   the cell phones on silent shut your mouth um tear  because it's not like my favorite favorite series   but it's definitely up there it's going there I'm  so excited for season two of the show next up we   have the cruel Prince which I read a really long  time ago and I just thought this book was okay I   think I'm gonna put this in yes but not no no I'm  gonna put it up here actually and then I don't   know what's going on and I simply don't want to  know like it's just fine this book was not amazing   to me it was just it was okay and I really don't  remember anything about it if I'm being honest but   I know I didn't like it enough to keep reading the  next books in the series okay now we have acotar   term the only reason I had a good time reading  this was because I was trying to find all of the   house Moving Castle comparisons but objectively I  think that it's like equivalent to like the books   in the welcome to Barnes and no category for  me even though in the video that I read it in   I also read the Red Queen and I said that I liked  it probably more than that one or equivalently so   it's based on what I know about the rest of the  Avatar series which you can say that's not fair   because you haven't read them I know more than  enough information about the rest of them and   my opinions on just like Sarah J maas's writing  as a whole I like that less than I like the Red   Queen so yeah it's gonna go to welcome to Barnes  and no the only fun thing about this was finding   the house Moving Castle comparisons all right  now we have we were Liars listen I remember   nothing about this book I read it years ago  but I just remember thinking it was like so   fine like nothing happened and it was boring  so I'm probably gonna put this in funny ha ha   um or but not funny haha funny weird I wouldn't  recommend it it wasn't terrible but like it wasn't   jaw-dropping the way everyone acts like it is  and again the plot twist is pretty predictable   in my opinion okay then we have the wolf and The  Woodsman by Ava Reed um same author as Juniper   and Thorne I really liked this book I'm gonna put  it in cell phones on silent because it was really   great it's just like not my favorite favorite book  if you like romance fantasy with like Jewish and   Hungarian mythology mixed into there it was really  great next up we have Malibu Rising by Taylor   Jenkins read I'm gonna put this in I don't know  what's going on and I simply don't want to know   I like this book I gave it four stars I really  liked some aspects of it but honestly as time   has gone on I think about it less and less it's  definitely not my favorite of her books at all I   think it was just not as memorable as Daisy Jones  and Evelyn Hugo so it's gonna go in that category   okay next up we have Percy Jackson it's been so  long since I've read Percy Jackson but the series   is definitely self in cell phones on silent  because it's just one of the greatest fantasy   series of all time and I'm so excited for the show  I absolutely have to reread the books I might do a   reading Vlog of it if you guys are interested but  yes I'm very very excited for that show and I love   the Percy Jackson series I can't believe I have  nothing in the top tier so far I know there are   books on here that are in the top tier but this is  pretty like widely spread out which is impressive   I wasn't expecting that okay next up we have seven  days in June which is another one I read for my   second romance video this one is gonna go in cell  phones on silent this book was so good I like this   one pretty much equivalently to how I liked Book  Lovers like four and a half Stars if you want   a romance book that is definitely more serious  and tone and heavier at times because it deals   with like addiction and like substance abuse and  stuff like that and Trauma depression just look up   content warnings if you want to read it some stuff  is pretty heavy but overall it is so good it's   really witty some of the writing's really funny  and it's so romantic so highly recommend that one   was definitely worth reading okay next up we have  Daisy Jones and the six this one is the first one   I'm going to put in the I think you might have  accidentally saved my life category the this is   what I was talking about earlier I think I finally  decided Daisy Jones on the six is my favorite   Taylor Jenkins read book I like it more than I  like the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo I love   this book so much I still think about it a lot I  think I have more of a memory of this one than I   do at Evelyn Hugo um I've read it so many times  at this point in my opinion it is her best book   and I'm so excited for the show so excited for the  show and now talking about it I just want to read   it again okay next up we have six of crows somehow  all of my god tier books are like right next to   each other but six of crows I'm counting it as  the whole series goes in my um top tier because   nothing compares to this series every time I think  about anything else it's just it's not six of   crows you know it's not crooked Kingdom it's not  Kaz Inez Jasper Wyland Nina Matthias like nobody   is them nobody is them and no one ever will be I'm  glad this book blew up on Tick Tock it deserves it   it's just one of the greatest why fantasy just  fantasy ever ever ever ever I love it so much   okay and then next up we have obviously my number  one book ever of all time we're going in the first   spot the night circus because I love it so much  I actually don't see it that much on Tick Tock   but it was on a lot of people's Tick Tock lists so  I included it in here because if you know me you   know that's like my favorite book of all time I  have to read it again because again I still can't   100 say that but nothing is the night circus like  nothing makes me feel the way the night circus   makes me feel even if I've read objectively better  books nothing makes me feel like that book makes   me feel it is incomparable I don't know that I'll  ever be able to feel that same magic again okay   next up we have the idiot by Isla fatuman I didn't  like this however I don't think it's bad I don't   think it's for me is the thing so I'm actually  going to put this in I don't know what's going on   and I simply don't want to know even though I read  this book like two stars I still objectively think   it is better than some of the books that I have  below it that's why I don't want to put it any   lower but I don't personally like it but I can't  understand why someone would and also I don't know   what's going on and I simply don't want to know  was my brain the entire time reading the book I   had no idea what was going on and I didn't want to  know I didn't care I was so bored I get what the   book is trying to do it's just it's not for me so  I was never going to like it very much next up we   have the atlas 6 which I have not talked about  I've mentioned that I've read it but I haven't   actually talked about it because I was going  to include it in a video and then that didn't   work out the atlas 6 I'm going to put in I feel  like it's in between cell phones on silent and   I don't know what's going on and I simply don't  want to know but I'm gonna put it at the end of   cell phones on silent because I really enjoyed it  I thought it was really fun but it definitely has   some aspects that I think need a lot of work but  I think reading the second book like the sequel   the atlas Paradox will definitely determine for me  whether or not this is like a favorite or if it's   just more of like a mid-tier series but for now  I'm gonna put it there because I did really enjoy   it I had a good time reading this I thought it was  a lot of fun and I'm very curious about the world   despite the fact that it definitely needs help  with the World building her characterization is   amazing that was definitely the most enjoyable  part of that book for me so I did like it okay   next up we have a little life I'm not gonna say  anything you don't need to know anything else   other than this goes in this category we all know  you all saw me SOB my eyes out to this and saw me   uh have my life ruined so but yes in my opinion  this book does everything wrong when it comes to   dealing with traumatic disturbing subjects it just  exploits those things and it is it I I hate it I   don't want to talk about it okay next up we have  Cersei Cersei is going to go in the no not there   the snap girl tier because it is it could be a  favorite favorite book and it probably kind of   is up there but I'd have to read it again but  it is still one of my favorite books ever in   my opinion better than the song of Achilles which  we'll do next actually song of Achilles I'm gonna   put in cell phones on silent because it was good  I could actually probably put it even lower but I   don't think it's fair to compare it to the other  ones lower I liked it more than that it's just   not as good as Cersei in my opinion I think it's  a little bit overhyped for what it is maybe had I   read it like 10 years ago when it first came out  I would feel differently but with the way people   talk about it I feel like they're just better more  emotional books in general but it's still a great   book overall all right and then next we have red  white and royal blue the more time the passes the   less I think about this book but I think I'm  gonna put it in cell phones on silent because   I really loved my experience of reading this  book and I had such a fun time with it because   it was my first experience reading a True Romance  romance book and I was not expecting to like it   at all but I surprisingly really did despite the  neoliberal politics in it the romance is actually   very enjoyable and if we ignore that aspect of it  then it's really fun because the characters have   so much chemistry and it's really witty and funny  so yeah I I just had a fun time with that one so   it's gonna go there all right and then lastly we  have Shatter Me which I read a million years ago   um but I'm gonna put this in me personally I would  not take that level of disrespect because this is   not even close to as good as people say that it  is I've read the whole series well the first three   the first three were the only ones that were out  when I was reading it I would never call this y a   dystopian like you can't even call this dystopian  there's like no dystopian elements to this this   is basically a romance series and the romance is  also incredibly boring in my opinion but again   it's been so long since I've read it I really  don't remember a lot but yeah overall not my   favorite but yeah there we have it this is my tier  list ranking all of the popular Tick Tock books   book talk books I'm actually kind of surprised by  how many are in the like top tiers I think it's   because I don't read like a lot of the ones that  I know I won't like I've read plenty of book talk   books that I really love like I said plenty that  I would not wish upon my worst enemy but you can   clearly see like the range of recommendations  that you can get from the book talk Community   because like I said it's not just all those like  same 510 books that you'll see everywhere if you   really look for the other sides of the community  if you look for specific recommendations you're   bound to find something you really like but there  you all have it that is it for this video I had   a really good time making this it was a lot of  fun if there are any other tier ranking videos   that you would like to see please do let me know  and I will be sure to make them if you would like   to follow me on any of my social media all of  my links are in the description box as always   but thank you all so much for watching I hope you  enjoyed and I will see you in my next video bye thank you
