Just so you know, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GUILTY PLEASURE READS! And I love all these books, each got 5 stars soooooooo
PeruseProject I totally understand, but it might be confusing to some people since using the term "guilty" implies a negative connotation
***** mkay lol mr. mackey mkay

"They get all huffy if you classify their favorite book as "guilty pleasure" as if it makes the book less than if you do so."
That's because people these days cannot cannot grasp the concept of objective versus subjective.
Just because you love a book does not make it a good book. ("Good" meaning well written.) The opposite is true as well. Just because you hate a book does not mean it's a bad book. ("Bad" meaning poorly written.)
"If a book brings you any sort of pleasure, or therapy or release from reality then it's a good book mmmkay."
Not really. It's enjoyable to you, but it does not necessarily mean it's a good book.
I was given the first 'Twilight' book as a gift from a friend. It was fairly enjoyable. But I was also rolling my eyes at how poorly written it was. I love the 'Harry Potter' series. But I'm not going to claim it's equal to Shakespeare's works! (Or even Tolkien.)
PeruseProject The Host by what's her namo. I liked it even though I realize it a pretty bad book.
+Brenda G.P. Stephenie Meyer
The Selection by Keira Cass is a total guilty pleasure for me!
Totally, I do not know what it is about that series!
+Brittni's Book Find I was thinking about The Selection throughout this whole video!!
Right! Such a guilty pleasure read.
The Selection even though I read it America annoyed me so freaking much
OH MY GOODNESS. especially with the crown coming out soon i am so ready to fine out the rest of the story. literally never read romance novels so i have no idea why i obsesses over the series
Angelfall isn't a guilty pleasure!! It's worthy of being a favorite! It's amazing--even though it is about angels, the plot is unique (the creepy monsters, angels being evil, and psycho mom), plus the main character is a kickass female protagonist, the writing is amazing and witty and suspenseful, and Raffe is freakin awesome!
Leann Beckman I completely agree!
YEEEEEEEEEES
Leann Beckman you realize its regan's opinnion right...?
Hans Alexander yea, and this is my opinion...
THANK GOD SOMEONE SAID THIS I 100% AGREE
I don't believe in guilty pleasures, if you enjoyed something why should you feel guilty about it?
***** I understand that! It's just that I don't believe in the phrase :)
uh she literally stated at the beginning of the video that she means ya trash that aren't the best quality but still is entertaining
My guilty pleasure is The Selection Series. Not the greatest of books, and obviously you can guess how they end. Butttttttt so addicting. It's like The Bachelor in book form.
For me, Any YA is a guilty pleasure, except John Green, I don't feel pleasure while reading him. I know loads of people love him, I guess I'm an exception.
Lilith Carter Me too. I'm bored most of the times when I'm reading his books.
Lilith Carter I'm glad I'm not the only one. I never finish his books, and I find his personality off putting. *shrug*
Lilith Carter As much as I like him as a human being, his books have a formula and it feels like once you've read one you've read them all.
Literally the only decent book he’s ever written, in my not-so-humble opinion is tfios.
I wouldn't consider the Shadowhunter's chronicles as something guilty, but if someone comes and ask you "what are you reading?" And you try to explain city of bones to them...well, is awkward
Giselle Luna It's the covers for TMI that make them guilty lol
Haha, I've tried that too! Mostly I just told my friends too, and failed miserably at explaining them, mostly I just told my friends to trust me and made them all read them.
I'm so glad you made a video about this. I have a teacher at college who says that "bestsellers are not literature and are for people who cannot even read"... I agree that MAYBE they are not the best books in the world, but like you say, if you like it, there's nothing wrong.
Nuria Hill Sometimes books become best sellers because they are such good books as well though! Perhaps that is more of the 'slow burn' books than addictive ones though.
I didn't really consider Angelfall a guilty pleasure read. I LOVED them so much and they are some of my favorite books.
guilty pleasures would be more like twilight.. trying to list more but i can't.. it's just twilight lool
Shamy Moments I know this comment is two years old but like true
My guilty pleasure is Twilight series.. I read it so many times.. still do when I feel the need for some Jacob.lol
HOW DO H PERFER JACOB, HE KISSED BELLA KNOWING SHE LIKED EDWARD HE'S THE BIGGEST DICK HOOOOOOW DO I LIIIIKE HIM?
I feel like I'm the only person who likes TMI more than TID. (I love both of them, just TMI more.) I'm alone in the world.
U r not alone. Even I like TMI more than TID. And I like Jace more than Will too.
I thought I was the only one 🙌
I like TMI more than TID as well, but of course I like both. I honestly think that a lot of people like TID better because Cassie keeps getting better and better as a writer with each book and you can see the difference between her first book and her last book and she has just improved and improved as a writer. I still TMI more tho.
Pauline Liu Totally love Clace and all the tmi characters. I think just because it is more modern I fly through them faster. I love tid as well but the whole totally over dramatic love story in tmi just makes it so addicting to me!
You're not alone, i prefer tmi, and i love the tmi characters way more than tid characters..i mean i love tid too but not as much as tmi
I wonder why it is that "guilty pleasure" is used when describing some books? What makes one book of more literary value over another? I constantly have this argument at my work (I'm a librarian) and I am afraid I fall down on the side of this - if ANY book is enjoyed by ONE reader then that book is of value. We can wish and hope that people read great literary pieces such as SOME classics. But really, why? I have always read "airport fiction" and I always will... so why should I feel guilty? I read to escape, to have fun, not too view life philosophically and not to try and delve into the deeper meaning of text written etc.
So, that being said, I understand the difference between "literary" books and others, but I really do object to calling them "guilty pleasures" I refuse to feel guilt over any book I read. Maybe, it is the difference between those who review books and those (like me) who just rate books on how much I enjoy them (or not!)
Wendy Fraser I think 'guilty pleasure is just a label with different meaning for everyone. The actual definition is: something, such as a movie, television program, or piece of music, that one enjoys despite feeling that it is not generally held in high regard. The book world as a whole is FULL of opinions of what makes a good book and often gives that impression on certain books or genres regardless of whether we personally take it seriously. A guilty pleasure is just another term for enjoying something not everyone thinks highly of. Maybe it's the wrong word choice - a better term might be indulgent pleasure?
Kate N Might be that I am a tad overly sensitive to this terminology after being criticized for many MANY years over the types of books I read from "airport fiction" to "trashy romances" and now lately it's "you're a grown woman, what are you doing reading YA?".
But I do take your point. Happy Indulgent reading to all =)
Wendy Fraser That's probably where the term came from as a defense- calling it a guilty pleasure seems to verify that we realise it isn't literature at it's finest but we'll read it anyway cause we like it! I think it's just a case of culture picking a too strong, apologetic word in terms of literal meaning, but when it's used as a term in this sense, it doesn't place such a strong emphasis on guilty. i totally agree with you in that we should enjoy the right to read what we want to read, but it doesn't stop others from judging unfortunately.
I completely agree with you! Completely. Yes I love reading but one thing I don't like to read is classics. I've tried to read so many different ones but I always get so bored & don't understand half the things that are written. Lol.
If you happen to enjoy reading for the sake of knowledge, cool!
To me it's not important whether I get the moral of the story, (although sometimes you do gain that), but it's about ENJOYING yourself no matter what genre you're reading.
Wendy Fraser TRUTH🙌🏻
I would say Twilight is my longest-lasting guilty pleasure. I know it's poorly written, but the teen romance is just so sweet and so simple. Twilight is also what I refer to as my "gateway book," because it was the first book I read, way back when I was 11, that kick-started my passion for reading. I still re-read it.
Also, I love all the Shadowhunter books. I just love the world Cassandra Clare created, but they totally are guilty pleasure books. I will say that I definitely agree with you in that the Infernal Devices trilogy is better. I think she just stretched out The Mortal Instruments series a little too long and a lot too thin.
Why is The Infernal Devices a guilty pleasure??? I've read them four times and cried every time I finished Clockwork Princess! The writing is beautiful and the theme is amazing. Honestly no matter how insane the love triangle is everybody needs to read it
Shatter Me and Shadowhunters are your GUILTY pleasures??
fifty shades of gray and shatter me are my guilty pleasures... bye
You made me laugh so much in this video!! I loved your description for sweet evil, i have read the trilogy and it literally is what you have described it as but i still loved it. Love you Regan!
OMG!! Shatter Me and Sweet Evil trilogies are the BEST!!!!! They're also my guilty pleasure reads too! I'm so happy you featured them in this video!
I think infernal devices was WAY better than city of bones! I have been liking lady midnight though
Haha I love the way you described the bronze horseman! Loved this video! I want more book tubers to do this!:)
YES! I have to agree about the Shatter Me series. I was absolutely obsessed lol. I binged read the books and novellas in less than a week.
The Vampire Academy novels by Richelle Mead are my favorite guilty pleasure books. They're exactly as ridiculous as you think, but I really like the main character. She's not a Mary Sue- she's hot and badass and she knows it. I highly recommend them for the next time you're in a guilty pleasure mood.
One series that has been my guilty pleasure since I was a teenager is The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot... I don't really know what it is about that series, the books are just hilarious and stupid and awesome that I can't not feel good when I read them even now as an adult.
Caroliina Jasmin Same! I was so excited to hear another one is coming out in June. I don't know why, but something about that series just makes me happy.
YESSSS!
Caroliina Jasmin Basically all of her books have that same quality. I have over 30 of her books, they were basically my tweenhood and I still read some of them. My favourites were the Mediator series and the Missing series (I think it's known as 1-800-Where-R-You in the US).
blueskiesbooks Oh, really? I didn't even know! That's awesome. 8D
Caroliina Jasmin Yes, I just found out two or three days ago. It's set in modern day, so Mia will be early to midtwenties when it starts! :D
I GET SO HAPPY WHEN YOU POST A VIDEO!!!
I don't really have any guilty pleasure reads or anything for that matter. I'm not really guilty in any of my pleasures. Great video though! I added all those books to my tbr. :D
I am so happy you made this video! I trust you're opinion on a lot of books (we seem to have very similar tastes) and this just made me smile!!
Personally, the Vampire Diaries series (at least the first four books) are a totally guilty pleasure series for me! They are fun, fast paced, loosely rooted in traditional vampire lore, insta-love packed, and slightly ridiculous, but they make me smile and I can get through them ridiculously quickly! Ain't nobody gonna make me feel bad for loving those books! :D
I love your videos! I feel bad because I haven´t read any of those books, and my TBR list is enormous
I completely agree about SHATTER ME! And of course, Cassandra Clare. By the way, your hair looks really good! :)
I read the sweet evil trilogy because of you! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks!
WILL HERONDALE
Yes Angelfall! I read both of those books in less than 3 days
Angelfall sounds amazing!
It is. It really is
I love reading every book in the Finding Sky series because they're all so short but so amazing!
"No matter which way you slice and/or dice it" Gaahh that was a good one Regan!! 😂😃💕
Omg I loved the shatter me series and I loved sweet evil series just yes
Omg! Thank you for this video. I read the End of Days triology after watching this and they are my favorite books now!!!!
Hi! First time commenter. I have been devouring your videos and you've inspired me to start my own BookTube channel. Thanks so much for just being awesome!
I totally agree with you about angelfall!!!! I just finished the last book and when you mentioned it I couldn't help but mentally scream YESSSSS!!!!!!
your reviews are awesome!
I absolutely LOVE the Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices!! I'm so excited for her new series to come out next year. She's also currently working on an e-book series (like the bane chronicles) called Tales from the Shadow Hunter Academy, i'm assuming it's about Simon's adventure through learning to be a shadow hunter. I have read everything she's written and i'm so ready for the rest of her books to be published. Cassandra Clare could keep writing books for the next 100 years and i'd be happy and perfectly content. :D
I love sweet evil so much! Just finished the 1st one and I can't wait to start the 2nd!
soooo jealous of those book shelves. I cant wait to fill mine and get more shelves!
Your videos make me really happy. :)
Some of the comments in here are ridiculous LOL! Okay, first of all, this whole video is just this booktuber's opinion. Just because she classifies it that way, doesn't mean you have to. You are allowed to disagree with her, but don't shame her for having an opinion, even if you don't agree! Reading is subjective, we all look at books different ways. And saying something is "good" is being subjective. Writing is a type of storytelling art form. Some people will love a certain book, others will hate it, others will love it but think its not the best written, etc. ITS ALL SUBJECTIVE! No one is right or wrong. End of story. The whole point of discussing them is to learn from each other and look at things in a different way. Just like any other art form. Even the best critics and well educated in literature disagree all the time on what is good or bad!
I was on spring break this past week and I literally only read that kind of books... They're so fun and easy to read that I read one per day! I don't regret it though, they make me really happy :)
I want to see more people make videos like this. It's so relatable!
Angel Fall and World After OMG I read it 4 months ago and still think about it especially when someone talks about angels! Love it so much! Can't wait for the third book
"angelfall" is my favourite book! love it!
totally agree about the shatter me triology loved it!
I watched a few of your videos the last few days in search of a new booktuber to follow. You talking about Will Herondale: Subscribed.
'Big, strong, dark, handsome, soldier man' haha XD
The Shatter Me trilogy was probably my biggest guilty pleasure as well. Couldn't put them down! I would add Stephanie Perkins's books to the list as well. And I own The Bronze Horseman and really want to read it soon!
omg what i love the angel fall series, the mortal instruments series, & the infernal devices series. they're definitely not simply "guilty pleasures" for me
My biggest guilty pleasure books definitely are all of Eva Ibbotson's books. I own several and they are just so uplifting and sweet and are great at getting me out of reading slumps
Clockwork Angel and City of Bones! YESSS! I just started reading it, but hehehehe.., first book is enough to get you addicted
I love the mortal instruments so much!!!
You have two series from my guilty pleasure list on your list ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥺
(Shatter me and Angelfall)
Haha I bought Shatter Me because of you. I still need to get to World After. The Black Dagger Brotherhood series, the Gone series and The Vampire Academy series are my guilty pleasures.
Hi! I am a new follower and I loved this video. I have a degree in French Literature but still, in my favorites (hate me for it) there is the two first books of the Twilight Saga and I also have read the story of Tatiana and Alexander and gosh it was dramatic but I really enjoyed it at the time (I was around 17 I think).
The Selection and the Ruby Red series are my ultimate guilty pleasure reads! Oh and also Shatter Me :D
Finally someone talks about sweet evil! I agree with you I think it's the best in the genre of angels and demons and that stuff. Loveed the three books!
Don't be ashamed of what you love to read. I love most of those books and the ones I don't I defiantly will check out. There is no shame in what you love to read and be proud of it!!!! :)
Omg the shatter me series is SO GOOD
OMG!!!! I love this video. So funny & cute. I think everyone has this book/books that are weird but still amazing!
Now, to comment on the video--loved it! I agree with most of your choices. I LOVED Shatter Me so much, but I didn't love the rest of the trilogy nearly as much. I just couldn't get into the love triangle. I could never justify Warner. But I did really like Juliet and the writing was really good, especially that first book. I also agree the Infernal Devices is much better than The Mortal Instruments...she grew leaps and bounds as a writer from series to series IMO. That whole trilogy is just so beautiful, and incredibly quote worthy. Such great characters!
Shatter me is a favorite!!!
Penryn book 3 comes out May 12th I believe, and I am so excited! I may reread 1 & 2 because it's been a year or so.
OH MY GOSH THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS ARE AMAZING AAAHHHHH
Sweet Evil and the sweet trilogy is my everything ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, to all of them! Another one that was an amazing guilty pleasure book for me was the His Fair Assassin trilogy, by Robin LaFevers! So deliciously addictive!
This helped so much! I’m gonna get these books. For me, red queen by Victoria Aveyard , is my guilty pleasure even though I hated, HATED kings cage...
Yes! none of my friends agree with my but TID is soooooo much better than TMI!!! I almost cried when you said that. really and truely
Love shatter me also, great series
YES to the Infernal Devices being better than the Mortal Instruments. I didn't even finish TMI because I couldn't get myself to read the fourth one anymore. That series went on way too long.
***** 4-6 really weren't needed, but if you ever do feel like retrying, 4 and 5 are totally redeemed by how good book 6 is.
City of Lost Souls and Fallen Angels werent needed, but City Of Heavenly Fire is just woww.
ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS! Loved that sappy book ;)
I liked this idea & the thumbnail. One of mine would be 'Ten Things We Did & Probably Shouldn't Have'. It's pretty much fluff, but kept me reading
The Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter I read them all through high school up until my second year of Uni! I loved those characters so much :)
All these sound amazing honestly, I don't have a 'guilty pleasure' category in my mind if I like the book, I like it.
For me Vampire Academy is one of my faves. I'm only on the third book right now but it's soooo addicting! Also The Selection, don't know why I love that series but I do!
The infernal devices is soooo good! I really loved all the characters, the setting of the story, the plot twists... And Jem is probably the cutest character ever
Hey hold on TMI is not a guilty pleasure! I really can't see why these books are ridiculous, actually it is my favourite book series we're talking about! Cassandra Clare is one of the most talented authors of YA books and I feel lucky to be one of her fans! There is nothing bad written about these books, they are not like anything else it just brings so many emotions to the readers. Have you read TID? I don't know about you but I kept crying about Herongraystairs for like three nights! Cassandra brought a whole new world to life and I do not accept the idea of anyone calling the Shadowhunter Chronicles a guilty pleasure! So there!
I never really thought of Shatter Me as a guilty pleasure read, but now that I think about it I guess it is. I got my sister to read it and all she reads is contemporary.
End of Days by Susan Ee comes out May 12th. Can't wait to finish this trilogy! Love these characters!
The thumbnail for this video is adorable!
Sweet Evil! Yes! Totally a guilty pleasure, I need to read the 3rd book. And The Bronze Horseman!! FAVVVVV
Makeup on fleek💁😍
Oh my goodness the mortal instruments are amazing how could you say they ate ridiculous😢 I love those books😍
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer trilogy is definitely one of my guilty pleasures!
Oh the house of night series are definitely guilty pleasures for me. Oh and the morganville vampires series. both series have so many books, but they are quick, fast paced reads.
Sookie Stackhouse is my guilty pleasure. The writing is pretty fun though. I read the entire series in a week while I worked at a summer camp.
Interesting topic. I don't don't know if I have any guilty pleasures in books. What a tragedy, I need to get some asap!
I feel like "guilty pleasures" translates into "YA paranormal romance" lol mine are Vampire Academy, the Lux series, and TMI/TID but i dont really feel that guilty about those bc they are literally everything that i desire in most books lol
The bronze horseman - Guilty pleasure!!! :D
I tried The Bronze Horseman thanks to you and I LOVED IT. There is so much drama in that book (which i normally don't like) but I still loved it.
i know right ! a lot of people didn't like it but TBH was amazing i even cried in the end. You should continue reading the trilogy, it may seem boring in some parts but you won't regret it when you finish them.
I plan to continue but I am so busy with work that I don't have time to read anything :(
Loved this video
The On Dublin Street Series by Samantha Young. definitely my favorite guilty pleasure reads
Read selection and delirium
Um...none of these books are guilty pleasures. A guilty pleasure is a something your ashamed to love and most of the books you chose are known for being amazing. Its books like twilight that are guilty pleasures because their known for being cheesy and not very good. like seriously shatter me, the writing style is beautiful and I love recommending it to people because it makes me look smart even though my favorite book is still harry potter.
2NE1 pilots most people dislike the shatter me trilogy though. Because of the bad world building and the writing style. I personally loved it. Lotta people hated it tho
My guilty pleasure books are the experiment in terror series by Karina Halle. I seriously can't get enough of them !
Can anyone please tell me what classifies a book as a "guilty pleasure"? Must people always read profound classic books?
