I 100% agree with you regarding the Special Editions, like I understand that people like special editions but it feels like EVERY SINGLE BOOK is becoming a special edition. OR, every book is coming out already with sprayed edges and hard cover (red tower books for instance).
i personally think colleen hoover isn't a good author in terms of writing and what she's said to have done. but my main problem was how back in 2021/2022, people would be threatened for even giving her books 3 stars (i was a victim) and that could play into the strong disliking. i do agree some people are hating on them because they think it's cool...if you like her books, okay. and if you don't that's good😅
some of these opinions are so funny because like.. did they realize who they are sending them too?? "i didnt like lauren asher" DO YOU WATCH LARRY AT ALL 😭😭😭😭😭😭
YES Omfg larry i think your explained about ‘overrated’ being used as a reason for simply not liking a book (which is fine if u dont like that then its just not for u bby) but could you do a tier ranking of book boyfriends in your opinion? I also think your point about aaron warner is acc a good point LOVE U 🫶🫶
age gap is not gross. two consenting adults are not gross. what’s gross is the older one knowing the younger one when they are a minor and then waiting til their 18 or up, that’s NASTY.
I completely agree with you. but personally I don't really like age gap in general, it's a bit weird to me😭but I agree, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's just not for me😭
thank you for talking about booktok! honestly it makes me so sad seeing people bash each other for liking certain books or recommending them so im glad someone has stepped up and said something 🫶
Girl, you're such a safe space for us book girlies 😢 Your words help me so much to get through with the hate that a specific group of people is giving right now. I'll never regret following you ✨️
I agree that audio is a valid way to read. I love audio books. They’re fun. I also agree not everything I read in a book is something I want to do. Sometimes I do but sometimes not. Like I do dom/sub stuff so those books appeal to me. But like you said I also read books about murderers and I’m not out here murdering. Some people are so righteous and judgey. Geeezzz
i have people who love coho around me and admittedly i did used to like her books when she was releasing them. but over the years after hearing how she responded to someone about her son SA-ing them, the odd coloring book about it ends with us, and the like, i haven’t been able to pick up any of her books again. with sjm i also loved acotar-preordered acowar even-but then i found out how she used one of the victims during BLM to insensitively advertise for her books and the urge to read the tog series also fled me.
I 100% agree on the term “overrated”. Oftentimes it’s used as a way of saying you don’t like the book, but it kind of comes across as just because you don’t like it means that others shouldn’t either or that they’re wrong for liking it. There are popular books I didn’t vibe with, but I wouldn’t say they were overrated or that those that do enjoy that book are wrong.
for the dark romance topic i'm sorry thank you so much for saying this. It drives me insane when I see it on TikTok and Instagram. People will judge you for what you read and I'm like I just like it for the drama sometimes I like mafia romance or dark romance, literally for the drama I will never support it real time 😭 sometimes while I'm reading it I'm like this dude is crazy. There is no way, but I'm still reading it because it's drama so glad that you said that because reading is a safe space and no one should be judged for what they are reading 😂❤ and just because I read it does not mean I support it or I'm even into it😭😭😭
I'm dyslexic so audible is awesome for me because it makes it easier to hear the book than to read it sometimes. There is nothing wrong with hearing audio books.
No, I get the enemies to lovers hate. It’s like- I get people loving “They see the worst in me and love me anyway.” But I’d rather not have someone who was mean to me? I guess that leans into the “bully” trope.
“A lot of people deal with their trauma for instance by reading these things a lot of people explore their mindsets by reading these things” I’ve been heard I’m actually tearing up a little 🥹❤️
as someone who adores the found family trope, thrillers and sports romance..I might not be a full on dark romance reader but I do love me some drama...I'm all about dark themes being explored in a book(if done right) cannot stand bully romance and sa being overlooked in particular though...and you're so right- just because one likes dark romance doesn't mean they'll support it in real life..one of my friend's favorite trope is dark romance.. but she knows that whatever she consumes from a book/social media is very different from reality and shouldn't be supported irl..however I have seen some girlies on tiktok..hate on others who find dark romance books disturbing..they would glorify the most atrocious things and wish it happened to them(and they were genuine about it.. that's the scary part)...some people are crazy on tiktok I swear..
2:16 Regarding the Special Editions: I completely agree with you Larissa omg! At this point, I wish authors would consider just having an official cover of their series, and if they have new designs to showcase, just make dust jackets or mini posters the same size of the books. As much as I love the look of special editions, it's come to a point where a lot of my favs are coming out with new ones like every year, and they can be so expensive. It's not like I can just drop $50 on a whole new set whenever it's announced. Then there's also the fact that they are limited too. I know it's a business, but it low-key plays at those of us with OCD and anxiety, where we feel like we HAVE to get these beautiful special editions, and we only have xyz amount of time to get them. Not to mention, they are the same exact book(s) as the originals, but with a different cover or a few added pages at the end with a Q&A, etc. Edit: I have only bought the originals for whatever series I want to read, I didn't buy any special editions. I know people like to say "oh no one's forcing you to buy them", but I'm just making the same point Larissa is making^. It's about the principle tbh, making different official pretty covers (some with sprayed edges) of the same series and books over and over each year. The new covers themselves are usually enticing, and make some of us feel like "we have to have it", even if some of us don't actually buy them. Obviously this practice works since it's become pretty popular to do this. (Not to mention physical/online stores using words like "LIMITED EDITION" and "Available for xyz time ONLY", "Get them now while supplies last" as their selling tactics.)
Every time I think of the accidental pregnancy trope, I think of Heartless by Elsie Silver too! Everyone hates that because Cade's reaction but I think he was completely valid in his reaction, he was already a dad and Willa getting pregnant scared him because he thought of the relationship failing like it did with Luke's mum.
I think hating on colleen isn't a trend, its the way she sometimes writes problamatic stuff that people doesn't acknowledges, the abuse in november 9, miles being toxic asf and then romanticizing it (how is saying another woman's name w you is okay???) in ugly love, talking about legit "big balls" of their new born son in ugly love, making a sequel to it ends with us when the story wasn't about romance but domestic abuse and lily. Tiktok especially influences young readers and a lot of ya audience to romanticize that shit into real life too. I know that they called you to look at their movie or wtv but its still sad that you think its a trend
@@sundaylibreoh my godd gillll I love you for this ....confess is such a great novel with no smut and it ends with us and how it portray abuse ,also all your perfects with fertility issues, ugly love for past trauma i love these books they really teached me many things
Did Laura ever answer why she doesn’t like enemies to lovers because I just can’t fathom why someone would hate it. It makes me giggle and kick my feet fr
YOUR OPINION ON DARK ROMANCE IS SO RIGHT👏👏. I am getting so TIRED of seeing people shame others for liking it and think that it automatically means they support it in real life. If that were the case, then those who are hating also have to hate the vampire diaries (the main characters have killed innocent people), and there are so so many more examples. Just because you like something fictional does not mean that you support it in real life and you also have no idea why people are reading these books. We should be putting more focus on people who are actually causing harm to others, rather than people who aren’t hurting anyone by reading a book in the comfort of their own home🤍
yall are so fucking weird, life imitates art and it is necessary for authors to not market extremely problematic books like haunting adeline as romance. as a SA survivor i think it is very very offensive to try and portray r*pe as romantic. in tvd the main characters hurt others but never their love interest, even in enemies to lovers there should be a limit that should never be crossed. also people who solely read dark romance are as worse as men who are p0rn addicts
Ehh it depends on what's in the book like yes it's fiction but it doesn't make someone less weird for romanticizing really extreme things. Those people can use the excuse it's a book but they're still weird 🤷🏾♀️. Ex. what's romantic about someone getting graped? But I agree with u for the most part.
@@mollylpotterBut imo books like haunting Adeline can be found as upsetting for actual stalking or SA victims since someone in a book is literally an SAer and a stalker and are getting obsessed over😭
@@mollylpotterIdk abt other ppl tho I’ve js heard ppl online who have dealt w these issues upset that people are romanticizing something tragic that happened to them like it’s a good thing
I never thought the Colleen Hoover beef was about her writing (it might have been I just didn’t view it that way bc I like her writing) I personally thought it was about everything that came out about her son and the allegations against him and her supporting him through those because I didn’t really see any hate towards her until that happened BUT I could be completely wrong idk
the folks who say that audiobooks do not count as reading seem to forget that blind and vision impaired people exist, and that not all of them know how to read braille. and I'm not an expert but I'd be willing to bet that a lot of books out there that aren't translated ? transcribed ? into braille.
I agree about epilogues as someone who has no interest in having kids, I don’t need to see every couple turn into the married with 2.3 kids to realize they’re happily ever after. I can imagine whatever happily ever after id like for them after the book.
I love your laughter and your sunny and chatty personality❤ Watching your videos really helps me when I feel blue, Thank you!😊 And about CoHo, I haven't read that much from her, but I absolutely adore All your perfects, and the only reason why I haven't kept up with her books yet is that they're not giving me the escapism I want.
I was like six years old cheering on Derek and Casey with my whole heart. I wanted them to be together SO BAD. And that probably did change my brain chemistry. That probably did happen. I feel you
That you mentioned For The Fans I want to reread the book soon. I’m reading now the second book in the Sinners Duet and loving it and afterwards I want to read Her Soul To Take Trilogy and Pen Pal. 🧡
Nah bro cuz some people will sit there, read dark romances and legitimately be like ohhh my new "book boyfriend I dont care that he disregards consent" Zade ❤❤ like bro some people do romantisize these people, that is inarguably wrong. No one thinks that just because you read somthing you support it or everyone would come after thriller readers people can read these books in a mature way but people legitimately worship these guys like the ground they walk on like bruv
I read the first 4 books in the Boys of Tommen series!!!! I loved all 4 I didn't even know you liked them!!!! I loved Shannon and Johnny but I honestly think my favorite is Joey and Aoife from Saving 6!!!!
BESTIE! When u mentioned Life with Derek I’m like SAMEE! Also I saw the actress who played Casey (Ashley Leggit) at a school I was supplying at and I was too nervous to go say hi and I thought it would be unprofessional to all of the sudden fangirl when she is just trying to pick up her kid from school lol
Omg I love you so much! You are such an open minded, non-judgy person... I just adore you. Keep being yourself ❤ you're perfect. And you make me laugh so much everytime😂❤
Another problem I have with surprise pregnancy that most of the time it's after they didn't use protection. Is it truly a surprise then? Like if I get into water I'm going to be wet and I don't act surprised either.
i don't really like when people say listening to audio books doesn't count as reading because it just comes off as pretentious and "oh that's not REAL reading" instead of just letting people enjoy something. I agree with what you said about of course the act of listening and reading is objectively different and that you are still consuming the media, and can formulate ideas together despite listening or reading since you have taken in the knowledge and qualities of the book because you engaged with it, the only difference is someone listened and someone read. Not everyone can read in the traditional way, like of course there are people who physically cannot, like being blind, but also what about people that find difficulty in consentrating, some people are better at audtitorary consumption than visual. what about if you're busy; i know when i'm driving to work i like to listen to the audio because i mean... you know... i can't really have my nose in a book while driving now can i lmao. i also have a friend who has a baby and she listens to the book while she takes care of them, and she can hold them and also listen to a book. i just don't understand some people who have a stick up their arse with audio books like let people enjoy it.... im sorry for this long yap i just needed to type it out haha.
for dark romance, i think it's just that people glorify and romanticize SA and torture which shouldn't. i don't like colleen hoover because of the author herself. Her son's actions and her actions. I personally never enjoyed her writing and plot either because it didn't make sense. Especially her most popular It Ends With Us. my unpopular opinions: - i hate books where there is self destructive characters who's actions are justified when really they are just cruel. (lizzie young, loren hale, etc) - i hated magnolia parks and addicted calloway - i don't like the cartoonish covers, especially when the book isn't a fluffy romcom - i don't like rom coms - im sad that booktok and "good books" are just smut now
I just started Throne of Glass and I am in love. I loved ACOTAR but this series is fascinating me and has me pulled in. I dont like the word "overhyped" either , but I will say I avoid super popular books and authors. I will eventually read them after the hype dies down. It took me months to convience myself to read ACOTAR. I have spent the majority of this year reading some of the oldest books on my TBR that I have put off for years due to the hype they had.
I truly think that you are going to love Throne of Glass. It has some similarities so far to ACOTAR but is also very different. I love the main character of TOG too! I look forward to reading the Tommen Boys and Magnolia Parks series! Also I love your content, I found you very recently and I have loved your content so much!
Unpopular opinion: Enemies to lovers where he’s been in love with her the entire time is not enemies to lovers
True
REAL!!! Better than the movies is childhood friends to lovers

15:53 ok that’s so real abt Aaron Warner (and I’m 14 so….) he’s just so meh like I love him but like KAI AZER!?!!? TEN TRILLION FIMES BETTEERRRR
Would love to see those kind of videos again 💗
I love the big floppy paperbacks they release now, so the spine doesn't break.
I read the first 4 books in the Boys of Tommen series!!!! I loved all 4 I didn't even know you liked them!!!! I loved Shannon and Johnny but I honestly think my favorite is Joey and Aoife from Saving 6!!!!
Girl, wait for the ending of Reckless, I just finished it yesterday night and I'm NOT OKAY. I just booked therapist until April
I’m so happy I found you!! Binging your content right now!
BESTIE! When u mentioned Life with Derek I’m like SAMEE! Also I saw the actress who played Casey (Ashley Leggit) at a school I was supplying at and I was too nervous to go say hi and I thought it would be unprofessional to all of the sudden fangirl when she is just trying to pick up her kid from school lol
I love my kindle because I can lay down and read 😅 but always love a physical book 📖 😊
Omg I love you so much! You are such an open minded, non-judgy person... I just adore you. Keep being yourself ❤ you're perfect. And you make me laugh so much everytime😂❤
The glen Powell part had me dying 😂😂 Also I love your cup!!❤
Yayyyy the queen has posted☺️
You just made me whole day better! :D Bored, and stuck at work, and BOOM a video to watch. ❤
Larry, you are my absolute favorite person to watch on BookTube!!💕you make my day just so much better, every time you post🥰
Another problem I have with surprise pregnancy that most of the time it's after they didn't use protection. Is it truly a surprise then? Like if I get into water I'm going to be wet and I don't act surprised either.
i don't really like when people say listening to audio books doesn't count as reading because it just comes off as pretentious and "oh that's not REAL reading" instead of just letting people enjoy something. I agree with what you said about of course the act of listening and reading is objectively different and that you are still consuming the media, and can formulate ideas together despite listening or reading since you have taken in the knowledge and qualities of the book because you engaged with it, the only difference is someone listened and someone read. Not everyone can read in the traditional way, like of course there are people who physically cannot, like being blind, but also what about people that find difficulty in consentrating, some people are better at audtitorary consumption than visual. what about if you're busy; i know when i'm driving to work i like to listen to the audio because i mean... you know... i can't really have my nose in a book while driving now can i lmao. i also have a friend who has a baby and she listens to the book while she takes care of them, and she can hold them and also listen to a book. i just don't understand some people who have a stick up their arse with audio books like let people enjoy it.... im sorry for this long yap i just needed to type it out haha.
Chaotic Larry energy to start the day ❤
i SEE the enemies to lovers opinion think i’ve just had the worst experiences i find them so frustrating
for dark romance, i think it's just that people glorify and romanticize SA and torture which shouldn't.
i don't like colleen hoover because of the author herself. Her son's actions and her actions. I personally never enjoyed her writing and plot either because it didn't make sense. Especially her most popular It Ends With Us.
my unpopular opinions:
- i hate books where there is self destructive characters who's actions are justified when really they are just cruel. (lizzie young, loren hale, etc)
- i hated magnolia parks and addicted calloway
- i don't like the cartoonish covers, especially when the book isn't a fluffy romcom
- i don't like rom coms
- im sad that booktok and "good books" are just smut now
I'm half through a binge of books you've recommended on your channel and I'm not disappointed in any of them
i don’t usually comment but why do you look amazing this video?? literally so gorgeous.
I just started Throne of Glass and I am in love. I loved ACOTAR but this series is fascinating me and has me pulled in. I dont like the word "overhyped" either , but I will say I avoid super popular books and authors. I will eventually read them after the hype dies down. It took me months to convience myself to read ACOTAR. I have spent the majority of this year reading some of the oldest books on my TBR that I have put off for years due to the hype they had.
I absolutely love this!!! Me saying my opinions as if anyone could hear me!!😅 love you Larry!!!♥️
me eating dinner every night watching all of larry videos, sat down tonight and she’s posted 🎉🎉🎉
Even more unpopular opinion: I hate covers with people, cartoon or not. I prefer books with just text and a nice background 😬
i love enemies to lovers. i love the banter that's borderline flirting. 😂
“He is trees” 😂😂
The way I cackled when you said Alex from Twisted Love is paper. 🤣🤣🤣
how come everytime I watch your videos I laugh with tears, I love you girl
Love this!! It was so fun to watch 😂😂
I truly think that you are going to love Throne of Glass. It has some similarities so far to ACOTAR but is also very different. I love the main character of TOG too! I look forward to reading the Tommen Boys and Magnolia Parks series! Also I love your content, I found you very recently and I have loved your content so much!
Ugh..Larry.. you could honestly give me boring history lessons and I would still be giggling and listening to you with my full attention!!❤
