The worst thing ever written was a story I wrote using Chat GPT where Harry Potter makes Ron a disgusting sweet and sour dish. Ron complains about it so much everyone calls him Sour Ron. He uses magic to try get rid of the horrible taste in his mouth and accidentally transports himself to Middle Earth. The locals ask him his name and he says Sour Ron since everyone calls him that. The locals mistake it as Sauron. They start to fear him because he builds a magic portkey ring to get himself back to Hogwarts but it doesnt work and he turns into a giant flaming eye.
Probably still better than the cursed child /j
@@haerhawkStill better than The Cursed Child /srs
yeah no i think i would definitely read that
please publish that story somewhere I desperately need to read it
This is lowkey genius 😭
This is hilarious. Please do it again. “Stop making every male character Kylo Ren.” Yes sis!
The roasting mixed with your humor in this video truly is the best. Exactly what I needed today, thank you Emma!
my pleasure!!

"I wan't someone who knows me, not when I was this weird little kid crawling around in the mud, they can know me now, when I'm still crawling around in the mud" Pls Emma, that was the funniest
"Ian doesn't deserve the terror of being in this novella" I'm crying poor Ian
I agree with you, bad writing ALWAYS ranks a book lower for me. And then I question the standards of the publishing industry 😂
for real. it's like they see nice cover and say " yes, print it. the tiktokers will cover it"
I say this as a writer in the industry, there is no standard in the industry.
The industry standard is that where there is money to be made they can and will siphon it all out of every source until it is drier then the Sahara.
I watched a video of Emmie’s where she compared reading The Alchemist to having a Live, Laugh, Love decal in your house and I’ve been a loyal fan ever since .
😂 I’m so glad that was your intro to this channel lol

omg a definição PERFEITA de O Alquimista, estou passada
“the rover on mars is blowing up” love the attention to the mars rover 😭😭😭
lol apparently no one else was giving him any!!
Best books of the year videos are fun but Worst Books are a whole different level of fun! 😈
very true haha I love watching other people's!
The rant about that Ali Hazelwood book... I felt that deeply into my bones, girl.
The fire In the background represents the books she's about to roast ❤
Drunk Emma talking about bad books is my new favorite comedy genre.
Omg Emma, I almost spit out my tea when the pic of Mars with eyes and lips popped up😭
omg drunk emma trying to hold it together is such a mood lol
In bed sick right now and this is exactly what I needed. You truly have a talent for roasting books😂
I love this video! I loved it last year and I’m so glad you brought it back
I lost it at Gigamander. I remember when you discussed these books in other videos. This was hilarious, so fun! Happy New Year, Emma.
"I so rarely forget anything"
I'm so jealous 💀
I love these videos. I was looking forward to it. This year I read some awesome books thanks to your recommendations 😊 no complaints
9:11 😆 SHOTS FIRED!!!!!!! That was savage. I like it.
This was so chaotic, I loved it 🤌🤌
I don't want to encourage you to alcoholism by any means but damn... I just LOVE tipsy Emma 😂😂 I love these videos! Best time of the year for sure!
i love the rage slowly building up as you talk about each book
Oh my gosh; this was so great! I was laughing so much, some of those books just sound ridiculous!
I DNF horrible books, I'm old and I don't have time for bad books there are just too many good one I can be reading.

Eagerly waiting for your BEST BOOKS OF 2023 VIDEO !!!! ❄️☃️🥳🥳
I have the same problem with my belly button, I start screaming the second someone touch it 😂 I send all my love, I appreciate every video you film and I hope this year will bring you a lot of joy❤ Love from Italy
I was scrolling the comments to see if anyone mentioned the belly button part! 😂 I don’t get nauseous when it’s touched, but I get goosebumps and like a weird internal chill, similar to a brain freeze but in my stomach. Bleh, I can feel it just talking about it!
This really really makes me want to read random books and end up with really bad ones so that i can rant too😂 that’s a new one. love this Emma😁😁
yesss haha I love reading bad books sometimes! honestly just so fun
@@emmiereads yeah but there are funny bad books like Midnight Sun and really bad books where the author repeats themselves 100 times WITH THE SAME WORDS.
This made my day, thank you Emma❤️
I'm so glad!😂
Thank you for making me laugh, Emma!!! Your review for below zero really made me LOL 😂 😂
Emma I think this annual event/series should be called A Toast to the Roast. 🍷🔥 I just love these videos. (I can imagine you thinking in Holden Caulfield language: I always pick a gorgeous time to read a godawful goddamn book)
Love your humour, emma 🤭 thanks for the reviews and happy new year!! 🩵
The sass, the editing, the Freud Interlude. This was hilarious and I really love your sense of humor, thank you for the much needed laughter! 💙
YES! The thing about belly button sensitivity. I have that too and know other people who do. You're not alone
LOVE sassy and loosey goosey Emma!❤❤😂😂
Already looking forward to you doing this again next year! My worst book was definitely "The Pallbearers Club" by Paul Tremblay. It sounded like something I was going to enjoy, but really it wasn't worth it at all!
ur videos really just get better and better
i loved all the roasting and ranting emmie had me cackling
Thanks Emmie. You make even bad reviews fun to watch. And, because I generally like your lit taste, I will avoid these novels. But I may read house of leaves. I don’t like books that seem intentionally gimmicky, but I’ve heard reviews both pro and con so I’m curious. Happy New Year.
I'm always waiting for "the worst books of the year" videos the most!! I love the rants too much for some reason, hahaha.
Omg I was so looking forward to this video!! We love red-wine-Emma!!
I read my first Colleen Hoover this year which was definitely my worst reading experience.
Which one did you read?
@@michellemp1626 Verity
“He’s like this little cinnamon roll” is my new favorite description for humans ever
That was hilarious, and I can't wait for your best books of the year, I always like to guess which ones will be on top :)
Refreshing! Love it 💖
This feels like ASMR but not for sleep just for pure relaxation reasons.
My last book of 2023 was Central Places by Delia Cai also because it’s about a girl going back to central Illinois for the holidays and I recently moved to central Illinois and thought oh wow this is me. It wasnt nearly as bad as you described Every Summer After, but it was just so odd. *spoilers* the main character leaves her fiancé that she had a great relationship with and randomly starts deteriorating when they get to her hometown… and he also completely changes and I think it was just poor writing not the location change… but anyways she leaves him to be with her high school not even boyfriend but crush… just so odd.
Your hair looks very lovely!!! Love this video, you are hilarious!!!
Lol, watching Emma slowly getting drunk and still deliver this masterpiece! 🎉😂❤
14:04 omgggg I'm literally on the floor 😂
I despise the Shatter Me series, so it's pretty cathartic to watch you drag one of the books haha
ajsjddmejdj she compared him to Mars LMAO i’m losing it💀
Slowly getting back to reading at least one book per year (used to read a lot but school and life made me busy + usually the books I wanna read come late to my country so yeah, but I'm slowly getting back into it tho) and I refuse to read most of the hyped booktok authors/books (rwrb was exception bc it was perfect to ease my stressed brain and I read it during the holidays, also having couple of lgbt books (which are quote popular on booktok) on my tbr) and I wheezed when I checked out some upcoming 2024 books and Ali Hazelwood is coming back again with a book with a vampire main character and an ALPHA MALE. A were alpha male. I propably won't read her works ever but geez this woman seems to write in a speed of light bc she almost constantly publishes new books left and right.
Your ranting once again was glorious and I had a great time listening it. Thank you Emma and happy new year!
I don't know if you have seen Jack Edward's videos talking abou the worst books of the year but similar vibes, very funny roasting of books, never thought I would enjoy these so much haha
Although I love when you talk about your 5* reads, it's so entertaining to see you ramble about the questionable books you find along the way. Couldn't stop laughing when you told the girl to get her lumps checked out. Or when you figured out what gigamanders were
Emmie please please 🙏 do more fantastic videos like this one as it’s a absolute five 5️⃣ star ⭐️ love it 🥰 and your amazing 😻 and fantastic channel keep up your awesome content love your Aussie family friend John 💚💛💚💛hope you have had a great Christmas and New Year ❤❤❤
The Mars picture 💀 and then the Freud comment!!
I have got to know what your final thoughts on “Manacled” were so that I can decide if I want to finish it. Lol
Love the way you talk♥️👑
Tipsy Emma made me belly laugh. Thank you.
"That's so chic of you" 😭
Waiting eagerly for your classic lit tier list for 2023
Ooh yes that is coming soon!!
Nicely done, highly entertaining 🔥
18:42 “as dry as a setting”, checks out with the whole desert and all
I'm actually crying laughing 😭🤣 literally gasping for air lololol 😂 "When the title and the rating are the same. That's weird 👀" HELP 😭💀😭💀
IVE ALWAYS WANTED THAT FIREPLACE 😮
Drunk Emma really is something else 😂
Have you heard of The memoirs of Stockholm Sven? Currently reading this and it's based in Svalbard ❄️
What a cozy corner 😍. Hmm, books i liked the least in 2023 were probably one of the Red Rising books I read for a readalong discussion. Empty calories.
I took a break from the Count of MC and started reading 1984 Julia by Sandra Newman. It's a retelling of 1984 from Julia's point of view. If your ready to return to Airstrip One you might enjoy this.
ah that sounds so cool!
I hope you visit Al-Farjani Library in London

The reason for the next 3 books in the shatter me series was 100 percent monetary. If I recall correctly Tehereh Mafi wanted to only write the first three books and the publishing company was like actually do three more or we will drop you. I could be wrong about this as well but, theres a big gap in publishing between the first three and the last three as well.
mid-rant, “oh wait I didn’t even tell you what this was about” 😂♥️
This is so cool !
Loved this, you are hilarious ❤
"...he's a golden retriever" 🤣 I love your humour.
Group trip to Svalbard!!!
emma this is so unhinged i love it-the lumpy mars hill image will stay with me for a long time I fear I look forward to this video every year and you never disappoint haha
LET THE RANT BEGIN!!!! ❤
My worst book of 2023 was Twisted Love by Ana Huang ... NEVER trusting the booktok girlies again after that one!
my worst book was Twisted Love as well! I thought nothing could beat Colleen Hoover's books but then I read this and... wow (derogatory). CoHo's writing is not any better, but her abusive and toxic male leads are angels compared to Alex Volkov.
I have House of Leaves on my shelf. After seeing your genuinely strong emotion to that book, it will remain there for a while longer… that book both calls and frightens me. I’m not ready 😅
Yesssss. I love a worst books list 💅🏻 also ew no my belly button is off limits always. No trespassing allowed. Forbidden land.
I’m not a huge fan of Ali Hazelwood’s past books either but check and mate by her was so so good, so if you do plan on trying one of her books again I recommend that one!
The way I laughed with this video😂😂😂😂😂 just what I needed, thank you so much Emma 💞
In the House in the Dark of the Woods by Laird Hunt omg I
had to DNF it because the main character refers to her husband as "My man" every few seconds (counted 5 times on one page) and it was so aggravating that I could not take it anymore. The writing was so odd, unnatural, and choppy that it actually seemed like it was written by AI, like chat bot or something.
IM LAUGHING SO HARD YOURE SO SASSY IN THIS VID I LOVE
“it’s called below zero. oh funny the rating is the same as the title” PLEASEEEE
That was a sick Freud impression wow 👏👏👏
The worst thing I read in 2023 was Jonathan Livingston Seagull. It's an allegorical novella written in 1970. It was a big deal when I was a teenager but somehow I never got around to reading it. Lordy, was it tedious. Absolute dreck. Cheers, Emma.
"When the title and the rating are the same thing, that's weird." Love this.
Ahh you seem so happy! Grateful you get to recharge at home with your family near. Love your videos so much. Happy New Year! P.s. this video had me cackling. ❤
I read so many of the Ali Hazelwood books and had to finally stop myself because I was hate reading them and each one was exactly the same.
"Very scary" 😂😂
All the sips after the Defy Me "he survives" hahahahah
This was so entertaining! 🤣
Is anyone else here waiting for the 2023 blooper reel? @emmiereads, we waiting patiently 😇
This was hilarious! Perfect start to my day💕 I read Below Zero last year as well and you couldn't have put it more perfectly, took the words right out of my mouth haha
Do this more often please, loved the roasting.
Mine was Pillars of the earth and my god was I never more regretful about not abandoning it after the first chapter like I wanted to. But I was adamant to torture myself at least a couple hundred more pages to be able to rant properly. Secret history was not as bad, but up there.
19:22 is the absolute best!
".. with... writing..."
This was so fun 😂
I'm loving the unhinged energy here lmao
