"pwease dont be mean online about my book 👉🥺👈 " and then writing a trashy prison r*pe novel is so funny
lmao right!?
"All the green tabs... are slurs." OH!
My exact response to the f slur in this book. OH!
"I'm gonna give you another hole to cry about" I did an honest to god spit take. I choked. Riley almost killed me. 🤣😆
🤭
I subscribed after that lmao
@@faellethefae same omgg
i genuinely can’t even believe how insane that book riley read was 😭 she’s soooo strong for that.
Right!? It was crazy
every time she said something new i was like WHAT ?!
Love a president who has commited war crimes and killed children 🥰. The second book sounded equally unhinged, though I lowkey love that the "it was all a hallucination" is making a come back
Honestly the fictional president sounds just like real one
I know right!
you can really tell who's never grown up with siblings 🤨
googling if sierra simone is an only child
Anyone making these incest books I'm convinced never had a sibling. Especially and older or younger one.
I can't find anything about her having siblings, but she does have two kids which I feel should drive any parent away from incest 😂
@@sarawithoutanHCassandra Claire
@@Lovefortea448 as a twin the thought of these incest books make me wanna cry even us twins DO NOT want this.
10/10 for comedy, 0/10 for romance 😂
Well, this is the fastest I've ever removed something from my TBR on goodreads and yeeted something from my e-reader. I feel like both me and my Kindle need a chemical shower.
Also, the person's name is NEVER an appropriate safe word! That's sketchy as hell!
glad to be of service
At least you didn’t read it 😅
24:14 “he said it tastes like sugar but they don’t have any soap” LMAOOOOOOOOOO I am gonna die laughing
American Queen being advertised as an Arthurian retelling because it has one guy named Merlin is so funny to me. Riley is braver than the troops for reading this.😂
Well, don’t forget the incestuous half-sister named Morgan. She’s definitely a stand-in for Morgan le Fay.
The cover from "American Queen" is the same as the spanish one of "The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo" 💀
Omg I just googled it - that is hilarious! They just photoshopped it a different color 😂
Why pay for more than one stock photo if you don’t have to 😂
omg that’s CRIMINAL 😭
YES i noticed that too and got really offended haha
THE WAY I TURNED MY HEAD AROUND AND STOPPED WASHING DISHES WHEN I HEARD "she is 7 years old" girl- the missing context
sometimes i think the romance genre is more like horror because the str8's are not okay.
As a str8 person myself, SAAAAAAAAAME!
Are the gay romance books any good?
Just asking ☺️
@@somethingcreative32 i've mainly only read the popular lgbtqi+ romance books but as a whole they're pretty good
@@somethingcreative32 well I don't know about a book but i read a lot manhwa i recommend her tale shim chong sadistic beauty gl (don't read the straight and bl one it hella toxic)
My biggest pet peeve is when writers use mental illness as an excuse to make a character violent/criminal/an asshole.
I hoped we left that behind in the days of Foxhole court....
That first one is really like she decided to write some really bad Merlin/Arthur/Gwen reincarnation fic with a dash of traditional Arthurian lore (i.e. incestuous affair with Morgan le Fey/Morgause = child) and combined in a way that makes everything 1000x worse 😂
“I have had that conversation with someone in an elevator before” had me howling 😂
Still wondering why the author gave povs from someone who was a literal hallucination.
She wanted her Fight Club Moment 😂
The fact I had this series by Sierra Simone on my "to read" list on Goodreads and how fast I hit delete after Riley explained the first book, absolutely not, I read a lot of questionable things sure but this is just a no!
We gotta draw the line somewhere!! And the president being obsessed with an underage girls is one of those lines 😭😂
My dream since age 14 was to see Merlin and Arthur together but American Queen is truly a perfect example of be careful what you wish for
“There’s a lot of cages in prison” 😭💀
😂😂
I have never seen Riley talk about a book like this before and she is just as funny as you this was so fun
Right!? I wish she would roast things more 😂
riley recounting american queen has given me war flashbacks. i should get a veterans discount for this
Just flash your goodreads review and they'll give you the discount
Back in middle school, the Merlin fandom was my first entry point into real fanfic hell, so I’ve read some *highly* suspect arthurian retelling stories, and yet, even the dregs of wattpad and ao3 don’t compare to American Queen
Riley was so funny in this video I was DYINGGGG I need more collabs between y’all!!
We are gonna make these a tradition when I visit her 😂
As a Ukrainian, the world building of Carpathia had me laughing out LOUD 😂 not only is there no country between Poland and Ukraine (as we share a border), Carpathia is not a country but a mountain range, that spans multiple countries, including Poland and Ukraine. So unhinged 😂
The mountains announced Independence. 😂
as a Pole, I was dying. why not use a real country? why not make up both? making up carpathia only is literally the weirdest possible choice
@@moose1277 right?? The author clearly consulted a map beforehand too. It is WILD 😂
Sometimes you just have to wonder if anyone is okay in this world. 😅
the answer is no
45K people gave American Queen a 3* or better rating, which was around 88% which 😭 makes no sense.
Perhaps they're all big fans of incest
@@sarawithoutanH Do you think all 6 volumes of this saga include that theme?
@@LynnHermione sure that's fair - and that goes for nearly every genre!
I’m really struggling to figure out how American queen is an Arthurian retelling but maybe it’s not meant to make sense
literally just the names of the characters.. I think Ash is Arthur and Greer is Guinevere lmao
It made NO sense. And apparently Merlin was actually magical and I’m like Huh??
The second book was straight up the plot of ‘Yaoi the Fanime’ 😭
“If you like this, I’m looking you dead in the eye, I’m judging you” 😂 you are the realest hahaha
This is my introduction to both of yall. I would never have pegged Riley for being so FUCKING FUNNY. Her commentary was just top tier dude. I hope y’all do this more often!
This was hilarious. The two of you should make this a series. 😂
we'll definitely do one every time i visit riley!
That nyla k book being a hallucination must've been rage inducing 😂 please tell me your initial reaction to that part
Honestly the only part that had me gasp was when we found out that kemper had a wife. The book was sooo bad it kind of made sense to have a terrible twist
Look, I get it, okay? I get the appeal of "forbidden romance". I get that not being able to live and love freely can be scary to a lot of people, especially because it's a real problem with the modern world for so many.
But, there's a limit. There has to be a limit. There's GOT to be some kind of line somewhere that shouldn't be crossed. _So why in the name of almighty God ARE SO MANY AUTHORS HELL BENT ON CROSSING IT??????_
It's like watching droves of sheep fall into a ditch one after one 😔😔😔
I think Sierra Simone just wanted to write a gay erotic novel but was too much of a Good God Fearing Woman™️ to actually commit to it fully.
So his name is Dasha... a russian female name (it's like Daria)
alright, i guess his parents aren't that russian after all
does it being spelled dascha help at all? lol
tbh i dont think nyla k does a lot of research 😂
@@sarawithoutanH there is literally no word in Russian that has the pronunciation like the word she used and it’s terrifying because it means she didn’t even use google while creating this abomination of a book
Plot twist: he's trans
@@sunnymoon370 good for him for living in the states, in Russia he would be considered a pervert, a pdfile and a criminal by most 😔😔
if you ever have a bonfire night, now you have kindling for the fire!
The first book sounds INSANE
OH MY GOD that prison book sounds so DISTURBING! props to both of you for being able to finish those books!
This intro explanation part gave me such whiplash
Girl when you showed the slurs and started like "And this woman only writes" i was expecting you to say 'this woman only writes in slurs' and i was more surprised that you didny 🙈
Tbh there's probably slurs in all of her books 😭
Some of the dialogue from the American queen book sounds like stuff the dementia patients I worked with would say when they were extremely confused. Also, the whole thing where he’s saying he basically committed war crimes reminds me of that Community episode where Britta dates a friend of Abed and Troy and the guy participated in a genocide and Britta doesn’t know how to tell Abed and Troy.
Lol, Steinbeck had an adult breastfeeding scene in Grapes of Wrath, not Of Mice and Men.
I mean either way miss sierra did not need to bring it up 😂😭
@@sarawithoutanH at least she's read a classic. 😂🤣😂
I thought I was going crazy. I could not remember that happening in mice and men!
@@Tappinatefor real! the women barely exist in Of Mice and Men 😅
this is my FAVORITE series to watch on your channel! please never stop!
Omg loved this one, you guys make such a great pair!
yall are so lovely! this was a great collab, the energy was so fun and giggly for the INSANE content lmao. Sending love
You’re both so hilarious and entertaining, this was an absolute pleasure to watch ❤ I hope you do more collabs!!
This video is absolutely hilarious! I love you two together❤
You’re literally my favorite youtuber for book reviews, you never fail to make me laugh 🤣🤣😭thank you for subjecting yourself to these books!!
Riley just saying wow every few seconds cracked me up so much😂
I loveeee these collab videos soo much ❤ I have been laughing the whole time 😂 throughout the video.
I recently read For the Fans by Nyla K and thought it was hot, but when I saw her other books were prison romance I took a hard pass. I feel validated.
wait.. but this made me want to read american queen i had to stop the vid which was hard because this collab was so hilarious. pls do more of these you guys are great
My two favorite booktubers!!! ❤
i can't with the foreign writers not doing even a tidbit of research on Slavic names they're gonna use in their own books like?? a Russian man going by a female Russian name?? pls i'm already rolling on the floor. and disavowing this man this instant.
"Uhh you just dont get it dash is like a really cool name and yk like dasha dash whatever you're just being a meanie weanie also i'm an ally!!" - preaumably the book's author
Please do so many more of these 😭😭
you guys have such a good vibe 🤣🤣too funny
RILEY IS SO FUNNY I LOVE HER
16:17 Dasha is a female name in Russian, it's short for Daria 😭😭😭
not in nyla's world. she makes the rules for russian names and prisons
I’m being so deadly serious, yall gotta do this again I laughed harder watching this than I have in a long time!
i was truly giggling this whole video😭
The fact that the secret prison is funded enough to disappear the most dangerous prisoners in the country but underfunded enough to frequently have power outages is so insane
For the longest time I thought I didn’t like MMF because the first one I read was American Queen. Turns out the book was just upsetting
You both are so pretty
Omfg the way these books are described... there's no way they're that entertaining to read but it's so fun to hear XD
Well this was an interesting way to start a Tuesday
I’be never laughed so hard 😂. Romance is truly gunna heal our nation 🎉
Sierra Simone knew what she was doing
@@sarawithoutanH what will she come out with for the 2024 election??
“They met at 💕war together 💕” 5:14
My two favourite booktubers 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
15:11 I CHOKED OML😭
This was hilarious! 😂
the prison one sounds like OZ fanfic
Oh my god hearing about Distorted was so wrong because my brother’s name is Dash and I was soooo done oh god
I do not want to read the Camelot series but I want to know what happens in every single one of them now but it's so hard to find spoilers online, but I also don't want anyone to read them either.
one of my patrons read them and she said that the president finds out about the baby his sister had and he lets her keep it but his sister is still in love with him. then he FAKES HIS DEATH and embry and greer don't know it was fake. embry and greer stay together and are sad and then in the third book he's like surprise bitches i'm actually not dead.
@@sarawithoutanH What a crazy series,
American Queen sure is something... I've read AO3 fics that had more plot.
Walking around my house and every 30 seconds I stop because I’m so shocked by these books 😭
Okay I cant even lie, I read Distorted and was SO entertained like I actually kind of loved it for how unhinged it was. But it still bothers me to this day that Dash escaped by following Kemper's ordere yet Kemper was never real. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE, NYLA.
Cori 😭😭😭😂😂
I read Brainwashed by her and absolutely loved it, kinda ashamed to admit that 😭
2 times in this video i had a cringe attack goosebumps to the max and i felt like throwing the plates away (i was washing dishes)
He is from Russia and his name is DASHA???? That's not a male name 😭
We know that Miss Nyla did no research for this book 😂
about the second book, some things should stay in the wattpad drafts
I saw Sierra Simone I screamed coz Priest distressed me ☠️
OMG, the way I loved Priest 😂😂
Saras book reminds me of lockdown by Alexander Gordon Smith but worse 😭😭😭
OMG, at least these books gave us this video
Sara and Riley collab to start my day off? Yes please 😍
We planned it just for you!!
im traumatised
Please collab with Weirdo Book Club-she’s so funny and does similar content to y’all. You’d love her!
It sounds like the plot is an "all-American romance" parody written by AI 😂
I swear Nyla K read Underground Hotel before writing that book...
16:20 "Our main character is this guy named Dasha."
But... Dasha is a girl's name, or at least it is in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. It's short for Dariya.
Was the author bad at research or was she trying it imply something?
some of these comments are ridiculous obviously they didn't mean actually ban books y'all 🙄
also if you do another omegaverse video please read pack darling!
I need you to read "Coven" by Harper Woods. I need to hear your thoughts. I found it entertaining...but there ended up being a lotttt going on and well...ultimately I gave it 2 stars, lol.
immediately the combination of presidents and arthurian retelling it’s like you know that author is a real weirdo (and i do mean that as somewhat of a compliment) like who thinks ough arthur and lancelot should be the president and vice president and they should be a throuple
I was doing stuff around the house and letting RUclips auto play and this came on and I’m like wait what?! 🤣😂 these books are awful 🤦🏻♀️ but I loved this 🤣. Also incase you didn’t know a guys g-spot is in his butt….to answer the confusion of why he came that one time. 🤣
This was so entertaining 😂😱
I am so sad I'm eating right now
my condolences
Hello ☺️ 👋🏻
Right to prison, no trial XD
Love how my country cannot catch a fucking break and keeps getting colonized even in smutty forbidden romance books ☠️
SCANDALOUS
😭 lol
Carpatia... As in the mountain range? Pretty sure It's more than Ukraine, like Czech Rep, Poland, Slovakia and Romania... But why is it a country? Did we have a civil war with The Highlanders?
