BookTok's Worst: Alchemised
Alchemised by SenLinYu is a Romance Fantasy novel which recently won the 2026 British Book Award for Best Sci Fi / Fantasy Book, beating legends like R.F. Kuang and Joe Abercrombie. Today I ask "HOW?!?!?!!?" as I dive deep into this absolute misogynistic mess and pick apart Part One of this 1,000+ page novel which unsurprisingly started off as, equally harmful, Harry Potter Fan Fiction. Keep an eye out here for my reviews of the next 2 parts or follow to be the first to watch them! Huge thank you to my editor who did an amazing job on this video!

Trigger Warning: What Happens When Your MAGA Grandad Tries To Write A Book
Today I'm reviewing the cringe-inducing mess that is 'Trigger Warning' by William W. Johnstone and it's BAD. This is the most laughably terrible book I've read in a long time but it's also the most fun I've had reviewing a bad book in years. Come along for the (very bumpy) ride!

Not All Men But 62 Million Of Them?
A little while ago the internet was full of reports of 62 million men being part of a 'r*pe academy', however this isn't exactly true.

Tiktok's Favourite Writes The WORST Thriller Yet
Hi all, today we're back to review another book by Tiktok's favourite thriller author, Frieda McFadden. Her new book 'Dear Debbie' is easily the worst one yet as it tells the tale of self-insert, middle aged Mum Debbie who decides to do awful things to awful people. Get ready for a thriller with no thrills, the stupidest genius yet, and crimes for the sake of crimes.

TikTok's Favourite Thriller Author's Secret Blogs
Hi all, today I'm looking at the 'secret' blog posts of Freida McFadden, written over 2 blogs and 12 years before she got famous. In these she talks about being a doctor (and hating it), being a mother (and seeming to hate spending time with her kids?), a disdain for childfree people, her writing influences and goals, and a strange misogynistic view of women who she believes are 'prettier' than her. For more context, you can read more posts here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zNz5vv3RvdFRP1PWs2bBj76wjMNV5Ud5kUttD1DmHMo/edit?usp=sharingThis episode was originally published on Youtube 17th March 2026: https://youtu.be/7qmq4osqqAA

Colleen Hoover's UNHINGED Return
Hi all, today we're looking at the new novel by Colleen Hoover 'Woman Down' - a self-insert piece of fiction which totally isn't actually about her... it's just about an author who had trouble with a film adaptation of her book because of an awful director and online criticism. She returns after years (both in the fictional world and in the real world) to write a book about herself and her experiences because she is TOTALLY the BESTEST author ever and in the process ends up in a cheating love triangle (in the fictional worlds) and it gets MESSY. Is is the worst thing CoHo has ever written? No! But does that mean it's good? Also no! Originally posted on Youtube 14th Feb 2026: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68BH3ke2taE&feature=youtu.be

I'll say it again but you're all insane if you think the appropriate punishment for kicking an inanimate object is to be shot and murdered without any kind of trial. Dennis, Paul, Morgan and people like them keep saying that these murders were justified because the victims 'committed crimes' - even if this was true, the justice system is in place so that people who have committed crimes (should) get a fair trial and fair punishment. A small crime like kicking an object or parking your car in the middle of a street should NEVER be punished with murder without trial. There is literally no humane way to justify that and if you are, then you're a monster.

The Saga of Paul and Morgan
A quick note on the title of this episode:I feel very conflicted about using the title ‘The Saga of Paul and Morgan’ for this video because I didn't want to use that word anymore - Saga. I’ve been worried in the past that it makes it sound too much like this is all a fictional story and stops people seeing the subjects as real people. But I also feel like Paul and Morgan have been posting for such a long period of time, there have been so many twists and turns and ‘eras’ in their content, and that their online content has become such an ingrained part of who they are that it really feels like the most appropriate word here which is why I’m comfortable using it this time but with the disclaimer that I don’t want you to forget that these are real people and please be considerate of their feelings.
