Can Alizee Guess The Book From The 1 Star Review? 09.07.2026

Today I'm joined by the wonderful Alizee to play a game where she tries to guess the book based on the 1 star reviews I provide. If you want to play along, leave your guesses down in the comments!

BookTok's Worst: Alchemised 28.06.2026

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....

Trigger Warning: What Happens When Your MAGA Grandad Tries To Write A Book 21.06.2026

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? 10.06.2026

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. Today I'm here to correct the misinformation while also highlighting the important parts of this very worrying situation.

Nothing But Wasted Potential 23.05.2026

Today we're reviewing Cassandra Khaw's book 'Nothing But Blackened Teeth' - a horror book with SO MUCH POTENTIAL that just left me screaming at annoying, petty characters, poor dialogue and complex language for the sake of appearing complex.

The Dark Side of TradWife Influencers | Yesteryear Review 10.05.2026

Tiktok's Favourite Writes The WORST Thriller Yet 23.04.2026

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.

TikTok's Favourite Thriller Author's Secret Blogs 21.04.2026

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 'p...

Colleen Hoover's UNHINGED Return 15.04.2026

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 her...
