Hi everyone, I’ve recently been in a reading slump and I need something to make me feel alive again. This is me shamelessly admitting that my taste in books is not always good. My favorite book series is Twilight (I’m 26, it was part of my teenage years and I’m emotionally attached) which is honestly not well written but for some reason they’re so good. If anyone has any recs that fall into that category, drop them below! I want your favorite worst books, ones you’re almost ashamed to admit you love.

The best book I’ve read this year people would probably 🤨 at the general description. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a trash book though. Limerence by HC Dolores is labeled as a New Adult book and it takes place in an Academy/Prep School setting. The male lead in it is a total sociopath and it’s a cat & mouse romance and suspense game between the female lead and himself. When I tell you it’s soooo good and I was hooked from beginning to end. Out of all the books coming out this year, the sequel to this one, is the one I’m looking forward to the most!
The Selection seems to fit the bill. It’s a different vibe than Twilight, but definitely trashy YA goodness. At first, you will probably roll your eyes, but in all its wackiness, it kind of ends up good in a way, like you have to find out what happens next. They are short reads, but there are five. I am low key hooked to the audio books, but I wouldn’t call them good. Definitely can’t call them literary greatness, but they are great trashy reads/palette cleansers/guilty pleasure reads.
Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon – it’s fun trash about some women crash landing on an icy planet populated by himbos who want to dote on them. The opening is a bit grim, before they actually crash, but it’s worth it.
I recently read the first few Fourth Wing books, and they’ve got a formulaic plot, lazy writing and bad erotica. Highly recommend!
The Plated Prisoner series, if you like fantasy. It’s a guilty pleasure I couldn’t put down. Like having a whole Costco bag of chocolate.
