Do you like making fun of terrible books but don’t want to take the time to read them? You’re in the right place.
Bad Books, Good Times is a blog run by two former English majors who love to hate well-known bad books. We write chapter-by-chapter summaries full of mockery and criticism so you don’t have to actually read these books yourself. It’s like SparkNotes, but for smartasses.
We update on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Ariel and Matthew recap one book on Monday and Wednesday, then alternate on a different book on Fridays.
If you so desire, you can support us on Patreon or buy us a cup of coffee on Ko-Fi. We also have our summaries available as eBooks and have mugs and shirts and stuff. We’re currently working on a podcast, because it is 2018.
Ahhh! This is awesome! I felt guilty for enjoying the Divergent trilogy because they’re just…well…not well written. As a former English major myself I’m ashamed when I become enthralled by less than respectable books. But alas, I have the hots for Four and I had to finish the trilogy after unintentionally seeing the first movie. I will say though- I like Roth’s twist of the city being a giant social experiment. Keep up the good work! I’m going to start following you now. OooOOOOOOooo creepy.
Loving this blog, but live in fear now that one day you will come and get me! 😉
Ha! I hadn’t even seen this comment before responding to the one on your blog. Seriously, I really love to read writing blogs, book reviews, all that good stuff, but I stay quiet because I don’t want people thinking I’m plotting to use their work :0.
LOL! No don’t be silly, you don’t need to be a lurker 🙂 Be proud, your blog looks great 🙂 x
Also thank you! Really glad you’re enjoying it 🙂

Hey. I fell in love with the “Do you like making fun of terrible books but don’t want to take the time to read them?” right away
It totally speaks to me.
I was wondering if you could do a review of The Selection by Kiera Cass. In the same snarky tone you guys do for the rest. Please oh please.
And also, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer.
Both are terrible sets. I really want to see your reviews of them.
So….. any comment??
Please oh please make reviews of the 2 books I mentioned. I must be bothering the hell out of you, sorry.
But I would really love it if you agreed that later date to your convenience.
