now to make the ultimate bad book: a big tiddy liddy edgy horse girl who's married to a polygamist
That would be too powerful
They have to sing the big tiddy liddy song
Do not speak it into existence
@@zoeb3573 someone on wattpad will do it
Hello, are you a part of the Lully cult-
The fact that you read Serpent & Dove this year is proof that 2020 really lasted 84 years.
Ikr I can't believe it was this year
The Wives too! That _had_ to be like 2 years ago đ
@@powerpuff4ever yesssss, ikr!
i remember watching that video last year in march or sth. wow.
she talked about that, Nevernight, and The Wives. totally thought those were from last year . this year been too long
A common theme throughout most of these books: đ¶âš internalized misogyny and sexism âšđ¶
We hate to see it â„ïž
Yes we do
And *Abuse-Ship* gotta love it.đđ
How is nevernight internalized misongyny or sexist for that matter?
@@cheasgsyu2465 I was going to say âallâ but I realized not all of the books she mentioned were like this so I wrote âmostâ instead
"Oh no, he's beating a woman! Wait, that's just his wife? Carry on, then!"
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
đ€Łđ€Ł
We hate to see it
Noooo let's leave that mentality in 2020! I hated that book.
"the two genders: mustache and no mustache"
*looks at my upper lip*
...I need to make some calls
thank u Mom and Dad
The masks really help us now lmao
âSheâs gonna get burned like a hot Cheetoâ and thus began my journey to become a witch and be burned because thatâs the only way I can become a snacc
Ur already a snacc â„ïž
@@withcindy no you da snacc
Ohhpp
it's only the 2nd week of January... too early for the "best comment of the year" award
cindy realizing that the author of serpent and dove is a sarah j maas fan was more entertaining than the entire ACOTAR series
I
That's exaclty what I said about the reviewđ€Ł the pathos, the suspence, the plot-twist...
Itâs funnier that itâs on the cover
The whole library sticker drama was so juicy and then it just kept on hitting her in the face. Entertainment I would pay for haha đ€Łđ€Ł
"oh wait, he's just a wife beater. All right, carry on then."
god cindy that was funny and heartbreaking at the same timee
I think sheâs read so many books with that kind of stuff that the bar is so low, just dragging yourself across the floor would be enough to clear it.
Life be like that
2,000
âif there was a book that could gaslight me, it would be thisâ alright weâre already off to a good start it seems
Agreed
I got enough of this from my ex
I knew what book she was talking about immediately, it definitely deserves the #1 spot! đ
acotar
Feels like it was yesterday when I watched Cindy have a mental breakdown after realizing Serpent and Dove had a blurb by SJM. But that was literally March??? Wtf
I love that video of her, it just cracks me up
Is it bad I want her to read the sequel? đ
It's been 84 years
Wait that was in March? đš
@Blake Sanchez yes and I believe itâs called âBlood and Honeyâ. Found it on Amazon
Also if Cindy really wants us to unsubscribe, shouldnât her username be âdonâtreadwithcindyâ đ€đ€
Yeah but reading with Cindy would be enough to make the average person unsubscribe, we're just people who like torturing ourselves đ
I mean half the audience just watches without reading so đ
@@danofthehour4822 shit your right đ
Y'all r right
@cindycantread
Iâm a librarian and every time Cindy plugs Libby it FILLS MY HEART WITH JOY. Itâs good stuff. Gotta love the library love. The ultimate sponsorship.
Libby is AMAZING
i'm a librarian too and when i saw the libby sponsorship i gasped, thinking ... she's made it...
I love Libby! Itâs totally changed my life and I realized how much I love audiobooks :)
it makes me really want to use libby but there are no brazilian libraries in there đ
@@pbandjamie0 yesss same!!
tbh at this point some books can literally make us lose brain cells DJFHFSJDFK
All reading is valid ,â„ïž
Oh I know something about a book kill brain cells.
I r e a d A C O T A R a n d I r e g r e t i t
And people say we should read books to become smart. Those people have obviously never read Wattpad books đ€·
so many books are about enemies to lovers but we're ignoring the concept of rivals to lovers
âŹïž someone who gets it
Amen
I would like to see it
this is the superior version of the trope
@@withcindy this is why the lesbians need to be in charge
Wait, Big Tiddy Liddy happened this year? What is time anymore...
Ikr... Feels like centuries
A great big ball of Wibbly, Wobbly, timey, whimey... stuff? *2020 in a nutshell.*
Itâs to good to have happened in 2020
âHow can two people, who are raised to hate each other, fall in love.â Just admit Cindy you miss Nina and Matthias
Yes I do
I loved them. I think we all miss them
âIf there was a book that could gaslight me, it would be this book.â
My mind immediately went to the Wives.
I still feel bad that you read that book for our entertainment.
That was a fever dream
I'm disappointed that Kissing the Corona Virus didn't make it to the list
I'm surprised she didn't read 'Penetrated by the President's Twitter Feed' by the same author this year. Maybe next year.
Kissing the coronavirus was a good book so why would it be on here
That was a masterpiece
@@withcindy lol
@@shalmali-379 I'm sorry she didn't read WHAT
the worst thing i read this year was a fanfic for snape x teletubbies.
Snape and what
Link? đ
@@withcindy I might've just been having some sort of fever dream, but I'm pretty sure there's a readthrough of it here on CZcams somewhere. Not that I recommend it, that fic gets disgusting real fast.
Dude the internet I swear-
What??? Lmao!!!
"Yeah women get beaten up every day but you know what's worse than that? When a man is accused of being that" Girl, you speak my mind. And the fact that many men ACTUALLY think that unironically is making me want to die.
When the books you've read were just as bad as 2020
A messy year for messy books
Nevernight sounds like the assassin version of My Immortal. Also, "horse girl soap opera" would make a GREAT band name.
Horse Girl Soap Opera can play the song "my immortal" by Evanescence for the nevernight soundtrack
@@withcindy The ultimate collab
And... Repo the Genetic Opera is playing in my head with the Phantom.
The internalized misogyny in these books is ASTRONOMICAL
we hate to see it
Thanks for commenting on my post and giving attention to my woke feminist agenda!!â€â€
@@tbone6924 lol sure
@@tbone6924 sis
@@tbone6924 Found the asshole.
Finally someone acknowledges how awful Serpent & Dove is. I don't understand why everyone on Booktube raves about it, it's truly the worst book I've ever read in my life.
It's just your opinion. It doesn't influence the habits of others.
@@avanishdutta2658 just like your opinion doesnât either
@@avanishdutta2658 that's why u shouldn't reply.
Cindy really do be getting more purple and purple each month as though she were applying for a starring role in the Teletubbies
I'm a tinky winky
New teletubby: tiddy liddy
Nevernight was so damn edgy that it sliced my jawline from đ to đœ
now THATS edgy
@@withcindy lol đ€Ł
đđđ
despite your warnings I did read s&d and you were so right đ« that book is everywhere on bookstagram and I read it and was like ??? you gonna tell me that everyones hyping up this book where the only black girl is named coco and the supposed enemies to lovers had barely any chemistry đ h-help
LMAOOO u only have urself to blame
@Sugar Vai coco is a nickname though her actual name is Cosette and in the sequal you get to meet her coven. Also coco isn't the only black character?
I think she meant to be saying "chasseur" which is french for hunter but she ended up saying "chaussure" which means running shoe.
wait imagine a hunting equipment brand that sells shoes in a section called "chaussures for chasseurs" SAJKKASJKJAS đđ
@@husband-of-chinggis i think u meant âchaussures for chasseursâ bc what ur saying is hunters for shoes rather than shoes for hunters

Not the subtitles of this video changing "caricatures" to "character chairs" sdlgjgfd ICONIC
Oop
Oh shit I actually thought she said character chairđ
Cindy may be hating on the book, but she not hating on the author đ Toxic positivity or positive toxicity? đ€
Positive toxicity â„ïž
Lmaođ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Imagine walking down the street and someones just beating their partner. You say something and then they turn around and say "no its cool dude, we're married" like wtf
ya.....
Why am I so weirdly proud that you got freakin Libby to sponsor you
I love Libby!!
I donât know why I clicked the notif so fast when I saw âBig Tiddy Liddyâ
cindy knows what people like in a title
It's part of my brand nowv
It's definitely an important part of Cindy's channel
"This video is sponsored by Big Tiddy Libby"
Yes â„ïž
"Libraries are closed this year" me, a librarian gently weeping because we're not closed and most of my job is getting screamed at for telling people to pull their masks up.
Ouch. God bless you and keep you safe, buddy.
Cindy said "those are the two genders, mustache and no mustache" and I immediately thought of our feminist idol, Rhysand and how proud he would be of Cindy rn
đđđ it's YOUR CHOICE if you want to keep a mustache or wax it offđđđ
@@arushi8098 the MUSTACHE decides your gender
Eternally disappointed that The Wives didn't have all 3 women teaming up against Mr. Ain't-Shit and destroying him. I read it with my book club in early March (literally 3 days before lock down lol) and was so struck by how stupid it turned out to be.
WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL
the red roses as sexual innuendos on the table flashbacks AHHHH HELPPPP
Ya.....
Even to this day, the Pussoir haunts us
Wait is this a reference to Wives đ©đ©
I know people who loved The Wives because of those twists and I was like, âyou donât have to think a book is good because it whips your head around.â
My neck hurts from all the whiplash
nevernightâs cover just _screams_ edge lord
Truuuu
About a minute into the video and I just know Nevernight and The Wives are here
Of course, who could forget
I knew Serpents & Doves and The wives would be here.
Cuz Big Tiddy Libby deserves rights
"if there was a book that could gaslight me"
damn, did my ex write that?

I completely forgot that Serpent and Dove had a blurb by SJM, it was less painful to read the actual book than to read thatđ
Remember when my library sticker covered that
@@withcindy Yes
The fact that "Horse Girl Drama" is in the title đ. I love Cindy.
I'm not wrong tho
âI cannot be alone with my thoughts so I always have to have an audiobook turned up.â That hit me where I live.
Just depression things
Me but with podcasts đ
Why does it feel like your serpent and dove review (BIG TIDDY LIDDY lslsls) was 13 years ago god this year has been so long
I was surprised it was this year too omg
watching you roasting books stabilizes my blood pressure
Excellent
I paid $11.00 for the âBig Tiddy Liddyâ song, the black friend named Coco, the baker named Pan, the constant âbig revealsâ of family relationships (Reidâs mom, brother and Louâs father), and the powerful ring that does nothing?!? Serpent and Dove had me rolling my eyes throughout most of the book.
I am downloading the Libby app now.
This is the perfect way to eat my waffle covered in frosting. Sugar shock AND book tea? Yes please.
Omg waffles!! Yummm
Cindy: âI cannot be alone with my thoughtsâ
Me: laughs nervously about how I came to this video to avoid being alone with my thoughts
Thank you for posting. I was about to have an anxiety attack and really needed a laugh.
Ur safe!! â„ïž
me, noticing polygamy in the title and remembering that this is cindy: đșuh ohđș........ oh đž no
Oh no no no no no đžđžđžđžđž
i KNEW The Wives was gonna be on here when i saw polygamy in the title
Of course, who can forget a masterpiece
Ah yes, masterpiece
I've been in a reading slump since the pandemic started and this is the first book tube video I've watched since then đ
Now u can see all the worst books u missed
hahaha same here
Serpent and Dove has everything you need to know about it in the cover: a Sarah J. Mass review
I should've expected it
Cindy mentioning Madeleine McCann and calling her madeline is my spirit animal
Oop
Nevernight is the âbookâ we all thought would be groundbreaking as a 6th grader and ended up being our target for cynical humor as an adult
I HAD TO STOP EVERYTHING to watch this video. EVERYTHING.
I stopped my heart for u
âFrom the moment you read it, you feel like youâre in a My Chemical Romance music videoâ
Not my bookshelf with Nevernight next to two Pop figurines of Gerard Way đ
I KNEW IT
CINDYYYYYY IS HERE, A TRUE CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Merry Christmas â„ïž
I love Libby! It frustrates me to no end that audible is popular when Libby exists for free
exactly!!
watching Cindy's videos is self caređ
It's my self sabotage
sometimes if i close my eyes i can still hear cindy singing big tiddy liddy... it's been 9 months please help
U will never unhear it
No way it's been 9 months đđđ
Same, with her voice and everything today I heard it in my head while I was cleaning I clearly need help
The best part of my day is when Cindy upload a new video
The best part of my day is reading ur comments
Librarian here love love love that you spend some time on your videos to promote the public library.
They're the backbone of this country
The story of Madeleine McCann is so well know to me that it rly felt like Iâd stepped into a strange alternate universe for a second when Cindy talked about it so vaguely like a small case. like I donât even known if that was a joke or not because it threw me off so much. Madeleine McCann is even in cards against humanity đ
i hadnt heard of it before!
Goddammit I just got big tiddy liddy out of my head and now its back again
U will never escape
"It was so edgy that nearly even cut me"
ICONIC
you know what, I was about to read Serpent and Dove but there's a lot of signs that stopped me:
-It was very THICK
-Unreasonably expensive
-SJM blurb
-Cindy's mental breakdown
This is literally the first youtube sponsorship i've ever seen and been like "wow, I need that". I've been struggling w/ not wanting to have physical books, but I just downloaded that app and am super excited to read more!
Glad I could help! :D
maybe in the new year youâll read the cruel prince and save us all
YES I need her to read it!
Hmmmmm
@@withcindy please read it!!! I had a low bar for it but i ended up really liking it
i ended up hating it :(
i watched all of Cindy's recap videos throughout the day so i really REALLY know these books already but still watching so our queen can get her coin âšâš
Thank u đ
Cindy keeping us fed first thing in the morning is the best thing to happen in 2020.
And I'll continue to do so in 2021!
When you were talking about the plot for The Couple Next Door, I was kind of immediately uncomfortable because of how similar it sounded to the Madeleine McCann case. Then you mentioned it too and I thought "oh good it's not just me"
9:29 Yes. Madeleine, disappeared in Portugal 20 years ago.Many people think that when the parents left her alone, she hit her head, dying, and the parents ashamed, just said she disappeared.
omg thats so sad
Libby sponsored this vid, and you talked about Serpent & Dove... Does that mean they are your Big Tiddy Libby?
Yes
Fav line "It's like the author binge-watched Monty Python, took adderal, then wrote the whole novel as a stream of conciousness in one sitting"
Ok but purple hair is wowđ„°đč
Thank u I'm an oompa loompa
CINDY UR MY FAVORITE CZcamsR BUT I STG IF YOU DONT STRAIGHTEN THAT PAINTING-
Never
âThe Wivesâ reminded me of my friend who had boyfriends for each day of the week. She ended up being exclusive with mr. Wednesday, but he ended up being so abusive that cops were involved. Heâs now a CEO of a famous company in Asia...I couldnât make this shit up
Just shout COMMUNICATE
and half of ya books will leave the chat
Communication is a skill barely anyone has learned
@@withcindy I hv learnt it and now me nd my partner r breaking up and patching up every day đ
yall Libby is literally amazing trust me its so so convenient you can even download the books and all !!
I love Libby!!
just came in to say that i started watching you because youtube's algorithm kept putting your the wives video on my recommendations and now, after years of not reading anything besides my college books and fanfics, i came back to read actual books again đ
also your serpent & dove video is one of my comfort videos, every time i'm sad i go back to you trashing big tiddy liddy and i feel better
Glad it could bring comfort to u!! â„ïž
my worst book was Throne of Glass and I didn't even finish lol. i wanted to read it so i could understand the memes (I read acotar so I wasn't expecting much from sjm) but it was so. annoying (?) to get through. both MC was just the epitome of "I'm not like other girls" and celaena was so infuriating ://///
I forced my way through the first three Novellas of a collection and that took me over six hours.
I actually got through the first ACOTAR in less than six hours and I had to put that book down five or eight times because it was breaking my mind with prose. And my mind played fiddle memes at the three times a fiddle was mentioned
The only character I liked in those books was Manon but even she was lacking in actual characterisation. Also, Celaena/Aelin seemed like a bad Daenerys Targaryen clone.
Same though. I can not stand her because of her NLtOG attitude and the constant "she could have killed them, but she didn't..."
@@CalKale this!!!! She's always like "oh I'm a better assassin than them, I could kill them all in a heartbeat" and then doesn't do great on the trials (at least the first couple of training?idk I didn't finish). She keeps on saying she's this skilled assassin but we don't see her do anything tbh
@@sallypark9139 it's basically just a deep back story for the most part. I'm at half way and there STILL isn't anything. I don't get why the king didn't kill her, tbh. If she's such a threat and feared, she should have been executed. Suffering? Oh, yeah, now she's in your castle plotting your death (I'm assuming).
"It's so edgy it nearly cut me"
I quoted something from 12:13 so it looked like I'm 6mins early instead of 6mins late đđ
I see what u did there
All I want for Christmas is for you to review The Cruel Prince
Hmmmm
Yess!!!
please please
Your pfp gives me life
@@rx500android thank you! Its my favorite ship
Every time I see SJM my brain goes: *"Sexually Justified Masochist"* because Cards Against Humanity in Quarantine has ruined my brain.
as a librarian who tells people about libby every day, it's always funny ro see people outside my workplace mention it đ thank you, cindy for supporting local libraries!!
Youâre right about assassins needing to be able to move easily, being flat chested would actually be advantageous because ninja-like assassin characters should ideally be able to move their body weight fluidly like it were nothing.
Literally, i watched this one movie called red shoes and the seven dwarves with my little sister and woah it was amazing like the main girl was really comfortable and happy with being chubby and I was like YES this is how you handle a character, it was so natural and I loved it
Reading my library's e-books and listening to audiobooks on my phone through Libby has probably been the thing that saved my sanity in 2020. Also watching the movies on Kanopy (also through my library) has been pretty great.
i did not know all of libraries could be in the same libby app! you changed my life with your paid sponsorship
Yay!!
I have to admit that the placing of the painting is an excellent metaphor for this year. It's subtlety makes it even better because it highlights the contrast between the events of 2020 which were big and scary and our (social) lives that were 'quiet' and nothing really happened. You're a genius, wow.
and because it is crooked
Cindy is the best thing that happened to me in 2020 đ„°
đ„șđ„șđ„ș
As someone who cut their bangs themselves at 15, I can assure everyone that it does not make you edgy, it just makes you super self conscious and embarrassed.
Speaking as a middle child, the middle sister providing the older sister with the obvious solution, realizing that sheâs gonna keep up the drama for petty reasons, then just noping out of that entire situation was peak representation. Sometimes people are just deadset on pointless drama and you just have to know when to cut your losses before they try and drag you into their bs.
small thing but thank you for specifically labelling the content warnings for discussing each book on the videos timeline!! thats really considerate and something i wish more youtubers did
I lowkey want Cindy to read and review the second part of Serpent & dove only to find out if it will land on the "Worst of 2021" podiumđ From what I've heard the second part is worse, so... P.S. I would love a Cindy rantđ
I'm super glad to see that you're promoting Libby. I use it all the time myself and I think it's super great! Especially avoiding the late fees & supporting the local library
i use it every day!!
I miss going on rollercoasters so badly, but listening to what happens in The Wives always brings back the feeling.
