Hey everybody, it's Anna, and welcome back to my booktube channel. This week is Top
Five Wednesday, da-da-da-da-dah! If you are new to Top 5
Wednesday, I will go ahead and link the Goodreads group downstairs in the
description box for topics and such. This month we are currently in the midst of a
Top 5 Wednesday Rewind-- [sings] I remember that book, I might just remember that book for
the rest of my days-- so many feels. Anyways, we are in the midst of a Top 5
Wednesday Rewind edition because our lovely moderator Sam is in the middle of
moving and graduating from graduate school and big life updates, so basically
what that means is that this month, we are going to be doing some topics from
previous months. And it's up to our discretion which ones we decide that we
want to do, so I decided to go with a topic from-- when was this?-- November 2016,
which is books that I want to reread, because this year I have set us a goal
for myself that I really want to reread a lot of old favorite books. So we will
go ahead and begin with what I have currently been rereading, and this is
kind of cheating because it isn't just one book, it's seven books, but that's the
Chronicles of Narnia series by CS Lewis. Now this might show up again in the
books that I've changed my mind about because I have really complex feelings
about this series. I read them as a child, I loved them as a child, but since
growing up and having like a really complicated relationship with like
religion and faith and all of that sort of thing, these books have kind of taken
up some weird real estate in my mind, where I still really really like them
for what they are, but I have a lot of problems with them that I didn't think
about when I was reading them as a kid. And this is my first time rereading the
whole series since I was a kid. I've reread individual books but never the
whole series, so eventually I'll probably make an entire video about that, but that
is not today. Okay, the next book is one that I've read pretty recently and
that is "Persuasion" by Jane Austen. I believe
I've read this book about twice before. The first time I thought it was okay; the
second time I was kind of blown away by how awesome it is!
This is Jane Austen's final novel. It's considered the most autumnal of her
novels, written kind of towards the end of her life, and is about this woman, Anne
Eliot, who is no longer really young. Granted, this is in the 19th century, so
being past your prime means you're like 28 or something like that, but yeah she's
kind of considered to not be a youthful woman anymore, and she had her chance at
true love, but she was persuaded out of it by a well-meaning but ultimately
misguided relative who thought that she would be better off trying to marry
somebody who would give her more like prestige and material goods instead of
love. And this is the story of what happens when she is reunited with that
old flame that she turned down all those years ago. This is a really great book.
I think it's a really underrated Jane Austen novel, and I'm excited to reread
it. Okay, next up is another classic, and this one it's been a little bit longer
since I've read, and that is "Little Women." I have this absolutely gorgeous Penguin
in Bloom edition of it, and this is a thick book! How many pages is this? This
is like a thousand-page book-- Oh 777, plus extra materials. It's been a while since
I read this book, but in case you're not familiar with it, it is the story of four
sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. All with very different and sometimes clashing
personalities, coming of age and growing up together during the Civil War period,
and this follows the story of their lives, especially Jo, who is kind of the
main character of the book, as she's kind of struggling with the strictures that
are placed on women of her day and she really tries to fulfill her ambitions of
becoming a famous writer. This is a charming book. It's another book that my
feelings toward it have kind of changed the older I've gotten. Some of the more
moralizing aspects of it seem really silly now reading it as an adult, but
then I just remember the fact that Louisa May Alcott actually just wrote it
that way because that was what her publisher thought
would sell the most and make her the most money, and she really liked writing
smut, so whenever I'm just like, oh this gets to treacly for me, I just try to
remember that Louisa May Alcott was doing this somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I'm
sure that like the sisterly relationships part was very sincere, but
come on: anybody who can write an Amy can't be this sappy and treacly all the
time! Okay, and then these next two books are books that I actually read last year,
but I enjoyed them so much that I wanted to read them again. The first one is
"Queens of Geek" by Jen Wilde. Jen Wilde's second book, which is called "The Brightsiders"
comes out on May 22nd I believe, so maybe I'll try and like read
this as a companion. Like, reread this as a companion when the new book comes out.
But this is the story of-- let's see-- yeah, let me just go ahead and read you the
blurb because it's been a little while since I read it and I don't want to give
misinformation. I'll give first impressions. [reads] "Charlie likes to stand out.
She's a vlogger and actress promoting her first movie at Super Con, and this is
her chance to show fans she's over her public breakup with co-star Reese Ryan.
Then when internet famous cool girl actress Alyssa Huntington arrives,
it seems Charlie's longtime crush on her isn't as one-sided as she thought. Taylor
likes to blend in. Her brain is wired differently, making her fear change, and
there's only one thing in her life she thinks will never change: her friendship
with her best guy friend Jamie, no matter how much she may secretly want it to. But
when she hears about a fan contest for her favorite fandoms, she starts to
rethink her rules on playing it safe." So this is a really awesome like LGBT
positive and focused romance. There's like really good bi representation
in here. I think it's a great novel about fandom, about like the
power of geekery and conventions and the fun that you can have with those.
I actually read this book before going to my first convention, and it just got me
like even more excited and hyped up to go to that. And then the final book, which
I swore that I really wanted to just reread it as soon as I finished it, but I
needed some time to recover, is "Six of Crows" by Leigh
Bardugo. I was especially reminded that I want to reread this book because Leigh
just recently got the cover reveal for her new book, "King of Scars," which I
believe is coming out in 2020. It's gonna be so long to wait! But luckily she's
written five, six? Six including the short story collection, aha! Six other books
that I can read while I'm waiting for "King of Scars" to come out. "Six of Crows,"
to put it in one sentence is a story about a group of unlikely misfits turned
friends, maybe some of them are little friendlier than others!, that get
recruited to perform the heist of the century, the year, the Millennium, that
nobody else can pull off except for them and what they find there. And I will just
leave it at that. If you like stories about suspense and friendship and you
like shipping and you just like having your heart smushed and gushed into a
million tiny pieces while you read, you should really read "Six of Crows." Yep.
that's all I'm gonna say about it before I start getting too emotional again, but
I really freakin freakin love this book! It's wonderful. So those are all of the
books that I am looking forward to rereading. I will hopefully get to all of
them this year. Leave a comment downstairs if you'd like to talk about
any of these books with me. Thank you all so much for watching, and I'll see you in
the next one. Bye!
