I read 1984 in college, and it changed the way I look at things. It's very insightful. The ending also had me in tears when I first read it. I love it so much, so it's a top read for me as well, and I'm actually due for a reread. And I agree with your thoughts concerning the Mark Twain collection. You have to overlook the language and consider the time period and setting that it was written in. I think some readers tend to miss that part because they're so used to the language and ideology of the present time, so maturity is definitely needed when reading stories like that. If anything, I like when stories reflect real life, past or present. That makes everything so much more believable, which is what great fiction is all about, making you believe that this could have happened in real life. Love these tier ranking videos! It's great to see all of your different tastes. Very eclectic! 💫

What a lovely, relaxing vlog. And OMG, what a view you have! 🤩

Your exasperation over the Wheel of Time was so entertaining as the viewer; your eyes were so wide open in frustration 😂 Jane Eyre is a personal favourite; a 11/10 if I could give it that, but I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on it. You have a magnificent view, and I enjoy your vlog format :) It looks so pretty and relaxing.

7:18 Omg the view! I am in love ♥️ also I cannot wait to start The Stormlight Archive, I’ve heard only good things and since I LOVED Mistborn, I have a feeling I’ll love that series too

Best and most to the point book review I’ve seen on this book Thank you

I am currently slogging my way through the 9th book of WoT. WoT is giving me major whiplash. The books are filled with infuriating main characters not doing too much with epic events sprinkled in. Lord of Choas has been the highlight for me, and since then, it has gotten so slow with the most frustrating characters as the main povs for the majority of the last 2 books. Then, when I want to throw the book out of the window into the river, something truly epic happens that catches my interest once again. I feel my thoughts on the series are a rollercoaster as well. I think if this series was edited to take out most of the boring parts that are not necessary to the story, then this series would be more unanimously loved by people who picked it up. The characters might be more likable as well. For me, I still think the series is worth it, but I also understand if you don't want to continue.

I found your channel thanks to BellTube. I loved this vlog!!! I haven’t read Wheel of Time, but I’ve heard many similar complaints. You live in a gorgeous location!

Always a joy to get a video from you! I've been feeling guilty for years that I DNFed The Wheel of Time, and I've kept thinking that I should give it another shot and really persevere this time. I think you just cured me of that. Thank you! 😄

I really like this video. 11 mins of just chill calmness. Perfect for my Sunday. Thank you!

Such an awesome vlog. And that view 👌🏻

What a great Sunday 😊 I think I'm certain now that I will not be picking up The Wheel of Time. I've heard so many things about the series, and it is off-putting. Plus, I have so many other series I would like to get into instead. Happy Readings! 💜 Wishing you a wonderful week as well!

Yeaaaah...weekend vlogs are my favorite, so happy they r back ❤

Happy Sunday! I fell in love with your balcony and the view - such beautiful and serene spot for reading ❤ And, I totally understand you about Jane, I enjoy drama and even for me, the ending was a little over the top 😃 still, there are parts I can read over and over again :) :) I'm sorry that TWoT is letting you down currently, hope other books improve your reading month :)

I feel so validated with your feelings on WoT 😅

❤📚🌊❤️ I would really love a whole day spent reading on your balcony! Kansas just doesn't have those views. 😅 I'm glad you finished Jane Eyre. The only Stephen King I have on my physical tbr right now is The Eyes of the Dragon. It's a 1987 publication and young adult. Have you read it. I keep putting other books ahead of it, even though ...dragons!!

I'm afraid Wheel of Time is not getting better from there. Lord of Chaos was actually a good book, but otherwise I struggled immensily with the topics that you felt frustraited about with the fourth book. I'm now on book 12 and I can see the effect of Sanderson on the characters and they are so much better now. But it has been a frustraiting journey for me to get this far.

Quick turnaround on this vlog. I need these to be longer so that I can hang out longer, parasocially speaking.

I just realised that Nobody's Boy is Sans Famille! I grew up with that story. Such a heartwrenching one but beautiful. Don't get me started on the dogs! There was a Japanese animated series when I was a young kid and it was so good. Good memories!

Really glad you broke down your thoughts on the rating for Into the Wild - it is on my list of books to read one day, but not really my kind of non-fic, so I'll be sure to be in the right mood before picking it up. 🙃

I LOVE Moonlight sonata, but it's a bit too loud in the video, I kept getting distracted 😅

The Tolkien bush and tree description line has me 😂 best humor on booktube!

📚📚💜

My Astrid Lindgrin is Pippi Longstockings, I've had this book since I was 9yrs old. And that's very long time ago. Great video than you for sharing ❤

❤ wonderful video.

Blood Meridian. Because Judge Holden has left a bad impact on my soul😅.

No matter where you go, there's always some one who has to prove their vehicle is very loud. Good for you buddy, you make it go so loud!

Sylvia, Buehlman, Gywnne & Abercrombie are my favorite authors! If you loved Blacktongue you should read the Daughter’s War, Between Two Fires & The Lesser Dead. Some other books I highly recommend, Boudica Dreaming the Eagle by Manda Scott & Daughter of the Empire by Feist & Wurts which should be read as a stand-alone. Also The Lions of Al- Rassan by GGK & The Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwall!!

This tier ranking provided so much more depth to the reviews - I loved the whole list and get to know your relation to the books 💘 Also, it's a little bit funny not to agree on certain final classifications and placements (I might have checked my own database a few times that all is still alright in that place 🤣) but that's the beauty of it all :)...........e.g. I still can't get over the Hunger games series ranking even though I see your point 😂😂😂 though I have to admit that, as a teenager, I loved only the first two books because of the politics in the third one, but nowadays, I love the third book the most also because of the politics ☺😀 Hope you had found some fun in making the video for us, too, and wish you so many more books for the S tier ;) :)

I have to disagree on 1984. I wasn't able to get into that one and DNFd it, so I personally think it belongs a tier lower in you have to be realistic. Of course, I didn't finish it, so maybe it is objectively good, and I am just missing out. Either way, I loved seeing your thoughts on your 5 star reads.

❤📚📚❤️ Absolutely loved your tears ranking! Will have to come back and take notes because I couldn't get the lineup in a screenshot. 😅😅

Perfect spots for Legends in Exile and Emma! 🌟 I don't know if someone has already suggested this (and I would be surprised if no one has), but have you thought about doing a video ranking all of the Harry Potter or A Song of Ice and Fire books? It would be nice to hear your thoughts, since you love those two series so much. But only if you wanted to, though. No pressure! I could never really get into The Hunger Games trilogy, surprisingly. I only enjoyed the first book, and I always thought it would be better as a standalone rather than as a series. Is that crazy of me? 🤔 I've also been meaning to read The Call of the Wild. It's been on my TBR for yearsss, even though it's such a short book, and I could finish it in no time, but I have yet to pick it up! The struggles of a reader, I swear...😅

Jack London books. I read those when I was in middle school (around age 14) and fell in love! When I was a kid, I would read all sorts of books about animals and adventures like that one. I need a re read soon

You might not think Hobbs sticks the landing until you read Ship of Magic!! Liveship is better than Farseer. The Shadow Rising is when WOT really takes off! Out of the 14 books, it is one of the best!

Hi Sylvia! Brian from Belltube sent me & looking forward to your appearance with him soon. I just subbed.

❤📚❤️ I read Harry Potter last year for the first time, and I'm so glad you moved it! 😊 I also wholeheartedly agree with you on And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer! So many I've read and had the same feelings. I didn't get to Beach Read this summer, as I don't read much romance, but I'm going to squeeze it into my August tbr now, before summer is over! Thanks for sharing your ranking!

Looking forward to part 2

Sorry for the late comment. I watched this video 2 weeks ago on my TV and meant to log into my computer to let you know I really enjoyed your Q&A video's. Thanks for answering my question, I loved your answer. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is one of my favorite books! Book 8 verse 57 is my favorite. I love how he compares the universal mind with the constant non-exhaustible radiation of the sun, and that it will settle on the obstacle it meets and illuminate what receives it, and that anything unreflective will deprive itself of that light. I read that and went like WOW. But I annotated the hell out of that whole book. I actually might reread it soon, so thanks for the inspiration!

I see some of my favorites too on this list. The Hunger Games trilogy is one of my favorite series of all time (with Catching Fire being my favorite out of the three), The Lunar Chronicles is great too, but I prefer Cress and Winter over Cinder and Scarlet (and that is true for both the books and the characters). Currently reading the Throne of Glass series and i'm really enjoying it.

Once again I've read quite a few of these! I got to see Neil deGrasse Tyson give a live 3 hour lecture when he was promoting Astrophysics for People in a Hurry! I paid 165 dollars to sit in the second row and was close enough to touch him almost the whole time (but didn't obviously lol). Interestingly Fool Moon is my least fav dresden files book (I've read the first 15 three times and 16 and 17 once), Changes would be my best. If you like boring history books about a fake place check out the Grace of Kings by Ken Liu (I gave it 1☆ but sounds like you'd enjoy it). I've read the first 19 Reacher books,, Persuader is my fav. Shadow of the Gods is my fav John Gwynne, can't wait for Fury of the Gods. Also read Blood Maridian

Hi! ❤ I hope you are doing great. I think Harry Potter is my most re-read stories. It is overall such a great story, not perfect, but great. So many great titles. I've added some new books to my ever growing TBR 😆. I cannot wait for part 2 of the video!

здрасти! The John Gwynne quote reminds me of a quote from a movie "The only thing you can guess about a broken down old man is that he is a survivor."

Love your quotes for your categories! I have to say, I recently, as in the last few years, reread the entire Harry Potter series. I'm over 40, and still thoroughly enjoyed and followed the first four. So I'm glad you wound up ranking it so high😊

It would be fun if you do a livestream.

Surprisingly, my boys loved Anne of Green Gables when I read it to them a couple of years ago (I think they were around 7 and 9). I thought that they wouldn't want to sit through it, but every time I read, they would ask for more. 🤷‍♀️

Talking about the best of the best books is such a treat! And I love your tiers, how you use the quotes 💘 my favorite quote (I think of this one the most because it is basically applicable to every day of my life 😅) is by young Dumbledore: "The fact that everything didn't go precisely to plan was precisely the plan" which could be actually considered as a description for my most beloved books too 😊 Fun facts: Anne of Green Gables 👒had been my favorite child book before I read Harry Potter series, plus my mom also considered HP 5* even after reading it for the first time in adulthood 😄 Thank you so much for sharing! I'm looking forward to the second part 😉

This is AMAZING! I just spent the last thirty minutes gushing about it (and you) to my husband. I'm definitely going to take advantage of your generosity in sharing the printable download with us. Thank you for your wonderful videos (I'm new to your channel and currently working through a bit of the backlog) and this creative idea! ❤❤

I don't no if I have a fav but I have a few I like a lot princess bride, to kill a mockingbird, handmaid tale there all book I was recommended not something I probably would have read but really enjoyed mockingbird and handmaid very much about the character not big chunky book so can be read quick and don't take a lot to get into the story, with mockingbird it about what the world was like and not changed to how we wish the world was but all in all all beautiful books

Oh, my goodness. I just discovered your channel today and have watched many of your videos while my kids were sleeping this morning. (They got to sleep in 😂) You are so creative! P.S. I was agnostic, and then after many years of trying to find a place to belong, I discovered the Orthodox Church. Four of my five children were born into it.

Looks like a great month of reading !

Great video! I love your TBR game, will you be making a digital version of this one too? I would definitely play.
