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! 💫
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
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. 🙃
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 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!
Oh, yes! Me too! It's the second book I ever got as a gift (the first being Alice in Wonderland). I reread it so many times and have now read it in 3 languages (Bulgarian, English and French)! I have cried so much reading this and to this day, every time I head about onion soup I remember this book. Oh, the dogs! ❤️ WHAT? There is?? I must find and watch this!! (I will even attempt seriously to stay awake! ✨
@@libraryunbounded It's on UA-cam if you type Remi sans famille you should find it, it's so cute. I think I owned the book when I was a child but I don't remember reading it. I will probably remedy that with my oldest kid.
Thank you so much, Anna! ❤️ I can totally understand your love for Pippi - probably reread it 20 times as a child. But Ronja is my favorite of Astrid's girls! If you haven't read it, I highly recommend (even if you are a bit older than 9 yo 😊)
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!!
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.
Ah, I know. Tough to account for taste 😅 I do think the books is really good though, maybe not for everyone, hard to write a book like that. I just can't say one bad thing about it (besides that it's so damn depressing 😂) But I can see why you didn't like it and it's totally valid. As I said, hard to be objective 😊

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!
Hahaha that's how they know they're really big and powerful 💪
I think this every time I hear one go by 😂 (my new neighbour being one of them)
@@BooksToAshes Oh no, not a neighbor. But just know they need the validation.
@@Jonathan-B_ Of course. The loud exhaust is very, very cool after all

I definitely think I'll try Dark Matter. I'm not really into Sci-fi, but I've been wanting to try some. I love thrillers, so that might be a good fit.
Oh, I think you should go for it. It will fit you well, I am 99% sure!
The Tolkien bush and tree description line has me 😂 best humor on booktube!
Hahah thank you! This is one of the best compliments anyone has ever paid me! 💖

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 ❤
Thank you so much, Anna! ❤️

I am definitely reading all of those! First chance I get!
Thank you for the awesome recommendations, Heidi! ❤️
❤📚📚❤️ Absolutely loved your tears ranking! Will have to come back and take notes because I couldn't get the lineup in a screenshot. 😅😅
Hahaha thanks, Starla! ❤️ I was thinking of adding it at the end, but frankly, I was half-asleep by the time I was finishing the edit, so... 😂
@libraryunbounded tears?! Omg, I wrote tier. Auto correct? Or, we were both tired. 😂😅😂
❤ wonderful video.
Thank you so much, Justyna! ❤️

I LOVE Moonlight sonata, but it's a bit too loud in the video, I kept getting distracted 😅
Hahah oops, my apologies, I guess I love it a bit too much 😂
I shall be more careful next time 😉
