*loud hacking coughs* Yeah Chris definitely got me sick. Fuck.
Bee doop adoop adoooooooo Badoop booop
I hope you guys are okay with me doing a video like this, lying down. Cause I'm not doing
so well right now.Haha. Um but I was so excited because... this happened.
[Adorable British accent] The second person I want to tag is Jaylee James. I love watching
her videos. Her videos are like... crack. Cause they're just so funny. And I want to
know more about what she has read. Squeeeeeee
I'm super brand new to Youtube and I was overjoyed. *Giggle*
Okay, so my webcam crashed. I guess I lost the first 20 minutes of this video.
So... someone tagged me in a tag for the first time ever and it was really exciting. And
I was much, much happier in my expression about this the first time before my computer
*snarling* So it's this Oscar book tag, and all the links
to everything are down there. I agonized over my answers to all of these
questions for like an hour. It was... ugh. They're so hard.
The first question is best picture - favorite book series.
That's a hard question. I struggled with it. I eventually chose the Pink Carnation series.
I then went on how it's based off the Scarlet Pimpernel, and I basically told you the whole
plot of Scarlet Pimpernel. Be glad you missed that.
It's a great book series. historical fiction. romance. There's spies. It's funny. Let's
actually answer these now and hope my stuff doesn't break.
Question number two is best foreign film, which means "favorite diverse book."
This is a weird question to me because 85% of the books I read are "diverse." I read
a lot of books with queer characters and mentally ill characters because I am both.
The most recent diverse book I read is "I Hear the Sunspot." It is a manga about a boy
with a hearing disability. It's kind of a low-key gay romance, and it's the cutest thing
ever and I didn't know it was going to be that fucking cute whenever I picked it up.
AHHHH!!! It's so great. It's adorable and feelsy and
it really handles microaggressions really well. *muffled fanboy squee* Ahhh!
Feelings. Phew. Okay that was question number two! And
we are already at 15 minutes in. Great. Seriouosly, you have no idea how much stuff
I cut from these videos.
Question #3 - Best documentary. Best nonfiction book.
"Your God is Too Small "by J. B. Phillips That's probably not interesting to any of
you unless your spirituality is kind of Christian based. But uh.. it's fantastic. It was written
in like, I don't even know, the 1920's or something? And it's still relevant today because
people don't change. Alright, number 4... Best actress - favorite
female protagonist. I came up with two.
Amelia Peabody, from the series that shares her name.
They are a mystery series set in Egypt and they are by Elizabeth Peters. There's like
30 books and I wanna say they were published between the 60's and 90's. The first book
starts out a little rough, but once the author really gets into her characters, for the rest
of the series, it is FANTASTIC. They are hilarious and silly and fun and exciting
and... The other one I picked was Kami Glass from
the Unspoken, uh, the "Lynburn Legacy" series by Sarah Rees Brennan.
Kami... ahhh. Kami and I share a fashion sense which is
bright colors with absolutely no moderation. Awkward and little and strange, she is always
herself at all times with no shame or fear. If you are interested in romance tha thas
like the angry brooding boy who is misunderstood and has feelings and wears a leather jacket.
But you hate the fact that a lot of those YA books that have guys like that tend to
pair them with a girl who has the personality of a piece of toast.
You will like Untold. You will like the Lynburg Legacy series.
Kami has 1000% personality at all times. Along comes her brooding boy and he is all kinds
of mysterious dark and sexy and she does not sacrifice her personality for him. At all.
I love Sarah Rees Brennan's books. She likes to write relationships with characters
that are codependent and unhealthy. And it is interesting because she walks a really
thin line between like.. showing how romantic this is, and how passionate they are for each
other while also showing you why this is unhealthy. If that makes sense.
Um... Lynburn Legacy and Demon's Lexicon deal with that really intense codependent relationship
but then show how the characters break that apart and become their own people while still
having a good relationship. It's Fantastic. Read all of her books. They're
also funny as hell. Speaking of Demon's Lexicon...
Best actor - Favorite male protagonist. Alan Ryves from the Demon's Lexicon series.
I haven't read the final book because I'm scared of what she's going to do. Alyn Ryves
is, uhhh... he's a liar. He is manipulative. He's chaotic good personified. He's so committed
to the people in his life that he wants to keep safe, he will do whatever it takes to
keep them safe. Even if that means going behind their backs, betraying them, lying to them,
you know... destroying everything. I love him so much. I get him so much. Haha.
Oh my gosh. *Fanboy wails* There's like this romantic subplot where he
has strong feelings for someboody and those feelings are not necessarily returned.
That person who does not return his feelings has incredibly poor taste.
He should come be with me. I will take care of him as he deserves. Haha.
Number six. Best supporting actress - This is best female supporting character.
I had two. Iko from the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.
She is the, um... adorable silly robot companion? And I love her with all of my heart. I think
that the graphic novel "Wires and Nerve" is about Iko, and I need to read the last book
in the series so that I can read the graphic novel. Because I love Iko so much. Iko...
Iko I love you. And... Zu from "Darkest Minds" by Alexandra
Bracken. She is the, uh... I think she's like 6 years
old? Girl who is selectively mute, and has electricity powers. She's adorable and also
just like secretly badass. Haha. But Alexandra Bracken wrote like a little
side enovel called "In Time." It is about Zu and the people that she's with whenever
they leave the group and they go out on their own. And it's THE BEST THING. It's so wonderful.
I love Zu. I love her so much. She's going to grow up and take over the world. If she
didn't die in the third book. I don't know, I didn't finish the third book. I'm so terrible.
I never finish series. Number 7 - Best supporting actor - Favorite
male supporting character. And that would be Adrian from the Golden Lily
chronicles... [Whispery quiet voice]Is it even called the Golden Lily series... BLOODLINES!
That's what the Golden Lily series is called. The first book is called the Golden Lily.
I think. I don't know. He was in the Vampire Academy series but um
he wasn't in his element until the Bloodlines series. In the Vampire Academy books he's
kind of a mess. He's going through some shit and making bad decisions. The Bloodlines series,
he grows a lot more as a character. I really wish that that series hadn't gotten real'
weird at the end because I didn't finish the last two books. Uh because they got freakily
heteronormative and fetishizing of marriage. Which was really weird.
JAYLEE TRASH HUMAN
NEVER FINISHES
ANYTHING!!!! Number 8 - Best screenplay - Favorite standalone
book Oh MAAAAAN... did I even choose one?
Okay, I have two. Lucid by Adrienne Stoltz and Ron Bass. These
two authors appeared out of nowhere, wrote this YA book, and then never wrote anything
ever again. Lucid is phenomenal. Phew. Okay, so Lucid
is about two teenage girls and one lives in like a rural town in the middle of nowhere,
and the other girl lives in New York City. Her mom is something famous, I think, and
she is an actress. I don't remember if she's like an aspiring actress or actual successful
actress but she lives a life where she doesn't have to go to high school. I think she graduated
at a young age to pursue her acting career. Country girl, city girl. Let's just call them
that cause I don't remember their names. Country girl goes to sleep at night and she dreams
the entire day that city girl had. And then she wakes up and she goes and lives her life.
Every single night she dreams what the other girl did that day. City girl goes to sleep
every night and dreams the country girl's entire day. So they both are dreaming the
entire life of the other one. That is not the focal point of the book. That is the premise.
But that is not what the book is about. Whenever you read it, it feels like you are reading
two contemporary YA novels about these girls. You're just... it just alternates chapters
between these two girls who have nothing to do with each other. Their lives are totally
separate. They don't interact. And occassionally it talks about the fact that they have dreamed
each other's lives. *Occassionally* [I can't spell]. But the bulk of the story is just
about these two girls' lives. Their contemporary YA lives. So I think a lot of people go into
this book wanting some huge paranormal craziness and then what they get is contemporary YA.
I think a lot of people are like... huh? It is a unique book and it is a phenomenal book.it
is outstanding. If you are interested... SO GOOD. AHHHH!! The other one I chose is Revolution
by Jennifer Donnelly. That... book.... It like dug a hole in my heart and took up residence
there. Um, I want to get a line from it tattooed on my wrist. I loved that book so much. It's
a very weird book as well. Haha. It is about a teenage girl experience extreme depression
due to grief over her little brother dying. And her mother has a mental disorder that
is so significantly bad that she needs to be hospitalized. The teenage girl has been
trying to take care of her mother so that she does not need to be hospitalized. Things
go too far and she does have to be hospitalized. So the teenage girl is then shipped off to
France to live with some family member... I don't remember. She discovers these journals
from a girl her age who lived during the French Revolution. I am NOT obsessed with the French
Revolution at all but for some reason a lot of books from that time period make it onto
my favs. Haha. Depression makes it so that you don't care about anything, and you have
no interest in anything. Whenever you're depressed and you happen to find something that does
catch your attention, you can become obsessed with it. It becomes like your favorite thing,
becuase this is the only thing that makes your life better. We're not done, okay. This
book is trippy and weird. So... this teenage girl meets people in Paris and like they become
friends. They take her to this like underground rave in the catacombs. And I think she does
drugs. Like she doesn't realize she's doing drugs, but like somebody gives her something.
But she ends up wandering off into the catacombs. When she finally comes out of the catacombs,
she has been transported to France during the French Revolution. Hahaha. It's a very
weird book, but #relatable if you have depression. The quote that I want tatooed on my arm is
"This world goes on cruel and brutal but I do not." That was something that the girl
who had the journals wrote. That was like her response to the French Revolution happening
all around her. This world is a piece of shit and it's horrible to people and awful but
I am not horrible and awful and I do not have to be. I can make the world better. We are
40 minutes in, damn... I need to stop talking... Whoo... okay, number nine. Best director.
Favorite author. This is a mean question, you guys. Who is writing these tags. It's
awful. That would be R. Cooper, I decided, because I removed her from five other categories.
She writes gay romance and her "Beings"series, it's called"Beings in love." It's about like
fairies and werewolves and dragons and... there's trolls and stuff. Oh it's so good...
her entire series. And then her books that have nothing to do with that are equally fantastic.
*thud* Number 10... Best cinematography, best worldbuilding. Um... I wanted to put R. Cooper's
Being series in here too, but um... if I can't... Soulless by Gail Carriger. It's super well-thought-out
and great. There's vampires and werewolves and ghosts and preternaturals. Also Afar by
Leila Del Duca is a graphic noovel that had the most creative and amazing world in it.
And it was just one book. She needs to write like a thousand books. I wanna read like an
entire series set in this world and she only wrote one book. Excuse me? No! Number 11...
Best costuming, which is best cast of characters. I have three on here and they're all books
I've already talked about. Untold by Sarah Rees Brennan, Lunar Chronicles by Marissa
Meyer, and Soulless by Gail Carriger. So that one was easy. Oh finally! Twelve! Tag people!
R. Jenson - you really like tags. Hahaha. Um, also, Leah and 26 Letters. I don't think
you have done very many tags but if you feel like doing a tag, this might be fun. I watch
a lot of Booktubers but not very many subscribe to me so... I don't think anyone else, if
Itagged them, they would even see this.... Uh, if you are watching and you're like "This
sounds like a fun tag!" then consider yourself tagged. Show me your video and I will go watch
it and I will comment obnoxiously on it. Cause I like writing people really long obnoxious
comments. Uh, thank you for putting up with the bad lighting and the couch and everything
else. And how talkative I get about books. Um, I don't know if Isaid this in this video,
uh... if you noticed in that clip, she had mentioned that I don't talk about a lot of
books that I have read. Imostly talk about books I am reading or are going to read. So..
I'm going to be doing some videos breaking down the 1,000 books in my Goodreads' read
list... into like categories? Um, right now the only category Ihave... I already filmed...
cause i got way distracted. Is "I hate all your YA favs." This is basically me just talking
about a lot of popular YA series. I don't actually hate all of them. Just most of them.
Other ideas Ihad were mermaid books, fairytale retellings, under-hyped YA novels, gay romance,
and indie or self-published books. But if you have a category or thought or like a list
or anything where you're like "I wanna know books you've read in this.." tell me because
I have 1,000 books that I'm trying to organize into some semblance of order. Please help
me. Yeah, okay. Bye. [Coolest outro music plays ever.]
