Hey guys, it's Sydney Sweeney and I'm going to give
Marie Claire a personal look into my little library.
Welcome to Shelf portrait.
So some of the books I've read recently during quarantine
have been We Used to be Friends by Amy Spaulding,
which is about two friends who kind of lose their
friendship and it's told in dual timelines.
And so you kind of put the different pieces together
as you read.
I love reading either in my bedroom or sitting outside
somewhere.
I constantly read The Care and Keeping of you.
It's a book where girls learn about their changing bodies
and like growing up and I was obsessed with reading
it and trying to figure out what the hell is
going to happen again.
The Better by Christine Uchio.
It's about a girl who lives for her parents to
follow her dream of becoming a writer in Europe, and
she falls in love with a boy.
But things don't go the way that she wants and
she's forced to go back home.
But then, like we all wish that we could do,
she gets a second chance and she meets a fairy
godmother and she gets to retry everything and do it
all again for better.
They wish they were asked by Jessica Goodman.
This is something I highly recommend and not only is
it an amazing book, but I am actually going to
be producing this into a limited series with my company,
5050 Films, and I partnered with John Marfale and Nathan
Ross's Crazy Rose.
I'm going to play Jill and Halsey will be playing
Rachel.
So it's a great read.
It's a murder mystery and it's a lot of fun.
I have definitely thought about writing a book.
I constantly try to write the first sentence and I
don't really know where to start.
When I read, I always have a notebook with me
and I write in the notebook and I never really
write in the actual book.
Though I would love to see The Grace Year by
Kim Leggett and turned into a movie.
It's like a Why a Handmaid's Tale and it's unbelievable.
Down on my bottom two shelves, I have books that
I read in school.
They are all books that I felt like I really
learned something from and I hope that I will read
some time again.
There's this one book called Entrepreneurship, and it's basically teaching
and helping you learn how to manage ideas within your
own organization or within yourself.
And I really felt like I learned a lot from
this and it's a great read.
And for anyone doing anything, I think you can take
away a lot from it.
Thank you for watching Shelf Portrait and don't forget to
watch Nocturne.
