00:00 Hey guys, it's Sydney Sweeney and I'm going to give Marie Claire a personal look into

00:04 my little library.

00:06 Welcome to Shelf Portrait.

00:09 So some of the books I've read recently during quarantine have been We Used to Be Friends

00:20 by Amy Spaulding, which is about two friends who kind of lose their friendship and it's

00:27 told in dual timelines and so you kind of put the different pieces together as you read.

00:34 I love reading either in my bedroom or sitting outside somewhere.

00:40 I constantly read The Care and Keeping of You.

00:44 It's a book where girls learn about their changing bodies and like growing up and I

00:49 was obsessed with reading it and trying to figure out what the hell is going to happen.

00:55 Getting But Better by Christine Uccio.

00:58 It's about a girl who lies to her parents to follow her dream of becoming a writer in

01:03 Europe and she falls in love with a boy but things don't go the way that she wants and

01:10 she's forced to go back home but then like we all wish that we could do she gets a second

01:16 chance and she meets a fairy godmother and she gets to retry everything and do it all

01:23 again for better.

01:26 They Wish They Were Us by Jessica Goodman.

01:29 This is something I highly recommend.

01:32 Not only is it an amazing book but I am actually going to be producing this into a limited

01:37 series with my company 50/50 Films and I partnered with Jean-Marc Vallee and Nathan Ross's Crazy

01:43 Rose.

01:44 I'm going to play Jill and Kalzi will be playing Rachel so it's a great read.

01:51 It's a murder mystery and it's a lot of fun.

01:55 I have definitely thought about writing a book.

01:58 I constantly try to write the first sentence and I don't really know where to start.

02:02 When I read I always have a notebook with me and I write in the notebook and I never

02:07 really write in the actual book though.

02:09 I would love to see The Grace Year by Kim Lajet in Turned Into A Movie.

02:16 It's like a YA handmade style and it's unbelievable.

02:24 Down on my bottom two shelves I have books that I read in school.

02:31 They are all books that I felt like I really learned something from and I hope that I will

02:36 read sometime again.

02:37 There's this one book called Entrepreneurship and it's basically teaching and helping you

02:45 learn how to manage ideas within your own organization or within yourself.

02:53 I really felt like I learned a lot from this and it's a great read and for anyone doing

02:58 anything I think you can take away a lot from it.

03:04 Thank you for watching Shelf Portrait and don't forget to watch Nocturne.
