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

00:05library. Welcome to Shilf Portrait. So some of the books I've read recently during quarantine

00:17have been We Used to Be Friends by Amy Spaulding, which is about two friends who kind of lose their

00:26friendship, and it's told in dual timelines, and so you kind of put the different pieces together as you read.

00:34I love reading either in my bedroom or sitting outside somewhere. I constantly read The Care and

00:42Keeping of You. It's a book where girls learn about their changing bodies and like growing up,

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

00:53Again But Better by Christine Michio. It's about a girl who lies to her parents to follow her dream of

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

01:09wants, and she's forced to go back home. But then, like we all wish that we could do, she gets a second

01:16chance, and she means a fairy godmother, and she gets to retry everything and do it all again for

01:24better.

01:26They Wish They Arrest by Jessica Goodman. This is something I highly recommend. Not only is it an amazing book,

01:34but I am actually going to be producing this into a limited series with my company, 5050 Films, and I

01:40partnered with Jean-Marc Vallée and Nathan Ross' Crazy Rose. I'm going to play Jill, and Halsey will be playing

01:48Rachel, so it's a great read. It's a murder mystery, and it's a lot of fun.

01:55I have definitely thought about writing a book. I constantly try to write the first sentence, and I

02:01don't really know where to start. When I read, I always have a notebook with me, and I write in the

02:06notebook, and I never really write in the actual book, though. I would love to see The Grace Year by

02:12Kim LeJet in Turned Into a Movie. It's like a YA Handmaid's Tale, and it's unbelievable.

02:21Down on my bottom two shelves, I have books that I read in school. They are all books that I felt

02:33like I really learned something from, and I hope that I will read sometime again. There's this one

02:38book called Entrepreneurship, and it's basically teaching and helping you learn how to manage ideas

02:48within your own organization or within yourself, and I really felt like I learned a lot from this,

02:56and it's a great read, and for anyone doing anything, I think you can take away a lot from it.

03:01Thank you for watching Shelf Portrait, and don't forget to watch Nocturne.
