Hey guys, it's Brittany. Welcome back to a new video. As you guys can see from the
title, I'm going to be doing the Pray for the Wicked tag. The tag was originally
created by Becca and The Books. I will leave her original video down below
in the description box. I really wanted to do this tag because I do love Panic
at the Disco so much. I've actually gotten to see Panic at the Disco perform
a couple of times and I absolutely love them. They're one of my favorite bands of
all time. I really wanted to do this book tag because I really love the Pray for
the Wicked album and I want to do it so I'm gonna do it.
Fuck a silver lining, Fuck a silver lining 'Cause only gold is hot enough, hot enough
Fuck a silver lining, Fuck a silver lining 'Cause only gold is hot enough, hot enough
It's just cherries, cherries Everything is cherries on top
It's just cherries, cherries Everything is cherries on top
So the first song is Fuck a Silver Lining. The question that goes
with this is a book you didn't expect to like but loved or a not-so-great book that
had a silver lining that kept you booked. For this I'm going to go with Warcross
by Marie Lu. I actually read this for a class to do what's called a "digested
read" which is where you take a book and you boil it down to its plot and you
kind of make fun of it when you're doing that. I had heard through Goodreads that there
was a lot of times that the main characters rainbow hair was mentioned
and so I went into this book with very low expectations and I ended up
absolutely loving it. I'm sure you can imagine that I was very shocked when I
realized I actually really loved this book and then I picked up Wildcard and
I loved that even more. This was definitely a book that took me by
surprise, that I didn't think I would actually like but I actually ended up
really loving.
There's nothing else there for me at my door All the people I know aren't who they used to be
And if I try to change my life one more day There would be nobody else to save
And I can't change into a person I don't wanna be so, Oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
I pray for the wicked on the weekend Mama, can I get another amen?
Oh oh oh oh oh Oh, it's Saturday night,
So the second question is Say Amen (Saturday Night). The question that goes with this is either a book
you were thankful was over or a book you could spend all Saturday night reading. I
am going with the all Saturday night reading and that is Renegades by Marissa
Meyer. I loved this book I read the last half of this book in a day. The first
half took me a little while because I was on break and then I was starting
school again. I didn't have time to really read. The second half though, I
flew through. I love this book. I could spend all Saturday night rereading this book
because it's that good and that fantastic and I loved it that much.
All my life, been hustling And tonight is my appraisal
'Cause I'm a hooker sellin' songs And my pimp's a record label
This world if full demons, Stocks and bible traitors
So I do the deed get up and leave I climber and a sadist, yeah
Are you ready for the sequel? Ain't you ready for the latest?
Ain't got enough evil I'm gonna be the greatest
In a golden cathedral I'll be praying for the faithless
And if you lose, boo-hoo Hey look ma, I made it
Hey look ma, I made it Everything's comin' up aces, aces
If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me I said hey look ma, I made it
Next song is Hey Look Ma I Made It, a book you felt accomplished for finishing.Tthis one's
gonna be The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. This book is literally a
thousand pages. I have the mass-market, floppy paperback. This thing is a brick.
It could kill somebody. I'm pretty sure this is one of the books that put my
luggage over when I went back home because it's that massive and that heavy.
I was very intimidated by this book. I read The Name of the Wind the year
before and I really loved it. However I was really scared to get toTthe Wise
Man's Fear because first off we have no idea when the third book is coming and
second off this book is a beast. I did, however, listen to the audiobook of it
which really helped cut down my fear of this book but oh my god. It took me
forever to finish it. I felt so accomplished but I did finish it. I was
sad that I finished it because now I have to wait for the third book like
everybody else but I felt really accomplished when I finished this book.
High, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million Always had high, high hopes
Mama said Fulfill the prophecy
Be something greater Go make a legacy
Manifest destiny Back in the days
We wanted everything, wanted everything
Next song is High Hopes, a book you had high hopes for but fell flat.
Unfortunately, for me, that's Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi. I'm sorry. I really
wanted to love this book because I do love to Tahereh's Shatter Me series. However,
it just was not for me. I didn't really enjoy it. I mostly was just trying to get
through it by the end of it because I was pretty bored actually. I feel really
bad saying that because I really do love to Tahereh's other series but this book
just did not click for me. I had really high hopes for it because I thought it
was going to be fantastic. Tahereh has a beautiful writing style so
I was looking very forward to it but unfortunately it just fell flat.
Broadway is black like a sinkhole Everyone raced to the suburbs
And I'm on the rooftop with curious strangers This is the oddest of summers
Maybe I'll medicate, maybe inebriate Strange situations, I get anxious
Maybe I'll smile a bit, maybe the opposite But pray that they don't call me thankless
My tell-tale heart's a hammer in my chest Cut me a silk-tied tourniquet
This is my roaring, roaring 20's I don't even know me
Roll me like a blunt, 'cause I wanna go home Roll me like a blunt, 'cause I wanna go home
My roaring, roaring 20s I don't even know me
Roll me like a blunt, 'cause I wanna go home Roll me like a blunt, 'cause I want, I wanna go home
Roaring Twenties, a book that makes you feel nostalgic. Of course I have to go
with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling. This was the book
that got me into reading. This was the book that started my whole reading
journey. It makes me feel nostalgic. Every single time I read the first Harry
Potter book, I feel like I'm coming home. I have to put this book here because it
is the book that makes me feel the most nostalgic and makes me the most happy.
I'm a moon-walker, I'm like MJ up in the clouds I know it sounds awkward
I'm filthy as charged, filthy as charged You're a sweet talker,
But darlin' whatcha gonna say now? The midnight marauders,
The higher never come down, never come down You can't take me anywhere, anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, anywhere I'm still uninvited, I'm still gonna light it,
I'm going insane and I don't care (Whatever they tell you)
Dancin', dancin' Dancing is not a crime, 'less you do it without me
'Less you do it without me Oh dancin', dancin'
Dancing is not a crime, unless you do it Do it, do it, do it do it (without me)
Dancing's Not A Crime, a book that Booktube makes you feel is a crime for loving/hating. This one I'm
going with hating and that's Three Dark Crowns by Kendall Blake. Did not like. I
read this book because I thought I was going to love it. It sounded really
interesting. Three sisters who are going to be competing against each other to
get this throne and they might have to kill each other. That premise sounded
awesome to me. However, it fell really flat for me. I was
really bored the whole time I was reading this book and I honestly wanted
to get it over with. I kind of saw the twist coming and I just wanted to get
through it. I have no desire to pick up the other books. I feel really bad for
not liking this book because a lot of Booktube and a lot of my friends really do
like this book but it's just not for me.
Orange juice, pour out half the carton Grey Goose, pour it, get it started
Good times, remedy your sorrows Baptize, don't worry about tomorrow
Shake it up, shake it up, now it's time to dive in Share a cup, share a cup, now you're screw-driving
Every weekend with your friends Every weekday when it ends
Damn it's all good, I guess This is what it feels like when you become one of
the drunks This is what it feels like when you become one of
the drunks Searching for a new high, high as the sun,
uncomfortably numb This is what it feels like when you become one of
the drunks Welcome to the club
One of the Drunks, a book that got you drunk and left you in a book hangover. That is Renegades
by Marissa Meyer. I finished this book and I didn't want to read anything else
except for Archenemies. However, I had to pull myself back and tell myself I
couldn't read Archenemies after I read Renegades because I would get the two
confused and I don't want to do that. I knew I had to move on to another book.
However, it was really difficult to do after Renegades because I really loved it. At
this current time I haven't read Archenemies yet. I do have plans to read it very
soon because I really love it. They just released the title for the third book
and I'm screaming and I need answers. I need to know what's going to happen in
this series. But this was a book that left me with a book hangover
Let me hear you say somethin' Sorry to get sentimental tonight
(That perfume lingers in your hair) It's just that everything reminds me of things
I thought I shouldn't have to see again See, the thing is I'm so sorry to say
(You need me don't you?) Someone still loves you
Someone still loves you Meet me, meet me
At the overpass, at the overpass Sketchy girls and lipstick boys
Troubled love and high speed noise I know you wanna meet me, meet me
At the overpass, at the overpass Sketchy girls and lipstick boys
Troubled love and high speed noise I know you wanna
Let me hear you say somethin'
The Overpass, a book that deals with difficult subject matter. This one I'm
going with Orange Volume 1 by Ichiko Takano. This deals with suicide
and mental health. There are two volumes to this manga. I obviously am gonna be
putting a trigger warning out there for suicide and for depression. It was a very
impactful manga for me to read. This was one of the first mangas that I read. I
absolutely fell in love with Ichigo Takano's storytelling and her artwork. I
thought this was a very important story that talked about suicide. The premise of
the story is about this girl who, a new boy comes into her class, and she starts
receiving letters from the future telling her what to do when it came to
certain situations with him and she starts to realize that her future self
is trying to help save this boy. It's absolutely fantastic. I really love this manga series.
Heaven knows that I'm born too late For these ghosts that I chase
With these dreams, I inflate, painted skies in my brain
Every day, I'm Carl Sagan in space To escape this old world, this old world
Some days I lie wide awake 'til the sun hits my face And I fade, elevate from the Earth
Far away to a place where I'm free from the weight This whole world, this whole world
I don't trust anything Or anyone, below the sun
I don't feel anything At all
I'm king of the clouds, of the clouds I get lifted, I get lifted
King of the clouds, of the clouds I get lifted, I get lifted
King on the Clouds, your go to book to lift you up when you're feeling down.
This is actually another manga series by Ichigo Takano. It's
Dreamin' Sun. This is the cutest manga eve. It's a manga about a girl who feels
like she is being ignored by her dad and her stepmom because they have a new baby.
So she decides to run away from home and she ends up moving into this house with
these three other guys and it's super cute. This manga also has a fun game in
it called to find Poko. I haven't heard anyone talk about this game. I play it
religiously because it's a corgi and I adore corgi's. The whole point of the
game is that Poko is throughout the manga and there's a certain number of
him throughout the manga you have to find him in those certain parts. Usually
he's outside. It's fantastic. I love the game. This manga though is adorable. I
love it so much. Every single character I adore. I find myself laughing out loud
whenever I read this manga. It is so cute. I love it so much.
Once upon a thrill, from a kiss to a swill We were swallowin' the nights like we had nine lives
Dead and gone so long, seventeen's so gone Dead and gone so long, seventeen's so
We were borderline kids with a book of disorders Medicatin' every day to keep the straightness in
order Dead and gone so long, seventeen's so gone
Dead and gone so long, seventeen's so gone It's the false side of hope where believers concede
And there's only memories when it's over So pour out some liquor, make it an old-fashioned
Remember your youth, in all that you do The plank and the passion
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
Of your life
Old Fashioned, your favorite book published before the year 2000. I'm going real old school with this. Pride and
Prejudice by Jane Austen. Jane Austen is actually one of my favorite classic
writers. I absolutely love her books. This was the first book that introduced me to
a Jane Austen. I actually read it in about sixth grade. We used to have to do these test
things where we would have to read a book and we'd have to take a test on the
things that happened within that book. We only did this in sixth grade. After that
I think it just got disbanded from my school. Well me being me
and wanting to read for pleasure and not read for school, I decided to go big or
go home. This one was worth, I believe, about 18
points. You had to get 15 points to be able to pass that thing and not have to do
it ever again. So I decided go big or go home.
Sixth grade. I'm gonna read Pride and Prejudice and I did and I got the 18
points and I didn't have to do that reading test thing ever again, thank God.
When I was in sixth grade, I obviously didn't appreciate the beauty that was
Pride and Prejudice. I did like the book a lot and I thought it was really cute
but then once I got into high school we still didn't really read Pride and
Prejudice because my school had very weird years when the curriculum was
changing and so one year we didn't even have like a set lesson plan of books.
It was just whatever the teacher felt like and then one year my teacher like
was having a kid and that was three months of doing Hamlet, which is great.
Because sidenote. He actually made himself look like the Kenneth Branagh
version of Hamlet. He looked exactly like him which was very scary and kind of
cool at the same time. However, I didn't get to read Pride and Prejudice in high
school. I actually reread Pride and Prejudice in college and I started
picking up on the more subtler funny hints in Pride and Prejudice of the
things that happened and I started picking up on Jane Austen's humor and
what she was making fun of. I fell in love with Pride and Prejudice again when
I reread it in college because I actually got the humor this time and got
everything that she was talking about. I love Pride and Prejudice. It is my
favorite classic book of all time and I will stand by that.
The moment you arrived they built you up The sun was in your eyes
You couldn't believe it Riches all around, you're walking
Stars are on the ground You start to believe it
Every face along the boulevard is a dreamer just like you
You looked at death in a tarot card and you saw what you had to do
But nobody knows you now When you're dying in LA
And nobody owes you now When you're dying in LA
When you're dying in LA When you're dying in LA
The power, the power, the power Oh the power, the power, the power
Of LA
Dying in LA, a book that you love that is underhyped.
This one is kind of a book. It started off as a comic book series and now it's
becoming a graphic novel series and that is Fence by C.S. Pacat, the art is by
Johanna the Mad. I've heard Books with Chloe talk about Fence but that's about
it. I really love this comic series. I originally read C.S. Pacat's Captive Prince
trilogy and then I found out she's coming out with this comic and I really wanted to
read it. The reason why is that she described it as Yuri on Ice but fencing
and I love Yuri on ice. I adore Yuri on Ice. I could make a whole
hour long video about my love for Yuri on Ice and why it's such a good show. Incase you
don't know what Yuri on Ice is about. It's about this figure skater named
Yuri who, he's really down with his luck. He is having a really hard time finding
his passion for skating again and then the biggest male figure skater in the
world, Victor Nikiforov, shows up to be his coach and it's fantastic. I
love that show. So when she said it was Yuri on Ice meets fencing I was like I
am here. C.S. Pacat is actually a fencer and a figure skater so she knows what she's
talking about when it comes to fencing. I find it really interesting how she's
able to blend teaching people who may not know anything about fencing, about
fencing while also having the story. I love this and it's going to have a hate
to love relationship. Praise. Bless. I love this book so much. It's so good. The first
bind up volume is out. I believe the second bind up volume is coming out soon
and then from there it is becoming a graphic novel series. I have all of the
original comic books because I needed it. I really love this comic. It's about this
boy named Nicholas Cox who he ends up getting to go to this fencing school.
It's a bit of a prestigious fencing school. However it's not as prestigious
as another one. Nicholas goes to this fencing school and he has this rivalry
with one of the boys who is at this fencing school as well named Seiji and
those two. Oh my god. I love it so much. It's so good. There's a secondary ship in
this that I absolutely adore. C.S. Pacat has managed to make the
cutest comic/what's now gonna be a graphic
novel series and I cannot wait to get more of it. That's it for this time today.
I had a lot of fun actually doing this tag. I really like singing along to Panic
at the Disco's music so I had fun. thank you guys so much for watching. All of my
social medias are linked down in the description box. You are not obligated

take care and read on.
