Top 5 Books I read Before Booktube 1.      The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.   I love this series, but I no longer have it, because I gave it to one of my best friends.   I’m very picky about reading science fiction, basically I don’t read it that often especially if its heavy with the science, but this fairytale retelling series with a Syfy spin was rather fun.   It retells the stories of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Snow White.   Cinderella is half a Cyborg, Rapunzel is a computer tech genius, Snow White is crazy, and Red Riding is a feisty teenage girl.   The evil queen isn’t just vain, but she can create an illusion of beauty and control the minds of others.   The author, like many who write retellings, gives the characters and the plot a 3 dimensional and more complex approach.   This series is full of adventure, humor, and romance a perfect combination for me or anyone to enjoy. 2.   ...
