Hello! It's a booktube staple, today I'm talking about all 10 Books I Think will be Five Stars. Not that I give star ratings but it's the conceit of the genre. I made one of these videos 3 years ago and I still haven't read all the books, so who knows if you'll ever get satisfaction! It's pretty much the usual, all literary fiction, historical fiction and nonfiction.
