Top Five Wednesday is actually a Youtube tag that happens
every week. Sam from the YouTube channel Thoughts On Tomes is the host, and
I’ll link her video for this week here. Essentially, there is a specific topic
where you choose five books that fit with the topic of that week. This week,
the theme is Books as Events. So, what books do you think would make a good
themed party? I’m not very good at hosting themed parties, but I’ll start with
an obvious bonus, because I’m sure we all know at least someone who has been to
a party with this theme—Harry Potter. It’s
such a classic and I myself have been to multiple parties of this theme. You
can’t really go wrong. I guess I’ll start with the books that I would think
would make a really cool party theme.
5. The Night Circus by
Erin Morgenstern
It’s been
so long since I’ve read this book, but it’s still one of my favorites. It’s
about a magical black-and-white circus where magicians have magical battles
and—to be honest I don’t particularly remember much of the plot. It might be
time to re-read this soon. But just think
of a party that was inspired by this world. It would just be magical.
4. Sherlock Holmes by
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Something
about a Sherlock Holmes party would
be just so much fun to me. I’ve always been a fan of the books and the movies
(the Robert Downey Jr. ones). It would be so cool to have some kind of mystery
dinner with all the characters of these books and short stories featured in
some way. It would be so cool to be in the middle of one of these mysteries
‘come to life.’
3. A Court of Thorns
and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas
I just
think it would be so much fun to pretend to be a part of any of the high courts
in this series. Faeries have always fascinated me, and they’re such party
animals anyways that this would be so much fun. It would probably be more of a
formal party but I would just love seeing all of the outfits that people would
show up in.
2. Heartless by
Marissa Meyer
This is an Alice in Wonderland retelling.
Technically it focuses on the Queen of Hearts, before she became the Queen of
Hearts. But an Alice in Wonderland party
is always fun. Cath, the main character in Heartless
only cares about baking, so the deserts of this party would have to be top
notch. Now I want to throw an Alice in
Wonderland party. Those are always so much fun!
1. The Infernal
Devices series by Cassandra Clare
I think that any of the
Cassandra Clare books that are published would be fun, but The Infernal Devices takes place in Victorian London. I love
reading about this era, and I think that it would be really fun to have
everyone come in the gowns and suits that they wore. Maybe it would be a kind
of ball, but I think it would be fascinating to have a mix of Victorian Era clothing
and Shadowhunter (the supernatural police of this world) attire in the same
room.
These are all of the books that I think would make really
fun events. I’m sure there are others that I’m missing, but these are the ones
that came to mind first. Let me know of any others you guys think would make
fun events in the comments! I’m going to leave a link to the YouTube video
here, so you can go check out the original post.
