I am doing a little something different today.
I had originally planned to share a book haul but then I decided instead to take part in the Booktube Newbie tag over on my channel. If you would like to take part here are the questions-feel free to answer them in the comments or on your channel and be sure to tag me so I can come over and see what your answers are!
Here are the questions:
1. Why did you start this channel?
I started this channel mainly because I don’t have people in my life who love reading like I do and I wanted to have a place to chat all about the books I am reading.
2. What fun or unique thing do you bring to Booktube?
I think my creative approach might be a fun way to incorporate all the art and writing I love with documenting my bookish life.
3. What are you most excited in starting your channel?
I would love to start an online book club that meets up and does read-alongs and I am looking forward to having enough interaction on my blog and channel to start something like that.
4. Why do you love reading?
I love entering beautifully crafted worlds and imagining myself interacting with the characters.
5. What book or series got you into readings?
The Babysitters Club, Sweet Valley Twins and anything written by Christopher Pike.
6. What questions would you ask your favorite book tubers?
Where do they get their books and how often do they buy them? What does their reading life look like-do they read at the same time each day or through out the day?
7. Challenges or hurdles you have to starting your channel?
Coming up with new ideas so things don’t feel too repetitive.
8. When did you start reading?
When I was about 9 years-old
9. Where do you like to read?
In my wing back chair in my living room.
10. What kind of books do you like to read?
Cozy mysteries & historical fiction
11. What does your book collection look like?
I don’t have a very large book collection because I tend to give away books once I have read them-unless I absolutely LOVE them! I am slowly starting to build a collection now but it’s small, eclectic and consists of mainly used books.
Until next time…

I don’t have a large collection of books either; I realized years ago that I read far too many books in a year to buy and store them all so I mostly just rely on our library now.
Me too! I love the library and really make use of it.
Hi Michele! I’d never heard of Booktube channels! It’s fun to learn more about you as you answered these questions. You do so many cool things! I mainly listen to audiobooks in order to save my “eye energy” for crafy projects!
Thanks Michelle! I just learned about Booktube last year or so and it’s really fun and a lovely community. I have been really enjoying audiobooks myself and you are right-we have to save those eyes for all things crafty 🙂
