Tag Tuesday

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…

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I have a bonus bookish blog post for you today. I am taking part in my first ever BookTube tag and it was so much fun! I saw it first on Melinda’s channel A Web of Stories and when I commented to she encouraged me to complete the tag as well.

To spare myself typing out all the answers (I go on in the video a bit 🙂 I won’t do that but I will list all the questions here and if you blog about all things bookish please consider answering them! I would love to read your answers (or if you do have a BookTube channel I would love to know) so please do comment below.

Now, without further adieu here are the questions:

1. You have 20,000 books on your TBR! How in the world do you decide what to read next?

2. You’re half way through a book and you’re just not loving it. Do you quit or are you committed?

3. The end of the year is coming and you’re so close, but so far away on your goodreads reading challenge. Do you try to catch up? And how?

4. The covers of a series you love do not match. How do you cope?

5. Everyone and their mother loves a book you really don’t like. Who do you bond with over shared feelings?

6. You’re Reading a book and you’re about to start crying in public. How do you feel?

7. A sequel of a Book you loved just came out, but you’ve forgotten a lot from the prior novel. Will you reread the book? Skip the sequel? Try to find a synopsis on goodreads? Cry in frustration?

8. You do not want anyone. Anyone. Borrowing your books. How do you politely tell people nope when they ask?

9. You’ve picked up and put down five books in the last month. How do you get over your reading slump?

10. There are so many new books coming out that you’re dying to read. How many do you actually buy?

11. After you’ve bought the new books you can’t wait to get to, how long do they sit on your shelves before you get to them?

Well that is it for today’s post. I hope you are having a wonderful fall and getting some time to curl up with a great read.

Until next time…
