The TBR Tag

Just in case you didn't already know that I like lists and organization, I decided to do the TBR Tag to prove it!

The Questions:
1) How do you keep track of your TBR pile?
2) Is your TBR mostly print or ebook?
3) How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?
4) A book that's been on your TBR the longest
5) A book you recently added to your TBR
6) A book on your TBR strictly because of its beautiful cover
7) A book on your TBR that you never plan on reading
8) An unpublished book on your TBR that you're excited for
9) A book on your TBR that basically everyone's read but you
10) A book on your TBR that everyone recommends to you
11) A book on your TBR that you're dying to read
12) How many books are on your Goodeads TBR shelf?

Books I'll (Probably) Never Read | Original Tag

I can't believe I've been on BookTube for four years and have never created an original tag before! I've been binge watching beauty and lifestyle videos lately and came across the concept of the anti-haul, which ended up inspiring this video.

Even if you don't make videos, I'd love to read some of your answers in the comments of this post! Check out the questions and feel free to drop me an answer.

The Questions:
1) A really hyped book you're not interested in reading?
2) A series you won't start/won't be finishing?
3) A classic that you're just not interested in?
4) Any genres you never read?
5) A book on your shelves you'll probably never actually read?

The Not a Booktube Newbie Tag

I can't believe I've been making Booktube videos for almost four years! Seriously, it feels like just yesterday that I was nervously stuttering out my first video (which is still live if you feel like you want to go back and relive the awkwardness that was me in college).

The Monster Mash Book Tag

I know, I know, Halloween was back on Monday! Better late than never, right?

The Questions:

1. I was working in the lab late one night. What’s a book that kept you up at night?

2. My eyes beheld and eerie sight. What is the weirdest or creepiest shit you’ve ever read in a book?

3. Get a jolt from my electrodes. Name a book that completely shocked or surprised you.

4. The guests included Wolfman, Dracula, and his son. Name your favorite monster or villain from a book.

5. Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist? Name a book that was super hyped when it came out, but no one talks about anymore.

6. They did the mash. Name your favorite book that is a mash up of two or more genres.

7. It was a graveyard smash. What is your favorite horror novel?

8. The scene was rockin’, all were digging the sounds: What’s your favorite song based on a book?

9. Tell them Boris sent you: What is your go-to book recommendation?

10. For you, the living, this mash was meant too: Who do you tag?

11. Bonus question: What is your favorite thing about Halloween?

The Villain vs Villain Tag

Seeing as Halloween is just a few days away, I thought this tag was rather seasonally appropriate! I was tagged by fellow Booktuber Peter from PeterClarkTheWriter and the Villain vs Villain Tag was originally created by Olive from HeyItsOlive.

The idea behind this tag is to gather up the names of a bunch of villains from books, tv shows, and movies. Put all these names in a hat and draw out two at a time for five random match-ups. I'm following the basic premise of the tag, pitting villains against villains, but I'm skipping the random match-ups for a few parings I thought would be interesting!

1. Captain Hook (Peter Pan) vs Long John Silver (Treasure Island)

This was (obviously) the first pairing that came to mind when I decided to do this tag. I've always thought it would be super cool to see two of the literature's most famous pirates go at it! And yes, I'm talking the literary characters, not the pirates of the many film adaptations. I think it would be a fairly even match at first, given that both pirates are fairly crafty. But I think that, in a fight to the death, Long John Silver would have the advantage. After all, Hook wasn't even able to take down a single magical boy!

2. Voldemort (Harry Potter) vs Sauron (The Lord of the Rings)

This is the other pairing that I've always wondered about and, to be honest, I'm not sure I have an answer. Voldemort is, of course, the infamous Harry Potter villain who has the deadliest of spells fueled by his endless hate for the rest of the world. Then there is Sauron, the dark lord of Middle Earth, who commands all the darkest creatures. If this was about comparing superiority complexes, they're a definite match made in heaven. But in a one on one fight, I'm really not sure! What do you guys think?

3. Count Dooku (Star Wars) vs Saruman (The Lord of the Rings)

I know, I know, I just did a Lord of the Rings villain, but this pairing was really too good to pass up! If you think about it, Dooku and Saruman are insanely well matched. They're both swordsmen and both have the ability to throw their opponents across the room with the power of their thoughts. Plus, we'd be watching Christopher Lee fight himself, so bonus points! Ultimately, I think Count Dooku might have the physical edge and reflexes to just beat out the ancient Saruman.

What do you think of these three pairings? What villains would you like to see go up against each other? As for who I think should do this tag next, I would love to see Phillipa Mary of the blog The Little Book Owl try this out!

The Autumn Reading Tag

There's really nothing quite like a good tag video! And this one is no exception: we talk cosy reads, hot drinks, and what I plan on reading this autumn.

The Questions:
1) Are there any books you plan on reading over the Autumn season?
2) September brings back to school memories: what book did you most enjoy studying? And what were your favourite and least favorite school subjects?
3) October means Halloween: do you enjoy scary books and films? If so what are some of your favorites?
4) With November it's time for bonfire night & firework displays. What's the most exciting book you've read that really kept you gripped?
5) What book is your favorite cosy comfort read?
6) Curled up with a good book, what is your hot drink of choice?
7) Any plans you're looking forward to over the next few months?

The #SaveTheClassics Tag & iDoyle

Hopefully this does not need to be said, but I would not promote a company, service, book, or product that I didn't truly feel good about sharing with you all. Which is why I thought this was such an amazing opportunity to not only make a fun video but also to share what I feel is a truly unique app. The graphics and animations of the entire iClassics collection are astounding and only add to the greatness of the original classic texts. I would specifically recommend these apps for those trying to get younger readers into some of the most well-known classics out there!

The NaNoWriMo Tag

It's November, which means it's finally NaNoWriMo time! Just in case you have never heard of NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, it is a challenge in which thousands of people around the world attempt to write 50,000 words of a novel draft in the thirty days of November.

I couldn't be more excited to participate this year and plan on doing weekly update posts here on the blog throughout the month.

If you would like to join me and be my reading buddy, you can find my NaNo profile HERE.
