Raynor Reads StuffHi everyone, I'm trying to catch up on my book tags and this is a tag originally created by Joe and Mary @BookBuds a while ago. I was tagged by the lovely Pat at @BookChatWithPat8668 and it has taken me about two months to respond (sorry Pat).
The prompts are: 1. What is something that you own way too many of, other than books? 2. What is something that you do for fun that’s not reading a book? 3. What is something special or important on your nightstand, that’s not a book? 4. What’s something that you buy at a bookstore other than books? 5. What’s a fun gift that you’ve received that wasn’t a book or a gift card for books? 6. What’s a YouTube channel that you watch, that’s not related to books? 7. Tag five BookTubers that you want to learn more about. Those people are: @BooklessPete @MyGrannyEra @Eldertalk @Tristan-L-Space-Books @willchambers8065

#booktube #books #bookdiscussion #myopinionsBook Buds’ Second Original TagRaynor Reads Stuff2024-08-20 | This is called Book Buds’ Second Original Tag from @BookBuds and I was tagged by my friend Pat at @BookChatWithPat8668
Book Buds said: "We're all Book Buds here on BookTube so let's have some fun with our buds and see who has the strength of character to help us out in some unusual circumstances!"
If you do the tag, make sure you tag @BookBuds so they can check out your responses. Sorry I couldn't whittle mine down to one person for each question!
Questions: 1. You’re stuck on a deserted island and can only bring one booktuber bud, but ALL their books would come with them - who do you want to be stuck with?
2. You accidentally rob a bookstore with a booktuber bud by walking out with 100 books. You spend a year behind bars with them, BUT now you can read and do videos together. Who do you get locked up with?
3. You magically get trapped in a murder mystery you are reading. Another booktuber bud joins you to solve the mystery! – Who do you want to join you?
4. You magically get trapped in a fantasy novel fighting dragons and casting spells. Which booktuber bud do you choose to bring in with you to save the day?
5. You are stuck in the cloud of sadness, hitting a reading funk, and feeling totally uninspired. Which booktuber bud can pick you up with their positivity?
6. Your arms are in cast for two months and a booktuber bud is going to edit all your videos for you. - Who edits them and why?
7. You press a button and instantly have read ALL the books that a booktuber bud has already read. - Which bud would you pick and why?
And my answers: 1. Greg at @anotherbibliophilereads Gavin at @GenreBooks23 Aaron at @AaronReadABook and Aaron @aaronfacer 2.
