aside from the Fall Favorites -tag I did in 2017...That was a long time ago!
This tag has been around for well over four years and the original video is not available anymore.
I will however link to Angela's (Literature Science Alliance) video, where I got the initial inspiration to do the Finally Fall Book Tag.
Angelas version:
youtube.com/watch?v=X7DpQHRBN2w
If you want to see me in a cringe Halloween costume, you can watch the 2017 video here:
youtu.be/1UG6RmTTi9g
Prompts:
1. In fall, the air is crisp and clear: name a book with a vivid setting
2. Nature is beautiful, but also dying: name a book that is beautifully written, but also deals with a heavy topic like loss or grief.
3. Fall is back to school season: share a non-fiction book that taught you something new.
4. In order to keep warm, it’s good to spend some time with the people we love: name a fictional family/household/friend-group that you’d like to be a part of.
5. The colorful leaves are piling up on the ground: show us a pile of fall-colored spines!
6. Fall is the perfect time for some storytelling by the fireside: share a book wherein somebody is telling a story.
7. The nights are getting darker: share a dark, creepy read.
8. The days are getting colder: name a short, heartwarming read that could warm up somebody’s cold and rainy day.
9. Fall returns every year: name an old favorite that you’d like to return to soon.

I guess this marks the end of the "Hopeful Tags" -trilogy.
Previously I have done The Hopeful Book tag and The Hopeful Book Tag 2.0.
Now, I am shifting the focus to content creation and more personal individual views on hope.
So, I hope you will enjoy the "Hopeful Booktuber" tag.
PROMPTS:
1. Hope means different things to different people. How would you define hope?
2. As a content creator, how does hope and hopefulness manifest in your content?
3. Is there a book genre you most associate with hopeful narratives? If yes, why is that?
4. Recommend three books or stories with themes of hope and resistance.
(Bonus points, if they're new releases)
