The Book Finch | Hopeful Booktuber Tag | ORIGINAL @TheBookFinch | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
It is once again time to be hopeful.
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)
