The Phenomenal Woman Readathon is an event created by @MarilynMayaMendoza in observation of her 4-year-anniversary on BookTube, her 74th birthday this month, and her longtime connection to the poet and memoirist, Maya Angelou.

The Book Buds Second Original Tag

Book Chat With Pat 2024-08-20 | This is The Book Buds' Second Original Tag. They have recently revived this tag. I was tagged by @BookBuds .

Here's what they had to say about this tag:

The Book Buds Tag! (Original) Our 2nd Original Tag!! So excited! 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 this tag, please tag @BookBuds so they can check out your answers.

Remember: you can answer with people who have already done the tag, even with the original Book Buds creators! Just have fun with it!

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?

There is no need to tag additional people, because you basically just tagged everyone that you mentioned! Let YOUR Book Buds know you mentioned them and let’s see what they do with this tag!

If you are watching this tag video and you would like to do it too, please consider yourself tagged.

ROCKET SUMMER: Life on Mars by Tracy K Smith

Book Chat With Pat 2024-07-25 | ROCKET SUMMER is a new summer reading event, created by @michaelk.vaughan8617 in which we are reading CLASSIC SCIENCE FICTION for the month of July. At the suggestion of one of my subscribers, I am sharing in this video a brief discussion of the former US Poet Laureate, Tracy K. Smith, and her Pulitzer Prize-winning volume, LIFE ON MARS. This is a book of poetry that she wrote largely as an elegy for her father, Floyd William Smith, an engineer who helped to develop the Hubble Space Telescope. So today, I am combining Rocket Summer and Poetry Thursday with this discussion of Smith and a reading from her collection.

The month is focused in the following way:
Week 1: The Beginnings of SF in the 19th Century through 1939
Week 2: SF from 1940 through 1949
Week 3: SF from 1950 through 1959
Week 4: SF from 1960 through 1969

"I saw 'The Honest Booktuber Tag,' on someone else's channel. I decided to do it. It's a fun one to do and I am hoping it gets revived. 'The Honest Booktuber Tag' was created by @HarrietRosie13.

Prompts:
1. Have you ever lied about reading a book?
2. Have you ever avoided a book because of controversy around the content/author/
3. Have you ever been sent a book for free and not disclosed it?
4. Have you ever bought a book with no intention of reading it?
5. Have you ever got caught up in Booktube drama?
6. Have you ever had a hate comment and did you respond?
7. Have you ever made a video just because you knew it would get views?
8. If you could go back to the beginning of your channel, would you do anything differently?
9. Are there any channels you wish you could be more like?
