Hello Booktube! I'm here today with an original tag for you. I was inspired by a power outage this last week, in which I didn't think we would have power until about 10 p.m. Please feel free to do this tag or answer some of the questions in the Comments section. If you don't feel comfortable leaving a comment, you can leave a reading-in-the-dark emoji or give this video a thumbs up! I do appreciate it! Bonus Booktube points if you make your video in semi-darkness!
Prompts:
1. Did you ever read under the covers with a flashlight as a kid? If so, do you have any memorable books or experiences? Please share them with us!
2. Do you read when you wake up in the middle of the night as an adult? Do you use your e-reader, booklight, light on your nightstand, etc.? Please share any memorable books and/or memorable experiences.
3. Power Outage: What have your reading experiences been when the lights won't turn on, the tv is dead, the computer is out - do you read then? Share with us any memorable books or reading experiences during a power outage.
4. Reading Ignorance: Did you ever read a book because you realized you were completely in the dark about a particular a particular subject or genre? What was the book and the experience like?
5. Reading blindly: Do you ever read a novel without knowing anything about it? You haven't read the back of the book or any reviews - you just jump in. Name a book and share your experience.
6. Other dark places: Camping, cars, basements, the movies! What are any other dark places you have read in maybe unexpectedly? Share any books or memorable reading experiences.
7. Epiphany - The lights are on! What book or books have given you a proverbial light bulb over your head, something that really illuminated an idea to you. Share the book and reading experience.
8. Tag some Booktubers! (But anyone is welcome to do the tag!)
