Reflections on 3 Years of Booktube + Q & A announcement! [CC] Fully Booked 2023-02-12 | I'm usually not the begging type, but I am begging you to post questions and to come to the livestream if you can, as it would really cheer me up... On my actually birthday (which happened after I recorded this video), I was rejected for a job that was tailor-made for my skillset/experience, that I desperately wanted, and honestly... that I desperately needed. Suffice it to say, it ruined my birthday for me. So, to move on from my crappy real birthday, I'd love to celebrate my booktube birthday with as many booktube buddies as possible. ❤️❤️❤️
