1. Tag Firsts: did you do the Booktube Newbie Tag? If not what was your first tag? Do you choose to watch Newbie Tags?
2. Tag Emotions: what feelings do tags provoke in you? Tag joy and delight? Tag boredom and resentment? Tag guilt or anxiety? Even tag envy?
3. Tag Favourites: what kind of tags do you like most and least, to do and to watch?
4. Tag Style: how do you tag? Do you have a system for keeping track of when you are tagged or tags you plan to do? Do you prepare to do tags or just wing it?
5. Tag Memories: of the tags you have watched, done or created which have stuck in your memory? Are there any you would like to revisit or revive?
