Good morning BookTube! Happy Tag Tuesday. Today I will be doing The Whale Tag. I was asked by the creator of the tag, Ryan @ Book Time With Ryan, to give my answers and so I did. It is a great tag, very creative. I invite everyone to try it out. The prompts are pretty easy to fit books into and so it is open for everyone. Go check out Ryan's channel. He is a great BookTuber who has a wonderful sense of humor and creates great content. Thank you for watching. Have a great day and remember, SAVE THE WHALES!!
HAPPY READING!!!

The Whale Tag
Questions/Prompts:
1. BLUE WHALE – The blue whale is the largest, heaviest animal on earth, ever. What’s the longest book you’ve read or want to read? Or what’s the “heaviest” subject you’ve read about?
2. SPERM WHALE – Sperm whales routinely dive to a depth of 2,000 feet to feed on squid but can dive to a depth of 10,000 feet. What is a book that has motivated you to look deeper into a subject, character, situation, or series?
3. HUMPBACK WHALE – Humpback whales sing long, complex songs they have in common with other individual humpback whales. These songs can change uniformly for entire groups of whales. What is a book that has changed meaning for you over the years? Why did it change?
4. ORCA – Orcas or killer whales are incredibly smart, social whales (dolphins). What’s a book you felt was especially smart, fiction or nonfiction, and made you really think?
5. BELUGA – Belugas are nicknamed the canaries of the seas because of the sounds they make. What’s a book you wanted to talk to others about after reading it? Why?
6. NARWHAL – Male narwhals, known as the unicorns of the seas, have two teeth, including one long spiraling tooth that can grow nearly 9 feet long. What’s a book you heard great things about before reading only to discover it was less magical after reading it?
7. BOWHEAD WHALE – While it’s evident bowhead whales live well beyond 100 years of age, there’s evidence they may live to be 200 years old. What is the oldest book in your collection or what book has been in your collection the longest?
8. ATLANTIC GRAY WHALE – Atlantic gray whales were sadly wiped out by humans. Today only Pacific gray whales remain. Save the whales! What’s one book that’s either out of print or out of fashion that you wish would make a comeback?
BONUS – MOBY DICK – Moby Dick was the great white sperm whale Captain Ahab never caught. What is a book you want to own but haven’t found or bought? What’s stopping you from hooking that book?
Scientists tag whales to help study their behaviors, such as migration. Tag 5 BookTubers to complete this tag. And remember, SAVE THE WHALES!
