Im 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, Id love to celebrate my booktube birthday with as many booktube buddies as possible. ❤️❤️❤️")

Q2. You’re halfway through a book and you’re just not loving it. Do you quit or are you committed?
Q3. The end of the year is coming and you’re so close, but so far away on your Goodreads reading challenge. Do you try to catch up and how?
Q4. The covers of a series you love do. not. match. How do you cope?

Q6. You’re reading a book and you are about to start crying in public. How do you deal?
Q7. A sequel of a book you loved just came out, but you’ve forgotten a lot from the prior novel. Will you re-read the book? Skip the sequel? Try to find a synopsis on Goodreads? Cry in frustration?!?!?!?
Q8. You do not want anyone. ANYONE. borrowing your books. How do you politely tell people nope when they ask?
Q9. Reading ADD. You’ve picked up and put down 5 books in the last month. How do you get over your reading slump?
