Sorry I couldn't whittle mine down to one person for each question!Questions:1. You’re stuck on a deserted island and can only bring one booktuber bud, but ALL their books would come with them - who do you want to be stuck with? 2. You accidentally rob a bookstore with a booktuber bud by walking out with 100 books. You spend a year behind bars with them, BUT now you can read and do videos together. Who do you get locked up with?3. You magically get trapped in a murder mystery you are reading. Another booktuber bud joins you to solve the mystery! – Who do you want to join you? 4. You magically get trapped in a fantasy novel fighting dragons and casting spells. Which booktuber bud do you choose to bring in with you to save the day? 5. You are stuck in the cloud of sadness, hitting a reading funk, and feeling totally uninspired. Which booktuber bud can pick you up with their positivity? 6. Your arms are in cast for two months and a booktuber bud is going to edit all your videos for you. - Who edits them and why?7. You press a button and instantly have read ALL the books that a booktuber bud has already read. - Which bud would you pick and why? And my answers:1.
