Rebranding My Channel

Verity Books 2021-05-21 | It's time to ditch my old brand! I'm tired and uninspired by my current cartoonish stars, so I'm taking you along with me while I build a new look from scratch.

Hopefully, this is a brand that I can stick with for a while!

Bonus Fun Fact: I have no formal training in design, but I did work as a professional graphic designer for over a year.

Truth or Dare Book Tag

Verity Books 2021-01-06 | Hello, friends! I hope you as much fun watching this tag as I did doing it!

Be warned: Books are dropped, and spines are cracked

🖤 Jess

PROMPTS -
1. Truth: What is one of your bookish unpopular opinions?
Dare: Do one of your bookish pet peeves (ex: dogear a page, write in a book, crack the spine, etc.)
2. Truth: Who are your favorite booktubers?
Dare: Rearrange one of your shelves and leave it for the remainder of the video.
3. Truth: What are your guilty pleasure reads?
Dare: See how many books you can hold at one time.
4. Truth: You have to delete one of your bookish social media. Which do you pick?
Dare: Explain the entire plot of your favorite book to someone you know (this can be done over video chat if needed.)
5. Truth: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve used as a bookmark?
Dare: Balance a book on your head for 30 seconds. (It’s okay if you can’t, the attempt is all that matters haha.)
6. Truth: If you had to burn one book, which would it be?
Dare: Build a stack of books as tall as you are. This is your new friend. Feel free to name it. Leave it there for the rest of the video.
7. Truth: Grab a book from your shelf. Open it to a random page. Find a question on that page and answer it honestly.
Dare: Write yourself a note and stick it in a book you haven’t read yet. (This can be whatever you want: inspirational, positive, funny, etc.) Now when you read the book, you’ll find the note!
8. Truth: What’s one bookish thing that scares you? (For me, it’s getting “too old” to read YA.)
Dare: Grab a random book and sing a little song about it using the title in the song.
9. Truth: Pick one of your bookshelf decorations and tell us the story or meaning behind it.
Dare: Try to name a book for every letter in the alphabet off the top of your head. Good luck!
10. Truth: What are two characters from different books that you would ship?
Dare: Close your eyes. Grab a random book from your shelf. Try to guess what book it is based on how it feels.
