The Book Blogger Newbie Tag!!!!

Hi everyone! I just would like to mention that this is my second blog post in a week! Somebody write that down because that is a record for me! So today's blog post is a bit different than usual, but I want to do a lot more of these in the future. Today I am doing a tag! This is my very first tag and I thought it would be very fitting for it to be a tag for newbies! This is actually called the Booktube Newbie Tag and it is from youtube, but I figured I could do it here too. Why not? I saw my friend Cassie from Cassiebooks (subscribe to her because she's awesome!) do this I thought "What a fun set of questions!". I also saw Bunny's Book Corner and Alex Hayton  do this tag and really liked their videos. This tag was created by Brenda C. So without further ado, here are the questions:

1. Why did you start this blog (originally channel, but we're changing it up a bit for our purpose)? I actually never thought of starting a blog until I had to for a class in school. We had to talk about certain chapters in a book. I started this blog with the intention eventually deleting the assignment posts and having this be a place for me to review and talk about about books.

2. What are some fun and unique things you can bring to Booktube (Again, I'm going to be talking about Blogger)? Nothing. I am boring and completely ordinary. Next question... JUST KIDDING! In all seriousness, I have no idea. I would like to eventually be an author, as that has been my dream job since I was six, and so I thought maybe I could show some of poems or short stories here. But I'm not too sure about that, especially because I hope to be anonymous here for the near future (and I don't want anyone to take credit for my creativity). But who knows, maybe I will show you guys some of my writing  here in the future.Or maybe I can write on my opinions and experiences here, maybe someone can relate to or enjoy what I have to say.

3.  What are you most excited for about this new channel (ahem... blog)? I am really excited to be able to interact with people that have similar interest to me. And to share my thoughts and words with others; the fact that people are talking time out of their days to read something that an ordinary person like me wrote is really exciting.

4. Why do you love reading? Finally, a question I didn't have to change! And what a good question it is, where do I possibly start? One thing I love is that as soon as I start reading, I am no longer an average, ordinary girl, but I am Katniss Everdean. Or Harry Potter. Or a girl falling in love with the funny and oh-so charming Augustus Waters (but let's face it, even that average, ordinary girl was falling in love with Augustus Waters. I mean, who could resist his charm?). I am on an adventure, and learning new life lessons and am just in another world (not that I live in a terrible world or anything, but it is still nice to escape). And I also love how I get to see different scenarios from other, and sometimes completely different, perspectives. To me it is incredible how powerful a story can be, and there are just so many other things I love about reading that I can't even explain. Somebody told me that people who read live a thousand lives, while people who don't only live one (Which is why at the top of the my blog it says "Living a Thousand Lives..."). That is so true.

5. What book or book series got you into reading? Even before I could read, my parents would read to me so I always loved books. There were two book series that I especially loved. One of them was Amelia Bedelia, and I don't actually remember the name of the second one, but it was about an old man who had a orange tabby cat and his spunkier female neighbor who had a bulldog. And they went on what I thought were crazy adventures, but really they were just riding trains, and giving each other Christmas gifts, and other wild things like that. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and remembers what that series is called please leave it in the comments below, because I loved them and I bet I still would. Update! So after a bit of research I found out that my favorite children's boo series that I was just talking about is called Mr. Putter and Tabby

6. What questions would you ask your favorite booktuber? One of my favorite booktubers is polandbananasbooks and I would ask her to answer the last two questions I just answered.

7. What challenges do you think starting a booktube channel (blog) will be the hardest to overcome? If you have been following my blog posts so far, then you would know that I have a big issue with posting regularly, so I would say uploading constantly might be difficult to overcome.

So that's it! I hope you enjoyed reading this, make sure to check out the booktubers I mentioned above because they are all so great! What booktubers or book bloggers do you like to watch or read?
