 Hey guys it's Julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video I'm good to be doing my Q&A that was announced a little while ago so you guys asked me questions and I'm here to answer some of them. Everyone who asked me questions and I was starting filming this video for so long so for emotional support I brought my coffee and my po coaster because what else do you need in life? So we're just going to be having a casual video grab a cup of coffee, grab a cup of coffee, grab tea, grab water, grab lemon water, sparkling water, anything. You do you. Let's chat. The Q&A I was wondering what is your first Stephen King book? So my first King book. Who asked this? Matthew. Oh my god I love him. He always comments. For me it was Carrie. I started off with Carrie because I heard about the movie like when I was a bit younger I was researching like the scariest horror films ever and like Carrie popped up and like ooh I want to read the book and this is when I wasn't that into reading so I read Carrie and I like fell in love with it so then I was like you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to start a tradition. So for every book report that I would do I would do a Stephen King book so since I read Carrie I was really into King and then I was like I have a school project coming up and we get to choose our book so I'm going to do the Shining because that movie was also on that list so I did the Shining and then after that I just got into everything else by him and know the tradition did not last in grade nine. I did do Salem's Lot for a project but in grade 10 we weren't allowed to pick our own books so and this year we're not allowed either so they ruined my tradition. Blames the school board. Tamara's asked. Congrats. What a sweetheart. So my questions are what is your favorite band slash musician? I'm not choosing. How did you get into reading? I have a video on it. I love just plugging videos but it's true. I made it. Check it out. I also what is your favorite genre of books or music? I have assumed books. I'm gonna say contemporary is one of my favorites not gonna lie. I also love thrillers and suspense and urban fantasy. Poetry is not really a genre but I do love me some poetry. Your top three favorite books ever? Y'all asked me the hardest questions and I'm like pardon the top my top three favorite books ever excuse me. What's the best thing or place about living in Canada? I just feel safer in Canada like I know there's still shit that happens here but it doesn't seem as troubling as the US plus we don't have Donald Trump so plus I do like that we get four complete seasons. You get a lot of snow. Top three lipsticks. I like this question so I wear some of the same lipsticks in all my videos. By the way look at my mug like pardon me. So one is Daddy by Jeffree Star. It's that brown nude one. Wear it all the time. This one's not it but I wear it all the time. There's a few more um Red Rum by Jeffree Star which is like a bright red. I wear that one sometimes. One right now it's called Backtalk. Well it's not new but it's called Backtalk and it's by Urban Decay. It's a little stick lipstick. I've been loving that. It's usually that pinky nude. I kind of wear my videos usually usually. So yeah thank you for your questions. Oh one more. P.S. sorry for so many cues. It's good girl. I got you. What do you want to do after finishing school? I got a lot of questions like that like I can't even tell you how many of you guys asked me what I want to do in my future. I have always wanted to go into psychology or criminology. That's my plan. It could go south um because I love books. My goal isn't to be an author though. Would it be cool to work in publishing? Yeah but I've never really considered it as a career path for me. I don't know psychology and criminology is what I'm most interested in but like we'll see what happens. What countries do you want to visit? I've always wanted to visit Australia. Since I was we're just kind of the lipstick stains like shown. So since I was like really really small I did all my products on Australia because you know in elementary school when they were like do a project on a place and you're like okay so like I did Australia every single time except for one time I did Finland because I didn't know what it was and I was like I'm gonna do Finland because no one else is doing Finland. But not the point. So Australia I've wanted to go for so long. I also want to go to I want to visit the States more. I mean I've only been to like Buffalo New York or Buffalo. It's like right near like the Niagara Falls border so like it is the US but barely like it's not really in the US. Um I want to go to like Quebec again. It's so beautiful when I went. I also want to visit BC more. That's not a country but I would like to visit BC more. For countries I don't know Australia is a big one. Love to visit the UK. The UK looks gorgeous. I'd love to go there probably London. But yes thank you for your questions. Please what is your lipstick? I need to miss Kova. Oh that one was this back talk by that was back talk the lipstick. I don't know if this was meant for this video but I'm starting now. Are you wearing a loser's club t-shirt? Yes and that video I was. It was my discussion video. It's a it shirt. Pretty cool. What is the last song you listened to which is from Nicole Toley. So the last song I listened to I think was Money by Ethmice and Men. I think I was jamming last night and like bullet journaling and that song came on which is a total bop. By the way it's a remake of Pink Floyd's song Money. So yeah. How's your sleep schedule these days? When I first saw this comment I was laughing because I was like how sweet but not what I expected to see. Um YTSZ asked that. So okay I used to show in like especially my booktube of flan vlogs I'd wake up at like four and be like howdy. So my sleep does kind of suck um it's where I would wake up super super early like I'd go to bed like 11 and then I'd wake up at like two three and then stay up um there's some days where I've gotten zero sleep. It happens every now and then I get no sleep whatsoever and that's because I can't fall asleep and then I just go to school the next day. So like my sleep sucks plus I wake up but I'm trying to get it on track. I'm trying. Thank you man. The book walker. I love him. He's been commenting for like years. Um congrats on non-cajoled. We support you and love that you put okay my questions. What is the book that is out of your comfort zone that you really that you really liked and what's really fairest you and him book? So a book that's out of my comfort zone that I liked probably Vampire Academy. Like one of like the cheesiest books ever but so entertaining and I'm excited to continue with this series. I've read like the first three but yeah I thought that book would be absolute shit which it was actually pretty pretty good. I liked it. Um what is your least favorite favorite Stephen King? Probably Cell. Um I couldn't finish it. I didn't have Cell. I really didn't like the way it was written and it just wasn't my thing. I even unhauled it so it's fine. Ash my buddy Ash. What's the next series you're wanting to start? I have enough series to start at the moment. I need to finish the Raven Cycle like real bad. Um what do I want to start? I need to read replica so I want to start that series I guess even the only one book is out. So we'll go with that replica. I guess even King books have you read? I have no idea. Maybe like 20 at least? I don't know. I've read quite a bit but I haven't read them all so like don't attack me. Thanks. Cues. Top favorite TV shows. Oh my god. So I'm a sucker and I watch the YNR. The Young and the Restless. Your grandparents maybe watch it or you watch it. Do you watch it? Hey um soap opera show. Real good I watch it every day. I watch it five. Well usually I wait till the end of the week and then I catch up with my mom because we like watching it. It's super addicting. Anyways not the point. I love the show. Criminal Minds has been my favorite since I was like 10. I have posters of it on my wall in my room. Criminal Minds has been my everything for so long. Hannibal's one of my all-time favorite shows. Watched it several times. This is so hard because I love adult cartoons too. Like Bob's Burgers, The Simpsons, American Dad, Family Guy, Archer. I also love cat shows. Like My Cat From Hell is my thing. Yes. Booked a movie adaptation. It was pretty good. Fantasy or sci-fi? Recently it's been sci-fi. Fantasy I don't like high fantasy. As much as I try it takes me a while to get into it. I could read it and enjoy it but it just takes so much effort and like most likely I won't really like it that much. But I do like urban fantasy quite a bit and sci-fi I've been getting into more recently. I have been really enjoying some sci-fi books recently so yes. So Vic said how many hours a day would you spend reading a total? I'm just interested because you're such a bookworm. When I was on winter break I got so many questions of why it was reading so much. I didn't have school buddy. I didn't have school. So when I have breaks like that I do read quite a bit because I have more time which I also hate when people say like I don't have time to read. I'll fucking make time. That's not my problem if you can't make time okay? Okay. But spend like maybe an hour before bed 40 minutes and yeah. But there's some nights I used to like come home from school do my work and then dedicate like four three hours and I'd read way late into the night so I've done that before too it's it depends um I don't know. But thank you for your question. Olivia my queen um asked these zombie apocalypse and a zombie's about to attack you. You're able to use whatever is directly in front of you is directly to your right no to your right of the web and you survive. I get to use a keychain so I'd probably die. That's an interesting question. Vera W asked what grade are you in? I am in grade 11. Oh if you're a senior what college you want to go to and what do you want to major in psychology, criminology. Don't know which university there's a college exactly. I have some in mind but I'd rather not share them on the internet. What is your favorite manga series ever? Death Note always takes the prize but Doubt is so good. What's your favorite horror film ever? Shit. The Conjuring's a classic gotta love The Conjuring. I want to watch some of the like the older horror films um which I haven't seen a lot of those older ones. The paranormal activity movies are like such a guilty plunder to me because they're so bad but so fun so I don't know. The Conjuring's good though. Um you're a greater love of knowing you will do a Q&A. Oh I love her Katrina the Bookworm. What a queen. The person has a cat as their eye. That's their profile picture. Love you already. How old are you? 16. I get asked that all the time because apparently I look really really old. Which is fine. Just discovered you. Okay so Abby Ramsey asked just so just discovered you a month or two and her content is questions are. Pinyons on follow boy. Okay so I've listened to some of their music. I wouldn't consider myself a fan. I've just never gotten into it. I've never listened to enough. Some of my friends in elementary school used to love them so I used to like not really want to listen to them because I'm like mm. But yeah I don't really have an opinion. How did your fan react to your decision to start a book class and start a booktube channel? So I did start doing booktube videos. I'm not a booktube video. I was doing beauty videos at first and they were up for it. Um they thought it was interesting. It gave me something to do. It gave me a hobby when I was really young and something that I can do independently and for myself and something that not everyone like around me was doing. Um so they were all around pretty supportive. I've never had any issues with my parents and my youtube channel. They've always been pretty supportive of me and making videos, content, interactions, stuff like that. I get this all the time. Apparently the red copy is kind of rare. Where is it over here? Apparently it's kind of rare. I didn't know that. Um apparently the black one you see all the time. I got it from book outlet. There's like a warehouse kind of looking store in St. Catharines in Ontario, Canada. Uh that's where I got mine. Loyal Lord Oral asked how many hours of reading do you spend in a day? I already said that. How do you balance reading and booktube schoolwork? Um I've talked about this so many times but like I try my best to manage everything and I think it's bullshit when you say I'm too busy for this or I'm too busy for that because prioritize what you want and time management is a big thing. I don't think I'm the best especially right now starting a new semester but kind of trying to get into it more and like I made myself take a step a little bit of a step aside from reading but usually it's just fitting it into your schedule and making time for what you want to do, what you think is important, things like that. I don't know if that helps but yeah. Oh it's Jay. My questions are top five reasons why you love me. You're tall. You're funny. You're obsessed with boys. Just a little. I like your intro. It's my thing and you're what does get started yeah plus you're from Canada so hey and you said you'd make me vegan cookies still waiting for them thanks. Any animal in the world what would you be and why you can't say you're a cat? Well that just ruined it. That ruined it Jay. I'm offended. Um an armadillo. Nothing to say about that just an armadillo. Great. This is an interesting question that I knew I was gonna okay. Do you count manga, graphic novels, and poetry as books? Because when I read them and end up finishing loads of them in a week I don't feel like saying that I've read 10 books when they have five times less word than usual which is inaccurate. I probably shouldn't think about book count etc but it's annoying. Okay I absolutely consider poetry, manga, and graphic novels as books. Some may not agree with me with that but I do count them towards my Goodreads school. I do count them in my wrap-ups because you're still reading and because you don't read a novel doesn't mean you're not reading so I don't know. I've always thought some mangas are big some like a lot of manga they're pretty chunky actually if you get those bind ups but I still think they're still words. You're still following a story. You're still in a different world and you're still learning about someone else so I think that still counts. Poetry especially I still count and I sometimes not gonna lie sometimes I feel really annoying like I feel annoying if I read so much poetry a month but like I love to read it so I'm gonna read it and I'm gonna count it. So Dimard Terres-Dim asked that. He kind of looks cute in his profile picture if that's him. So I used the hashtag SFIRQ on Twitter so let's scroll down to the bottom and see what people asked. Okay same question I ask everyone from Natasha. Oh so I'm everyone Natasha. I see how it is. I'm kidding. If you can marry Stephen King from which decade would you pick? Do Google pick? One picture I like. We're gonna go with this Stephen King. He's looking great here. Shadow Ninja. What a kid. What a nice name. When did you start highlighting and putting notes in your books? A while ago. A long time ago. Like a few years ago actually. Yeah because I was putting yeah years ago. What made you decide to do that over just reading? Because I want to remember things. I want to go back. Also being a reviewer you gotta mark things off that you want to talk about. So it's just important also for schoolwork it's so much easier for assignments and English class to do that. Trust me. Any suggestions for someone who wants to start doing that? I get asked this all the time to make another video about this. I have made a video. I'll link it down below if you guys are interested but buy tabs. Don't buy expensive tabs because you can go to Staples and spend $6 on a pack of tabs. Don't do that. Go to the dollar store. Spend a dollar on a pack of tabs because I go through them so fast and you will too. Any suggestions? Not really. Like you just start doing it. You can come up with color coding systems. You can start just by putting the tabs in that match the cover. So if the book's pink you can put pink tabs in to tab whatever you want. You can color code them. You can put general tabs. Like whatever you want. Do you. Alison asked, have you read V.C. Andrews before? Nope. And I love your cat. Thanks. He's kicked out of the room right now. He's kind of mad but I'm filming which should I leave him but he's been feisty so I don't want him to not get anything over. How do you read so much in a little time or do you dedicate a lot of time to reading? How many hours a day do you read? How often will you finish a book? On a good week. I'll finish a book like every two to three days. That's on a good week. And all those other questions I answered or I have videos for how much I read and how to read more. Link down below. Ask. I might be too late. You're good man. Who is your biggest inspiration? Is there any booktuber you look up to specifically or just someone in general? Kayla or Lala for Books and Lala. I have loved her videos for such a long time. I love her channel and her so much. Recently we've been like I'm in a group chat with her so I kind of fangirled so don't mind me like fangirling over other booktubers. Who else do I admire? Emma Books I do admire as well. Like her story about mental health and then how she's like been through so much and then her channel and how successful it is and just I just really like Emma Books and Peter I look up to as well. I look up to his honesty and how he can just sit down and talk for such a long period of time and just how many people like adore him and it's he's like he deserves everybody who supports him so much. Like he really deserves it. How old are you? 16? Stop asking me that. Ready? Okay I'm trying to start up a booktube channel but I hardly know anyone and I usually only stick with one author. What are your tips for beginner and also on keeping options open for reviews even if they are terrible by the way I love your channel. Okay so I'm going to take a little bit of time to answer Hannah's question. Thank you. And I have some people I've been talking to as well that want to start booktube channels and just I know it's people want to start booktube. Like booktube newbie tags go up like every week, several of them and I got it. I do have to look at more. I do have to look more at that hashtag than I kind of have been because I'm not the hashtag. I do want to look up those videos more and discover new people but I hardly know anyone. Don't worry. Do you think I knew anyone? Like I never knew anyone when I started. For the record I was in the beauty community for a while and everyone I met or talked to was all about subscribers, promotion, shit like that. It was very superficial and I really didn't like that but for booktube I honestly didn't have any friends for a long time. I then met friends and you will see people that will comment on your videos and you comment back on theirs. Don't worry about not making friends. Be you. Do you. Friends will come around but it's not, it's amazing to have friends and I'm grateful for the friends that I've made through booktube but like it didn't just happen. Like I didn't just have them when I started. Definitely not. I was, I had just a few for like years, like a year at least and then I started to make friends and trust me people will like approach you and want to be your friend because they'll be like you seem pretty cool man and then you guys can discuss books and they'll be great. I usually don't stick to one author. Okay read what you want to read and make videos. Don't think about it too much. Get, get your setup, shit, get all your shit set up and just make a video and see what happens from there. It's, you just have to, okay you have to put your foot in the door. So booktube is a door to you and you want to whip it open and jump right in. That might be not what's best for you but at least jam your foot in the door. Stick your foot in the door, make a video, see what happens, do what you want and yeah I don't know what else to say. It's just you gotta do it if you really want to and don't worry about subscribers at first. Don't worry about if people will like you because trust me if you're even the weirdest human ever people are gonna love you. Like just be you. Yeah I don't know what else to say. Trust me I'm an awkward soul. I only read from, I didn't read much variety back then. Well I kind of always read variety but like I don't know what to put it. Read what you want and don't worry about it. Don't worry about a man. You're good. You're not a man but you're good. Very terrible book. Don't be obnoxious and give it a good review because no one will trust you and that's like Peter says, once you lose your dignity you can never get it back. So yeah but just be really truthful when it comes to reviews and stuff like that because it will come back to bite you in the ass if you are dishonest or stuff like that but just rate your books honestly and if you really enjoyed a book feel free to rate books however the how you want but if you read a horrible book but if like if any of you guys read a horrible book and you really hate it but it's a love book on booktube do not be afraid to give it a bad review. I know sometimes it can be really uncomfortable. Trust me I hated fangirl. Everyone loves fangirl but there will and I almost guarantee there will be someone else who hates it too and you'll make a friend out of it. Okay last is from Hugo Cortez thoughts about little peep. Listen to any underground rap? No. I don't listen to rap. I'm glad you enjoy your rap but rap is not my thing and the name is the only exception because that's his old stuff because I used to listen to him when I was a little itty bitty um human and my coffee's cold um but yeah I don't like rap at all and I try to avoid it but you do you man. Do you listen to kpop? No I don't. Some of my friends love it though so I like I know what some of the people look like and like my friends have them as their screensavers and I know a little bit about kpop but I haven't actually listened to any of it. If not could you add and you're acting to some if yes okay okay we're gonna look up some kpop. This scares me. Yes punch. Not bad. Do they have scrimmel kpop? I'm looking out of. See about this one. I don't know. Who's baby medal? No idea. Cancel. Not my thing I don't think but thank you so much to everyone who asked this video it's gonna be super long so I'm trying to get it cut up all my blabbering a lot but thank you guys so much for watching and thank you so much for everything recently. If you enjoyed this video, like this video and comment down below some of your thoughts and I'll see you all super soon with a new video. Bye.
