 Are you ready, Kennedy? I don't think you are. Oh, I'm ready, don't worry. My strategy isn't to win. It's just to make sure Jordan line loses. Honestly, that's like my entire life. I'm like, I don't need to win. I just need to feel the agony of defeat. Gabby, you're going down. Going down? No, I don't know. Oh, God, my bottle of wine. Sorry, mate. I'll be back. You know, honestly, I saw the first episode and I was like, I'm not doing this without a bottle of wine. I'm not sit on my chair so that I'm like fully mobile. And I can like, oh, I've removed my socks. So I won't slip and fall. That is smart. Oh, my God, I'm going to do that too. I watched the last booktuber battle. I'm hoping that it helps me out a little bit. But I'm just trying not to get hurt. That's my goal. I'm old. It is 10 or 3 AM for me. Oh, it's fine because it's what for PM gas, or? This is what you make me do, Megan. 12 booktubers are battling out in pairs in a scavenger hunt. There'll be tasks with finding 10 items and the first in each pair to find one will get a point. This is Booktuber Battle. OK, are you ready for round one? Yeah. Is this a detail for people's screenings? OK, round one is a book you would have read at school. Oh, oh, shit, shit, a classic, a classic. This, this, the shadow of the wind. My god, let's release the phone. Yeah, right. Yeah, I'll take it. My brother actually read this and I never got around to it. I love that Gaby is like so disheveled right now. It was the first question and I'm already, like, in sweat. Yes. Damn it. At school? Perks, Perks, Perks, Perks. Gaby was fast. You're so fast. I've got my bookshelves on both sides. I'm like right there. Oh, my God. Holy crap. The Anzac boys. OK, I got one. I got one. It's The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. I got A Promise Land by Rockalama. I was a political science major. We read lots of memoirs. Yeah, I would have taken it, but Meena was fast. So Meena gets the point. Hold on, you know what? Let me move y'all a little closer. Strategic positioning of the laptop. This is so difficult because we don't have, like, wait. He brings diary. Yeah, Britt got it. I was, like, panicking so much. I get it's done. Oh, no. Oh, no, no. I got where my classics were. Classics, ew. Round two is, you're going to hate me. OK, a food you think your favorite character would like. Awake. Awake. I thought you said an item. Food item. Oh, a food item. A food item. It's not food, it's drink. Right, OK, Megan, one more time. Is it food or is it drink? It's food, not drink. I want you to go get a food that you can justify at your favorite character liking. Oh, the bucket's over. Oh, Jess. Honestly, she was such a little cheap. All right. Just grabbing anything. Pop-tarts, pop-tarts. Who's your, what character would like pop-tarts? Um, so I think, um, Evelyn Hugo, from Evelyn Hugo. I'll take it. I'll take it. Sorry, Mel. Wait, what? Oh, shit, I have to leave. I have to leave the room for this. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Blue Sergeant would love seaweed because, because, because. I'll take it, to be honest. I think, I think I agree. Gabby, you're lucky I have a tiny house. Yeah, I'm lucky. I like my favorite character's loss, but I just, I brought coffee. Um, I don't know if that counts. Technically, it's a drink. My favorite character's fan girl and she like drinks coffee a lot. So, like, I don't know. Oh, my God. I'm going to have to go on a trip to the kitchen, I think. Um, I don't know who my favorite character is. I think, because all the books I read are fun to see. Okay, okay, okay. I've got something. I've got a Musely Bar. I was thinking of Fitz from Assassin's Apprentice. I don't know. I just feel like, you know, whenever they're traveling in a fantasy adventure world, they've got something that's like a Musely Bar in that sort of setting. Like, not a package like this, but you know what I mean? Like, this homemade. I think that's a great justification. I'll take it. Thank you. Oh, my God. Protein powder. Tao is really into muscles and working out. And so he need to get his muscles up. I think he was like protein powder. You got it. You got it. Bro! It's not fair. She lives in an apartment and I live in a house. And I live in a kitchen. We're at one in one, okay? You gotta do what you gotta do. All right. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah. Okay, I have one. Yay! No way. So, what did you have? My reasoning behind it. I guess, like, no one would really know what this is. I'm going to show my camera. Brits will know what this is in the Dutch followers. This is truffel, chocolate, and paper note. And I think that Nina from Six of Crows would absolutely adore these because she loves strobe apples, which is like a Dutch snack. And this has, like, that kind of same cozy vibe. They're like little cookies. You got it. You got it. What? This one is joke. Can it be a drink? A pumpkin- I'm gonna say vodka for ebio-deal. Well, I think Jordan Lowe is actually first, but who likes pumpkin? I would say, you know what? I feel as though Larry Travers probably likes pumpkins because he's a serial killer and he probably, like, likes it because he also likes pigs. I'll accept it. I'm gonna accept it. Round three is a book with flowers on the cover. A book with flowers on the cover. Flowers, flowers. Oh, that's a flowers. Um... Flower? Flowers, I want one. I want one. I'd say yes. Yes, I got it. These are roses, aren't they? Yeah, I don't know who to give them. I feel like... Mel was first, but does that have flowers? Wait, wait! Does that count? I'll take it. Sorry, Gavin. Flowers? Fuck. Oh, God. Flowers, flowers, flowers. Oh, I don't know. I don't know. It is, it is, it is. That's not a flower. Good job! Yes. It's like a wax stamp? Oh, wax stamp. Oh, man. I was, like, looking at it, like, trying to see the flowers. Like, okay, sure. Like, where is that? So, Gavin gets that round. I feel like I've just read something with this. Thread needles. I don't know if you can see this, the lady of, like, little raisins. That's so pretty, actually. Like, a lot of it. Yeah. Um, I got it. The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren. That was quick! Yeah, there's flowers on it. Okay, this is un-late, but I listened to Invincius by Victoria Lee. Okay! Oh! I follow because I need to look at that cover. I immediately had to think of it. Yeah, no. Bitch, didn't I? I own that book. It's literally right there. God, I literally have it right there. It's on a freaking spine. It's only fine. I'm not bitter. Round four. This one requires a bit of thought, a bit of interpretation, okay? Round four is something to help you read faster. Oh! Huh? What? Me? Um, can I help you read faster? Can you get music on my phone? Yeah, I'll take that one. That, I'll take that one. Sorry, Gavin. Something helped me read faster. Did an audio book help? A bookmark. And I told you I had to read faster and I just held this and I moved it down the page and it made you read faster. I don't know who to give that to because I feel like an audiobook works and a bookmark, but technically you have to show me it. Yeah, I didn't pull it out for us enough. So Kayla gets the point. We are neck and neck. We are neck and neck. Okay. Oh! Bookmark. I'm like underlining it. I was gonna say am I allowed to choose my phone? Yeah, you, I would have given the phone but Nicole was fast, but I would have given the phone. My AirPods, audio books always help me read faster. Yes! You get it. Well, that's it, because I don't even have an answer, so she got that one. Um, um, where's the music in? And like, I don't hear any noise around me. Yeah. Literally next to me on my, on my dining table here and I just ran through my entire living room. Hmm, why? Because of audio books. Yes, I'll take it. Yes, yes, audio books. I'll take the crown. Look at it. Round five is a book published before you started your YouTube channel. Oh. When did I start it? Fire and Blood. Yeah, that was fast. You know what, I thought standing up and grabbing stuff would be better for me, but obviously no, I'm gonna go sit down. Bye. See, that's, that's my profession, my profession. I'm a professional sitting downer. Well, I'm gonna try it. It's the setting tourism in me. I'm a professional as it is. I wanna say that works. I feel like, I feel like Gavin, I just, he looks funny saying that like far away. He is so far away now. Oh, published before. Shoot. Published before. Yes, that counts. I just knocked my whole life onto the floor. Oh, easy. Got it. Crown of Midnight. Katie was fast. This is like the 90s. I left Nicole going, oh, easy. And then Katie was fast. I'm so into the word. What are you doing? Now it's by John Gwynne. God, damn it. Published. Oh my God. It was published in 2013. I started my YouTube channel in 2019. It's not this. I was gonna pick the name of the wind, but I forgot that it was like right behind me. So. Um, um, oh my God. It's great, great. Yep. Did it already get one? Okay. Okay, that one is, I mean, come on. Misery by Stephen King. Oh, fuck you. Round six is a good one. Something you would take with you to go book shopping. Oh, oh, oh, shit. Oh, oh, it's torn, it's torn, it's torn, it's torn. Yep. Gavin's first. Hi. How a tot, too. Mount's better. Although, yeah. Maybe not for Meg, but it is for me. Oh my God. Don't make me sad. My carry. Yeah, Kayla was first. Sorry, Gabby. God damn. My glasses. Just like, I can't see without them. Bye, bye, bye. Yeah, I'll take it. I'm gonna take my bag with me because this is where the money resides. Bro. At this point, I was going book shopping, I would take a tote bag, but the tote bag is like two floors up, so. But also your camera, your phone is right there because you're gonna take your phone to film your little clips and stuff. True. You got that right there. True. See? I think it's in a way that works for this game. Yeah. I'm not even on her level at this point. I hate to see it. Okay, I need to grab my tote bag. A tote bag. Sabine being first, Sabine was first. My book journal, where I write down all the books that I wanna buy and that I need for my new TBR. It is, this is a hard one. I'm sorry, this is hard. A book with all the letters of your first name in the title. I have so many left. Then, no, no, it doesn't have a then. Oh my God. What has a then? M-E. What has a then? I need something with a then. Give me a then. Okay, the strange case of the alchemist's daughter by Theodore Régas. Damn it. I just got Actu-A-G-Bram because it has a then. Damn it, it doesn't have an I. I will. And actually, Tally, I have it. It has an I in the author name. Does that count? Yeah, it would have counted, but Mel was first. Okay, and I also have one of Meg's favorite books, so I'm sorry, I win. Yeah, sorry, you wouldn't show away with that, so. No, fuck. There's nothing with Gs ever. G, G, Gs. Um, okay, I need like long titles then, at least. K. Why did none of the Ks have A's? There's like literally nothing. Okay, wait, this G, A. Oh, there's no Bs. Meg, my head is empty. Oh my God. Why? Yes. God, what? Oh my God, Gabby got it. Oh thank God, I don't have to look anymore. All the letters are your first name. Yeah, I'm gonna use Katie rather than Catherine. Am I allowed alternative spellings of Katie? That sounds like cheating. I've got more letters than you. I've got one. It's got to be on the stem, so it's got a K, an A, a T, and a Y. Oh my God. My most current read, Oakbringer by Brandon Sanderson. My name is Erin, so we've got an A in Brandon and A in Sanderson. R in Sanderson, O in in Sanderson. You got it. Bro, what the fuck? Are you kidding? No, it's a rig at this point. I can't even think of a book. You gotta use the author name and the title together. So you need something with two A's. The blade itself, I feel like it has two A's in it and Joe Abercrombie. There's no N. There's no N. And the blade itself, the wisdom of crowds, the trouble with peace, best serve, I ain't no N for real. Wow, that's crazy. This is really sad. Like it's bad for me at this point. Like I lost, really over. Okay. Oh my God. Okay, wait. Okay, this one's gonna take a while. I have it for a while. Oh my God, this is crazy. B-R-I-T. There's like one T, is that okay? But I have two T's. Or do I need to have two T's? I think I'll take it. I think that's fine. I'm sad. I didn't even get to think about this and Bro was already like, I got it girl. Oh fuck me. Oh God, Jordan Align, that's gonna suck for you. Technically my name is Jordan. So I'm gonna go with that. Oh, I thought you already had one. I was like, go fuck yourself. No, it's gonna be impossible to find something with a fucking J. Everybody's gonna be screaming like, Katie, there's one right there. If I can include the author's name in it, then Vanita Sugar Sky by Sean McGuire. Damn it. Some bullshit. Some bullshit. Round eight is another one that requires a bit of interpretation. Round eight is a reading companion. Oh, I was gonna bring my dog, but that's too much work. Oh, I've been coming, well I just, I wanna move. What is that? What is that? It's a moon that lights up. Hang on, I'll get it to light up somehow. It comes on. I don't know who to give it to because Technique Gavin was, I'll give it to Gavin. Yeah, give it to Gavin. Yeah. Just a pity point for him, it's fine. Like, squeeze me? Companion? Um, my reading journal count? Like a bookmark? Yeah, I'll take a reading journal from Gaby. Oh, better answer. Oh, easy. Archie. This is a loose interpretation, amazing. Because I don't know where she actually is. Who is my cat, by the way? I don't know who to accept there. I don't know who to give the point to because technically I didn't see Nicole's. You can give it to Katie, I'll be nice. Are you sure? Yeah, I'm still gonna win this. Blanket. My reading companion is my bookmark. I used to do this every single time I read. Oh, I would have taken it, but Aaron was first. I'm so sorry. See, no, because Erin set me up because she was like, I'm so old and feeble and broken. And then she's a whole speed racer. How do you do it? I took my arthritis medicine before we got started, okay? And I'm squatting, so I'm gonna regret this later. Oh. Okay, I'm in a little, little airbag. No, we did have the same like train of thought. A reading companion. Oh, oh, oh, can vodka count? Scrawl. Oh, nice. I don't know if I was with them. Okay, so do something different? Yeah, both of you do something different because I can't decide. I kind of like, let's self-insert a photo of me that's on my bookshelf watching me read. How is that a reading companion? And it's a teddy bear. A teddy bear is one. A picture of yourself. Listen, I love myself and I'm not here to be ashamed about it. Round nine is a book that matches your outfit right now. Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue. Blue. That looks fun. Stripes, flowers, stripes, flowers, stripes, flowers. What? I'm just wearing a pink sweatshirt. Stripes and flowers. Why did I have to wear this stupid outfit? I don't know if this counts, but I'm just gonna go with Simon. Yeah, I'll take it, I think. I mean, can we say this? I'll take this one. Then colour-wise, I show it to me closer, Nicole, because you wear first. I, yeah, I think I'll take it because it's green-black. Yeah, I would give you that. Such a darkness by Scarlett Sainz-Claire. It's black and purple. No! Shirts. Yeah, and a bit of green, I'll take it. Anyways. Okay. Ooh, okay. Oh God, I don't have a lot of green books. This one, look at the colour scheme. Oh my God, you're Atlas 6. No, Jordan Lane was first. Oh. It's kind of like, it's kind of beige-y, which you can't really see. It's kind of beige-y, it's got like black and red. Bitch, this fits probably. Now, this one is probably the hardest round I've ever done this last round. You're gonna hate me, but the last round is go away and dress up as a book character. What? Gavin has this so easy, he does this for a living. Are you kidding me? Bye. Oh crap, I don't have my costume. No, I do. I do have my costumes. Oh my God. But do I have my book costumes? That's the question. Oh. Oh my gosh. I don't have my book. Oh no. Um, oh wait, no I do. Oh, this is gonna... Oh, it doesn't matter. I need to win. Okay, I can't even say me. Hi. Uh, I don't want to spoil it. This is gonna be spoilers. Uh, there's 13 in here just though. Okay, I got Animates Chains from Gabbabla for Percy Jackson. Yes. This is what I do to win around with a costume. I've got them in this one. Oh, no. Crap, I wish I hadn't of ear that pop top earlier on. I'm glad these $40 were well spent. And if they think this is a movie character, there is a book. I realize he's taking his time. He's doing this on purpose. I don't know who he's gonna come back as, but... I don't like this. Yeah, we go. I'm so gonna fall down these stairs. I love or hate you. Don't worry. You mean it, Lauren. If you want the book, I've got the book. If you think this is just a movie character, crop where is the book? It is a book character. Oh, my God, I love it. Did I win? I took ages to put on because I was putting it on upside down. I want you to give this point to Gavin. Like, mine is so basic. What is your costume? I'm Annabeth Chains from Percy Jackson. If Mel is up for it, I will donate. I'll give you the point, Gavin. Yes, I'm donating the point because this is... I'm not even blonde. Pack up. Dress up. Oh, my God. What? Dress up as a book character. Okay, who? I literally said before I started this that if I have to go put, if I have to go into my TBR closet, I'm gonna be pissed. I'm wearing jeans. I'll take it. I'm Timmy from the sisterhood of the traveling pants. Oh, okay. Oh, my God, where's my dress up box? Can we hold off an outfit without putting it on? Yeah, or just shove it over what you're wearing right now. Who am I gonna be? Who wears a green dress? I got this. Selena. I don't think I'm anyone else. I'm the third of glass, folks. Is that what she actually dresses like? I'm like, I've never read it. Oh, oh, I've got wings. Yeah, I'll take it. You've given us two outfits there. What? Y'all, I don't have no clothes. Who are we gonna be? No, what is this? Oh, my God. Who am I gonna be? Okay, so I'm gonna put on some heels. Oh, my God, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm Joe from you. I'm Joe from you. I'm gonna be one of these romance garlies on a date. But okay, we're not there, that's fine. I finally won. Hooray. Okay, I'm gonna dress up as Daisy Jones one second. I have something here. I have something here. I'm gonna put this dress over my clothes right now. I'm gonna lose. Fuck. I'm just inside. Are you freaking kidding me? I'm a wizard, I'm a wizard. Stop the wizard. That's a good one. I was struggling trying to find the opening of this Daisy Jones-ish 70s dress. Wow, wait, did you just pull that on so quickly? Yeah, over my outfit. You were so ugly. You both, you're both good, but Sabine gets the point. Oh no. What? What am I doing? What am I doing and where am I going? Bitch, bitch, bitch. I'm Wednesday, motherfucking. I'm gonna dress. I like smashed my own wig, but I'm Wednesday fucking Adams. Oh, we're matching. Girl, put it on. How fucking cute. I'm Morticia and you're Wednesday. You know what's gonna happen? Megan's gonna turn her camera back on when she's not recording and she's gonna be dressed as Pugsley Adams. I'm gonna be the whole Adam family. I had six and Gavin had four, so Mal won. You know what? I'm okay with that. Yeah, I think that's a premise-y stuff. I was just gonna say, because Mal deserved it because she tried the hardest, but no. It is actually a draw with both of you having five points. Shut up! What? Nicole wins with six and Katie had four. So Nicole won. Aaron wins with seven and Mina had three. That feels good if I had to literally win something, you know? I will sit up. Brett wins with six points and Sabine had four. So it was close. It's not as if I had one point. That would be a shame. It's due to line with five and a half. I literally was like, I'm lose. As a cancer, I am not surprised that you won and I'm happy for you. Honestly, like, I mean, I should have known. Like, look how adorable I am. I'm so fucking cute and gorgeous. How would I know it? So that was Booktuber Battle episode two. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
