The Book Buying Addiction||❤

Hello there,

It seems like all I write are discussion posts but I'm not a big fan of writing reviews anymore and discussions are my favourite. Today I will be talking about the dreaded book buying addiction. By that I mean prioritising books over e.g. clothes or even snacks sometimes. Yes people, I will not buy my beloved peperamis so I can buy books. (I'm not allowed them but I buy them anyway from  Asda!). It has come to a point where I am buying books because I am feel sorry for myself or I buy books because I'm suddenly on Amazon for no reason. Please comment if you feel the same way.

I never used to buy books that often. I loved using the library, both my local and my school. I wasn't bothered to buy books and I was more interested in bad looking clothes and nail polish. That faze went on up until probably around May/June this year when I decided to stop spending money on crap and start to build my YA book collection. Although it might sound like an excellent thing it has become a complete addiction.

When I'm outside the first place which I rush into is Waterstones, where I proceed to grab as many books as I can. The worst part is the fact that my local Waterstones has a Costa on the second floor, who do the best hot drinks ever, and it just makes me feel so cosy and nice. Cosyness=books=buying books=drinking coffee&reading books. I'm constantly ordering new books with money which I didn't even know I had in my bank account and it has just become a norm to me.

The only reason I am writing this post is because I feel like I'm becoming more materialistic but at least I'm not addicted to buying designer bags!

Keep Reading,

BookTube&Blogging||❤

Hello,

Today I wanted to discuss two things I have experience in. One I have done for over a year and the other for 3 months. As the title does say, I am going to be talking about doing Youtube and doing blogging and the similarities and differences. Before I even start this I would like to say that both of these are equally as hard as each other and both are something I love to do even though they're time consuming!

BLOGGING
Blogging for me, when I started, was a way to express my feelings about books without anyone seeing my face and I was able to hide behind my computer. Even though my old reviews are utter bull crap, I still love them the same. I love how you can express your feelings through the written word and I can easily put my ramblings to size. Blogging for me is a way for me to keep my chill and I love the sound of the tapping of the keyboard keys. The problem for me when I blog is that I sometimes don't know how to put all the jumbled words down to a post because my mind is constantly thinking of new things to write. 

BOOKTUBE
If you might not already now, I have a youtube channel. I didn't really know that a book community existed on YouTube and I have quickly become obsessed. Luckils for me, my sister already has high tech and was easy editing software for me to use when first starting out (Adobe Premier Pro CS6) because she did film studies so I did have help with the technical side for my first video. The hardest thing about doing Youtube is that it is so awkward getting used to the camera and speaking to it without sounding boring or like a robot. 



Similar to  blogging, your first post is always going to be the one which makes you want to claw your eyes out. Both blogging and youtubing takes a very long time to adapt to and the editing of posts/videos is excruciatingly long but ends up being fun and simple after a while. The only downside I would really have for Youtube is the uploading process which takes sooooooo long whereas with my blog, I can easily just post it straight away. That is the thing which I really need to get used to!
