Confession: I am a Youtube Addict

  It's time to stage an intervention. My family and friends are concerned. I must confess...I am addicted to Youtube. I have delved into the murky depths of online video and I am struggling to stay afloat. In order to help me with my addiction, I figured I might share some of my favorite channels with you!

VLOGBROTHERS
My addiction started around Christmas of 2013. My friend said "Hey, you like John Green, right? I want to show you vlogbrothers." She showed me the hilarity that was Brotherhood 2.0, and I was hooked. John Green, author of the best selling novel and motion picture The Fault in our Stars, shares a youtube channel with his brother, Hank Green. The two brothers are so funny, quirky, and smart. I am in love with the two of them and their channel. They have an amazing community called Nerdfiteria that I am so proud to be a part of. They've created charities such as The Foundation to Decrease World Suck and the Project for Awesome campaign. They also created VIDCON!!!!! I could go on and on about them for days, but instead I'll put a link to their channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/vlogbrothers

DAN AND PHIL
  Currently, my favorite youtubers are Dan and Phil of danisnotonfire and amazingphil. They are British vloggers in their twenties who make videos and have a BBC radio show. I am so in love with both of them that I cannot even begin to describe it. If you like funny jokes, British accents, and existential crisises, then you should definitely check them out. They have famous Q and A's called Philisnotonfire that I've watched probably 20 times each, but one of my favorite videos is their photobooth challenge video. 

JENNA MARBLES AND TYLER OAKLEY
  If you don't know who the above people are, DO YOU EVEN INTERNET?! They are literally the king and queen of the internet. With Jenna's space hooker hair and Tyler's pastel quiff, they rule all the lands of youtube. Probably some of most viewed people on the whole site, Jenna and Tyler make vlogs and sketch videos that are pure gold. I put some of my favorite videos from each of them below.



IISUPERWOMANII
  This girl. Oh my god. She is one of the funniest people I have watched on the internet ever. Lilly Singh is one of the few Indian vloggers on Youtube, and she is hilarious. Lilly makes sketch videos about people and social media that are so relatable. She keeps it real. She is so inspiring to girls and I love her so much #TEAMSUPER!!! You can find one of my personal favs of her videos right below. 

RHETT AND LINK
  Rhett and Link are a duo like the vlogbrothers that make funny music videos and have a daily show called Good Mythical Morning that I watch every weekday. I love starting my day off with a small dose of this hilarious duo. I am absolutely in love with some of their music videos (I'll put a link to my favorite below). A friend introduced me to them, and ever since then, I've watched their daily videos and loved every minute. 



OTHERS
  Some of the other classic vloggers I enjoy are below with links to their channels.

BOOKTUBERS!!!
  There is a whole other side to Youtube that I love besides vloggers. It's called BOOKTUBE. In a previous post, I mentioned a booktuber named Christine of polandbananasbooks, and she is probably my favorite. I agree with almost all her opinions, and she makes reviews just like I do! She's hilarious and so enthusiastic about books, which is something I can relate to. 
  Christine lives with another booktuber named Kat of Katytastic and I also really like her. She and Christine have a hilarious video together where they play a "Guess the Character" game that my friends and I absolutely love! We play it all the time! 

Some other booktubers to check out are Jesse of jessethereader, Ariel of ArielBissett, and Cassidy of CassJayTuck.

The End
Well, there you have it! These are some of my favorite youtubers, but there are so many more! If you haven't already, please check them out as they are all amazing. I'll be back with book related news soon, but for now, keep on reading!

Which YA Book Should You Read Next Based on Your Myers-Briggs Type?

Image
As quarantine rolls on, we all have to find things to occupy our time. I love to learn new, weird things, so given as excess of time, I will most assuredly develop a few new obsessions. One such new obsession is MBTI, or the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. The Myers Briggs test is a personality test that assigns you one of two letters for four different categories, making it possible to have sixteen unique “types.” The letter options are as follows: Extroverted vs Introverted, iNtuition vs Sensing, Thinking vs Feeling, and Judging vs Perceiving. Your type, or combination of these letters, is determined based on your answers to a number of questions that ask  for your level of agreement/disagreement with various statements. Since MBTI is the most accurate personality test I’ve ever taken (and I’ve taken a lot ), I thought it would be a useful tool for personalizing some book recommendations!             I am certainly not the first have this idea, but I wanted to make MBTI-based recomme

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard Book 1: The Sword of Summer

Image
   The time has come for a new era of Riordan. The first book in a Norse mythology series has been released, and wow did it impress me! It was exactly what I expected and nothing like I expected at the same time. Rick Riordan, you've done it again. You've woven a beautiful tale from the legends of generations passed. I simply cannot express how much I loved this book without revealing too much, so please, I beg you, pick up a copy of The Sword of Summer. *****SPOILERS*****     This book surprised me in so many ways. In a way, I was expecting another series starter like The Lightning Thief , but this....I don't want to say better because TLT will always have a special place in my heart, but in a way, it was. I've been saying for years, that Heroes of Olympus would make an amazing YA series if Riordan added cursing, slightly more gore, and more romance. Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard is fulfilling my dream. I struggled throughout the book, trying to establish w

Let's Reread The Mortal Instruments

Image
Obvious spoilers for TMI but warnings are before any spoilers for other Cassie series I first picked up City of Bones by Cassandra Clare at the beach the summer before 7 th grade. I’d only recently made friends I actually liked at school and I hadn’t even had my first period. But my middle school self found comfort in the shadow world, a name that aptly described her level of self-proclaimed angst. She lost herself in Clary and Jace and Simon and Izzy and Alec and Magnus in a way she hadn’t since the days of reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson for the first time. I just graduated high school, so that was over six years ago . Cassandra Clare’s books have meant a lot to me in all the years since, but I rarely found myself turning to The Mortal Instruments, the series that started it all. Reading The Dark Artifices as they came out filled my school breaks with laughter and tears, while rereading The Infernal Devices helped me get through periods of tears in my own
