Top 5...#8

Hello there internet! Today i'm here with another of my Top 5's, this time i'm going on over to the BookTube community and discussing the Top 5 BookTubers i have loved watching during 2013!

Now i love a lot of the people in the BookTube community and it has been really hard to narrow it down to five, but i did it! So, if you haven't already, go and check out all these wonderful people!

5 - Jesse (jessethereader)

Okay so i've gone back to try and find exactly when i started watching Jesse's videos and i'm pretty sure this video was the first one of his i watched, and then i immediately subscribed. I love Jesse's videos and i think he seems like one of the nicest guys in the world. His videos put a smile on my face and he has an awesome taste in books! 

4 - Raeleen (padfootandprongs07)

So this is the first video of Raeleen's i ever watched, and that was back at the end of 2011...i so didn't think it was that long ago! But i love Raeleen's channel. Her reviews are great, her tags are great, she's just great really. I'm pretty sure she was the first person from BookTube that i ever watched, and i'm still watching her videos 2 years later, so clearly she's one of the best ones!

3 - Catriona (LittleBookOwl)

Catriona is probably one of my favourite people on YouTube in general. Her videos are funny and she seems really awesome and  she has a great taste in books, which is always a good thing! She genuinely seems like one of the nicest people and i just love watching her videos because she seems so lovely. I honestly cannot remember when i started watching her videos, or what the first one was, but they're all great so you should definitely check her out!

2 - Ben (benjaminoftomes)

Okay i'm pretty sure Ben is the only English BookTuber i watch? And he's great! (wow how many times can i say great in one post?) Ben makes me laugh in basically every video he posts and i really love that. He's probably also the BookTuber i think has the most similar taste in books..? Maybe? Either way he likes really great books, and he makes really great videos and subscribing to him was one of the best things i did YouTube wise in 2013!

1 - Ariel (Ariel Bissett )

Ariel is not only my favourite BookTuber, she is also just my favourite person on the whole of YouTube and the internet in general. I adore all of her videos. She makes me laugh, and she makes me think about things, she makes me want to read books i wouldn't normally read, and her videos just generally make me happy. I started watching her videos from, i think, the third video she put up on her channel? (I know she had a channel before, but i'm not 100% on what that was called...) But i found her on 'Ariel Bissett' and i've just loved her and her videos ever since!


So there we go! My top 5 BookTubers of 2013! I can't wait to see more from them and the rest of the wonderful BookTubers that i watch in 2014, and i hope you all have a wonderful New Years!

Love it or Hate it TAG

Time for another tag :D this one was created by the amazing Raeleen ( http://www.youtube.com/padfootandprongs07 ). 

1. Top 3 favourite books?
The Catcher in the Rye
13 reasons why
A Clockwork Orange

2. Top 3 least favourite books?
The Great Gatsby
Juno and the Paycock
The Book Thief

3. Top 3 favourite characters? 
Draco Malfoy
Jace Wayland
Percy Jackson

4. Top 3 least favourite characters?
Bella Swan
Jacob Black
Hodge (TMI)

5. Biggest let-down?
The Book Thief, I've only ever heard good things about this book and I just didn't really enjoy it. Maybe I should read it again and try to love it?

6. Books you liked that everyone else hated?
Lord of the Flies. Everyone I know hates this book and it's probably one of my favourites. 

7. Characters people love that you hated?
Gale. I really didn't like him and everyone I know loves him and wanted him to end up with Katniss and I just didn't like him all that much. 

8. Characters people hate that you loved?
Peeta. I don't really know that many people (out of my friends) who liked him, and he's probably one of my favourite characters in the series. 

9. Best quotes?
Basically anything Sirius Black says.

10. Worst quotes?
Twilight. Especially the whole lion/lamb thing.

11. Books you didn't finish?
The only one I can think of right now is The Casual Vacancy, I will finish it eventually but I wasn't really into it.

12. What book have you read the most times?
Either Deathly Hallows or The Catcher in the Rye. I read both of them about 3 times a year. 

13. Series where the first book was amazing but they went down hill from there?
The power of five series by Anthony Horowitz. I really loved the first two books, but after that they didn't really hold my interest as much as the first two did.
