J: Hi! I have a friend today!
P: Hi! I'm the friend!
J: Yep, she is the friend.
P: I am Pip, from Pip Reads.
J: So we're.. we're hanging out on our friend date, and we're gonna
do some tags! Just, cause what else do you do when you get together with new
booktubers, other than do tag videos? So we're gonna do the Rapid Fire Book
Tag today on my channel, and we've done another tag over on Pip's channel, so
check that out as well, if you want, you know, like double the tag fun! P: Oh yeah!
J: But I'm gonna start asking some questions, and we're both gonna answer them, and we're
gonna get contentious.
P: Yes! J: Maybe!
P: Oh I hope so! It's more fun! J: Yeah.
J: Alright, let's start off.
Q: Ebook or physical book?
P: Ebook for convenience, physical book for taking notes.
J: Yeah, physical book would be my first pref.
P: Although audiobooks over all of them.
J: *whispers* That's later! P: Oh no.
J: You've ruined the question! P: I've ruined the question! I'm a terrible friend!
J: Friendship revoked!
Q: Paperback or hardback?
J: I'm gonna be hella contentious, and say hardback. I know most people prefer paperbacks cause they're
more convenient, but I love hardbacks. P: I do like hardbacks, yeah, they're so durable!
Q: Online or in-store shopping?
J: In-store for me, because I like the vibes.
P: I love the vibes but I'd rarely buy things in store.
P: I usually buy from online.
J: I don't often mean to buy books, which is why I don't buy them online!
Q: Trilogies or series?
J: I'd probably say trilogies if I had to, cause I like to know you that I'm not gonna be, like, left in the lurch.
P: Also series can like, they can go on a bit. And they can go on tangents that you're not really ready for, and you're like 'mmmm, no.'
J: *whispers* Game of Thrones P: Game of Thrones!
P: You're like 'Where are you going?! Come back!'
J: 'Stahp! Please don't die!'
P: 'Stop killing everyone!'
Q: Heroes or villains?
P: I do like heroes.. villains are more interesting though.
J: I don't like either... P: Can they just be, like, underdogs?
J: I just like... I just like people.
P: People?
J: I guess if I had to choose, I'd say villains, because they tend to have more complex characters.
P: That's so true. J: Heroes are boring.
P: Heroes are just like 'You killed my mum, prepare to die.'
Q: What's a book you want everyone to read?
P: Panic! Panic! So much panic.
J: The Handmaid's Tale.
P: The Descent of Man by Grayson Perry.
J: Astrophysics For People In A Hurry. P: Ooh yes!
P: Oh yeah! Ooh Gut?Have you read Gut? J: No. P: You've gonna read Gut. It's so good, like,
it talks about poop. So, like, just be aware of that, but it's so informative.
J: It's alright I'm all there for poop.
P: Yeah poop... poop's a thing.
J: Everyone poops!
P: EVERYONE POOPS!
J: Everybody Poops In My Pants!
P: *laughs* In your pants specifically?!
Q: Alright, what is an underrated book?
P: I feel like Sarah Moss is not a popular author
here in Australia, and I really am clueless as to why. She's amazing.
J: No books are entering into my brain right now...
P: Some books?
J: No books. P:No books?!
J: I'll come back to it. If I think of it I'll slice it in.
P: Okay. J: It'll be great. You will never know!
P: You will never know! J: The No. One Ladies Detective Agency!
J: I knew Goodreads would come to my rescue!
P: I know that... what's that.. something like.. that's umm..?
J: So The No. One Ladies Detective Agency is by Alexander McCall Smith. P: Yes!
J: And it's about the Botswanan lady detective. P: Amazing!
J: It's a series, and not enough people know it, because it will...
it will warm your heart, and it will fill you with joy.
So like, more people need to read, to get those, like, good lady vibes in their life.
P: I need some good lady vibes.
J: Yeah, definitely should read it.
Q: What's the last book you finished?
P: Goodreads... Goodreads help me! Help me! (Help me!) What did I last finish??
J: Mine is The Name of The Wind.
P: The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane. It was all about pu'er tea, from China. J: Oooh interesting!
P: Yeah! Which is apparently it's all the rage right now.
Q: The last book that you bought.
P: I haven't bought books in a while.
J: Neither. The last book that I know that I bought is The Book of Dust by Philip Pullman.
P: Oh! I got this one recently. J: Ooh pretty! P: Yeah! Yeah it's really cool.
Q: Weirdest thing that you've used as a bookmark.
P: I don't normally use bookmarks, I'm not a bookmarks person. I'm either a
page folder (heaven forbid) or I remember the number.
J: I think I've used teacups. If I'm just going to do something quickly,
I'll, like, sit my cup of tea on the book to hold it there.
Q: Used books, yay or nay?
P: Oh, yay! J: So much yay.
P: So much yay. J: Like, why would you not want to save you that money.
Q: Three favourite genres.
P: I do tend to gravitate towards fantasy a lot... historical fiction as well... non fiction? Gender fiction?
P: What about you? J: fantasy, historical fiction, and literary fiction.
P: Yeah, I thought you would totally go classics.
P: We are the same! J: We are! P: We are the same, I like this!
Q: Borrow or buy?
P: Oh, borrow! 100% man! What if it's crap?
J: Oh man. Buy. Like I know that I need to borrow for the sake of the money thing...
J: But I just... I need to be able to write in it as I go.
P: Ahh. When I first got into BookTube, I just bought all the books that everyone was recommending,
and so many of them were trash that I was like... 'no.'
J: I know! But I still keep them! P: Oh really?? Nooo.
J: I'm okay with it though! I don't mind! P: No! I'm just like... 'get them out!'
J: I'll lend it to someone if they wanna read it! It's okay! It'll be okay!
Q: Characters or plot?
P: I mean, I would like to say characters, but if nothing's happening then I do kind of get a little bit annoyed.
J: I would probably actually say characters. I'm gonna say that on the basis of the fact that.. I'm okay with
books where nothing really happens. I will still enjoy them.
So I'm guessing that means that the characters are slightly more important.
P: I feel like you can't really have one without the other though.
J: Yeah it is hard.
Q: Long or short books?
P: Yeah.. I... it depends what I'm in the mood for.
J: It really does.
Q: Long or short chapters?
J: Short chapters really annoy me. Like, one page chapters I'm just like.. 'why.. why even bother?'
P: I feel like I've been listening to so many audiobooks that chapters and meaningless to me!
Q: First three books that you think of.
J: Emma. The Name of The Wind. The Buried Giant. Obviously they're like my three most recent reads.
P: The Handmaid's Tale. Little Fires Everywhere...
P: Oh shoot. It's on the tip of my tongue.
J: It doesn't count if you can't think of it!
P: I know! I know! I have to think of a different one now..
P: Okay, uhhh. We'll go with... Arcadia.
J: She cheated. P: I so cheated!
Q: Books that make you laugh, or books that make you cry?
J: All books make me cry.
P: Yeah, I'm such a crier!
J: I'm such a crier!
P: Like I'm so weak!
J: I'm just a weepy person.
P: I am too! I am too!
J: Yeah, I'm gonna say books that make me laugh because they're more of a rarity.
J: Cause all books make me cry, there's nothing special about that.
P: Yeah me too!
Q: Our world or fictional world?
P: I like halfway between.
J: I was about to say that! P: Yeah!
J: I like fictional worlds that are based on our world. P: Yeah!
Q: Audiobooks?
P: Yes. Absolutely.
J: Also yes. So much yes.
Q: Do you judge a book by it's cover?
P: Yes that's the point. J: So much yes.
P: If they weren't to be judged, they would have no cover. J: They would all be the same.
J: They'd be like the standardised cigarette packaging. P: Exactly!
P: And book cover designers would have no job.
J: Yeah there'd be no such thing.
Q: Book to movie, or book to TV?
P: I think book to TV.
J: Same. P: Yeah, more time.
J: more details.
Q: Movie or TV adaptation of a book that you preferred to the book.
J: The Handmaid's Tale, still! It hasn't changed since 20 minutes ago.
P: Yeah, that's the answer we gave for the other video as well. (Spoilers!)
P: We totally loved The Handmaid's Tale. I think it added so much more to the book, but while still doing it justice.
J: Yep. P: And it just made the world so much more heightened I felt.
J: Bigger, yeah.
P: And, like, the... the risks were real.
P: That everything?
J: Yeah, that'll do.
J: They can watch your video for the other one!
P: What's the other one?
J: Bonus answer!
P: Bonus answer that even I can't remember!
J: Is on Pip's tag video!
Q: Final question. Series or standalones?
P: Uhhh. It depends.
J: It really depends.
P: Yeah. It depends.
J: Oh, did we miss the question where we talk about writing in books?
P: Oh yes!
J: I'm pretty sure that was a thing....
P: Well let's definitely ask that question!
Q: Do you like to write in books, yay or nay?
P: Yes I do! What about you?
J: Oh I so do!
P: This is the book that inspired me to write in books.
J: I like that.
P: Because it's one of those like stories within a story. So you've got the main text,
and then you've got the story of what's happening to people on the outside. And I
realised how cool it was to record your thoughts about the book at the time.
J: Cause then you've got two stories.
P: Yeah!
J: I've actually already made a video about this.
Amazing! It's like already over a year old, and it was one of the first videos
that I ever made, so it's hella awkward.
P: Oh Iove it though! It is really good! J: You can watch it if you want, but you don't have to.
J: I think the main thing that has always struck me, is the idea of actually making a book yours.
P: Mmm!
J: So, like, when that book moves on to someone else. Whether you donate, it or whether you...
lend it to someone... or whether you.. die.
P: Morbid. J: That escalated quickly.
J: It doesn't just become another book. It's still your book, and someone else knows that you read that book.
P: Yeah I like that.
J: And then, like, it adds to the book. Like you said. You get two stories in one
when you get a book that someone else has written in. Cause you're like 'this is
someone else.' And then you get to think about their life, and what was
happening in their life that affected the way they thought about the book, and
all of that. Like it makes you think more about that, and how subjective a book
actually is. So much pro for writing in books.
P: Love it.
J: Yay! That's much more interesting than the last question!
J: I hope you had fun watching this video. We had fun...
P: We had fun!
J: ... filming this video.
J: Let us know, down in the comments, how you feel about writing in books!
P: Yes please!
J: I think that's the most interesting thing we've talked about here.
J: Don't forget to check out our other collab video on Pip's channel, because she is amazing.
P: Oh thank you!
J: She is a queen.
J: I'll see you in another video very shortly I'm sure. And until then, as always, stay classic!
