hi today I wanted to film a snapchat Q&A
I've done some in the past I really
enjoy getting the questions in video
form
I am books and quills on snapchat in
case you were wondering I sent out a
little request for questions this
morning so here we go
I'm gonna play them here and hopefully
you'll be able to see them ok let's get
started with of course there's Anna my
question is what's what did you like to
thank you great question from Ravi Anna
always the first eager beaver I'll go
get it it's not so much a sweater as it
is a cardigan but is this one that worn
in a video before which is from the
brand Vila about in the Netherlands and
he's so so cozy and basically just as
goes on top of whatever I'm wearing that
day ok next one is from imagine illusion
ok so she asked about the motivation to
read people always think I've read tons
like probably don't read as much as you
think I do because I do find it hard to
motivate myself to read sometimes but
for me just having a book on me at all
times is the best way to do it because
then whenever you have a free second
you're like oh I can just start reading
that sometimes I'll just like hold it
under my arm as I'm walking around so
that as soon as I get on the tube I can
open it and start reading the next one
is from sandy dee yes when I was in high
school I wasn't doing YouTube yet and I
mean it wasn't even watching YouTube yet
because it didn't exist yet I'm so old
there were these career evenings where
sort of had to pick which careers you
want to learn about and I'm pretty sure
I went to like the civil engineering one
and the architect one was thinking about
it now I probably would have ended up
being like a graphic designer or
something I don't have the most amazing
graphic design skills now but it's
something that I'm really interested in
and I just really like creating stuff
next from Lucy see car so first one book
that I can reread I probably want it to
be like a big epic adventure
but like something was really beautiful
writing that at the same time it's like
a little bit sad but will also cheer me
up it's probably gonna be a toss-up
between a children's book or a classic I
think I would love to reread a book like
Jane Eyre for example all the time but
then I have a couple of really old kids
books that like are just so comforting
so there's the doctor book crusade in
jeans which I love and I have reread a
bajillion times and I could just read
that over and over again it would
definitely be a book that sat in the
past because those always end up being
my favorite and then if I could have a
dinner party with five fictional
characters who would I invite it's hard
because a lot of the fictional
characters I loved wouldn't necessarily
be like the most fun company I'm gonna
have to go with Hermione because I think
she would just be quite an interesting
person to have at the table I need to
get my Goodreads out for this I kind of
want Mark Watney there from the Martian
just for the lulz I don't know if I want
to go for like quirky characters to have
a really fun table
or if I just want to find some people
that I'd get all worth really well I'm
gonna think about this more and maybe
I'll do a full video about it in the
future let me know who you would invite
to your five fictional person dinner
party the next one is from every Chris
Thank You Germany my favorite author of
all time is the Dutch author taya Beck
mom just because she wrote so many books
in so many different settings so many
different stories but very often a great
feeling of character at the heart of it
those books have shaped my tastes and
probably a lot of my world when I was
younger so Shaba really always stand
with the most important authors in my
life next one is from star-crossed mil
really good questions okay
so book release Isabel Greenberg from
the encyclopedia of early Earth is
bringing out a new graphic novel and I
can't remember the title but I saw it on
her blog and I am really excited for
that and then if I could live in any
other City
I love the US and I love visiting it as
a tourist but I don't know if I would
want to live there looking at the sort
of safety net the country has and the
gun policy and stuff like that
just not on board with it I would
probably really enjoy living in like a
Scandinavian Sydney but I haven't
visited enough of them yet to really say
that I don't like countries that are too
hot I can actually see myself living in
Amsterdam I would probably also quite
enjoy living in Canada next is Alicia I
really like doing on the go stuff and
travel stuff which is usually the
hardest to edit but I just really enjoy
going out and getting the nicest footage
and doing a bit of vlogging on the go so
that's really good and then I also quite
enjoy videos that have like cutaway
close-ups of stuff which sounds really
dumb but it's really satisfying to edit
okay this one is from flora hue probably
the Virgin Suicides because it's such
delicious delicious writing and I think
it's quite an accessible book and I
think it works for a lot of different
people not very long one it's not like a
difficult classic so I think that's
probably one I don't think I've ever had
this would be subject questions okay
next one is from Jessie C Thompson don't
know if you can see that but they're
really cute like clothing emojis I get
most of my clothing from H&M and Topshop
and a little bit from Zara and then
there's a shop in the Netherlands that I
love which is called Vera Moda they used
to be one in London and then it went
away ideally I'd like to find more sort
of ethical companies to buy clothing
from if you have any recommendations for
the UK - let me know also my full
strategy is like black and white gray
navy burgundy floral and stripes that's
it alright next is from Emily apx but
favourite one is by an artist that I
mentioned before which is encyclopedia
of early Earth but his book Greenberg
and it's my favorite for a bunch of
different reasons first of all it goes
into mythology which is awesome
secondly it really reminds me of the
humor in Avatar The Last Airbender which
seems very random but it's like a
combination of that and Kate Beaton just
sort of combines all the best things so
next is feisty-pants haha
I was wondering what tea do you like to
drink when you read books and or what
bath bomb do you like to use before I
really like tea pink tea they do a
peppermint and licorice one that I love
I also really like Roy Boss which in
Dutch just pronounced rooibos and that's
how it's also spelled in English you
know it's confuses me although I really
love lush and I do love using bath bombs
I don't take baths that often probably
like once a month but my favorite ones
are always the ones that make the bath
sparkly okay next there is viva luxury
so this is something that I've been
thinking about a lot for now I'm not
going fully vegan but I try to stay
educated about the food industry I also
try and be better about the stuff that I
buy when it comes to like clothing and
accessories and stuff like that okay and
then finally there is G G whoo Nia my
question is if you want this island oh
no I might actually bring Hatchett by
gary paulsen or he's about a boy who
crashes into the Canadian forest and has
to survive on this island just you know
just for the motivation alright that was
the snapchat Q&A thank you so much for
sending in your questions I was really
enjoyed doing these and I hope you guys
enjoyed it as well I'll talk to you guys
later
dewy let me cool
