My favourite booktubers

I discovered the magical place called "booktube" when I was on winter break in seventh grade. That is two years and a half ago, and i have not stopped watching and re-watching reviews, tags and challenges. And since i love this part of YouTube so much, i decided that i need to share with you some of my all-time favourite vloggers.

I think it's only fair that i begin with Polandbananasbooks a.k.a Christine Riccio. Her videos were the fisrt ones i started binge-watchig, i just honestly couldn't have enough. I really love her take on things- it really is unique and different: the way she films everything, the way her make-up always matches the theme of her video. At first I found her a bit bizzare, but i got used to that pretty easily, seeing how awesome she actually is.

Next on the line is Sasha Alsberg. I knew i loved her from the very start. I think what got me hooked with her were her favorites videos. I really enjoy the way she explains things and gets in depth, and her bookshelves were also so impressive to me. She had those big shelves full of books that really seemed endless and i remember wandering if i'll ever have that many tomes in my own home library some day.

The third booktuber that i am going to talk about is Peruseproject also known as Regan. I really love her old videos and most enjoy watching not her reviews but rather her tags and comparisons. I think she has a really good perspective and analyses things very well, somehow managing to not be boring. 

So, that post was a rather short one but i really enjoyed writing it.

Top five TV series: 2017 edition

I feel like this year I haven't watched that many TV shows, mainly because I had a lot of school work. But there's also the fact that I am very picky when it comes to movies and series, so I have not given a lot of new shows a chance. So I decided to list my top five for this year, hoping to give you some ideas.

5- Stranger things- I absolutely loved the ambiance of this show, the characters were all fantastically done and the storyline itself was very captivating. It was a little scary at some points, but that was mainly because of the atmosphere. Also, i really loved that the main characters were mostly kids. One thing I found annoying, though, was Eleven. I know everybody loves her, but for me her character was rather irritating.


4- Gilmore girls: A Year in the Life- I was so excited for this to come out and I am so extremely happy that it exists. I tried watching it an episode a day, but I just couldn't- i ate it all at once. It gave me all the happy and gushy feelings and it was an absolute joy devouring it. The one thing I did not completely understand was the ending of it. I do not want to spoil anything, but if you know what I am talking about, comment your thoughts below.


3- The bold type- this new show has only six episodes so far but i am completely in love with it. It is relatable, amusing, swoon-worthy and really inspiring. I recommend waiting for the whole first season to come out so you can binge-watch it.

2- Riverdale- I think this comes as no surprise. This show has been talked about on every social media possible. Its storyline keeps you guessing, the actors play their roles so well, the romance is good, there are, once again, swoon-worthy moments and the characters themselves are very well written. Also the soundtrack IS SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD!!!

1-SKAM- this Norwegian TV show crashed my soul to peaces. I can not describe my love for it, because it is eternal. The characters are diverse, it takes a look on the very scary world we are living in today, the problems we, as people of the 21st century, are facing. It is charming and funny, romantic, bold and so well done. Again, the soundtrack is amazing and I think this is the one show i can recommend to anyone without hesitation.

I hope i was somewhat helpful and that this post gave you ideas for what to watch next.
