Really enjoyed this video ! Not seen this tag before, I might do it myself :)

Aww that makes the song even sweeter. Have you written any others for other books? :) I feel like if I wrote songs about books they'd all be about Harry Potter :')

Loved this tag! Definitely want to do it in the future :) Great answers--especially for such a difficult tag lol

I love this song SOOO much <3 x

Love itttt!!!

This is great Lizzy! I loved it.

Mesmeric... :)

Congrats on the album launch :D Your album cover looks fantastic as well! P.S. really excited about those collabs ;)

Definitely agree with the star rating thing. I go with it but I kind of wish it didn't exist, just because it really does make me biased before I go into a book. I feel like most of the time my reaction to a book is based on whether it feels overrated or underrated. I was so surprised about Harper Lee's new book as well! It still feels kind of unreal!

So many good days! Congrats on your album launch that's so exciting! You sound amazing! Going to listen to your album now :)

I definitely want to read The Night Circus! It sounds so interesting.

Really love your answers Lizzy :) Some of the questions in this tag were quite difficult to answer :P x

When I heard about Harper Lee's new book I thought "oh my god yay!" then it suddenly struck me that if Scout is grown up then Atticus might die. I am very very afraid.

i LOVE this tag. bookmarking to do later! also, i love your glasses :)

Congratulations on the album launch! You sounded (and looked!) amazing!

I'm off to go listen to your album!! Super excited. :)

I love those glasses in the part where you're in your pyjamas :P Also I'll definitely head over to itunes and check out your album

Great video! Keep up the fabulous videos! Subscribed :)

Great tag!!

Nice opportunity for a book haul with all the books you bought XD Great video!

YAY YOU DID IT! Great video :)

i definitely want to do this tag, i have so many things i want to say about buying books!

My to-be-read pile is also increasing at a steady pace, but I love books all too much and I enjoy being surrounded by so many great ideas so it can't ever be that bad, right? haha. Great video, as always, Lizzy =)

I loove used bookstores too! Thanks for tagging me, I'll be filming this one soon :)

Great video and answers!!! And I'm also gushing with your accent!

Hi Lizzy, I love your videos! I was just wondering what kind of camera you use.

30 books! Go you!!! Living the dream. Lol

I love your pillows!!! Great tag deary x

I had the same experience of libraries when I was little. Library day was an exciting day even though it was a tiny one! :) And I did the same thing with Divergent. I read the first one but I didn't feel like I needed to carry on with the series. Thanks so much for tagging me! :D

Great tag !! Sophie Kinsella should write another series similar to shopaholic, Books version LOL XD

I'm so glad that I watched this on Holocaust Memorial Day. Anne Frank is one of the first people I ever remember being inspired by, and she has a special place in my heart. It was lovely to hear your thoughts about it, and your trip to her house. Fabulous video!

This is really, really useful! I think talking about it definitely helps with me. My poor mum has to sit and listen to me talk about books and poems she's never read all the time :') Part 2 will definitely be useful too! Can't wait to see it :)

My favourite book!

These are great tips! I really want to read some poetry books this year as part of my goals for the year, I already have two poets I'm planning to read in the next coming months, so this video is perfect!

I'm a newbie too! Checking out all the other newbie's videos and came across yours. I love how eloquently you answer the questions - I'm nowhere near as coherent as you! I'm new to poetry - I only have one poetry collection (Dorothy Parker collection) but I'm hoping your videos will open my eyes to a new medium that I haven't really explored before.

I love reading poetry but don't do it nearly enough, I definitely need to get back into it! This was lovely, I can't wait for the rest!

I thought this was a really informative and interesting video :D I think the reason I used to be turned off by poetry because I didn't necessarily understand how to read it. This video gave me a lot more confidence in reading poetry the way I want. Can't wait for more videos!

Reading a whole poem out loud is OK when it is of short or medium length. For long epic poems eg. Paradise Lost, it'd best be done eg. in chapters. I'm interested in archetypal poems, the stellar examples of different types of poetry. (In prose, for eg., the archetypes for realist novels are Middlemarch & War and Peace. In high epic fantasy, the archetype may be Lord of the Rings.) I'm interested in hearing you speak about the creme de la creme. I don't know much about poetry, so what are the greats? The Iliad? Pindar? Dante's Paradiso, Faery Queene, The Waste Land, Psalm 19 & 119 from Hebrew scripture, the best of Tennyson & Wordsworth, & what about Shakespeare, or Milton, or lots of other great poets who wrote in other languages than English? Prose I read once, straight thru. I may reread the piece (months or years later), but I don't hyperanalyze it, deconstruct it, pull it apart line by line, & couldn't care less about allegory (don't like it), & care only slightly more about the pedantic overstress of symbolism (teachers & Profs affected me negatively here: some treated it like a sacred cow). Poetry I found tough, & much of I found elitist, reading material of the tiny-group literary 'in' crowd. No one I know reads poetry that's not proscribed; incidentally they don't read unproscribed drama either. Poetry is a very different fish than, for me anyway, hyperfamiliar prose. Going over a bunch of text over & over, looking at it in a plethora of different ways, is an exercise which, on the surface at least, doesn't seem like too much fun & more like ponderous pedantry. I want in some sense to be wrong but I fear that for a huge number of poems I may be right.

Loved this video, if I'm perfectly honest English GCSE took away my love of poetry but this video has inspired me to get back into reading poetry :) Thank you so much for this video :D

Amazingly helpful and inspiring! I haven't read any poetry for over a year now - I read much during my bachelor's in English, but now I'm merely studying novels, which I find super interesting, but recently I've been wanting to read poetry, but afraid I won't understand a single bit. This inspires me to try it again soon :) Thanks!

This video is inspiring me to give poetry another chance because I tend to avoid it like the plague. I think I do have some irrational fear that I won't "get" it so what you said about there being no right or wrong answer was somewhat illuminating. That being said, "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe is my all time favourite poem, I can very nearly recite it from beginning to end (and it ain't short!)

wow *.* loving ur intro so much

I know that I read some of it in primary school but I don't remember how I felt about it. Definitely need to pick this up now I'm an adult and read it from cover to cover. It sounds very emotional (obviously), especially that ending :( I've read quite a few quotes from it and each time I read a new one I'm always blown away by how wise she was.

First of all, your intro is gorgeous! Second, thank you for showing some love to poetry. I find I kind of forget that poetry is literature and I don't read that much. I will be checking out the poems to learn by heart.

I remember reading it for school, I found it very powerful. Since then I've read some excerpts, but there's something about it that doesn't leave you.

I really want to read this book. And me and my boyfriend want to go to Amsterdam eventually. Tenerife and sunshine first, in may! I'm so excited I get to see a volcano and a dolphin I hope. Anyway, back to the book I haven't read it but I do know the story, and I think it would be inspirational to read because no matter how bad you think things are there are worse things to go through. I think it may make me cry though

this was so wonderful to listen to. I think you would be really impressed by Yad Vashem, the holocaust memorial in Jerusalem. it's beautifully done--you come out heartbroken, with different stories each time. you reminded me of it with this video because when you visit the children's section of the memorial, you're asked to remember at least one child's name. I could tell you a million things I learned from that museum. you're right in that Anne is only part of the story, but she's a wonderful part

Love this video! And the diary. I'm reading it again as an adult and want to write/vlog about how that differs from reading it as a child. Great video, I'd love to visit amsterdam someday!

I've actually never read it but strangely enough, I was talking about it with my flatmate the other day who was saying pretty much exactly the same things as you! Great video

I read around half way through her diary before and I was super enjoying it but for some reason I stopped :/ I really enjoyed your video on it because I felt like what you were saying was incredibly heart felt and sincere. It's made me want to pick this book up and read it from start to finish as I think her story is such an important one. Sorry for this comment being so long ! Aha. Keep up the great work on your channel, I'm loving it
