[@hannahblackwellbooks]

I’m so proud of you!!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@MadiCovington]

congratulations! 🎉 love getting to know youtubers on a deeper level 🤍 i also left my job this past spring to pursue my YT channel & it’s been a dream - i hope that you thrive with your new opportunities!! 👏🏼

[@HonestFiction]

Thank you so much! It’s so exciting to hear you’re also pursuing your passions, I’m so happy for you! 💖

Your editing and video quality is so amazing! For what it’s worth, I think you are so fast! And even one video a week I find impressive lol. I have made a couple of videos (not booktube, more vlog), and was learning more about editing and I enjoyed it so much but OMG it took me so long!!! Then I got a job and couldn’t manage anymore (although I will probably re-start when I get settled in this job). I have always admired your editing, it would be super cool to know more about how you worked on your templates 🖤

[@HonestFiction]

I appreciate you saying that!!! Editing is def my favorite part and I’ve learned so much through trial and error 😂

[@TheNerdyCowgirlReads]

I was a special ed teacher, and i loved ABA! Thought about doing my masters in it. But i quit teaching too. Partially because i had kids and wanted to be home with them but partially because i hated it! I loved working with the kids and taking data but hated everything else about teaching. Now I’ve been a stay at home mom for 4 years and just started my own booktube and gaming channels! I absolutely love having a channel, it’s so much fun! 💙

[@HonestFiction]

It sounds like you’re finding your perfect balance! So inspiring! 💖

[@coffee_cookies_books]

I would definitely love to hear your more about your youtube journey. I am not the type that want to know exactly what you make, but I think a topic that covers the basics would be hugely helpful to people like myself.

downtown Princeton would def benefit from a romance & fantasy bookshop! I know I'd be there all the time!

[@michelles.readingcorner]

Inspiration question lady here - thank you for answering! I actually was at NJIT for a year, so I guess we were neighbours for a little bit. :) I'm currently a very burnt-out professor, which is why I wanted to hear about your education trajectory. Really enjoy your content, and happy that you get to do what you love!

[@pardonthisbookaddict]

Congratulations on everything!! ❤❤

[@HonestFiction]

[@CatherineSteele328]

my mom is a teacher, it is such a hard job that does not get enough recognition!! Your content is so great, I'm so excited to see even more from you!💜💜

[@HonestFiction]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 💜 Thank you for your support!

[@KS-un3pi]

We need a link to your sweatshirt you have on! Every Good Girl wants merch! LOL

[@HonestFiction]

Omg, I love that! 😂 I actually got it from MyBookGoddess ✨

[@AmandasBooktopia]

I love these answers! Your Q&A’s are so fun. Also what are you going to have on your website? That must be so exciting for you!

[@HonestFiction]

Ahhh so far I’ll be selling Instagram graphics, templates, reels, & stories (all customizable) & KZbin thumbnails + intros 🥰

[@AmandasBooktopia]

@ So cool! I may have to hire you for my thumbnails. Yours are always so much prettier than mine.

[@searchanddiscover]

what is indexing? is that like filing or organizing something?

[@liezllovesbooks]

Same if I could have any job in the world, it would be to open up my own bookstore with an ice cream shop built in because I love ice cream

[@Bookbonkers8439]

I commend anyone that wants to go into education, and I can see how you’d get burned out. I also agree with the comment before mine, teachers don’t get enough recognition!

[@KaitlyntheGardener]

Wait, what?? People don’t like ABA?? I can’t even fathom that. ABA was THE BEST DECISION we ever made for my son. He graduated from ABA after a couple years and he absolutely started thriving as a DIRECT result from it. Kudos to you for handling ABA as long as you did. I’ve seen the rougher cases myself and that would be heartbreaking to see on the daily.
