Horrible Histories

Have you heard of Horrible Histories? it's a book and a TV series. In particular, I want to talk to you all today about the TV series which is brilliant. (I am in fact actually watching it right now..)

Look at the beautiful cast.
Just LOOK AT THEM. (sorry I get emotional thinking about Horrible Histories.)

So yes.. this TV show is funny, interesting, clever and most importantly teaches you things! I don't even care that it's meant for children.. adults can watch it too you know. The funny thing is I know more adults that watch it than children, oh life you are funny sometimes. This show features various different sketches about history (as you must have gathered) and puts them in a funny light. It also tells you facts and asks you questions about history.

The show also features a song an episode, these songs are very clever and I won't deny a few of them are on my phone.. my favourites include The Four George's and The Suffragette Song, check them out here:

The Four George's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPtYmq5qFVA
The Suffragette Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBCi_UASgOs

Go forth and watch all the horrible histories!
(I promise I'm not addicted)

As I said before, the cast act so well and I love them all so so much. Horrible Histories ended on it's fifth series this year sadly but the whole cast have recently been on a new show: it's called Yonderland and I believe it's the finale tomorrow.

Go check that out here..

I just realised how much advertising I'm doing for these shows.. I'm not getting paid I promise! I just really like them!

With all that said, hope you guys have a lovely day and talk to you soon :)

BookTube

Hey all!

IT'S 6 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS THIS IS SO EXCITING :D

I just wanted to do a blog post about the BookTube community, which I'm sure many of you will agree with. I personally think the BookTube community is so much friendlier than the "normal YouTube community" (call it what you will). This is because of a few reasons.

Firstly, I feel like everyone is more likely to take a look at your blog/channel and comment on it. They seem to be more willing to make friends. Secondly, it seems to me that this community interacts more with each other than any other community on YouTube itself (this is only my opinion, so please correct me if you think I'm wrong!).

We have nearly 90 subs on YouTube, which is exciting in itself but what I love most about our channel is that the people who watch our videos like to interact with us. I do love the feeling of community :)

So... what do you guys think about this? do you think BookTube is friendlier? or do you disagree with me?
let me know in the comments below!

NEW VIDEO: Revision Tips

Hey guys, so it's that time of year again, and no I'm not talking about Christmas. EXAMS. Yup so I'm currently in Uni and I don't have any exams but I do have coursework, and I know a lot of people have coursework or exams (or both- unlucky.)

So I decided it would be a good idea to give some revision tips.  I hope that this helps someone out there who like me has a procrastination problem If nothing else  I made this video in the vain hope that I will listen to my own advice. (Probably not).

Let me know if this was helpful, and leave any tips of your own in the comments. (No but seriously, I have an actual procrastination problem, I mean I'm literally supposed to be doing work right now)

Please subscribe and all that jazz if you liked the video.

Why is Christmas so exciting?

Hey guys,

So I was wondering why Christmas is so exciting. 'Cause it is most definitely very exciting but as a 20 year old I'm not sure why. As a child you know that Santa is coming and presents are super exciting and you have adults hyping it up, but (spoilers) Santa isn't real and a lot of the presents I get now I will have probably asked for myself.

The day itself in my house has always been really chilled out, we get up have breakfast then get ready and open presents. Usually at least one of those presents is something that I have to set up or play with or something like that. Then it's time to eat.

For most people the food is probably exciting but I'm a vegetarian and neither of my parents are- so the food is always nice but not extremely exciting. And then we usually just watch a film.

So why am I so excited about Christmas?

I'd be interested to know what you guys do for Christmas, let me know in the comments. Are you super excited?

~Louisa.

Guess what..

...

Only 19 days till Christmas!

How exciting is that omg. I hope you all are well, we put up the tree and various Christmassy decorations last weekend and that really got me into the festive spirit. I put on some Christmas music and ahhh it was so lovely. This sounds like a really childish thing to say, but I wish I still believed in Santa :( it made Christmas so much more magical! The funny thing is I still have a stocking every Christmas.. yes I am a five year old child inside.

What I wanted to ask you guys, was what are your Christmas traditions? do you do anything different at Christmas? please answer in the comments below :D

Tea

Ok..so... this post may seem a bit odd but just bare with me guys.

Tea. Tea is a wonderful invention (at least I think so). It is stereotyped that we British love Tea so much we become Tea-mad. Is that a thing? I don't know. Anyway, I find this quite odd because not every single British person likes Tea- I mean we're all different. I know for a fact Louisa doesn't like Tea. So where has this apparent "obsession" come from?

To be honest, though I do find things like this quite funny:

Yes Tom, we can see you love your Tea.

Personally I prefer Tea to coffee but I love a nice hot chocolate too. What do you think? Do you prefer coffee, tea or hot chocolate? Let us know in the comments below!

Bye for now x

NEW VIDEO: Sex in Young Adult books- Debate!

Hey guys,

So it's been a really long time since we've done one of these so sorry about that- I know people seemed to like the other debate we filmed so I'm going to try and make them a more regular thing.

This time we went controvercial and approched the topic of sex in young adult books- should it be allowed or not?

Your input is what makes these types of videos awesome, so do leave your opinions on the subject in the comments. Also we would love it if you subscribed to our YouTube channel by clicking on the button over on the left.

Thanks guys.

Potterhead's Unite

Yes, you've guessed it... it's a post about Harry Potter!
How did you know?

So Harry Potter, as you probably are well aware is a world-wide phenomenon. It's was my childhood and I'm sure thousands of others childhood's too. It's truly beautiful. (That was meant to sound less cringe-worthy than it did!). Just recently I've had the urge to watch all the films in one massive Potter Marathon we shall see how that goes... I worked out that all the films combined equal to 19.4 hours!

I think if I were to choose my favourite film and book from the series, I would choose Prisoner of Azkaban or Deathly Hallows Part Two. Book wise I would perhaps choose Goblet of Fire or Chamber of Secrets? To be honest it's hard to remember, I am ashamed with how little Potterhead stuff I've indulged in recently.

With that said... I want to know:

What are your favourite Harry Potter Books and Films? 

(p.s. who doesn't have a guilty pleasure for this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMzrgXFeX_o)
