![]() ![]() I put First & Then on my Christmas wish-list and it was a done deal. One of my favorite booktubers holds up Emma Mills’ book and says something along the lines of, “This book is by Elmify, another youtuber,” and I was struck dumb. ![]() So here I was, perusing Booktube, Elmify and her wit not having crossed my mind since the day I received my eighth grade diploma and award for perfect attendance, and moved on to “bigger” and “better” things. I’m basically just a better looking, more mentally, emotionally, and physically stable version of my middle-school self. What I’m trying to say is, I spend a lot of time with my nose in a book, my fingers with a pen or on a keyboard, or my eyes on a screen, watching booktube or, like, the vlogbrothers. Little did I know that I’d turn right back into a more mature, sophisticated (or so I like to think) version of my middle school self once I reached the college level. My middle school years turned to high school years, and I didn’t have time to watch my dear Elmify anymore. That was, undoubtedly, a preconceived failure. I watched Elmify (Author, Emma Mills) on YouTube in middle school, when I attempted to make my own channel inspired by hers. ![]()
