The Vlogger diaries by T Collins

Emma the new girl gets taken in by Olivia paying her to be the face of her YouTube channel as Olivia needs to make money to afford the school New York trip.

Between the girls they want the Destiny channel to be a success while Emma hopes Olivia will be so grateful she'll allow her to join her group at school called the Swans a popular friendship group everyone envies.

It was a fun read as she faces being outed by a boy at her school and humiliated in front of an audience. It was full of drama and friendship faux pas. All about learning to be confident and happily you had never been more important or needed in Olivia's case!

Doing It by Hannah Witton

Hannah is a huge YouTube star whom openly discusses important essential life topics such as love, relationships, sex, health and her latest, stoma care too. As a young role model for teens and other generations Hannah's debut book Doing It shares the nitty gritty of all aspects of healthy and unhealthy issues surrounding sex from abusive relationships to health and happiness as no one will have the same experience as someone else.

The book features guests throughout with their tips and stories about sex and health which are hilarious while being informative too as well as being new facts I'd never known about till picking up this book proving this guide is very thoroughly thought out.

The book is suitable for anyone facing any issues surrounding love and relationships of a mature age or way of thinking.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

Kiss Cam by Kiara London

Jasper, June and Lenny run a successfully partnered channel with a YouTube style company called Vlog It. They do dares and q and a's whilst fans love Jasiper and shipping a couple out of the three.

Lenny becomes a back part member as fans challenge Jasiper to do a kiss cam challenge meaning that they kiss in a q and a but then fans want more.

A whole series over Christmas in fact, which once complete after they started with a shared promise of no feelings threatens to tear their friendship and channel apart.

Then when Jasper starts to get close to Elaina, we see their friendship sort of resolve until Alison listens to her friends woes about it all and points out what June hasn't realised yet.

Maybe June and Jasper are meant to be more than friends and just kissing buddies after all?

For me it wasn't the best book around YouTubers and navigating those friendship to romance relationships, yet it was fun with the challenges set by fan's and it did flow better than some books by more established authors.

A cute contemporary for teens and tweens who love relationships around YouTube and online personality's.

Goodreads Quotes

Eve beinguniquebeingme’s quotes

"You should date a girl who reads.
Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she has found the book she wants. You see that weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a secondhand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow and worn.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas, for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry and in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who read understand that all things must come to end, but that you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes."— Rosemarie Urquico
