I am writing this blog post as a companion for a YouTube video but I would still love to get some discussion going here on the blog around this topic as well. Next month in June will be one year since Rowling’s big essay that doubled (tripled? quadrupled?) down on all of her beliefs and…

Trinity at Portable Magic tagged me to do the Small Booktuber tag, so that’ll be this week’s bookish video on my channel over at Jenna Gets Creative. Thanks for tagging me! I’m releasing the blog post format as my Sunday post because I don’t have any tours this weekend, but I do also make sure…
It’s time to think of another booktube topic for Monday’s video and while I have now done my re-read (and first listen) of The Night Circus and could just finally do that video, I never post a booktube video without a companion blog post before it or on the same day, and I don’t want…
Whenever Monday’s coming up and I don’t have a topic for my Monday book topic videos, I go hunting for tags. This time I found the I Should Have Read That Book Tag on One More Book and it’s a unique tag unlike anything I’ve done before, so let’s do it! I followed the grape…
The Resolutions Book Tag was created quite recently by Mikaela Reads (@ReadsMikaela) and I was tagged by Lucy Rambles (@LucyRambles). I’m putting out my responses to this tag here on the blog on Sunday January 17th and will be featuring it as my weekly bookish video on the YouTube channel on Monday. I’m going to…
This is a companion post to my YouTube video for Monday January 11, 2021, because I vow to always have a companion post to accompany my videos for those who would prefer to read them, and this week is neither a review, a previously written article, or a tag. Let’s talk about some of the…
Thank you to The Inharmonious Heroine for tagging me! This tag was created by Tea and Paperbacks. I’ll also be doing this one as a booktube video on Jenna Gets Creative the same day this post goes live (if you don’t see it, you’ve arrived too early in the day and I’m still editing, check…

The blood wasn’t real. Her heart hammered in her chest. The blood wasn’t real. She could feel the terror coursing through her veins. The blood wasn’t real. But what if it was hers?
As some of you may or may not already know, I’ve been uploading weekly videos to YouTube on a “BookTube / AuthorTube” channel called The Westveil Archives since late May. I’ve already been in the YouTube game for over two years with my art content on Jenna Gets Creative, but when I decided to start…
This book tag was created by BooksNest and I found it on the blog Jessticulates. Feel free to join in! Just credit the creator. I’ll be releasing my answers both here on the blog and on my BookTube channel, so you can choose to watch & listen instead if you wish. Please note that this…
I’m not sure who originally started this tag, and I was not technically tagged myself, but I found it on Howling Library‘s blog this week and I decided I’d do it. Why not, right? In this tag you answer the bookish “would you rather” questions posed by the person who tagged you (I’ll be using…
Back in 2015, YouTuber emmmabooks created the R.I.P. It or Ship It book tag, where you fill one (or two, or many) jars/mugs/glasses with book character names from a variety of books and draw names at random in pairs. Once you’ve got a random pairing you decide whether you ship it (approve of the potential…
The Fall Book Tag was created by Bionic Bookworm, and I discovered it because I follow Storme Reads a Lot. Check them out! The rules are simple: credit Bionic Bookworm, use their original graphics if you wish, and have fun! I’ve decided to also record this one as a YouTube video, so if you’d rather…
Do you know who created this tag? Let me know! I want to give credit, and I couldn’t find that info. If you’d like to see Jenna from 3 months ago answer these questions (yes I’m still editing and releasing videos I batch filmed when I first started the channel) then here you go! If…
The Game of Thrones Book Tag was originally created by Claire Rousseau, and although I was not tagged, I’ve decided to do it. I actually picked my answers and filmed the accompanying video back in May, but since that was pre-Rowling boycott, I’ve had to change two of my answers and cut those sections from…
Last week I did Kiley Keeling’s TSS Book Tag, original bookish version, and this week I’m answering the author version. Don’t forget to check out Kiley’s channel and their own video doing the tag as well. Both tags contain prompts based on characters, themes, plot points, and settings from Jenna Moreci’s The Savior’s Sister. TSS…
