✨an introduction: booktube newbie tag📖✨

[@mildrumpus]

Welcome to the BookTube community! I also adore Roald Dahl. When he passed away, I cried for two days because I couldn't imagine a world without new stories from him. Best of luck with your channel - I look forward to watching more of your videos. 😎📚👍

[@StarLitLibrary]

thank you so much! such an incredible influence 🥹 I have a couple of his adult short story collections too I'm hoping to get around to, there's just something about short stories that make it hard for me to pick up for some reason 😅 but eventually I will!

[@Curious-Cat]

A belated welcome to BookTube! I can so relate with wanting to be friends with my favorite booktubers 😂 I get so much comfort watching their videos, that's why motivated me to start my own channel as well. Looking forward to hear your fantasy recommendations and to see if you give a try to romantasy!

[@StarLitLibrary]

thank you!!! welcome to you too! i hope you find some good recommendations :) not many romantasy's have caught my attention yet, but hopefully eventually i can find some i like

THE DEMON SLAYER MUG AT THE END 😍😍

[@reading_faerie]

5:18 omg I cannot read something that doesn’t make me feel ANYTHING. I’ve been half sobbing through a book all week 😂 but I’m loving it. Whereas i read a book recently that I was soooo neutral on it was almost worse than if I hated it ☠️

[@the_fools_tale]

Welcome Mars! Thanks so much for the mention! The booktube community is the best

[@StarLitLibrary]

hi! of course! love your content :) thank you, I'm happy to finally join the community with my own videos

[@apoetreadstowrite]

Really enjoyed your quirky, energetic fun. I look forward to following your reading adventures. I love epic fantasy, but I'm addicted to poetry, especially contemporary poetry, and magic realism. Thanks for the bookish inspiration.

[@StarLitLibrary]

thank you so much, happy to have you following my adventures 🥰 i also love poetry! i used to write it since i was a kid. who are your favorite poets? i've always loved e.e. cummings and mary oliver

[@apoetreadstowrite]

@@StarLitLibrary: I've made videos about my favourite poets. I have many. I certainly enjoy Cummings & Oliver, but there are so many really exciting young contemporary poets. I engage a lot with confessional poetry, so am very interested in poetry that responds deeply to issues around mental health. I am a suicide survivor, so find this sort of subject matter important. I guess I'm compelled to engage with this sort of stuff.

I owned Ruby Holler when I was a child. That is the best answer to "what would you ask your favorite book tuber?" We all said how to stay consistent or how to edit etc. haha. We aren't thinking big enough. It was nice getting to know you! Subscribed!

[@reading_faerie]

12:05 as a fellow pysch degree holder it’s BECAUSE WE KNOW TOO MUCH 😂 I can hardly read thrillers because everyone is too predictable 😅 it’s why I love fantasy even though sometimes it’s predictable at least there’s magic 😂 I want to get into more horror too

[@ReneesReads]

[@StarLitLibrary]

[@BonnieNicoleWrites]

@@StarLitLibrary It depends on the mood I'm in honestly. lol I've enjoyed biographies and memoirs, history, religious deconstruction books, self help....

[@andtheywerereaders]

Hello! It feels weird to say welcome because we also just got here, but welcome to booktube! Excited to see more of your videos and get some recs from you that fall outside of what we usually read!

[@StarLitLibrary]

thank you 🥰 I hope you find something interesting!

[@BandysBooks]

Hey there! Welcome to booktube. I definitely grew up with a bit of Roald Dahl too. When you said you read Throne of Glass in highschool, I immediately felt so old. 😅 Great list of favorite booktubers. I’ve subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your videos!

[@StarLitLibrary]

Thank you! hahaha aw well its been 7 years since i started the series, i don't know how the time has passed so much 😭 I appreciate you and look forward to checking out your channel too!

[@LadyJaneBooks]

[@katiemariereads]

Hiiiii welcome to Booktube!

[@StarLitLibrary]

omg hiiii thank you 🥰 happy to be here

[@reading_faerie]

Throne of glass in high school!? …. One sec while I check myself into an old folks home 😂

[@ixeliema]

I'm on the cusp of starting a channel as well! I have so many tiny reservations about just *going for it* though, you know? It's so frustrating. I'm currently a Psychology student who adores anime/manga and fantasy! I'm glad to meet you, and if I start my own channel I hope we can be friends! ❤ Edit: You have a 100% like-subscriber ratio as I watch, and that's beautiful ❤

[@StarLitLibrary]

starting is always the hardest part! it took me so long to push myself to do this too. youve got nothing to lose if u try :) omg we have so much in common already :D thank you for being here, would love to be friends 😭❤️

[@jonfleming506]

Reads Epic fantasy and Psychology? Sign me up.🤓

[@StarLitLibrary]

im glad youre intrigued! thank you for being here :D

[@ThatsMe-dt9ks]

Hii mars. Loved the video. I love to read fantasy too. Tbh I am new to daily reading. But I want to read more books. Would love to join a book club. Let me know if you know some book club or ever create one. Love from Germany❤❤

[@StarLitLibrary]

hi! danke!! i hope you achieve your goals, even just one page a day is good progress :) i'm not currently in any book clubs yet but there's an app called Fable that is just for book clubs, and you can choose to join any youre interested in❤️

[@Bougie_Nerd]

Do you use your psychology degree? I am in school for psychology and keep meeting people who don't use the degree😅 I didn't know all those Roald Dahl books were by the same person!

[@TheNerdyCowgirlReads]

OMG! Yes! That’s why i don’t like contemporary romance too! I don’t want to hear about her going to Starbucks and checking her twitter! 🙄

[@StarLitLibrary]

hahah exactlyyy...if its very minimal and the story is interesting enough then i try to ignore it 😅
