Hey ladies! A belated welcome to Booktube! I’m so sad that I’ve only just found your channel now. Subscribing this instant and consider me a new fan! You all have such good chemistry between you. I immediately felt like I was at brunch with my group of girlfriends! Reading diversely is a big focus on my channel, so I’m thrilled to see this is a focus for you all as well. :) I’m excited to go check out some of your other videos as soon as I finish this one. I love reading in the bath! This is my go to place to decompress. A hot bath and book after a day of work is perfect. Listening to what you like to read, I’ve got quite a bit of crossover with each of you! Babel is dark academia. It’s solid. I like that it flips a lot of the typical dark academia tropes. Subscribed and looking for more of your videos soon!

[@thecandidbookclub]

Thank you so much for your kind words and we're so happy to have you on board. We definitely need to read Babel - it is definitely time and we haven't heard anyone say a bad word about it!!

[@ramapublishing8942]

The best recommendations as per usual

[@SobiaAhmed-xm4oy]

I agree with Linda! I can’t do books in the bath! I get bored and the water gets cold way too quick lol

[@thecandidbookclub]

Haha yes! It’s just not practical for me!

About the bathtub reading discussion: I have a feeling that this is much more of a Booktube than Bookstagram thing to do, so no wonder it took you the Booktube Newbie Tag to discuss it. :) Glad you did this, and yes the dynamics of the group discussion are great and unique. I also appreciate the fact that you are 5 adults, which is also rare (or not as successful on Booktube). But also, the quality and editing of the videos thus far is top notch so keep it up.

[@thecandidbookclub]

Thanks for tuning in and for the kind feedback! The bathtub reading discussion was definitely not planned, but I am glad we got to share our impromptu thoughts with everyone!

[@Littlebiglibrary]

[@adellejohnson8778]

Love your candor and humour! Watching you from Cape Town, South Africa and looking forward to more bookish chats 😀

[@thecandidbookclub]

Thanks so much for tuning in! And yes plenty more candour and humour from us :)

[@laya.r1854]

The work you do is amazing! You truly have inspired me to read more books. Lots of love ❤

[@thecandidbookclub]

Thank you so much! Happy reading :)

I really admire what you are doing and bringing it to the Booktube community! I love that there is another multi-person Booktube channel joining this community, for we have been active for 10 years and it is challenging to get everyone together, but it is achievable. When we film content with multiple people, we will often film multiple videos in one day and then release them accordingly when they are edited. I think the five of you have a great chemistry and I believe there are no boundaries amongst you. I also agree that it is perfectly okay to be able to disagree with someone and debate your side and everything is still okay. We are seeing a great sense of strain because people are having difficulty doing that. It is also great that amongst you, you enjoy reading a wide array of genres. You should not have to force yourself to read fantasy if you do not want to do so. Read what you want to read. You stick out by being yourself. Babel was a nominee for one of our Roundtable Reads on our channel, but it lost out to The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. This was one of the best introduction videos I have ever watched, and I am very excited to watch more of your videos! -Josh

[@thecandidbookclub]

Josh, Thanks so much for reaching out, for the kind feedback and congratulations on 10 years! Totally agree - if we can't disagree and express our opinions then what is the point!?

[@LiteraryGladiators]

It's my pleasure! Thank you for the kind wishes for our channel as well! It is an amazing thing when we can disagree in a civil way and in a way that provides an opportunity to learn something new as well. It is also amazing to hear differing opinions and hear each individual argument.

[@thecandidbookclub]

@@LiteraryGladiators most definitely!

[@RachidaBenamar-p1i]

Love this. Thank you for this

[@thecandidbookclub]

Thank you for watching!

[@amynbawaallah]

Are you taking applications for a 6th😭😍😭

[@amynbawaallah]

My anxiety wouldn't let me read in the bath. I would imagine all the worst scenarios coming to life

[@thecandidbookclub]

@@amynbawaallah Consider yourself an honourary member :) ahha yes reading in the bath is an absolute risk!
