BookTube Recommendations | BookTube Love

[@PageTurnersWithKatja]

Thank you! 🤩🥰💛 I'm thrilled you enjoyed my video, Jen. I'll be checking out all the others you listed, and am especially interested in the Perimenopause/Menopause video (and I'm also 43 )

[@CharlieBrookReads]

Booktube is such a great community I agree. Pleased you are getting back into your reading stride. Thank you so much for the shout out. Very much appreciated 😘❤️ So many great booktubers some of which I know some of which I don’t and will check out!! I look forward to your Mid year check in 📚

[@benreadsgood]

Thank you so much for the mention, Bristol buddy! Still chuffed that we managed to complete the whole bookshop bingo card between us 😅 Some channels here that are new to me which I definitely need to check out.

[@SantReads]

Thank you for the shout out Jen. 🥰 you were the first few people i started to watch on booktube. and even though i don't really comment as much, know that you always have such a warm, cute place in my heart. Loved all the recommendations btw. Checked out some of the people and they're AMAZING. But not as amazing as you! 🤗🤗

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

I'm awful at commenting on people's videos, because I'm always doing other things while I listen to youtube, but your videos are still among my favourites - always love you!

[@BandysBooks]

I’m so sorry to hear about all of the things that have been happening to you lately. I hope life settles down for you. I follow a few of these booktubers. Thank you for introducing me to some new booktubers too.

[@GemofBooks]

Love this!! I love just general BookTube chat 😄 Thanks so much for the shoutout - you’re a legend! Always happy to laugh with/at you 😂😂😂 Also really loved your newsletter - such an interesting topic, I definitely agree that historical books need to be viewed through a different lens.

[@thelefthandedreader6632]

I loved this video! I love hearing about Booktube channels and, as a small, new Booktuber, I love to see and explore new channels of varying sizes. Fantastic!!

[@NoFaceInTheCrowd]

Sorry to hear that you went through what must have been a very difficult time! Last year, I also had a couple of months when I couldn't read. You bet that I celebrated the first book I completely finished after that! 🥳 When I'm not feeling my best, I go to booktube for comfort. Just like you, I really enjoy the community. Happy to see you uploading again! It's almost like seeing a friend after a long time 😊

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment. You're absolutely right, BookTube is like a big comforting hug whenever you need it - such a wonderful community 😊

[@Minnie.Pauline]

Thank you so much for this video and these recommendations. I get excited when I discover a BookTuber whose reading seems like it will match mine. I will go and check them out. And I hope you’ll be back soon, telling us that your year is getting better!

[@sarah-roadworthy]

Jen, you can post about whatever you read whenever you want. After being a watcher/commenter for 3-4 years, I finally launched my own channel. I'm having so much fun and each week is a learning experience. You are absolutely right, people are nothing but warm and welcoming in the community. I'm starting to wonder what took me so long to finally post. I love hearing about your reads and your PhD adventures.

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

I'm so glad you've joined booktube too (I've just been to subscribe, and I'm looking forward to watching your videos).

[@SupposedlyFun]

What a fun video! Several of these channels are new to me and I can't wait to explore them further. BookTube really is a lovely community. It's helped me so much over the last year. I'm glad it helps you as well! And thank you for including my Grapes of Wrath video. I love doing my Pulitzer videos because I feel like they allow me to unleash my inner nerd.

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

I really love your deep dives, you clearly put so much thought into them and your passion for the Pulitzer project is so clear.

[@judybrown1624]

Have you watched any of Roro Reads individual book reviews? I love his style.

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

I have - I love his reviews, they're so good!

[@heathergregg9975]

This is great - I'm constantly surprised by how many lifetime passionate readers haven't yet heard about Booktube. Your video will help others to find this community.

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

Everyone seems to have heard of BookTok at the moment, so I'm constantly sending people to BookTube (because it's better), and yes, there are still so many people who don't know we're here.

[@heathergregg9975]

@@JentheLibrarianreads glad you are being an ambassador as well as making videos of a standard to make coming to this part of the bookworld worth it.

[@Bessie-On-Wheels]

Nice to see you around and about again. It would appear we have very similar taste in booktuɓers!

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

It feels good to be back ☺️

[@RovingReader]

Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I'm going to watch your update after this one. I'm so so sorry! "You're going to lose blood that way!" haha! I'm here to watch whatever and whenever you want to post videos. You do you. No pressure :)

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

Thank you 😘 Watching BookTube can be dangerous! 😂

[@clueless_about_books]

Hi Jen, this was my first video of yours. Thanks for being so open. I completely understand how something you enjoy can become difficult in grief. I am sorry you have had to go through the loss of your father and the terrible start to your year. I found booktube by mistake. I had stopped reading but mine was earlier, my Dad passed away when I was 15 and then my Mum only recently. There is a lot of guilt in joy. But I met my partner 2 years ago and we get married this year who has bought joy back, hence why reading and other hobbies are also back on the agenda. You will get there. And I look forward to watching some of your previous videos :)

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

It's great to have you here - and welcome to BookTube, I've just subscribed to your channel. I'm sorry to hear about your losses as well, but it sounds like you're getting some joy in your life which is wonderful 😊

[@clueless_about_books]

@@JentheLibrarianreads Thank you for subscribing, I apologise for the chaos you will probably be subject to if you do catch a video. Thanks for the reply. Happy reading :)

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

@@clueless_about_books I live for chaos! I'm absolutely here for it 🤣

[@actual-spinster]

ty for including me / my video !! 🥰🤩 💕 & i so agree w u in terms of 'popular' versus 'academic' books !! all audiences deserve facts lol & fact checked books.... the grapes of wrath video seems so interesting will definitiely be checking that [& all the other channels that im not already watching out!] i hope things get less difficult soon !

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

You’re so right, everyone deserves (properly referenced) facts 😊

[@camillalucyify]

Gosh your intro in this video really made me smile and giggle out loud. I loved the mushiness and love you showed for the book tube community ❤ So helpful to receive recommendations for even more awesome book tubers it seems like my subscription feed will be getting even longer. I almost feel inspired to pick up a camera myself and start a channel too! I recently subscribed to Charlotte Molloy's channel as she seems to have very similar taste to me so I love her recommendations.

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

The BookTube community really is wonderful. If you’re inspired to start a channel you definitely should, but commenters are still a massive warm and welcome part of the community too 🥰. I love Charlotte’s videos, I only started watching her recently and I find her so engaging and interesting to listen to.

[@BookTubewithAmy]

We love a shout out video 😊🩷 some cracking channels I already follow and some new bookish friends to make.

[@ellieh1241]

It's really nice to see you! :-)

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

Thank you! 😃

[@RovingReader]

I agree about ages! I'm proud to be 37 and I'll be proud to be 67 too. Lots of people don't live to be the age you are so we need to celebrate AND we have learned and grown so much each and every year. I love the person I am now so why wouldn't I share my age? Why be embarrassed? It never made sense to me. Hopefully things are changing with our generation!

[@BookishTexan]

I will definitely watch that review of No Modernism Without Lesbians. I think I might have recommended it to you 😳🤓

[@JentheLibrarianreads]

I think lots of people (including you) recommended it to me. I couldn’t really speak for the content as I know next to nothing about modernism, but the lack of decent referencing is a killer for me 😂

[@BookishTexan]

@@JentheLibrarianreads I watched actual spinsters review and it was excellent.
