The Honest Booktuber Tag

[@valeriedimilia6902]

I honestly love your channel 😊

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

Hi Gina, we have a lot of the same answers in this tag. We have to keep on being ourselves. I want to be the best version of myself but sometimes I fail. I love that. We both said we want to know which videos get views so we could do them. You are doing wonderfully my friend. Aloha MMM❤ PS thanks for shouting out my channel.

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

@@MarilynMayaMendoza thanks my friend!

Hi Gina. How is you cat? I had to laugh when you said you can't bring yourself to break the seal on that book. I have a very special Beatrix Potter book and was so greatful it was not sealed. I take it out once a year and go through it all then carefully put it back. I totally understand it!! Happy reading!

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

Hi Heidi, my cat is doing really well, thanks for asking! She finished up her meds and seems back to normal. The funny thing about this book seal is that it's really not anything special to me, I just can't bring myself to open it LOL.

[@missstarbuck]

great video :D I would love to see a video where you tell your 2/3 personal favorite books of every genre. So your 2/3 favorites from classics, romance, mystery etc. ☺

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

That's a great idea!

[@von20808]

You’re one of the coolest book tubers ever! I don’t miss any of your videos and if I don’t see you in a while I’ll rewatch some of your older videos. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

@@von20808 awwww! Thanks so much!

[@michellehyland3675]

Hi Gina. Keep being you. Don't mind them.

1. The lettuce thing, that just passed through my head as a hypothetical a day or so ago - I suppose one could use the KZbin feature to blur it out but that might look kind of weird. 2. It hurts me to see that sealed off book - hurts because I probably wouldn’t open it either. 😂

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

I need to find a used copy so I can read it!

[@apoetreadstowrite]

So happy to have discovered your channel. I've just done this tag myself, lots of fun, this BookTube is a wonderful lark. I struggle with the idea of cancel culture also. It's a pickle, isn't it? I wonder if women suffer more hate comments than men? Is it a gendered nastiness, I wonder? I really like your open, friendly tone of voice, intelligent and engaging. I really look forward to following your bookish adventures.

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

Thank you so much for the nice words. You made my day 😍

[@fernandamurari8577]

Great video! I had a fun time with it!

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

Thank you!

[@lisac1619]

Hi, Gina. A couple of years ago, I had to unfollow all the booktubers I watched because they were all so preachy and offended by everything. They would have been all for those "authors you should never read" lists. Nowadays, I only follow booktubers who read for the love of reading. I really enjoy your channel for that reason 😊

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

@@lisac1619 thanks Lisa. I appreciate that so much! 😍

[@katnissfire5605]

Hi Gina 👋 I enjoy your videos. 🙂📚🐈

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

@@katnissfire5605 thanks!

[@linbourne8731]

Not so much video content made to get views but sometimes I see the titles of videos that try to be sensational or controversial to draw people in...it has the opposite effect on me and I will avoid them. Often its like news headlines or news feeds and the content bears little resemblance to the heading. You are doing fine with your straightforward and honest title headings 😊

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

Thanks, I totally agree. I especially avoid the videos where someone is crying in the thumbnail LOL.

[@books_and_bocadillos]

🫶🏽. I love you and your channel!

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

You're the best!

[@eileennielsen5165]

I CANNOT BELIEVE so.done told you that you were disgusting!! I mean, I do because you said so, BUT, what a cruel thing to say. It has to be jealousy. You ARE NOT! I think you are a WONDERFUL woman, I like you asa FRIEND, I LOVE your channel I think you give GOOD reviews,you are KIND and LOVING ( ex: your father-in-law and sister). SO THERE! 🤗 Plus, you foster cats, which I could never do, just dogs. AND you didn't get mad at your cat for peeing on your books, your favorites! That's one GOOD woman!!!

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

Thank you my friend ❤️😻

[@938quilt]

the only channels I wish I could be more like are the cleaning channels LOL!

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

Lol!

[@booksimnotreading]

OH! If I only knew who that person was who called you something so uncharacteristic of you - I would block them! Is that S. with all the ephemera in it? Great video, as always. 💛

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

Thanks Kelly! Yes, it’s S.

[@booksimnotreading]

@@GinaStanyerBooks I read it when it first came out! It was a crazy experience. The ephemera was really interesting, but it was like reading three books at once!

[@938quilt]

wow you're one of the most easy going booktubers - never disgusting LOL!

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

Thank you!

[@spreadbookjoy]

Most of the videos that take off on my channel are ones I don't expect anything from and then the ones that do are out of the blue! No-one knows these things! Delete all insults - no that I get many but I just delete and block now!

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

Yep, I have no qualms about deleting and blocking. I’ve been pretty lucky about not getting weird comments though, thank goodness. 😍

[@JessBookgirlTV]

😃

[@punitavisvanathan]

Hi Gina 😊. I too don't really care about controversies about creatives, if I enjoy it then that's that. I just found a Miss Seeton book at my local pay less books called Witch 🧹 miss Seeton. Have you ever read Mary Higgins Clark? Have a great week🌞

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

I haven’t read any Mary Higgins Clark! I always thought her books would be too scary!
