TIME TO MAKE SOME CHANGES! | A channel update...

Hey folks,
Today I'm going to talk through some changes I need to make to how I read and how I 'BookTube'! Lots of life changes on the horizon so I need to shake things up on the channel a little...
Thanks for watching, as always!

Good luck with the changes you are planning in your life. All of the adjustments you are planning for your channel certainly make sense and hopefully will help you feel less pressured. 😊

[@alex_unabridged]

Thanks, Pat 😊 Yep, fingers crossed the changes will help me chill out a bit with BookTube - I’m terrible for over-facing myself, I’m my own worst enemy!

Themed reading is really what helps me knock books and movies off my lists! TBRs can be so constraining so I see why you’re ditching them. Liberate yourself from the monthly wrap ups. Do whatever works for you! Hope these changes help you!!

[@alex_unabridged]

Cheers! Themes - absolutely, I really hope that’ll help me find the fun in clearing some of my pile of shame 😂 Am looking forward to mixing things up a bit 👍

[@mildrumpus]

Seems like it's the season...totally understand. Do whatever you need to do to find the happy balance between life and BookTube. Good luck with everything! 😎📚👍

[@alex_unabridged]

Thank you! ☺️ Am looking forward to mixing things up a bit, should be fun 😀

[@CliffsDarkGems]

Good luck with all your life changes mate! Sometimes shorter videos is better. I seldom watch videos longer then 20 minutes any more, have other priorities like family. Still love your channel, just keep it sharp, and to the point.

[@alex_unabridged]

Cheers, Cliff 😀 Yeah I struggle to watch a lot of stuff over 20 mins these days as well - am trying to watch lots of different folks within limited time available. We all have busy lives don’t we! I will aim to nail the art of ‘pith’ 😉

[@ITCamefromthePage]

Best of luck with the changes both in channel and life!

[@alex_unabridged]

Cheers, Andrew 👍😀

[@fiberartsyreads]

Good luck to you!!

Thanks Crystal 😊

Good thinking! I think that booktube, like so many things in life, is a journey. Periodically along the way it is good to evaluate and remap where you are going and how you are getting there. I especially like the idea of the vlog type posts. If you are feeling stressed, find another way...life is too short for self-induced anxiety. End of my sermon! Best of luck with your life changes. Thanks for all you add to the Booktube community 🙂

[@alex_unabridged]

Haha, good ‘sermon’! All very sound words 😊 BookTube has been a wonderful journey so far, and I’m eager to continue on with it, albeit taking a slightly different route! And as with any journey, it’s the people you meet along the way that make it memorable and worthwhile 😉 Thanks for your kind words and for the support, is very much appreciated 😊

[@pensivelyreading]

It’s been a while since I’ve checked in on your channel, and BookTube in general. The engagement thing can really be a challenge. “Chill out,” as you say, has been my theme all year. I wish you all the best with the changes/adjustments! I look forward to whatever you get up to in the future!

[@alex_unabridged]

Thanks for checking in, and great to hear from you! Hope you’re doing well 😀 Chilling out a bit more is definitely a good idea I reckon, re BookTube and life!

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

So glad we got our buddy read in for historathon before you bow out of the event 😊. I really enjoyed reading with you. Your changes make perfect sense. I hope all your life/career changes work out brilliantly. I’m so glad you are not leaving BookTube. I’d miss you dreadfully. Looking forward to the vlogs 😊. Good luck with everything.

[@alex_unabridged]

Aye, me too! I loved our buddy read 😊 Am always up for another one at some point, I’m sure we can find some fiction we both want to try! Definitely sticking around on BookTube! I’d miss it all too much to leave, not least the fab folks like yourself that I’ve met through being part of this excellent community!

[@MichaelRomeoTalksBooks]

In all of this the piece that makes me happy is that you are remaining on Booktube.

[@alex_unabridged]

Thank you, Michael 😊

When you first presented your subject matter, I had this hysterical hope that this would be, like, a three-hour video. I have a weird sense of humor. Have fun with your new approach!

[@alex_unabridged]

😂 Three hours! I know I can talk but that’s probably pushing my limits! Tho it probably would be form for me to make a super long video about how I’m trying to cut down my run-time…
