jim's books reading & stuff
Georgia
Приєднався 1 чер 2006
Hello, I'm Jim, an Englishman living in Georgia (საქართველო) , the country not the state. Since 20 September 2020, this channel is primarily for longform videos related to books: reviews, hauls, TBRs, readathons etc...
My main longform content will be talking about books & reading & stuff and engaging with the Booktube community.
I have loved reading from an early age, this channel relates to my love of reading and bookish stuff.
Usually I put Booktube videos out on Sundays and Tuesdays or Wednesdays at 8pm Tbilisi time, 5pm UK time, noon Eastern, 9am Pacific. I post one minute reviews of the books I read.
With shorts I am experimenting with different random subjects like urban fishing, the Tbilisi metro, random books from the shelf, 360 degree views of Tbilisi. Shorts might be posted any time.
Follow me on Goodreads, Twitter, Instagram etc... (links below)
I always answer questions and comments.

Poetry Thursday: An Apple Gathering by Christina Rossetti #victober
Переглядів 92 години тому
As it is still #victober, a month in which we celebrate Georgian Literature, I have selected another Victorian poet, Christina Rossetti, sister of the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The Apple Gathering was written in 1857 and published in 1862. Ross Wilson talks about the critical reception of Christina Rossetti here: ua-cam.com/video/REBNsad2Xq0/v-deo.html #poetrythursday 0:00 Intro 1:38 Poem...

Let's talk about Celebrity Book Clubs
Переглядів 379 годин тому
A slew of celebrity-run book clubs have popped up, serving to nurture our literary appetite without the high pressures of committing to a formal reading group. Are celebrity book clubs good for book sales? Do you read a book because a celebrity has recommended it? This video was inspired by a chat I saw on Richard Osman and Marina Hyde's podcast: ua-cam.com/video/4k_KNjSfH7s/v-deo.htmlsi=OZhabq...

Ten Before the End #TenBeforeTheEnd
Переглядів 11916 годин тому
The idea of "Ten before the end" is as we approach the end of the year we look through our shelves and our kindles to find 10 books we want to read before the year is up. I saw this idea on Angelia @readandre-read 's channel: ua-cam.com/video/WaZeEqsw-Oo/v-deo.htmlsi=shiaF6Elw1DaEh8P I also saw that Melinda @awebofstories had also done this and Jack Edwards did this last year.
