This is the youtube channel for Gareth Howells - originally for his songwriting videos that were separate from the Bemis output (Bemis being the band he has led since 2006) - but more recently, the channel has been mainly taken over by booktube book reviews and other videos associated with books.
As well as being an active and slightly obsessive reader, he is also now a self-published author of poetry, short stories and two novels. The Bemis account has many other videos on it, that showcase what the band do - this is the link for that: ua-cam.com/users/bemisuk
If you’d like to get in touch please email me at negnec@yahoo.co.uk - I’d love to hear from you.
Please share the videos and comment in the comment section below - and subscribe for updates.
Thanks!

70 books that I Want To Read Before I Am 70
This is a video that lists 70 books that I would like to read before I reach the scary age of 70 - which is only a measly 16 years away!
So I feel the pressure to get these books read before I reach that crumbly age.
Please comment below on the book choices - there's quite a variety there, so I'd be interested in hearing which ones spark a bit of interest.
Thanks for watching!

Recommendations for 32 Different Book Genres @AaronReadABook
Переглядів 3189 годин тому
This is an idea I stole from Aaron from @AaronReadABook , which in turn was an idea that he stole from Keri from @BookishAdventuresInWellbeing - with my version I got a bit excited and covered 32 genres - they're not all genres of course....so there needs to be inverted commas put in for the word "genre". Clearly "book series" is not a genre.....but it's a good word to summarise the spirit of t...
