I appreciate that you mentioned the Bible and Christianity briefly. I think a lot of UA-camrs shy away from it even though it's encouraging to know other people are also religious on the platform
The answers to questions I didn't know I had 😂 As someone who's been reading well over 100 hundred books a year for a while now . . . I feel attacked 😂 Great video!
@@OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels What's hard to believe for me as a consumer isn't that you could read 100 years a book (there was a time in my life where i read 500+ pages/day on average, so I topped this number by a wide margin), but that you could do that and still release quality videos on youtube on a regular basis. This said I also don't really care about the number of books someone reads, so if they really can do that, awesome, but if they cheat a bit with that number and I like the videos they are doing, I don't really mind them overselling
Never said booktube isn't collaborative :) I frequently collaborate with other booktubers which I love to do. I was just stating that fact that there are thousands of creators posting weekly which makes it competitive and hard to be seen.
I think the one question that gave me a bit of a pause was the question if UA-cam ruins reading. Not because I believe that (I love how many younger people started reading because of booktube and booktok) but because there's this tendency to jump on the bandwagon of every hype going around because of the clicks you can create with it. Which leads to everyone talking about Fourth Wing and the Iron Flame instead of the actual quality stuff like Tad Williams or Robin Hobb. Again, I don't think that ruins reading, but I think it makes it harder for the authors that write at a high level with great characters, great world-building, great storytelling AND great prose to be seen which is kind of a shame. Case in point, I just finished Nebula and World Fantasy award nominated Wole Talabi's Shigidi and the Brass Head of Olubafon (absolute fantastic read, btw.) and when I just went out and di a little search, I had a really hard time finding someone who had at least a few thousand followers reading about it. I would love to see books like this getting more promotion on booktube instead of the mainstream stuff I get shown over and over again by basically everyone creating in that niche. On the other hand, and contradicting myself a bit here, I also would never have stumbled about a few amazing authors like Philip Chase, if not for booktube, so there's that.
Well, darn. I'm doing something wrong. I created a booktube channel to ruin reading. Thanks for killing my dreams, Johann. Because of that, I no longer call you the hottest booktuber.
This was an amazing video. I loved hearing about all your experiences in booktube. But, a real quick tip to most new booktubers like me- You need a computer to see people’s emails in their about me. It does not work on mobile. Believe me- I learned it the hard way. PS: also, how do you have so many amazing video ideas. ai really don’t think it’s fair.
I guess it mostly depends on what you prefer. There are pros and cons to each of them: on one hand, hardcovers are more durable, on the other hand, paperbacks are more portable. For those who need glasses to read, hardcovers have bigger fonts and paperbacks have smaller fonts. Sorry, I know I didn't give you a definitive answer 🤷
Tales foundry is a different kind of booktube channel, and the creator's face is not shown. I think given that type of content it doesn't hurt it to be anonymous like that.
Hyperion!! Dan Simmons is excellent at whatever genre he tackles but Hyperion has to be one of his best. Any plans to read the rest of the Hyperion series? (Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, Rise of Endymion)
Seems like you decided to settle in the English city the furthest away from your Faroe Islands 🙂 Is your wife from there or why did you decide to settle down there?
Great video! I read about 100 books a year, work full-time and have a child. But I always tell people that reading is my main hobby and I'm a very fast reader. People don't discuss about how fast or slow they read when they read high numbers.
About reading 100 boks a year: Myself, not a BookTuber, will get up to a hundred books at the end of this month. It really isn't impossible, it is just about what you like to do. Personally, I don't watch TV almost at all, so that leaves me with a lot of free time. PS. About space at home - not at all, as most of the books I get from the library in my home area, i.e. the greater Helsinki region.
Great vid as always😂
Book tubers have made me realize I'm not a freak. Everyone has always acted like I'm a weirdo because I'd rather read than watch TV
Haha love that!
Books have been around for centuries before TV. If anything they are the weirdos lol.
You don’t need that negativity in your life

Trans rights are human rights
Yeah, absolutely
Man, I love that you made a bootube version of this. This was awesome 👏
Thanks, David!
"Is booktube a good way to make money?"
LOL

Haha! I envy your reading speed!
@@libraryofaviking it's not speed, I just have too much free time unfortunately 😂

I want to read Jack Edward's response to being called the most handsome man in booktube!
This was awesome!
Thank you!
You definitely increased the standard of content 😂😂 which must be awesome to contribute to
Honestly if you think Booktube is competitive, you’re doing it wrong. Booktube is collaborative. The rising tide raises all boats mate.

@@libraryofaviking that's why I post 5 days a week, it's a numbers game #grindtuber 😎
@@SamHarrison2099 Best luck on the grind! 👊
most famous booktuber is Haley Pham
All big booktubers are ££££
Hahaha what a great idea for a video Johann. I loved it!
Thank you, Kimmy!
Such a fun video!
Ed
Excellent idea for a video!
Glad you enjoyed it

Cool idea! Loved this video :)

Hi 👋 fun video 🎥🌿🍃🍁

Loved this format 😍
@@valliyarnl Thank you!
Don’t worry, you are the hottest booktuber according your fans. 😂😂 I just laughed on the question remembering the funny comments you have.
@@nazimelmardi hahahaha

Great video. But who is the BookTuber with the best hair?
I’m relatively new to all this but Is it worth always going hardcover as opposed to paperback

Haley pham has 3.3 million subscribers and she's largely booktube
funny, I had never even heard of her/seen her! Amazing that so many channels are "hidden" from us.

Sheeeeesh well done
"The Bible is a book I read every single day" Subscribed.
Jack Edwards is not the the channel with the most subscribers, that title belongs to Haley Pham has 3.3 million subscribers.
This was an awesome video man! Loved this idea
BookTubers usually are not toxic. AuthorTube is a whole different story, however.
Really?
