I know rant reviews have a bad reputation for just being negative, but I like your reviews because when you rant you explain why the book bothers you, personally, and not why it would bother everyone. You're keenly aware that not all books are for everyone and some people will like the books you rant about... but that doesn't mean those books can't be (and shouldn't be) put through the Rachel Grinder™
“madi” “laughs” 😂😂 it’s been ages since i’ve done a tag let’s go
Ack. The part about motherhood and being the best mom being your whole life and needing something for yourself got me right in my rusty feels. I’m not crying, you’re crying!
But literally it probably is me crying all I do is cry IM A MOM
@@ReadswithRachel the ingredients of motherhood: tears and the constant struggle against nonconsensual coparenting with bigots.
I discovered the booktube community during some of the lockdowns, when I was burnt out to hell and back and my mental health was MIA. I first found Jack Edwards, and then Rachel and Emily Fox. I started reading again (after a 5 year break) in 2021 thanks to booktube.
"Do you even like anything that you read?" I honestly have added so many books to my to read list because of books that you recommend!
So much this! Especially during the rant reviews, because it's never 'this book sucks' it's 'this book didn't do this concept well, and here's one that did!'
Booknet fest tickets were purchased this past weekend!!
LOVE TO SEE IT
I only recently discovered this channel, around the end of last year or so, but I have perused other booktubers though none had ever really captured my frequent interest. I mostly just went from one to another without sticking around, but with this channel I just can’t get enough. I’m not quite sure what it is that captivates me but I love it and wish I had found this channel years ago. So, thank you for recording and uploading these (as well as editing, I know that can be hard work), not only are they highly entertaining but also very informative and helpful to both reader and writer.
congratulations on the status. 5 years is a lot and happened to be my favorite number, so that's a cool coincidence. I'm sure you've got a lot that you could tell the younger generations of booktubers.
I really appreciated the deep dive you did on Cassandra Clare. You worked super hard on that and it was great.
I appreciate that!
You're my firsy booktube person, and since following you, I've followed so many others and booktube is now my favorite genre to watch
After I started following you, I went back through all of your videos and I loved witnessing you get more comfortable and confident in your reviews and other topics. I also love getting to know your lovely family.
Tuning in again! I've been here for 5 years too and it's wild.
thank you for the tag and I like your hair like this! (insert old person emoji)
Congratulations Rachel!! Thank you for making UA-cam a better place ❤ I’m so glad I found you!!
I don’t know if this will mean anything to you, but my younger brother has autism, adhd, and had major behavioral issues as a younger kid. It really does get better, especially once you get the diagnosis because that leads to appropriate treatment. I won’t say it’s an easy road, but you being there and advocating for your child and listening to them makes this journey move forward. Best of luck!
Also PS- again I don’t know if this will mean anything to you because I’m a stranger on the internet, but the small ways we see you interact with your kids are beautiful.
👵🏾how did you get over fear of showing your face online (if you ever had that) the few videos on my tt with my face I’m like Omg omg I hate it 😭
I found your account when I got back into reading and your videos and discourse are a part of what inspired me to start a bookstagram! I made my job my whole identity and then when I left that job I felt lost. Everything including friends were because of the job and I didn’t know who I was anymore. I absolutely love the bookish community I found and am very thankful! Thank you for all of the book recommendations 💕
Wow, thank you for sharing this with me 🥹❤️😭
Congrats on 5 years! You might be my first booktube channel??? I started reading again last year after many years in a reading slump. And bookrants are fun for me coz it satisfies my curiosity about a (usually) popular book while validating my aversion to reading them. But also helps me analyze books better. And since I think we have similar tastes, I did binge your positive reviews as well lol.
Congrats again👵
i know u were a grownass woman already but god. ur old vids just have those "baby rachel" vibes. precious!!!
Congratulations on 5 years ❤❤
Thanks Ro! So glad to have met you in these last five years ❤️🥹
@@ReadswithRachel 🥰🥰🫶
I read Furyborn thanks to your suggestion and absolutely loved it. It did a trope I hate so well I still gave the series 5 stars. Off to Illumicrate 😂 And congrats on being booktube old. ❤ Your videos are always great.
YAYYYY FURYBORN FAN!!!! I’m so happy to hear this ❤️
Been loving your videos for months now. Thanks to you I looked up events happening locally for me and found an indie author con in August. Hopefully it'll be a fun time for me
To moment, I have the time, money and opportunity I will go to the Booknet fest. (Just have to fly in from Germany 😅)
Hi Rachel!!! As someone who watched you for a long time than you for your videos and everything that your doing!!
Now waiting for the 10 year channel birthday!! 🧓
I discovered you through our mutual loathing of Caraval, but I've also read several great books that you've recommended! I absolutely adored Little Thieves.
This was such a sweet video! I actually found you through one of your Authors Behaving Badly videos (I believe it was the one about Cassandra Clare) and have loved every one of your videos whether you’re ranting about bad authors, books you hate, books you love, or book banning! You and your videos never disappoint, and I’ve even gone back and rewatched so many of them! 📚💕
My first booktube video was Emily Fox's June or July 2017 wrapup so I've been here as a viewer for almost seven years
Omg you’re a veteran!
I've been watching various booktubers for years, as early as 2017. You and SarawithoutanH are my most recent subs. I love how real you are with your reviews and how funny you are as well. I read Psalm of the Wild Built thanks to you and fell in love with it.
ive been watching reads with rachel for a year !!
its been a year since April 2023.
I would love more videos with your kid talking about books. That last one was adorable.
Also, I just want to say Thank you for this channel❤ I found you recently through Don't Fret. I'm fairly new to booktube, have been a lifelong reader, and have spent months looking around youtube for book channels I relate to. And I found you! The wonderful mix of books for entertainment and books for social justice❤❤❤ Where I live in California is very conservative, we're dealing with book banning at the County Public Library level and it's not going well. It sounds similar to what you're dealing with there in Florida. It's infuriating and actually scary.
One of the first videos of yours I watched was your trip to DC, and it just made me feel not so alone. I just thought "Finally THIS is the side of booktube I've been looking for"
So thank you!! And now through you, I'm finding other channels that I enjoy. Not to mention your book recs are also what I've been looking for. Anyhoo, sorry for rambling😊
Ong this was so incredibly nice! I’m so thankful you’re here and that D led you here, he is such a joy.
I’m so frustrated you’re dealing with book banning in your county. Solidarity ❤️
I am so glad you're in the bookish community and that I stumbled on your channel. Also why should you do ABB? Because I love your snark and sass, my dear. 🖤
We'll see about Booknet Fest...
I haven't been around long enough to do this tag lol but I'm glad you did! 🧓
🧓🏾🧓🏾🧓🏾I kinda want to do this tag, but I don't feel "old" enough just yet (nearly 2 years!). I will keep this tag in mind in a few more years.
loved this!
You can thank Cassandra Clare for me being here.
I found that video over a year ago and have stuck around since.
But I find the commentary that is in these videos just amazing and bonkers.
But I love the book reviews as well.
i always knew that booktube was a thing and occasionally watched some if they came in my recs, but i have started watching them more regulary, and i like listening to them and books i never heard of, don't have money to buy my own books rn, but maybe i'll read some of them someday from the libary
Absolutely adore the library. I use Libby and hoopla through my library, that’s where 50% of my reads come from
Happy 5 years! 🎉
Oh BNF has a pool?? Nvm i don’t swim 😅
Happy 5 years! I'm glad you're here!
I just gave a copy of Assassination Classroom to one of my niblings because of your recommendation. 😊
That's awesome! I’m so happy to hear this!!
I would love to see more videos with your Nameless Faceless kid :) I think it was refreshing and cute. I've been watching less booktube lately but those videos are unique and sweet
Omg I’m so glad to hear this! He just got some stuff from the library, he’s wanting to come back on soon to chat about it
I have a blog, that I started after my son was born in 2012. I've been kicking around the idea of starting a channel for about a year, but I am an awkward potato and that makes me nervous to start.
Edit: I am a dusty skeleton, if you're old. I just turned 38 last month. 💀
Rachel, you've been my favourite Booktuber since I found your channel!! I adore your content and I'm so, so glad you're making videos and reading books and I'm very happy for you, to get to do this job and to get to do it in a way that brings you happiness! Thanks for doing the work that you do, both within social issue and book banning spaces, as well as just being a fun and entertaining content creator. Looking forward to seeing how your channel grows in the future. 🧓
Algorithm got me here because of your rant reviews, but your personality kept me here for all you do!
I'm so glad to hear that Monster wants to come back on the channel 🥹 i loved his take on people challenging Captain Underpants, it's my brother's fav series!!!
Am I in the community? I don’t know. I cover books, their adaptations and history about the 2. My core audience love the movie part more than books and my book reviews are few and far between.
That being said. I subscribed to you over a year ago and still around. Love your work promoting reading in Florida.
Funnily enough I started in a different part of the the bookish community about... 8 years ago? Around the part of Merphy Nepier, Hello Future Me, Tale Foundery, Philip Chase (he's a newer one for me before I came to your neck of the woods), Unpopular Book Club, and Gavin Reads it All. (I don't watch Daniel Greene anymore because I was starting to get a bit put off by some of his content, he got replaced by you I believe is where I started over this area.) I was introduced to you, Bookish Realms, Jess Owns, Elliot Brooks, lou reading things, and mynameismarines by my aunt about around 2022. xD So I've been around for a while but still rather newist to this part of booktube. (I just discovered Bookish Realms have been around for 10 years, so she's in the OG realm of UA-cam at this rate).
I think you may actually really like watching Gavin Reads it All (he just seprated his manga content to a new channel because it wasn't working for how his content is like and he set it up before his big move he's been setting up for.) because he's pretty cozy to watch and doesn't try to be perfect in everything he does. Tale Foundery is a bit more like an Essay about story telling and books, same with Hello Future Me and Unpopular Book Club. So not sure if you're intrested in that area, as they're not as sassy as Overly Sarcastic Productions (Well Unpopular Book Club is sassy but the other two aren't). Philip Chase may also a fun watch on a more educational level as he's a professor for viking lit and he goes into books a little differently than some others would and talks about themes and if those themes are handle correctly within the book. But mostly these are suggestions and it may be a fun conversation in the future of how some areas don't exactly overlap within the booktube community.
I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥹
👵🏻 I am also in my 30s like you Rachel, so please don't say you feel old haha. We are still young gdi! Anyway, I've been in the book community, whether as a watcher or as a creator, hm I think since 2017 or 2018. I rarely make videos anymore, but I certainly watch my favorite booktubers like you on the daily. =)
Look at Baby Rachel!
👵🏼 this was great. I love your videos when you're talking about books you love.
Yay, thank you!
girl you are not saying 2019 was 5 years ago. it was only 2 years ago…three at most.
I watch both Cindy and Shelley content about authors behaving badly but, while each has their own things I think yours are the most, mmm, complete? I enjoy them a lot, but if you don't find them joyful it's ok.
Good news is I have one in the works🤣 I’m glad you like them!
Does booknetfest have a place for authors with a new idea bouce it off of people? I have had an idea for a book in my head for YEARS but i struggle to make the world make sense #old person lol!
i really still need to read 'an ember in the ashes' which is a series you rave about so i need to hop to it 👵🏻
YESSS JOIN US I’m rereading it right now
Keep it up
OLD
OOOOOOOOLD
Tucker Reed is getting released at the end of the year. Are you gonna do a video to commemorate that?
Nope I’m good lol
🧓👴👵 ❤ Congrats on 5 years!!
5 years is teenage/early 20s 😂 I wouldn’t call that old
Weeeeeee 🎉 video novo 🎉🎉🎉
I don't think of myself as "old." I like to think that I'm actually a UA-cam curmudgeon that yells at all the whipper-snappers I see doing stupid dance trends for clout.
GET OFF MY LAWN!
👵
🧓
Congrats on your status as a Booktube Old
Thank you!! 😊
👵🏻
lol 👴🏻
Do you even like anything you read? 👵🔪🔪🔪
i've been watching booktube for almost 10 years now and always wanted to make content but go back and forth between wanting to be on the internet and wanting to never be perceived ever again haha
something about early booktube that im glad has changed (or maybe just my specific niche has changed) is honest reviews. it was way too common to see someone read a lot of books and say they were all good everything is great !! then i pick it up and it's literally a flaming pile of garbage (im looking at you, caraval). in fact i think thats what initially brought me to ur channel is the caraval vid and honesty
from a consumer standpoint i think your positive videos dont do as well might be because people will then want to read the book and want to avoid spoilers. at least that's the case for me haha but with negative reviews people want to be saved from reading a bad book
ive been finding myself writing paragraphs under your vids lately so imma just excuse myself haha thanks for sharing your passions on the internet!!!! ❤🧓🏻
