The
BookTube Your Shelf Daily Reader turns one year old this March. [Cue
the party music!] The time has flown by so quickly. My to-be-read
list has expanded even faster. As a reader, you know that is both a
good and bad thing. LOL!
YouTube
for the Bookish?
YouTube.com
is the second most visited website in the world - where over 1.9
billion logged-in users visit each month. And each day, people watch
over a billion hours of video and generate billions of views. While
many people are aware of the music videos, make-up channels and
gaming channels on the platform, far fewer know about the great
bookish content available on YouTube. BookTube is a community of
content creators on YouTube that film videos about books. The
BookTube Your Shelf Daily Reader is a daily online newspaper
featuring social shares from booktubers (including authortubers) and
some bookish neighbors (like bloggers and readers). Are you familiar
with BookTube?
Once
Upon A Time...
Between
changes in YouTube's algorithm and my book reading taste, it was a
struggle for me to keep up with my favorite booktubers and keep
a look-out for new booktubers. I knew many other fans of BookTube
were having similar problems.
When
YouTube changed it's monetization rules in early 2018, many people,
including myself, worried about it's overall impact on small content
creators. As I looked at my personal BookTube channel list, I
thought, "What can I do to help support and encourage bookish
content creators?" Then poof! The idea for The BookTube Your
Shelf Daily Reader popped into my head. [Yes, with a poof]. What
started out as an idea in March of 2018 has morphed into a passion
project with an online newspaper and email newsletter.
Find
Your Next Favorite...
One
of the goals of The BookTube Your Shelf Daily Reader project is to
help you find your next favorite booktuber. Check out the Videos
section of TBYSDR for suggestions on bookish YouTube videos to watch.

Chapters through life
I'm not sure if I do or not. I watch a lot of videos and look up stuff when it comes to specifically wanting to know at a time. So, my answer is maybe, but I'd love to know more about all that and maybe know what are yours?
ReplyDeleteIt's new to me. First I have heard of it.
ReplyDeleteI have watched a few book videos. The one that I really remember was a video for the book "Arsen". In general, though, I don't watch those types of videos & I don't follow accounts that have to do with book stuff on youtube.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a cool item to have around.
ReplyDeleteI watch the Book Tube videos from Rissi at Finding Wonderland.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch many book videos on youtube.. I mainly just read books, but I am going to check out The BookTube Your Shelf Daily Reader now that I know about it :)
ReplyDeleteI think I have watched like 5 on youtube. I just read about it on sites like this. I think I will check it out to!
ReplyDeleteI don't really.
ReplyDeleteI have not watched book tube channels
ReplyDeleteNo, I do not watch book related videos on you tube and I have not checked the latest.
ReplyDeleteI watch a lot of reading videos on Youtube. My favorites are book hauls.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of bookings before this post so no I have never watched any before but I will be checking it out thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI wacth different things on Youtube. Monster Men is a fun one where two authors chat up horror books and movies.

ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this until now.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched any book related YouTube videos and I've never heard of BookTube.
ReplyDeletedo not watch youtube
ReplyDeleteI follow a lot of authors on YouTube, and I find that the characters in the books come alive when watching the videos.. It gives you the idea of what the author imagined characters looking like, background, personality, etc.. It actually helps to see if you actually want to read the book.
ReplyDeleteI have never even thought about watching book videos on youtube. I guess I am out of the loop on that one.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any book videos before.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched any book videos.

ReplyDeleteNo! I did not know this was a thing. I'm all about it though!
ReplyDeleteNo, I do not watch book related videos on you tube. I simply don't have the time. I do well to read more than one page at a time unless it is on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched too many book-related videos on YouTube at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch too many book related videos but sometimes I enjoy watching bloggers talk about some of teh books they've read recently!
