Which booktubers do you reccomend?

Post by MsBrookeNicole »

As I was lurking through threads,I learned booktubers exist...I'd LOVE to watch some.

Who should I start with? I have such random taste in books. My favorite things to read are dystopian books, fluffy novels a la 'Confessions of a Shopaholic'/ 'Devil Wears Prada', some classics, non-fiction about social issues, and I also love biographies and memoirs.

I definitely recommend booksandquills:

She reads a lot of dystopian fiction and classics, so you should like her. She also has some interesting videos about translating/book in other languages (she's Dutch) if that interests you as well.

There's a guy with the screen name bandgeek followed by some numbers (I think it's 1408) he's reviewed quite a bit if dystopia books as well as classics

I like wordsofareader. She really sells her favourites. I have a shelf of PJ Wodehouse thanks to her!

thereadables is by far the best in my opinion. Her editing is amazing on so many levels, she also is fond of classics.


booksandquills Often strays from just booktube but still she makes her videos very informative without making me feel like I'm back in class.

Bookables is one of my favorites and so is theebookmonster


elizziebooks is one of the first and most prominent in the community.

I really like polandbananasBOOKS but she is an acquired taste.


missxrojas is pretty good to.

and a few others :

Also.. check out the channel ThugNotes. They upload short videos about the plot and analysis of classic books with comedy mixed in. Each one keeps getting better and better.

I'm a booktuber! But for more real booktubers,I would recommend Polandbabanabooks, she's a nutcase but so entertaining. Also, Elizziebooks, jessethereader,katytastic, ohcakey, thereadables, and allthesebooks. But my absolute favorite is renkellym. She's gorgeous in my opinion, and she's so articulate so she's easy to listen to.

I've completely stopped watching the larger booktubers just because it seems as if they are all posting the same content and the same books (I also like to read more than just YA)

My top favorites are...
Merphy Napier (she has literally recommended so many great books that end up being my favorites, she also reads library books!)
BooksWithEmilyFox (she reads all the genres and is not afraid about having an unpopular opinion)
WhittyNovels (I just love her vlogs)
Aimee Reads (has less than 1k followers but regularly posts and has great tastes)
HardBackHorder (reads tons of library books since she works at a library and she's super funny)

I really don't watch the big booktubers so my favourites are:

- bigalbooks
- Insert Literary Pun Here (though I think she just announced she was stopping her channel)
- For the love of classics
- books by leynes
- Books are my social life
- royaevereads
- diana in colour
- Ink and Paper Blog
- valerie - valereads
- Rachel Louise Atkin
- Wina Wonders
- OwlEyesReviews

I'm sure there are a ton more but these are who I can think of off the top of my head. Most of them do literary fiction, non-fiction about social issues/topics, and classics.

I really love Sarai Talks Books. I always wondered why she didn't have more subscribers (she's at 2.3k). She hasn't made a video since September, but I still see her active on Instagram so I hope she'll come back to booktube. This past weekend I was re-watching a bunch of her videos and they're just really good and unique, so if you're looking for someone's archive to go through I totally recommend her.

She did a shoutout at the beginning of the year of some smaller channels she watches ( and they're all good too although each with unique taste (Onyx Pages is one where I don't care about most of the books she talks about but I love listening to her talk anyway).

my fave booktubers atm are paperbackdreams, readwithcindy, booksandlala, peruseproject, jean bookishthoughts, bookslikewhoa, possibly literate, and squibblesreads! the last two haven't made a new video in a while (possibly literate in around 2 and a half months, squibblesreads in around 6) but i think they're both still fairly active on twitter and squibblesreads is blogging now.

Violet and the Never Ending TBR, Mel Interrupted (sadly she seems to be MIA these days), and Julia's Book Time. These are the only ones I follow, really.

I wanted to revive this topic because while there have been some cool recommendations in the general Booktubers thread, I feel like they're often drowned out by the other wild things going on. I'd love to learn more about people's favourites and why they like them, and I'd especially love to find smaller booktubers with potential too.

I've been enjoying louisa josephine as of late. She reads a good mix of classics, literary fiction, popular books, and lesser known titles. Recently she's read a lot of classic vampire books (that aren't just paranormal romance) and it's been nice to get her thoughts on those. While I primarily watch booktubers who focus on adult fantasy, I've been trying to find others who read a variety of work (because obviously I won't *always* be in the mood for some hard fantasy), and so far she's fit the bill.

I don't have much to add, but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on booktubers who do full reviews? I know Thoughts on Tomes does, but I'd like to add some variety!
