she’s put out an all of my unread books video which Becca does every year and sure others probs do but it was her saying it’ll be for a square on her bookopoly. Same as becca ffs 🤣
oh wow yeah so blatant it’s embarrassing. I still can’t believe she just fully took bookopoly, has she no shame? I also find her and jade’s friendship a bit cringe.

omg same! Especially how she just seems to take on jades personality. Liking all her favourite books. I swear she didn’t even read fantasy before.

and the nicknames ‘ratbags’ and ‘fanny’ are so forced. And when they’re on lives together they have to make a point that they’re REALLY GOOD FRIENDS.
Oh and a lot of booktubers are like this but I notice it about this group in particular - esp jade and Steph. They’re like ‘oh I feel like tit today’ and then all they do is drink energy drinks, get takeaway and stay up til 4am. It’s no wonder you don’t feel good..

Does Steph Loves just copy everything Becca & the books does? How are they even friends?
My first post so I’m not sure if it’s been discussed but is Steph always so miserable? I don’t think I’ve even seen her smile in any video also she’s just really boring I don’t know how she has so many followers.

I mostly read crime fiction and horror and it's actually really difficult to find good booktubers who don't read a ton of YA. I'm 36 I don't want to be reading the books I'd have read at 14.
I just found one called Chapter and Converse.. she also mentions someone called Abby with a channel that sounded like Crime By The books.. hth

The more of Hayley in Bookland's Bookmas I watch, the clearer it seems that she just doesn't have the heart for book tubing and making videos anymore. These are all pretty chaotic and not in a good way.

Yeah I’ve felt that way about her bookmas videos for a couple of years now. I think I’ve only watched a couple this year because they just don’t interest me a lot :/ and I usually only watch her vlogs and recent reads anyway

agreed. She’s clearly just in it for the money and the higher CPM in December.

I know 31 videos is a lot but the quality of them has been pretty shocking.

If anyone else is looking for non-YA booktubers I've found the following recently and been enjoying hearing about more contemporary lit, classics, some nonfiction, translated lit, etc:

GK Reads
Rebecca Eats Books
CJ reads
So I read this book
Literary Iggy
Carolyn H Hampsey

It's just another side of booktube that I didn't know existed until recently and matches my reading tastes well so I thought I'd share! (Also would love to discuss any of them if anyone already watches)

This rubbed me the wrong way. "Children, you have spoiled a 20 year old book and now Santa won't come".

I do think that leaving spoilers on posts is rude and I wouldn't do it myself, but isn't this just an occupational hazard?

Ditto this... all my faves there also Ben Green, Jaylen at The Bar and The BookCase and Hannah May. More than happy to chat with you about them...

That book is way overrated any way.. basically lesbian soft porn.. I don't get the hype unless you are of that community.

PS I thought he had his dms turned off

Can't stand Fingersmith, I'd be made up to have been spoilered for it so I didn't have to bother.

I mean it's not a cool thing to do but the fact that he's fully announced this is hilarious. I loved Fingersmith as a book and a reading experience so like, I sympathise but just don't mention it then? Does anyone know what the hints were/which post they're on?

Oh yes I like Ben Green too! I tried Hannah May but something about her rubbed me the wrong way. Unfortunately I think it was mostly her voice which is obviously not her fault.

Know how you feel. It does get to me at times.. I have to slot her videos in specific programming.. it is a rather whiny and moany tone /monotone which is often the tone of her videos. I do like her though aside from the constant health stuff... which is not her fault. I do feel for her as she's only young. Shedoes read a lot of good stuff that I've never heard of elsewhere

Idk I’d be really annoyed too, it sucks when people talk in a hint hint way, so they think it’s not “technically” a spoiler but really it is cause you can make it out from context or whatever. He’s not my fave but I’m with him on this one 😆

I agree it's annoying but he's literally having a tantrum and making his followers feel responsible for his mood. I'd feel worse for him if he'd just been like "that's not cool, I'm going to read something else" but it's multiple stories like "WELL now I'm in a BAD MOOD and I'm NOT going to read it anymore because of SOME OF YOU". Grow up.
