Oh my goodness, you are too kind!!! I have been a fan of your channel for a while and can’t believe you watch mine! Thank you so much for the shout out!!! It means a lot and I really appreciate that you take the time to help lesser known channels grow. Also, I LOVE your sweater!!!!
I'm honestly near happy tears now! Thank you so much for shouting me out. It means so much to hear such encouraging and kind words, especially from one of my favorite booktubers. I've watched this video in past years and found wonderful people to follow. Your recommendations videos exhibit so much care and research. It's truly inspiring. Thanks again for the shout-out and all that you do for booktube 🥰
omg this is such a lovely suprise - I was wondering where all the new people where coming from !! Thank you for your kind words & for reminding me of how lovely this community can be (it can feel a bit disconnected sometimes!). Intrigued to see how our reading overlaps as I continue on my journey to ‘recovery’ haha
OMG! Thanks so much for the shoutout! Wild hearing someone accurately describe our dynamic back to us! We are so thankful for you and your kind words. We were also pleasantly surprised by the increased activity this morning. Continually grateful for this amazing community.
This is so exciting! I’ve been watching your channel since I started mine and absolutely love it. You’ve inspired me to read more nonfiction again and I love your thorough descriptions of the books you read. I can tell how passionate you are about books and content creation. I cried happy tears when I watched and heard the lovely things you said about my channel. I wondered why I got so many subscribers today and then saw a comment from someone who said she came from you. I’m blown away by your generosity to smaller content creators like me. And thanks for giving me so many new channels to dive into!
Nonfiction November content was my gateway into Booktube, so it feels a bit full circle to be shouted out here!! 🥰 I strive for half the eloquence you have in your wrap ups and reviews, thanks so much for being a pillar of the Booktube community (esp. us on the nonfiction side)! Your words are so kind (I blushed very hard in real life!) and all the other channels look great - I hadn't heard of half of them, but they all sound so interesting and if they have overlap with your taste, I'm sure they will with mine!!
I'm so glad you made this! Many of my favorite BookTubers have slowed down or stepped away and I've been looking for new accounts to follow, not entirely successfully on my own. I will check these out!
I can’t believe I’ve been following you for as long as I have and haven’t subscribed yet! That’s changing today. I love your recommendations and generally add at least one new book to my ever growing TBR each watch. I’m basically an exclusively non-fiction reader-- but all over the map in terms of subject.
These are some of my favorite videos of yours to watch! I've discovered so many channels I love and it inspired me to start my own channel. LaRosa reads was one of my favorite recommendations from a previous video!
I thought you would like to know how I use your recommendations. I have a friend who has 3 grandchildren. As a gift to her, I combine one of your recommendations with a children's book. For example, I gave her The Penguin Lessons paired with My Popper's Penguins (for the kids). So fun!
I love this list. I'm always looking for more older book reviewers especially, but the only Gen X reviewers I can find are men. While I do follow them, it'd be nice to have more older woman energy.
I love your booktuber recommendations and can't wait to check these creators! I've recently started my own booktube channel and am always looking to connect to other new channels. Thanks again Olive, I've been a sub of yours for years! ❣
Wonderful recommendations! I am already following several of the channels you mentioned, but I will visit and subscribe to the ones I missed. Thanks! 😎📚👍
Thanks Olive for introducing us to these wonderful BookTubers! You have an amazing generosity of spirit! Also, wondering if you have encountered Rosamunde Bott. She is a BookTuber, author, and genealogist. She focuses on the classics and historical works. She also chooses books that are appropriate for the season. She has a cozy and warm style but she may not be everyone’s cup of ☕️🫖. Have a great week! 💜
Great list of people Olive. Will look some of them up. I have also been doing a challenge called World From My Armchair where I am trying to read a non-fiction travel book set in or passes through every country, ocean and sea in the world.
Thank you for recommendations! I wish there were more people who only read non-fic and literary fiction with very seldom appearance of genre fiction like mystery, thriller and sci-fi. these types of channels are the hardest to find. Mostly people prefer romance and fantasy which is not my cup of soup at all
Holy smokes, Olive! Your incredibly generous words just made my day! Thank you so much for the shout out. I adore your channel, so this is blowing me away. Thank you!!
And I love several of these other channels you mentioned, too! Gretchen is a gem!! And I can't wait to check out these other channels as well. Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh thank goodness you knew who I was before this! 😂 I worry when these videos come out and the people I shout out suddenly get all these new subs that they have a moment of panic like...WHERE ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE COMING FROM AND WHO IS THIS OLIVE PERSON? But truly, it's my pleasure! Keep up the amazing work 💗
LOVE sierra and jon! ❤ Just subscribed to Smiti! Oh, Olive 🥹 I hope that is exactly what happens when viewers find me. Thank you for the shoutout.🫠 I have been watching Gretchen for only a month - she’s so upbeat. Yay! Sarah has been amazing! Audrey is one of my favorites! I’ve been with her since the beginning ♥️
I'm going to check out the indie booktuber for unusual reads that I might have missed and Audrey since you said that her reading style is what most aligns with yours . Thank you!
I’ve tried Deea and love her reading style but I can never hear her voice! I turn the volume up to 50 on the tv and she talks so quietly and slowly- it’s difficult.
Hello Olive. I will be giving you a follow up 😁 I subscribed to all ten. I liked your criteria -- I would add 20 mins or less routinely. Ironic or coincidence -- I was unsubscribing when your vid came up 🤗
