I can't stand alerts either. Other than RU-vid, and Snapchat if that counts, I have no social media. Even so, all RU-vid alerts OFF for sure. Very much looking forward to more from you. Lit is an interest I don't spend enough time on, as much as I'd like. I don't read like I used to, but I still love hearing about it.
Welcome to Booktube! I am so glad that you decided to start this channel and the most important thing to know is that this is YOUR channel, meaning you should make this the channel you want it to be. Do not feel that you need to increase your use of social media or meet a certain standard, because you do not. You only need to be happy with what this community has to offer and having participated for 8 years in the Booktube community and releasing content for nearly 9 years, I have been very happy with the experiences and interactions that I have had in the Booktube community. I believe you are the first Booktuber from Venezuela that I have come across and am happy to see that you are studying literature and that your range of interests is broad and eclectic. I have acquired a nice amount of fairy tales, folktales, myths, and legends into my book collection and would like to read more. When I discuss works of this nature, I prefer to discuss individual pieces rather than the collection at large. I am really eager to see what you have in store and what you choose to talk about on your channel! All the best! -Josh
Thank you for your advice, Josh! Knowing I don't need to push myself to meet certain standards is reassuring. I have never cared much for popularity. All I want is to talk about books. I am also a huge fan of myths, legends, and folktales and will certainly discuss some of them on my channel.
It's my pleasure! This is your channel and you should be able to do whatever you please with your channel. If you want to talk about books, then by all means you should talk about books. I will be eager to see what myths, legends, and folktales you talk about on your channel and perhaps some of the collections you are reading from.
As a fellow introvert, I really related to what you said about not having a super fluffy, outgoing personality. Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded that fellow introverts exist on social media ☺️ Excited to see more of your content! ✨
Welcome, Eva! I love hearing about your grandmother telling stories and the love of fairy tales being instilled in a young age. Don’t worry about how often you post or respond to comments. You will find your friends on here, and they will be happy to interact with you when you can.(I need to take my own advice!😂) I have subscribed. ❤
I love your idea of discussing literary genres and movements! It's also super cool that your country's oral traditions got you interested in stories. What are some of your favorite Gothic books? Looking forward to your videos!
Thank you, Jenny! I'm super nerd, so it's very nice to see there are other people interested in the same things I like. My ultimate favourite is The Picture of Dorian Gray, but I also like everything from Poe and Daphne du Maurier. Do you have a favourite too?
@@evasliteraryparlour The Picture of Dorian Gray is on my TBR for this year! I'm really excited to read it. If Dracula is a Gothic book, that's my favorite I've read so far!
Good luck with your channel Eva! I understand what you mean about the overwhelming distractions of social media etc but it sounds like you manage them well. A comfortable armchair and a good book is still the best!
Welcome to BookTube, Eva! The reading chair looks perfect. I’m looking forward to what you share on your channel. The perspective you can share sounds fantastic. Happy New Year! Cheers, Jack
Welcome to booktube from a fellow booktuber! It's truly a lovely corner of the internet and the first place I've felt I've really belonged to an internet community. Looking forward to seeing more from you ❤
