In May, I celebrated my 3rd Booktube birthday! It has been a fantastic 3 years and rather than do the same tag we do every year, I instead asked people to submit me some questions that I could answer instead. As usual, I ran way too long, turning simple questions into needlessly complex answers, so this is part one of however many it takes to get through the questions.
Thank you so much to all of you who watch and more than anything to the people who've been with me for a long time and of course to my Patrons who support me and Christina, even when we're having a tough time. Thank you guys so much.

Allen I think your sprints and live shows ironically, since you are a teacher, make me feel like I am back in junior high. It is a clique of other small booktubers and good luck becoming part of the conversation if you are just a regular sub. One of the best parts of booktube is getting recommends from other commentators but at this point I just watch you and your guest and shut off the conversation stream.
@TheLibraryofAllenxandria

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying and I definitely want to. Can you clarify for me? if I make people feel unwelcome, please let me know how I can do better! If that's the case, it is 100 percent not my intention. Let me know, plz! 😊

@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Not you, maybe all social media “chats” become like a clique, I have never joined one until I found book tube. You, more than most book tubers try to respond to all comments in a live chat. I just find that your live chats are dominated by the same small booktube channel people or “regulars “ and if a good conversation gets started , the commentator not in the clique get shut out or ignored just like being back in junior high. Maybe it is the problem of being mid-size.

Happy Booktube Anniversary Allen! The summer struggle is real. My sleep routine is currently in the dumpster, so while I dread going back to work - if it lasts any longer I’ll be a husk. Being a smaller channel rocks. I’m at the tipping point of having too many commenters to be able to handle (or feel like work) I admire those of you with large(r) channels who are able to foster community and inclusivity. I don’t have the energy or patience for that 😂 . Loved the video as always. Take care
@adamborst
@adamborst Год назад
This was great. Fantastic insight into the very small/large channel options. I think if there's one attribute of Allen that I appreciate the most is the raw honesty that comes across in your videos. You don't rant just to rant, it's because you have real life passion about the topics. And I think that translates well into your reviews and it certainly has spawned me to pick up a lot of your recommendations. Also, at a lesser level, I can appreciate your lack of time for things as a 40+ year old father of 3 that works fulltime (albeit from home), it's hard to find time for reading sometimes. Thanks again for your willingness to provide a community.

Happy BookTube Birthday. I moved house at the end of March and I am still trying to figure out the best configuration for the space to function for me. I thought I knew how it would all work and I hate rearranging but I am coming to the conclusion that function is more important than whatever ideas I had about the layout. Just because you have an 'office' room doesn't mean it is the best place to do everything. Maybe that is where you grade and do live streams but you need a different space for other types activities like editing. Don't be afraid to change it up until you figure what works best where and it could take several iterations. Annoying to do but when you finally get it right you will be so happy.

@@EscapetoBooks23 The Black Dahlia and The Big Nowhere are more standard in their style and as a result, they are much less jarring than his later books. LA Confidential is where the style shifts, apparently because the publisher wanted him to trim the length, so he started simply taking out a lot of the connective and transitional words and phrases. If you can deal with the darker subject matter of all the books, White Jazz is the one that becomes love it or leave it for a lot of readers. I’m definitely in the love it camp.
