I didn’t read before 2020 so if I stopped my channel I would probably also not read nearly as much. I don’t have any real life friends who read either

That's really cool! I love that booktube is a force for encouraging a lot of us who might not read as much otherwise.

“Buying books and getting books and saying that I’m going to read them and then not reading them”: You speak for us all. I love your videos and the way you speak to the camera/audience as though we’re just sitting around in your house chatting. Your sense of humor is charming.

Thank you for adding your thoughts to this discussion, and giving us a whole new fashion moment with your mustache.

Great Video! So much fun to see a video from you again 😊

Understandable. I don't know that I could have done booktube while in grad school. I waited until I was done. I'll be here for whatever you post. I would love to see your video on Own Voices. I love social critique of books and publishing.

Lol "if you're going to be a nuisance, at least be a nuisance with taste"

Always happy to see a video from you when you are up for it. There are a few booktubers doing the 100 book challenge where they can't buy another book until they read 100 books. I am not participating because it would set me up for failure, but it is a way of getting books on your shelf read. 😊💙

This sounds like a good idea. Definitely so so hard to read that many without getting excited for a new release or buying a new authors’ whole backlist. 😳😳

@@dimerymichaels3539 Right? I don’t think I could do it. 😊

The Own Voices discussion sounds great! But no pressure!!

With you on just needing to read what I freaking own bc got a bit out of control without realizing it this year. 🙃 hope you are enjoying what you've been reading lately.

I always appreciate how you stay true to yourself but don't allow it to pressure you as making content for your channel. Take it easy!

"I just need to get my shit together" I feel that! I'm so overwhelmed--I always am no matter what and it's because I need to get my life together but I don't know where to start lmao. I'm so glad you're exploring more genres, sometimes you just need to do that and find what you like in those new genres. "I don't know you. You don't know me." lmaooo Good luck with your school work!

Great to see you

I read “A Tale for the Time Being” this year because of you - such a unique storytelling style and plot! I loved it. Thank you 💗

💖💓💗💞💘

I read everything (lol), and I think YA is over represented on KZread. Fantasy too. I think it’s great that you want to read more of literary fiction. Also, I’d be looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Own Voices, but no pressure! Take care 😊

Lol I need to put myself on a book buying ban too… I feel you…

I read before booktube but like...a book a year maybe two. So if I quit making booktube videos altogether (I know I upload very randomly) I would probably revert back to that tbh. And I'm on a book buying ban right now because I have FAR too many books on my shelves that I need to read. Good luck on grad school stuff!!

Thanks for the tag, Saajid! And oh boy, I'll have to sit down and come up with some answers because you're right, I'm back to making videos but I haven't really been making Booktube content for a while now 😅 And I'm kind of a fan of the mustache. Looking good!

I think you're looking great!

I resonated with this so much. Lol there’s so many books I really want to read but haven’t gotten around to and so many videos on books I have read but haven’t gotten around to making yet 😅

Appreciate every video you post ❤️

I always really enjoy your videos. ♥️♥️♥️

Good to see a new video and glad its a tag

Glad you’re being safe!

My auntie caught covid twice down there. Stay safe!

"covid has more eras in her career than Madonna" 😆

"At this point Covid has more eras in her career than Madonna" :')

Keep safe and hopefully you find the desire to read again...

Nah, low key Ed Sherran music slaps. Your mustache is cute, but make sure you're staying hydrated and resting pooh.

Me: Saajid is my age?!?!?!? I was sure you were older than me, I think this pandemic has just made me feel frozen in my early 20s lol

"At this point covid has more eras in her career than Madonna" DON'T SPEAK THINGS INTO EXISTENCE 😷😶

I always look forward to your videos and appreciate when you upload a new one. But, you should should take care of yourself first and foremost and not feel you’re letting anyone down because you can’t pump out content with the speed of 5-Minute Cr@fts. Better to put out thoughtful work. Take care!
