Veronica (artivitis) | 6 comments Some of the major BookTubers (for example: polandbananasbooks, katytastic, etc) have their own mini-circle of BookTubing friends that they do collabs, tags, read-a-thons, live chats and such with - although I know I may never be able to enter their social circle, I'd like to form my own!

One thing I've noticed in common with these small circles of BookTubers is that they...
a) live fairly close to each other (or at least in the same country);
b) they are roughly around the same age;
c) they have common interests and personalities;
d) they read the same - if not similar - genres and books.

Since I want to form my own little group of YT book friends, here's a bit about me so you can assess for yourself whether we would be compatible or not:
a) I live in Southern Ontario, Canada (I won't say exactly where unless we become good friends and live in fairly close proximity)
b) I'm 17, turning 18 this July 15
c) I'm typically introverted, and it takes me a while to warm up to new people. But when I do warm up, watch out - I am this fireball of crazy fangirlishness. Be warned.
d) I like reading mainly YA books, some sci-fi, romance, historical-supernatural, contemporary, and occasionally New Adult. As long as there's romance in it, I'll give it a try. *wink wink nudge nudge* ;)

If you're interested in being one of my book buddies - or finding some local peeps of your own - I suggest you tell us a bit about yourself as well!

And personally, I'd prefer other BookTubers who have around the same number of subscribers and daily views as myself - that way, we give each other equal exposure when posting videos. :)

Here's a link to my channel if anyone is interested:

Happy reading!!!


Stacie (MagicOfBooks) Oh, this is a great idea. I've been wanting to connect with other booktubers and find out if anyone lives anywhere near me. I'll have a go. Instead of contacting me directly here and flooding the comment section, just send me a PM either on my Goodreads or at my YT channel http://www.youtube.com/user/MagicOfBooks

1.I live in North Carolina, USA.
2. I just turned 28 years old.
3. Rather introverted and shy, but once you get me talking, I can talk, haha! I love TV and movies, all things British (Hiddleston and Cumberbatch, ladies).
4.I'm a very diverse reader. I seriously read every genre. But my favorites are historical fiction and fantasy.

I personally don't think it should matter if another booktuber has the same amount of views and subscribers as me. I simply want to connect with others around me (if there are any of you).

Caleb Ross (calebjross) I like this. Very cool. I'm in Kansas City (USA). My channel is youtube.com/calebjross.

The notion of "a" seems necessary if you want actual human interaction.

The other 3 points sound terrible. Associating only with people your own age, with the same interests, reading the same books, makes for an exceptionally boring group of people. Diverse circles of friends, spanning a myriad of ages, experiences, outlooks, and beliefs is the way to become a well-rounded individual. Being around clones of yourself is rarely very enlightening.

...Then again, what am I saying? Most people WANT to be clones.

message 10: by Maja (prologen) (new)

Maja (prologen) (prologenbooks) a) I live in Norway
b) I'm 18, turning 19 in June.
c)It's hard to describe myself. I am very outgoing I would say. I'm awkward and a bit shy to new people. I sing and write music. Books are my escape. FANGIRL!!!
d) I like reading mainly YA books. Dystopians and contemporary are my faves. I try to branch out more by reading more classics. I want to study literature in uni, so that's the main reason.

I'd love friends from my brother-countries; Sweden and Denmark.

xx maja

message 11: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Markham  (sarah_markham) | 6 comments A) I live in England
B) I'm 21, turning 22 in October eek!
C) I'm quite shy but once I get to know people I open up. I have a very sarcastic sense of humour. I like to talk about anything really and apart from that I don't know what to say.
D) mostly I read YA. But I like historical fiction, especially if it's based on the Tudors. I love me some Tudors! And I also like a good romance. But I'm also trying to broaden my reading genres and I'm dipping my toes into the world of the classics.

I don't really care about subscriber numbers or video views. I just love book tubing and would love to make as many new friends as possible through this community. If you'd like to get to know me then send me a message.

If you want to check out my book blog or YouTube channel then they are linked on my profile.

Hope to talk to you soon.

message 14: by Red (new)

Red (littleredreader) I think this is a great idea!

A) I'm from California, USA.
B) I'm 22 years old.
C) I don't consider myself solely introverted or extroverted, because I love socializing and meeting new people, but I also love time to myself and a good night in.
D) I primarily read YA, particularly subgenres of dystopian, romance, historical fiction, fantasy, and contemporary. However, I do love some adult books as well; they aren't always my go-to, but some are totally amazing and I'm pretty open minded.

Here's the linky-thingy-mabob for my channel!

Lauren | 1 comments This is legit such a good idea

A) I'm from England!
B) I'm 18 (19 in September)
C) I've been told that I'm quite shy and quiet, but the minute you get to know me you'll wish that you hadn't. I'm quite loud, bubbly, hyper at all times and I talk/sing far to much haha
D) I read anything, anything YA is good though. I also have an unhealthy addiction to John Green books, I think I've read TFIOS like 10 times

Raquel (Rocki) (raquelrocki) | 188 comments Mod
Hi I am Raquel I live in Iowa hoping to move some time next month to either Oklahoma or Arkansas. Some where warmer. I am 25 turning 26 in May. For the most part I keep to myself but I can be very outgoing especially when it comes to something I love talking about. I love to read all kinds of books and will really read any genre, but I mostly stick to Fantasy, dystopian, scifi, and supernatural stuff. I am also currently doing a lot of writing, hoping to get something polished enough to publish it myself some day.

If you would like to see me do any kind of specific video's then just let me know. Such as book tours, tbr tour (since it would need its own show), or any tag videos. Let me know.

Sarah (sarahreadssometimes) This sounds like a great idea!

I'm Sarah from upstate NY (originally from the SE Pennsylvania area). I'm about to turn 24 in June.

I'm typically very shy about reaching out to people but I would love to get to know more people who are book lovers!

I read all different genres, but recently I've been on a sci-fi/fantasy kick (currently reading Cress by Marissa Meyer).

Check out my channel! I'd love to have you there =] I'm a newer YouTuber and just recently got into Booktube, but I'm hooked! Booktubers of all ages, locations, and subscriber/view counts welcome! I hope to hear from you =]

message 35: by Lucinda (new)

Lucinda | 10 comments Hi, I'm Lucinda, I'm 23 and I'm from the north east of England. I've always loved reading and am most interested in fantasy, dystopias, and some conteporary novels. I'm loving the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin right now the most, and I think I'm the only person on the planet who hasn't read City of Glass by Cassandra Clare (I'm reading it now though in time for the last book!) :)

Megan McCarthy (austendumas) Hi, my name is Megan, and I live in Southern California.

I'm 22, introverted, and a bit shy at first.

I read anything that sounds good, but mostly I love classic novels and adult fiction. I'm not fond of YA literature, sports books, and anything scary. (I'm a wuss). I will read any book that sounds like it has a good plotline, though.

Oswin Holmes (reichenbooks) | 14 comments Hello! My name is Oswin. I am 15. I live in the southern half of the United States, although I would prefer to not say what state because I am an extremely paranoid person when it comes to things like that. I am introverted, but after I warm up to people I can be pretty insane! I read Young Adult mainly. :3

1.I'm from Hong Kong, but I'm currently studying in the north of England.
2. I just turned 21.
3. I'm quite shy, and because English isn't my first language, sometimes I'm quite shy and hesitate to talk, but once I get comfy around people then I'll be quite chatty.
4.I read anything as long as the plot is interesting.

I don't mind the views or the number of subscribers, I just want to get to know more booktubers:)
Feel free to contact me on Goodreads or Youtube. :)
