Hi friends, it's Saajid and today I will be
doing the "Not A Newbie Tag." So this is
kind of like the booktube newbie tag, but it's
just basically for booktubers who are
not newbies and I'm definitely not a newbie.
So in the description, I will leave a link
to the Creator as well as to Chantal
from BookHands who didn't really directly
tag me but mentioned me in her video for
this. My channel is about and a half old, I
started on June the 9th, 2015. So it's been
a while.
My favorite videos to make are any
videos where I collectively talk about
books that I have specifically read so
tags and wrap ups are by far my favorite
videos to make. I also like making
discussion videos even though I haven't
done much in the past but I do have
ideas for some in the upcoming future and I
already also filmed one recently and
just being able to sit down and casually
talk to y'all about something that much
challenging, but it's also a lot more
rewarding when you actually make the
video. The only advice I would give
to use the advice that everybody seems
to be giving for this tag and that is
just don't succumb to all of the
pressure book you you're going to
come and think that, ok if you don't have
like ten books to wrap up at the end of
each month or if you are not reading the
most popular books that everybody else
on booktube is reading or if you're not
acting a certain way in front of the camera
or if you're not making enough videos
every week. Just do you, just don't like
feel like you need to conform by doing
all of this stuff. If you focus on "Well,
I'm not going to get any views if I
don't do this then it just makes no
sense because, you're turning
booktube into this this kind of like
chore instead of like something you're
doing for fun. So, just be yourself,
do you, don't succumb to pressure. I
have not really run into any like major
challenges the only challenge I have is
like actually getting to make videos and
uploading that one time. I suck at making
schedules like I just can't do it so I
just uploaded arbitrarily and y'all
just have to deal
with that because I'm so freakin
disorganize it's not even a joke. I'll be
talking about two books the first one, I
talk about this book like
a million times on my channel already, so like,
apologies if I'm regugitating, but that
is A Tale For The Time Being by Ruth
Ozeki. I first discovered this book on
Adriana's channel, and if you know
Adriana you know that she knows thuh T.
Like if you get a book recommendation
from Adriana, then you get yourself
good-ass recommendation. The next book I
want to talk about I'm actually currently
reading I haven't finished yet but
literally everybody and their mother has
read this book last year and that is
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. I have about 90
pages to go before I finish it but, oh my
God, this book already has been awe.
Already, like my mind being filled with
like so much different like ideas and
themes and thoughts that this book
provoke, so I have the feeling I will be doing a
full review want to have finished with it.
My favorite aspect about booktube would
have to be the sense of community and
solidarity the fact that we all just, it
doesn't feel like - I feel like - I mean I'm
not a part of any other YouTube
community but if you like you know it's
a lot it's a lot less disjointed, in
terms of like connecting with other
members of the community who make videos
as well as viewers. Like I feel like we
connect a lot more as opposed to like
when I'm watching videos from other
parts of YouTube which I do, booktube
is not, like, my YouTube life. YouTube is
my life but not booktube, but yeah I feel
like what book you there's a lot more
connecting and it feels like this huge
big book club that's how it feels like
this huge book club and I feel like
there's always a neiche for every single
type of reader, maybe we need more
readers who read certain types of books
on books you but I feel it was that
everybody could come to booktube and
really take something unique away as
opposed to any other part of the YouTube
community.
I'd like to give two newbies a shout they
both started last year so I'm not sure
if they are considered newbies but notthe-
less I think that their channels are
like woefully underrated and you'll
definitely need to check them out the
first is Syomone from Symone books, I love
the Symone's channel, her reading tastes are like
right up my alley like I always walk
away from her videos with so much
recommendations
she's also one of those booktubers that
when she uploads a video I just
instinctively click on it like I love
her channel, I love the way she talks
about books, she's fabulous. I will
definitely leave a link for her for y'all to
go check out and I implore you to do so. I
also implore you to check out Nezzle
whose name I forgot because I'm fake as
eff, but her channel name is Nezzle and she is
from Grenada so if you would like to
expand your booktube Caribbean youtube
[repetitive: booktube, Carribbean, thing]
I would love for within the booktube sphere to have a bigger
Caribbean pre...
That's the only thing about the Caribbean I don't like
Everybody, with their damn loud music, I here trying to film my damn
video
Yes, Caribbean booktubers I think
that it would be so valuable to have a
bigger presence in the community. She
reads and recommends, I've noticed, a lot of
underrated books, so if you really want to
expand your horizon in terms of getting
recommendations you should definitely
check her out. I think I'm going to tag
Kirsty from Melbourne On My Minds, Julia
Sapphire, Rachel Atkins and the people
that I gave shoutouts to in this video, so if
y'all haven't done this tag and you want to do it
it, go ahead and do it. Anyways, I'm going to
end the video now and hungry as F and tired
as F, I'm probably not going to eat or
sleep and of going to probably be idle
for three-and-a-half hours and then do
something about my needs, but thank you
so much for watching I hope you have a
lovely day, and until next time Insha Allah,
keep reading.
