Hey everyone, this is Miz Moffatt
from Across the Litoverse,
and welcome to Day One of the #StrikeBackVideoAThon,
the BookTube Edition.
Trust me, Hell hath no fury
like a BookTuber demonetized.
According to YouTube's revised Partner Program,
the vast majority of BookTubers
are getting demonetized on February 20, 2018,
however we're not going down without a fight.
A few days ago, Julia of That Bookie,
G-Swizzel of G-Swizzel Books,
and Mr. Ben Sanders launched the StrikeBackVideoAThon
to help small BookTube channels find new viewers,
and to help creators affected by the revised YouTube Partner Program.
In classic BookTube fashion,
we're banding together to celebrate books,
to support each other's work,
and to grow our community.
I've left links to the organizers' channels below,
and I've left a list of prompts we'll be discussing in the weeks to come.
If you're new here,
my name is Miz Moffatt,
and I'm a Canadian BookTuber who loves science fiction,
fantasy, manga, comics, YA, and so much more.
While you're here, feel free to check out some of my videos,
and don't forget to hit subscribe.
I'd recommend checking out my 2018 TBR reading list,
if you're curious about the books I'll be reading this year!
I'll likely be uploading these videos late
or possibly out of order
because my schedule's a little wonky this week,
but we'll see how it goes.
And now, on to Question One:
What are your favourite books you've read because of BookTube?
BookTube has had a major influence on the books I read.
When fellow BookTubers discuss their favourite books
with such passion and such dedication,
it's hard to resist giving those books a shot.
More often than not, I've discovered books I never would have found otherwise,
and I end up getting to pass those books on to the readers in my life as well.
The first book that jumps to mind—
and I know all my regular viewers are gonna be like,
don't say it, don't say it, don't say it—
is The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers.
I read this book in 2017,
and it just obliterated the competition when it came to rating the books I read last year.
I first found Becky Chambers thanks to Elizabeth over at BooksandPieces,
and you can find a link to her channel below.
Elizabeth is the Queen of Science Fiction in my books,
and I've found so many wonderfully diverse examples of science fiction thanks to her channel.
I filmed a detailed review of The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet,
so you can definitely watch that if you want to hear me absolutely gush about this book.
I love this one for its inclusiveness
and for the remarkable ways in which Chambers depicts a diverse crew
who are learning to relate to one another,
but who ultimately respect one another for their differences.
And also, who wouldn't want to read about a crew
who builds wormholes for interstellar travel, am I right?
Book two would definitely have to be The Book Thief by Markus Zusack.
To be fair, I first heard about this book
when a close friend lent me her copy and told me I had to read it—
she doesn't often recommend books to me,
so her insistence piqued my interest.
That being said, I'd stumbled over this book countless times thanks to BookTube,
which convinced me to pick it up.
Oh, what a book.
I mean, not only was this one intriguing because it's narrated by death,
but Zusak made this tale especially painful
because he constantly reminds you of the fate that awaits
these wonderful, unforgettable characters.
I cried non-stop through the last fifty pages,
and then I passed this book on to all of my literary friends
so I could share my pain.
Book three is definitely A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness.
Speaking of books that will leave you a sobbing mess,
A Monster Calls will do that repeatedly,
and it will make you a better person for it.
I picked up the illustrated edition,
and I'd recommend you do the same,
if only because it adds to the eerie, unsettling tone of the book.
Chances are we're all going to lose someone we love to cancer,
and I feel like this book ought to be recommended reading for everyone—
it highlights the ways in which we refuse to talk about terminal illnesses,
and it shows the various ways people try their best to deal with an awful situation.
BookTube, you were spot on with A Monster Calls.
And last, I found the Gentlemen Bastards series by Scott Lynch
thanks to the kind readers of BookTube.
Sana over at InkBonesBooks loves fantasy and anime,
and I've picked up more than a few fabulous recommendations thanks to her.
She spoke so highly of this series,
that I decided to give the first book,
The Lies of Locke Lamora, a shot.
If you want drool-worthy world building,
and an exciting action tale,
look no further than the Gentlemen Bastards.
Granted, not everything works out for the gents,
and there's a lot of heartache that follows,
but you'll feel like you're a part of their inner circle after the first few chapters
(and you'll get a definite craving for heist movies to boot).
So which of your all-time favourite books have you found thanks to BookTube?
Out of curiosity,
have you read and loved something that I've mentioned in a video?
Feel free to tell me in the comments below!

Ugh, my eye…
