booktube – Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs..

Hello everyone!! I usually watch one or two YouTubers in the evening, and I have added a few new channels to my subscription list! Wyatt watches along with me, bless his little heart. It’s something we do, and it makes me think of when I would watch things with my mom at night, that I can’t say I really enjoyed but I enjoyed that time together.

The next two days are going to be in the 100 degree range with the heat index, so Wyatt and I will be stuck inside. We have lots to do but I am sure at some point in the day I will give up and throw on a “book lady” or two, probably from this list! (Wyatt calls them the book ladies)

First, let’s start with Amy Marie. She is mainly a cozy mystery and thriller book reviewer, and she is pretty prolific with her posting so I can usually count on a new video from her. I have added so many books to my TBR though watching her channel, so be warned. LOL.

Next up, is Rebecca from Rebecca’s Literary Wanderings. I enjoy her channel a lot, and I think that I have many reading tastes and ideas in common with her, so much so that sometimes she does a video and I am like dang, I was just going to write a post about this topic! I like her book choices, and her pursuit of a slow and simple life. She recently posted about a slow old fashioned summer, and it made me think of Wyatt and my Frog and Toad summer plans. (although our name is more fun) She reads a lot of gentle, vintage fiction, and is where I first learned about Gladys Taber.

I have also been watching Paula at Relatively Refined, although I do not usually watch her thrifting videos. I mainly watch her book videos. She reads a lot of different books, modern mysteries, vintage books, and has cute themed videos a lot, and we all know I LOVE a theme.

Finally, Jen at Jen’s Reading Life. She has introduced me to lots of new to me authors that are actually pretty old and vintage. She also reads a lot of Mary Stewart and I love Mary Stewart. Her latest video was all about summer mysteries for sunny days, which was a lot of fun. In it she mentions one of my favorite older mysteries, Hotel Paradise by Martha Grimes, and she is right, it feels so summer!

These women all have very watchable channels, full of book suggestions that range from cozy mystery to thriller to gentle vintage fiction to more classic mysteries. And my poor TBR pays the price.

I hope that whatever you do today, you do something that makes you smile!

I am a big fan of YouTube. I usually like to relax for half an hour in the evening to a video, and what I like to watch differs from night to night. As for book content, I have certain favorites that I watch all the time – Alexandra Roselyn is one booktuber I watch a lot, The Cottage Fairy, and Darling Desi although they are not exactly booktubers, more like youtubers who talk about books. The Cottage Fairy is also pregnant and just announced she is taking some time off to be a mom, so congrats to her!

So, I have been on the hunt for new to me booktubers! I actually watch them with Wyatt, who gives his opinion on as well, and I throw in some booktubers who read and review middle grade for him. It is kind of a fun relaxing way to wind down at night together. Anyway, these are the booktubers we have been watching lately.

First up is Liv’s Library. She reads a lot of the same books that I like – fantasy, some magical realism, thrillers, contemporary, just a whole mix of things. And she is totally into the cozy way of life, and she has a very gentle way of speaking. So books and coziness and trips to Target..so far her channel is perfect.

I have also been watching a lot Ahya’s Cottage. She also reads books that I usually enjoy, such as middle grade, romantasy, cottagecore cozy type reads. She also throws some fashion in there too, which is cottagecore inspired and so cute. Her channel is also a very easy watch, gentle and calming, plus lots of good book recommendations!

Morgan Long is another YouTuber I have been watching. She loves tea and books and I just find her channel very positive. I think she speaks honestly about a lot of things, such as feeling lonely, or needing to build her confidence. I just find her very real. She also loves to read and shop for books, bake, and her channel just has a good happy feel to it.

And finally, Leora Aileen. She is another cozy vlogger, who vlogs all about books and life and tea and coffee and just things that make me happy. She is Dutch, living in Amersterdam, which adds another layer of interesting to her videos. I haven’t watched too many of her videos yet but I have watched enough to know I will be watching more.

And that is it from me today! I would love to hear any booktuber recommendations you might have!
