Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the team at The Broke and the Bookish. This week I’m spreading the love and featuring ten of my favourite booktubers. I’m a blogger who gets most of my news from the blogging community but I always find it interesting to hear and learn about books in a different medium. These are ten booktubers whose videos I always click on when I see them in my subscriptions box! They’re all pretty popular booktubers, but hey, you gotta start somewhere right?
1. Christine @ polandbananasBOOKS
Okay, is there anyone who doesn’t watch Christine? She puts so much effort into her videos and booktalks and I think she’s incredibly funny. She makes things super fun and exciting and her videos are just what I need after a long day.
2. Max @ WellDoneBooks
Max is like my guide to literary fiction. I trust his opinion and his reviews and I nearly always end up loving everything that he recommends. When I want to read something that’s not YA, I can always get a great recommendation from watching Max’s videos.
3. Regan @ PeruseProject
Regan is another person who I really trust. I find her book reviews to be really helpful and I’ve discovered a lot of great books because of her. I first heard about All the Light We Cannot See on her channel and now it’s my favourite book ever.
4. Catriona @ LittleBookOwl
Everyone in the Australian book community knows Caz. I’ve met her once in real life and she’s absolutely lovely. I love watching her videos because the books she talks about are all available in Australia and everything she says is super relevant.
5. Samantha @ ThoughtsOnTomes
Sam has wonderful reviews and I love hearing her opinions on everything. She does interesting discussion videos on a huge range of topics too. She’s very articulate and is very thoughtful in everything that she says. I always look forward to her non-spoiler reviews, as well as her ‘gush’ and ‘gripe’ in-depth reviews.
6. Kat @ Katytastic
Kat was probably one of the first booktubers that I started watching. I just find her to be really relatable and I love all of her hauls. She has an uncontrollable book buying problem like me and her videos are just easy to watch.
7. April @ Aprilius Maximus
April is another Aussie booktuber. She reads A LOT of books each month and I enjoy watching her wrap ups and hearing her opinions on books that I’m most likely reading at the same time. I also really enjoy her bookish news videos.
8. Jamie & Jeff @ ErmahgerdBerks
Jeff and Jamie are a Canadian couple and they’re SO FUNNY to watch. They leave in so many funny/bloopery moments that other people would cut out and I love them for it. They read quite different genres and I enjoy that about their channel.
9. Raeleen @ padfootandprongs07
Another Canadian booktuber, I love that Raeleen reads super diversely. I find myself constantly going back to her book hauls and wrap ups to find new books to buy. She doesn’t only read and talk about YA, which I really appreciate.
10. Jeann @ Happy Indulgence
And of course, here’s a little shout out to my co-blogger, Jeann. She doesn’t post very often but I love her monthly wrap up videos and getting short but in-depth summaries of the books she’s read. She’s super honest in her reviews and I always enjoy watching them.
Which booktubers do you regularly watch and follow?
I literally just started a booktube today! that’s funny that the top ten tuesday is all about booktubers, because it’s giving me some great recommendations on who to follow 🙂

Regan, Kat, Catriona, Raeleen, and Christine. My other favorites are Jesse, Ariel Bissett, Sanne, Zoe and Sasha 🙂

I love them too! Sanne was probably the first booktuber I ever watched and I love watching her videos when I just want to watch something short. But the other four that you mentioned are fantastic too! I don’t watch Sasha very often because my reading tastes are a bit different to hers but she’s super relatable and funny!

I love watching booktube because those videos allow me to see exactly what a book looks like! And it takes much more brain power to read blogposts than it does to watch a video as well!

I don’t really watch a lot of booktubers, I do read a lot of book blogs, so that makes up for it, I guess? Thanks for the great recommendations though, I’m going to need to check those out! 😀

I actually started watching booktube before I started following book blogs so I have a lot of booktubers who I still follow. I do read a lot more blogs now though since it’s the community I’m part of. But I still like watching the occasional booktube video because it just requires much less brain power!

Regan and Catriona are on my list of favorites too, they’re both some of the first booktubers I subscribed to 😀 “Okay, is there anyone who doesn’t watch Christine?” I’m one of those people who don’t watch her, oops xD I’ve seen a few of her videos but she’s not for me (I’ve got nothing at all against her though).

Yeah, Christine can be a bit much so I can totally see people not really connecting with her content. I just love that she spends a lot of time doing what she does, and it’s really admirable. She’s good to watch when I’m having a bit of a bad day since she’s so funny 😀

There was one video of hers that I watched last year or so that I found really really funny, but I don’t remember what it was, damn. Something about book covers? She’s real good at what she does, that’s true!

I must confess, I don’t actually watch a lot of booktubers but I do admire their editing skills. Christine and Regan are the two I’d say I watch. Christine is basically a ball of energy and her videos are always fun which is exactly what I need if I’m in the mood to just relax. Regan is the one I’d turn to for book recommendations because her reviews are always very coherent.

I can’t believe how much time booktubers dedicate to editing their videos! I’m so lazy with my blog formatting… I can’t imagine editing and putting together a couple videos a week. I love watching Christine when I’m in a bad mood. She’s so funny and her videos just snap me out of my crappy mood. She just balances the fun with the information really well!

April is one of my favourite bookish people! (And the amount of books she reads is crazy indeed!). I’m so glad to know someone who loves her too. Katytastic was also the first booktuber I found. Her bookshelf tour almost made my eyes pop out of my sockets! Great list 🙂

Omg Katytastic’s bookshelf is just bookshelf goals. But I don’t think I could handle owning as many books as she does because the amount of guilt I’d feel would be massive. I already feel pretty crappy about my number of unread books. And I love April so much! I feel like not many people know about her, which is sad because she has really great content.

It is a bit hectic trying to read all the blog posts and watch all the booktube videos. But the great thing about booktube is that it’s super easy to keep track of subscriptions and I never feel pressured to watch everything. They’re also really great when I’m not really in the mood to read books or blogs because watching a video requires far less brain power!
