 I am so nervous that this video is not going to work very well for a number of reasons. Hello reading warriors and welcome to today's video. I am super excited because here's what happened. I was scrolling through Instagram and I was seeing all these reels from other people on their book talk and I don't have TikTok because I knew that if I got it I would go down that rabbit hole and I would accomplish nothing else in life but I just kept watching them and watching them until one day my husband turns to me and he goes just get a TikTok already and I went okay so I have downloaded TikTok onto my phone the only time I have opened it is to create an account but other than that I have not looked at any TikToks especially not any book talks since so this video if it works is going to be a video of me kind of reacting to things on book talk I had seen other booktubers do this video and I thought it was so much fun but then at the same time I was like oh I shouldn't watch this video because I want to do something like it so I shouldn't see anything on here but yeah so we will see if my computer soft editing software will allow me to put a little video in the corner here to make it easier to like watch these videos and see my reaction right alongside if that doesn't work then I may have to just kind of do the video that I watched and then my reaction but you know we will see I'm going to try so hard to make this work so let's see what happened also like I said I had seen another booktuber do this Brittany the Bibliophile did it and I'll have her link in the description below but while you're down there give this video a thumbs up subscribe and hit the notification bell I post once a week on Thursdays if you want to think it'd be fun comment down below if you're on book talk because I would love to follow you because now now that I have the social media I have I don't know how to follow people so drop it down below I'll get to you okay here we go the importance of friendship and family most of it should be worth it I mean okay so theoretically everything on your shelf should be worth it in my opinion if there's a book on my shelf that's not worth it it better have a really pretty cover also he smut at the phone porn should just be the same any of those books which is great new recommendations but the same time I know nothing I think that's the one thing I'm gonna have a hard time about book talk or appreciate about book talk is that either they're not gonna give me descriptions and then I'm gonna have no idea if I actually care to read any of these or they're gonna give me those one sentence ones and it's either gonna capture me or it's not which I think is going to be very efficient and if it can just capture me then I know that I'm gonna have a lot of positive feelings going towards it going into it but I won't be like spoiled for anything like I feel like when we give descriptions of books here on booktube and I do this myself because other people do it but I feel like you're always describing the first hundred pages of the book like when you give a summary you just describe everything that happens for the first hundred hundred fifty pages of the book whereas that's not gonna hot that's not going to happen on here and that's kind of appreciative all right let's see what else I got yeah no that's something that's very relatable especially red wine row blue for me as you all know maybe I should make that my version of that book talk I tend to be very repetitive in a lot of my recommendations that's because I like to look at my shelf for my recommendations and I don't have that many and also there are a lot of books on my shelf I still need to read so it's like I'm very limited in what I have to pull out of my back pockets recommend that always happens to me for a couple of different reasons either yes I just forget everything because like there's so much and I'm like I do or it depends on the person I'm talking to if I think that they will I still very much fall into the if I tell you about how much fantasy I read will you you need differently how do I tell you what I'm reading in a non-judgmental way this is fun though I I'm liking book talk and I definitely think I'm gonna waste majority of my life on here because my local Barnes and Noble has this amazing book talk made me read it section and my new dream is to go get my book which is all the way over in the back in the science section and get it onto that book talk show that I have seen that on the in Barnes and Noble as well the book talk book talk made me read it section a lot of those books I know because they are very popular also on other platforms or I just know of them but yeah we'll see I read some of them but not all of them do that that excites me that excites me a lot because I when you see books on here that you've already read and the person like agrees with you that's just another level of self-affirmation yeah I think one thing I'm really appreciate you appreciating about book talk so far is just the amount of just it's music combined with books I mean a lot of it is kind of like repetitive or like their sound bits that you can recognize but like I know for my brain having something on in the background when I'm trying to look at stuff it's so helpful because the amount of times I'll want to like watch a booktube video but then like be listening to something else but that doesn't really work so I am appreciating this quite a bit I don't know if I should just keep scrolling through the these top book talk videos on book talk I think I'll do a couple more and then I'll see if I can like find other ones I guess I feel like for some of these like that one you it's a lot of small print to read very quickly but I also I'm just so interested in like how to make your book talk videos so that might also be another video idea and it's going through and filming the process of what it's like to make a book talk video probably not until I get the handle of things but let's go book talk fantasy because I read a lot of fantasy more than anything else okay first off I love that youtuber that booktuber princess of paperback I definitely am gonna need to follow her how do I do that that's how you do it great but I feel like another issue I'm gonna have a book talk is that I'm gonna go through and watch like a recommendations video and they're gonna be like three books in there that look interesting that I want to look into but by the end of it I'm not gonna remember what they're called and I have time to like write them down to look them up on Goodreads so I feel like that's gonna be that's probably gonna be the struggle but there are some books on here that I agree with so yeah I think I would like to do some more like comedy based ones and then I think I will call it for this video works properly break in a book first you take it note that it's beautiful binding and hold it as you would a dove then you gently spread apart its wings and then you said my venue is coming but I'm not one who breaks my box Caroline Caroline my life just flashed before my eyes I think it's terrible I got the books you asked for I asked for book recommendations not your entire library this is like three books two four okay okay what are you a mathematician I can just pick a couple okay well thank you you just put them down over there I'll check them out later I think you really like these was there something else you have like a time you're gonna look at them or you need them back soon no no just wondering later okay so uh let me know which one you pick and uh text me every time you finish a chapter or every time you finish a page maybe like every few paragraphs you can just like that's too much that's too much every page is fine let me just review a few of the summaries yeah I felt like that was coming that one I feel like is relatable because as soon as well I don't have a lot of friends who like to read books a lot um so I feel like yeah every time I am finding a a book to recommend to someone I always get very overexcited and I want to explain to them everything to make them want to read it so that that's relatable I'm hoping a lot of stuff on here will be relatable because that's why I joined the book community online in the first place that's so true every time I read a book written by a man that has a female main character or major characters they're always terrible they always fall flat I always have issues with them I just I have no problem with like male authors in general because yeah they write good books but if a lot of times they write bad female characters and it's it annoys me it really does like why are men so afraid to figure out women so that they can write them in a book properly it just like I'm looking at my bookshelf and I'm looking at one book in specific that I'm like I remember reading that written by a man female main character irked me the entire time I even I'm even thinking in multiple books now this is driving me nuts I also feel like there's so much Sarah J maths on here and I don't understand any of it because I read throttle glass and never picked up it's Sarah J mass book ever again so I feel like that's another struggle was that like especially with like the common needs I think I'll stop there for today though I hope you enjoyed this I will definitely be playing around more on book talk but again please comment down below your book talk handles if you have them I would love to find you and follow you um I do hope to make book talk videos soon I just gotta kind of figure out when to do it and how I want to do them but yeah stick around for that obviously my handle of course is a reading warrior that's what it is for everything um so yeah there you go like this video if you actually liked it feel free to subscribe and hit the bell to get notifications I post every week um but
