30 BookTubers You Need To Watch
Video Content for Book Lovers
As you might know, I've been part of BookTube/AuthorTube for years now. In fact, I uploaded my very first video to my channel over 13 years ago! In recent years I use my YouTube mainly to post book reviews for the books I've read.
One of the reasons I love video as a medium for sharing my reviews, and discussing topics, is that it gives a more personal feel for both the content and the person creating it. A lot of the time you get to know the person better... or at least feel like you know them better.
As well as creating video content of my own, I also like to watch the video content put out by others. Not only is it enjoyable but it also gives me inspiration for new ideas I can adapt for myself in the future too.
Below you can find a list of 30 BookTubers you should check out and a brief description of the sorts of video content they post. I've also picked a video for each that I feel gives a good idea of the sort of content they post to their channel.
The following channels are listed in no particular order.
