    Happy Booktube Anniversary... my 4th Booktube anniversary is next week. This is a great idea for a tag. I script for my 1 minute reviews because I'd get too tongue tied otherwise, but I don't script for longer videos. I stopped doing wrap ups and opted for 1 minute reviews for the majority of books I have read instead. You are right that reviews are evergreen, hauls and TBRs don't get many views after the month is over. I enjoyed your thoughts on your own evolution as a booktuber.

    • @spreadbookjoy
      @spreadbookjoy 8 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

    • @spreadbookjoy
      @spreadbookjoy 8 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      That's how I am going to approach it from now on really - after years of lurking, I then became a booktuber and decided that I needed to write detailed comments which is so silly. I'd rather give someone the watch hours and an emoji, than not watch because I haven't got time to comment!

  • @PageTurnersWithKatja
    @PageTurnersWithKatja 18 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

    I enjoy doing the monthly wrap-ups, but I prefer individual book discussions because they attract viewers who are specifically interested in that book. Individual reviews tend to be evergreen, as you mentioned. My channel is small, so my wrap-ups typically get just150 views and then plateau, whereas my single book reviews may start with only 40 views but often surpass 150 views after three months.

    • @spreadbookjoy
      @spreadbookjoy 8 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      So true. Every now and again, a video's views will just start creeping up and suddenly it's in my most watched that month, despite having very few views initially!

    Hi dear Jack, What a wonderful video. You are a Queen! I'm not surprised we started at the same time four years ago. Congrats my friend. I write long comments but I'm not as busy as most people in this season of my life.. I am so excited to do your tag. I love your honesty. Even at 74, my self-esteem, especially regarding my looks is not where I want it to be. but it gets better every day. You are a wonderful artist. I loved it! My channel is going through an evolution too. We need to do a project together this year. Aloha friend.

    Oh Jack, I need this book so much. I’m waiting my second memoir and using any excuse (hello booktube) to distract myself. Research is a big part of my project so I use that as well to avoid putting words on the page. Although reading has been very helpful in organizing my book, as you know, it takes up a lot of time. Some books that have been helpful to me and that I should read again are “ writing down the bones” by Natalie Goldberg and “bird by bird“ by Annie Lammot. I have one you probably have never heard of and it’s not about writing per se. It’s called for packrats only by Don Aslet a reprinted book in 2002. It’s about how clutter in your house can affect your whole life. But it’s very funny with jokes and illustrations. It’s a bit dated before the Internet and smart phone, but I really am enjoying it and you? can use it for everything in your life. He has another book, but I don’t think it’s available called clutters last stand. I read it back in the 80s when I was having trouble with housework. Thank you for your awesome and informative review. I’m definitely looking for this book. Much aloha, your friend. MMM❤

      @spreadbookjoy 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@Bessie-On-Wheels that is my current problem! The book does talk a bit about that as well, but mainly about lowering the level of challenge. I kept starting and stopping different projects because I was aiming for a full story or even longer piece of writing. Lately, if I’m not blogging or reviewing, I’ve just been picking out lines from books or headlines etc and setting a timer and just writing for 15 minutes. No hesitating or stopping to think for too long or editing until after. Something may emerge that I then carry on with. At least that is the hope! 😂 It’s definitely a lot of fun if not anything else!
