@@caricanread Are you not being ironic Cari? It's hard to tell if you are joking. For a long time, I thought that the nearly all the people on booktube were white women who loved YA fantasy and thrillers/true crime but fortunately that's not true. I do think that your travel channel is unique and I'm sure that you'll find your audience on your booktube channel as you already have 5K subscribers after doing only one video. I'm not much interested in either one of those genres you mentioned (at least not the books that I've seen most commonly featured repeatedly on booktube).In any case, if being unique is a goal (and it doesn't have to be as reading is personal) and you expand the types of books that you read, then that could be interesting.
@Elizabeth Gardner What? Hahahah I was very very clearly being sarcastic in my statement - booktube is nearly 100% white women talking about ya fantasy and true crime. That's why I was *joking* about it being unique.
@@elizabethgardner6832 A tip for next time I use sarcasm (because I always do) - if I'm rolling my eyes and/or making a statement like "I'm the *most* unique" or "I'm an *absolute expert* on this topic" I am definitely joking.
As soon as she said "I am a white woman who loves YA fantasy and true crime, so I'm kind of unique as it gets", I was sold on this channel. I love a good ironic sense of humour. Cari if you read this, I'm excited to see more of your channel, good luck!
Can relate to the low threshhold for communication and not answering texts for three days😔 The people surrounding me don't seem to fully understand what it's like. They're okay with it, but I always feel guilty and then it takes even longer for me to answer So it's kinda nice to see someone who does the same thing. I don't feel so weird/alone now
Cari i'm so excited!! this feels like i've joined a book club and on fridays we'll have cozy meetings where we can talk about books, drink coffee and tea and eat biscuits ☕📖 our own little book society!
I used to read so much when I was younger.. All through elementary, middle school and throughout high school, but then I just stopped for some reason. But I've been very inspired by you Cari! So this year I've started reading again and I'm rediscovering the joy of reading. So I'm exited to follow you here as well and perhaps get new book ideas and keep being inspired to read. :D Thank you~
Omg your librarian mom sounds like the bestttt. Also I totally relate to having TONS of books- we have like 10 in our living room alone and it’s my favorite thing to see people’s reactions
I totally agree with you about the uniqueness of books expanding your mind and visualizing what's happening instead of watching it on a screen. Welcome to the community and I can't wait to see more from you :)
I love your taste in books. It's the main reason I discovered your other channel. Murakami et al. I've actually taken many of your reading suggestions and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I have been surviving the pandemic by reading/ listening to audiobooks. And it's daunting to try and figure out new books to read. So, finding someone who has great taste in books is a godsend. I really appreciate this.
I would love a chance to discuss books read with you and your followers. In the case of Murakami, no one I know in my own circle of friends that I regularly talk to has read Murakami. I have lots of thoughts and questions I want to bounce off someone who has read him, but I don't have that opportunity. I don't know how that can be done. Maybe pick a book and ask for discussion questions? I don't know. So many questions....
Thank you always! I need to figure out how to cover murakami because i feel like his work is so hard to talk about? I always feel like i am just reading a dream 😂 but I’ll try!!!
Never heard of "Booktube" as a concept so I'm excited to see what you do here! Have you ever read Cormac McCarthy? If not, check out The Road. It's about a father and son traveling through a post-apocalyptic America. It's very dark but beautifully written in his unique minimalist style. There's a reason it won the Pulitzer!
I love your energy, even through the screen, you seem like such a serene and peaceful person. I also loveeee the sun lit reading nook that overlooks the sky line...such a perfect place to read!
I started watching your other yt channel as a recommendation from a friend and honestly it made me re-arrange myself again and find routines. I started reading again just this year (after YEARS of not even picking up a book) and I couldn’t be happier!! Much MUCH love
Honestly loved your book content on your main channel, but I totally understand the limitations of not having a dedicated space to talk abt all things book-related. Sooo excited that you've joined the Booktube community!! Can't wait to hear you gush about books unapologetically! :)
YAY! This was the perfect way to start my morning. I can relate to not wanting to feel pressure regarding reading and the joy it brings me, however connecting with other readers is so inspiring so I'm sure you will have a wonderful time. Don't stress about having to be something you are not! I have been managing a book store for 14 years, and my love has not diminished, if anything connecting with other readers has truly opened my eyes to so many genres I would have never originally picked up. Already looking forward to next Friday!
So happy to see you thriving in this new dedicated space!! I've been in a reading slump recently, but hopefully watching more of your book videos will get me rollin again :)
I relate so much to you talking about how you're both an introvert and an extrovert and how it come and goes in waves. I am like that too! It's kind of exhausting to be like all or nothing and it's hard to keep a balance... but enough about me, I actually just wanted to leave a comment and tell you how much I enjoy your videos! You seem like a really sweet and creative person and I'm looking forward to follow you! It's also my dream to visit Korea so the fact that you live there just makes me even more interested in your videos ♥️
wow i am so excited?? i really enjoy watching your videos because of you as a person, you seem to be so genuine and a nice person to know and now on top of that, hello book lover! i've already been following you on goodreads since one of your last bookish videos and can't wait for more content on this channel, especially since you seem to read books that i enjoy too would love to see a mid year book freak out :)
i have been binge watching cari can read and cari cakes vlog so much that i literally cannot separate work and nonwork now. your videos are literally all i want to watch and hear in the background. i am struggling so much. lol :D
Aw this is so cute! I just started a Booktube (just uploaded my first video) and I didn't think of this!! Can't wait to find my way within the Booktube community, love you!
I am so so so so excited about this channel! You’re the reason I’ve started reading on my iPad. I usually buy books in bulk lol but I’ve been renting ebooks from the library and it’s saved me tons. ❤️❤️
proud of you for making this channel despite being a little nervous about it! im so excited to see the content you post on here, but already just the combination of my favourite youtuber and books makes me so happy, anything you do from now on is really just an added bonus
Just like you I used to be an avid reader since I can remember, but then depression took over my life and suddenly getting through 2-3 books a year was a struggle. One day you talked about Pachinko and I knew I had to read it. This changed everything for me because it moved me so much I remembered the joy books can bring, and how good of an escape they are. I found that family sagas and historical fiction, especially combined, are my two most loved genres and I was able to discover so many more amazing books just because of that one recommendation of yours, so thank you for that and good luck with your new channel! Hope books never fail to inspire you not only when it comes to making videos but also your art and dreams. Super excited to see you grow.
you talking about why you like to read and how much it means to you makes me want to starting reading again! i just finished six of crows and its the first series in a long time that i didnt feel indifferent about. but i got so attached to it that i’m finding it hard to start another book. but hearing you talk about reading makes me remember why i love it so much and how there are so many more worlds to discover!!! so thank you so much :))
Excited for more book content!!!! Was a bit confused when I opened the app and saw it came out 10 hours ago and realised the time this video comes up is at night instead of morning which I’m used to from caricakes ahahaha
bahaha im thinking of switching it to my usual posting time because i didnt go to sleep until 1am cause i was too excited answering comments hahaha 10pm isnt going to work for me LOL
Have lowkey been waiting for this channel to start ever since I watched your video on Korean authors!! So excited for you and can’t wait for what’s to come!! The bit about drowning in the YA hole thanks to SoC is too relatable 😂😂
I love watching your other TH-cam channel and I also love booktube so I was pretty excited when I found out you were doing this! Wish you all the best with this new channel :)
Went to your channel to check out more of your content and instantly subscribed and turned on notifications when I saw all your videos have CC. I'm not deaf or hard of hearing, but I am a Disabled woman and it's such a breath of fresh air to see accessibility being not only normalized, but also prioritized. Even in 2020 Disabled people are still the forgotten minority. Anyone who makes it a point to truly include us every time is someone I want to support with everything I have.
I've never watched a single video of yours until this popped up in my recommended. i am so glad to see such a positive person join the community, I'm so excited to watch more of your content
Aww I'm so glad youtube recommended you! I've been considering joining booktube but the quality of new booktubers like you is so high, low key intimidated! Really can't want to see what you make!
i love what you said about not letting booktube affect your reading love. it’s something i’m always conscious of as well. and what you said about your threshold for interaction! exact same! 😪 i’m so glad to see this channel and i’m excited for all of your future videos!! 💗💗💗
Yes yes yes, FINALLY!!!!! I can't wait for more videos. Also I relate so hard to the whole "low threshold for how much communication you can have per day" Love you tons
just wanted to say thankyou for creating such beautiful content on your main channel and now on this channel. you honestly inspire me and i bet you bring joy and even a safe space not only to me but many others. i truly hope you stay happy, inspired and creative💛
I've followed you from Cari Cakes, but also yay for another booktuber to follow :) I am a big reader and have to say the quarantine did wonders for my Goodreads goal, as I already reached my goal of 62 and we are literally only half way through the year!
i started to follow you because of your murakami cafes video and so seeing you here now with a booktube channel has me fully losing it!! i'm so excited for this journey with you, i can't wait to see what creative videos you get up to and to see you have a lot of fun! books are the best topic forever 💓
I'm so excited you started this new channel!!! I love seeing you talking about books, you seem so passionate and happy!!! And I love your recommendations too, so it's a win-win situation hahaha I'm excited to see more videos here (and in the other channel too, ofc)!!
I'm so excited for this!! Since the rona started i've been looking at screens/socials for far too long so getting back into reading sounds A+ right now and you always have the best book recs!
I was introduced to your main channel by the first book favorites video you made and I’ve been obsessed since! I’m so glad you’re making this channel bc I’m always looking forward to your book videos, love you 💕
Cari congrats!!! So happy to have my favorite TH-camr on BookTube. I love reading but haven't really been able to focus on it so maybe now I can get into it again. Congrats on your first video on BookTube!!! Lots of love.❤❤❤❤
I just had to comment when I saw the books you’ve read. I have read more than had of the YAs you listed, but I was way more excited when I saw your adult fantasy reads! Rivers of London is one of my favorites! I’ve read all 7 novels in the series currently out and absolutely love, not only the magic system and lore, but how well the author knows London (one of my favorite cities). His description of places and architecture make you feel transported! Can’t wait to watch your other bookish videos!
I'm so excited for this channel!!! I couldn't have subscribed faster. I wanted to ask you, Cari, have you ever thought about starting a Discord server for your watchers? There are so many great Discord servers out there, and I think it would be lovely to have a community place where people can chat about your videos, share music/art/recipes, and talk about Korea, and books, of course! You seem to have an amazing group of people follow you, and it would be incredible to have them all together!!
thank you so much and i've actually never even seen a discord server even though i've heard of them! I'll have to look into it and understand it better but maybe in the future, it sounds great!!
@@caricanread that sounds awesome! One of my favorite podcasts called Be The Serpent (a lovely bookish podcast by 3 fantasy authors, 2 women + 1 non-binary person) has a Discord community and it's full of lgbtq+ people who are really supportive and there is a lot of easy chatter about books and writing and tv and cooking and all the good stuff!
Cari, your other channel brought me here and I'm super happy to see you so excited about this new adventure you're on! :) Thanks for always making such enjoyable content!!! Love your videos! ♥
Watching you talk about books brings me so much joy!!! I would recommend to you "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt (my favourite book), it's a mystery thriller mixed with dark academia and it's just amazing. Also, if you liked "There There" you should read "A Little Life", just as you said, this book is one of my favourites this year but I didn't enjoy reading it because it's real, raw, sad and overall beautifully heartbreaking. x
omg i actually just started secret history but its sooo hard for me to get into hahah i think it reminds me too much of the snooty kids at my university that i hated LOL and i tried really a little life but i dont think i was in the right mind space so I will try it again soon!! i've heard nothing but amazing things!!
catching up on cari vids, realising she now has a second book related channel, then seeing some of my fave booktubers in the comments like whaaat??! HOW MUCH HAVE I BEEN MISSING 😂😂😂
Hello! I can really relate to how you explained your introverted capacity for interactions. 😊 I enjoyed Everything I Never Told You as well, and I’ve heard great things about Six of Crows!
I'm a middle aged middle school teacher from Dallas, TX and also love to read. Erik Larson is one of my fav authors. I too like all different genres...well except poetry.
I'm really excited about your future adventures on this channel! 💛 The way you described There There by Tommy Orange screamed A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara to me! I haven't read There There but it sounds like something I'd want to read. Thank you for the recommendations~ ⁕
So surreal to see a TH-camr I've been watching for a long time come over to booktube ♥️
i couldn't let you guys have all the fun without me!!
The two of you have been my favorites for a long time and now it's all coming together!
OMG Cindy hiiii 💖💖, you're here and your awesome, love uuu 😌🥰💜💜
I am sensing a collab... (waiting). :)
“I am a white woman who loves YA fantasy and true crime, so I’m kind of unique as it gets.” WHEN I SAY I DIEDDD 😂😂

Sorry I'm late, but I feel like "I was busy reading" is a valid excuse
ALWAYS!
My two favorite corners of the internet colliding: booktube and expat Korea! My heart is full!
yeeeeeee thank you!!!!
"I have a quota for comunication" I felt that and cheerd. I found someone like me! I look forward to future videos.
Yes!!! thank you!!
Can relate to the low threshhold for communication and not answering texts for three days😔
The people surrounding me don't seem to fully understand what it's like. They're okay with it, but I always feel guilty and then it takes even longer for me to answer
So it's kinda nice to see someone who does the same thing. I don't feel so weird/alone now
yeah i always feel so bad but luckily a lot of my friends are the same so they know haha you're definitely not alone!

Thank you! and omg I KNOW! I never want to leave this apartment only because of the window lol!
aaah i’m so excited for all your future videos on booktube!! so glad you decided to make a channel dedicated to your love for books 💕
thank you!!!!! im so excited too!!
Never heard of "Booktube" as a concept so I'm excited to see what you do here!
Have you ever read Cormac McCarthy? If not, check out The Road. It's about a father and son traveling through a post-apocalyptic America. It's very dark but beautifully written in his unique minimalist style. There's a reason it won the Pulitzer!
thank you!! i actually have never read the road even though its a classic! perhaps this is the year to change it :)
I love your energy, even through the screen, you seem like such a serene and peaceful person. I also loveeee the sun lit reading nook that overlooks the sky line...such a perfect place to read!

the main reason i want a blueberry bush at my home is because of those books hahahah
You are one of few non-booktube channels I’m subscribed to and now you have a book channel, I clearly have a specific type of content I like ahaha 🙃
hahahhaha glad i can help keep you consistent
I am so so so so excited about this channel! You’re the reason I’ve started reading on my iPad. I usually buy books in bulk lol but I’ve been renting ebooks from the library and it’s saved me tons. ❤️❤️

yesss! im the same, i feel like im reading SO MUCH! and thank you!!!
i started to follow you because of your murakami cafes video and so seeing you here now with a booktube channel has me fully losing it!! i'm so excited for this journey with you, i can't wait to see what creative videos you get up to and to see you have a lot of fun! books are the best topic forever 💓
wahhhh thank you for sticking around so long omg!!!!
your energy is so great!! I think most of us are introverts in the book community ✨Everything I Never Told You is one of my faves as well!
Thank you!!!
I'm so excited you started this new channel!!! I love seeing you talking about books, you seem so passionate and happy!!! And I love your recommendations too, so it's a win-win situation hahaha I'm excited to see more videos here (and in the other channel too, ofc)!!
heheheh thank you always!!
ahh so excited!! welcome to booktube, cari! i’ve never heard of There There before 😮 - you’re already bringing something new to booktube 😄
definitely put it on your to-read list!! and thank you!!!
I‘m so happy about this channel and video and can‘t wait for all your bookish videos!! 💕
THANKYOU!!!
I'm so so happy 😍 Cari your Videos always make my day so much better . So as a huge Book lover it's like Christmas right now 😍
Going back to this video again and again 🥺
I'm so excited for this!! Since the rona started i've been looking at screens/socials for far too long so getting back into reading sounds A+ right now and you always have the best book recs!
yes!!!! plus books are such good escapism :')
I was introduced to your main channel by the first book favorites video you made and I’ve been obsessed since! I’m so glad you’re making this channel bc I’m always looking forward to your book videos, love you 💕
wahhhh thank you!!!
I've been binging your content all day I'm so glad I've found you channel
I love this so much!! Thinking of doing this video as well😍
yesss do it!!
Cari congrats!!! So happy to have my favorite TH-camr on BookTube. I love reading but haven't really been able to focus on it so maybe now I can get into it again. Congrats on your first video on BookTube!!! Lots of love.❤❤❤❤
thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!
Love that your childhood home had bookshelves in every room 😂 welcome to booktube!
I just had to comment when I saw the
books you’ve read. I have read more than had of the YAs you listed, but I was way more excited when I saw your adult fantasy reads! Rivers of London is one of my favorites! I’ve read all 7 novels in the series currently out and absolutely love, not only the magic system and lore, but how well the author knows London (one of my favorite cities). His description of places and architecture make you feel transported! Can’t wait to watch your other bookish videos!
I'm so excited for this channel!!! I couldn't have subscribed faster. I wanted to ask you, Cari, have you ever thought about starting a Discord server for your watchers? There are so many great Discord servers out there, and I think it would be lovely to have a community place where people can chat about your videos, share music/art/recipes, and talk about Korea, and books, of course! You seem to have an amazing group of people follow you, and it would be incredible to have them all together!!
thank you so much and i've actually never even seen a discord server even though i've heard of them! I'll have to look into it and understand it better but maybe in the future, it sounds great!!
@@caricanread that sounds awesome! One of my favorite podcasts called Be The Serpent (a lovely bookish podcast by 3 fantasy authors, 2 women + 1 non-binary person) has a Discord community and it's full of lgbtq+ people who are really supportive and there is a lot of easy chatter about books and writing and tv and cooking and all the good stuff!
I can’t wait to have book conversations and recommendations 🥰 so excited for this new community!
hehehhe im so excited too!!!
so glad you made this channel!! very excited for the upcoming book content ! 💗
💕💕💕
Cari, your other channel brought me here and I'm super happy to see you so excited about this new adventure you're on! :)
Thanks for always making such enjoyable content!!!
Love your videos! ♥
thank you always AH!
Watching you talk about books brings me so much joy!!! I would recommend to you "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt (my favourite book), it's a mystery thriller mixed with dark academia and it's just amazing. Also, if you liked "There There" you should read "A Little Life", just as you said, this book is one of my favourites this year but I didn't enjoy reading it because it's real, raw, sad and overall beautifully heartbreaking. x
omg i actually just started secret history but its sooo hard for me to get into hahah i think it reminds me too much of the snooty kids at my university that i hated LOL and i tried really a little life but i dont think i was in the right mind space so I will try it again soon!! i've heard nothing but amazing things!!
catching up on cari vids, realising she now has a second book related channel, then seeing some of my fave booktubers in the comments like whaaat??! HOW MUCH HAVE I BEEN MISSING 😂😂😂
Bahahhah welcome!!!!!
Wooooo I'm at work but I'm so excited to watch this when I get home! We stan booktube Cari 📚
wahhh thank you!!
Hello! I can really relate to how you explained your introverted capacity for interactions. 😊 I enjoyed Everything I Never Told You as well, and I’ve heard great things about Six of Crows!
six of crows cracked my love of fantasy right back open, it was wild! definitely get that high up on your TBR list hehe
cari can read I just ordered it 😇
Congratz for the new channel..Expecting regular book related videos

So glad There There made it among your top 3 of the year so far!
such an important read!
I'm really excited about your future adventures on this channel! 💛
The way you described There There by Tommy Orange screamed A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara to me! I haven't read There There but it sounds like something I'd want to read. Thank you for the recommendations~ ⁕
Hope you get a chance to read it!!! Thank you💕
