    Welcome to BookTube. The “newbie jitters” will go away soon enough, and I’m sure people will look forward to what you have to say about books. I do.

    Hi - welcome to Booktube! I enjoyed your video. I wouldn't worry about any hi-tech stuff to start with - the most important thing is to be yourself, and you come across as warmly genuine and interesting - which people will love. I love the books you love, so I'm looking forward to more!

    Hey welcome to booktube! My channel is just a hobby to keep my video and audio skills sharp.
    I'm an avid horror book and manga reader but I'm open to other genres as well. Again, welcome to booktube I look forward to what you bring to your channel. 🙂❤️📚

    Welcome to the BookTube community! Gotta love the Hobbit. (Also, side note: "His Dork Materials" is genius. Wish I had thought of it.) Best of luck with your channel - I look forward to watching more of your videos. Luckily for me, there are already some here to dig into. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

      Greetings, fellow human! Thanks for the lovely encouraging comment. We'll both definitely get more comfortable on camera over time.
      I've just remembered the Demon Headmaster books, I loved them too. More nostalgia!

      Dragons are the best! I’m sure I’ll talk about them again sometime, perhaps an Earthsea video. 💜

    Welcome to Booktube! I want to read more sci fi in 2024, tomorrow I'm going to reread Dune. I enjoy reading horror and fantasy, mostly.

    • @genteelblackhole
      @genteelblackhole  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the warm welcome! I hope you enjoy your reread of Dune. It’s been on my radar for a while but I’ve yet to read it.

      @@genteelblackhole Your very welcome. I remember when I read Dune for the very first time. I was so invested in the world and characters. Every time I didn't know something, I looked up what it meant. I lived inside that book. Because I don't read much sci fi, I'm hoping it will be just as good.

    Now I may not be your favorite Booktuber but the camera thing is very relatable. I have found that fidgeting can help with camera nervousness (but that might just be me, myself and my ADHD xD). Otherwise: it comes with practice.
    Also: I object to the not funny part. You humor vibes with my humor, therefore you are funny xP

    • @genteelblackhole
      @genteelblackhole  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the tip! I’ve only recently realised my own neurodivergence (despite how incredibly obvious it should’ve been!) so maybe fidgeting would be helpful.
      Thank you for the kind words, I’m glad my humour vibes with yours. Honestly I already regret that jab at myself, I will remember to be kinder to myself. And stay silly.
