Hi there Luke, I really enjoy your videos as it is so refreshing to here a man talk about books on TH-cam and i have to say I have very similar tastes in books, i.e mainly Thrillers/ Fantasy in fact a lot of my current reads are inspired by your chanel so thank you for that 😊 Just wondering if you considered doing a bookshelf tour, you don't have to go though every book you own just a quick overview of home library. BTW congratulations on 500 plus subs great achievement 🙂
Great video Luke :) I feel like not enough people recommend children's books as a good start. Another tip I would add in here, is once you've found that book or series that gets you into reading, look at the kinds of TV shows or movies you like and start to explore that genre a little bit. There are tons of videos people make comparing books to movies and TV shows, and for most popular shows and movies, you're bound to find something you like. Also, just try a couple of bootok/ booktube books. Sure they're not going to be the best thing you'll probably read, but they're popular enough that if you have friends who read, they might've read them or at least heard of them. And there's nothing more readers love than talking about books :)
I would say that about nonfiction too. On a lot of true crime, history, science, nature etc shows, there are people interviewed who have written about the topics/people.
Can you recommend new English beginners reading books. Not a native English reader. How to start English beginners. We can't understand more words and long sentences 😢
I enjoy your channel! But I think just saying "there's some drama around the author" re JKR is pretty dismissive of some seriously damaging transphobia that shouldn't be waved away so lightly. Also a lot of the stereotypes within the HP books themselves have not aged well at all.
I don’t see how people cannot disconnect the author from the books. The fact this author is saying unacceptable things does not take away the awesomeness of the books. I will never forget the feeling I got from reading this series and I will not let the author’s behavior change that. It is and will always be one of the best series ever written and everyone should read it to experience it for themselves.
A very fair comment Matt! I just didn’t want to get into it. We don’t need every discussion of Harry Potter on the internet to be a discussion on JK Rowling’s opinions too. Sorry if it seemed dismissive of the matter!
Oh shut up man. I don't even know what most of the authors I read do in real life, they might even be murderers for all I know. Just because JKR showcases her shitty opinions online doesn't change the fact that Harry Potter is worth a read.

She is right
@@Aniron99 I agree, I love Pink Floyd but I think Roger Waters is a dick
