Ahhh, welcome to BookTube!! It's so so exciting to see more Black people on here and you sound like such an awesome person with warm energy! I've subbed, and as someone who's been doing this for a while, it's great to see you here!
@@Yesica1993because it’s nice to have people who look like you (and maybe see the world the same way that you do) sharing the spaces that you also enjoy.
As a black man, it's so nice to see more black people getting into booktube, makes me wanna create my own channel someday haha. Welcome bro! I'll check your videos out.
Omg HEY! 👋🏾 I’ve only just seen this so apologies! HUUUUUGE welcome to BookTube! What a fabulous video and I know your channel is going to be a hit. It’s so amazing to see more black/POC booktubers! Also, your taste in literature is so interesting. I’m really excited to see more from you. Oh and of course I’ve subbed right away. ☺️🫶🏾 P.S make sure you share your Goodreads or Storygraph so we can all go and follow you. ☺️
Hey, Nickelle! Thank you so much for the warm welcome. Watching your channel has been such an inspiration! Thanks for the tips on linking to goodreads!
You would not believe how many educated people are really stuck in their bubble. I've met so many doctors and engineers and they're very smart but only when it comes to their field - they can only talk about their work and that's it. It makes people very capable but so boring, like what do you talk to them about that's not their work? So, seeing someone like you is a breath of fresh air! Welcome to booktube! Hopefully, I'll join the ranks soon :D
Welcome to booktube! I’ve been watching videos within this niche for over 10 years now and I can count on one hand how many Black men I’ve seen. Your perspective and voice is very much needed. Can’t wait to see what you read!
as a literature student who feels a bit lonely with her love for reading sometimes because her friends are mostly STEM people, this video made me smile. also, I really enjoy the sound quality in this vid and your voice in general! i'm excited to see where your bookish adventures will lead you.
Definitely agree with you on reading physical books. After staring at a computer screen all day, ink on paper is a relief for both the eyes and the mind. Welcome! 😺✌️
As someone who recently graduated with an Information Systems degree, I can definitely relate to feeling like reading as a hobby is not always well regarded in tech spaces. I’m excited to see someone with a similar background join this community. Welcome to booktube! 🎉
that's fascinating to me. why isn't reading more popular in tech spaces you think? not an appreciation for the humanities in general? i've seen some people argue that...
So grateful for all the new booktube channels, and for the algorithm showing them to me !! On earth we're briefly gorgeous is an incredible book, I'm looking forward your review 🌞 As for recommendation, if you haven't read it yet, Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson is truly brilliant and I'll never shut up about it!
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmer! This is one of my favorite books of all time! The reflection of Kimmer's life, loving our mother earth, learning respiratory with all life, the science of so many different things, and so much more! This book made me reflect on my own life so much!
Welcome! Great to hear your answers. Making videos about books is definitely a great way to better remember and think about what you’ve read in more depth. I’d have forgot most of what I’ve read if I didn’t record it. 😅 I’ve been getting back into Greek myths after watching an excellent recent series on Amazon prime that describes these stories. Looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts about what you’re reading.
Hi Dolapo! I really resonated with this video. I attended an engineering college for my undergrad and got a CS/Math degree, and for my graduate I attended another CS program at a public university. I loved my peers and those programs but they definitely tended to be cultural monoliths! I completely empathize that being a lit fic person in those cultural silos can be discouraging; not being into videogames/anime/fantasy/tech-bro culture has often made me feel a bit like an outcast at times. I’ve found that booktube can be a good outlet for finding people with different interests!
Your voice and cadence is so calming, the way you express and articulate your thoughts is really compelling, and your smile makes me smile!! And your thumbnail is great! I'm very excited for your videos!
Welcome to the warm and wonderful community of booktube. You’ve listed many of my favorite books! Love your calm and thoughtful style. I’m looking forward to your future conversations!
WELCOME Dolapo!! Booktube is so fun! I 100% relate to reading a bunch of self-help nonfiction and having the desire to move away from that. Happy to see fellow STEM major in Booktube. I studied Chemical Engineering in college 😀Excited to see more videos from you!
Immediately subscribed - love your unique background and intention (I also work in tech!) and appreciate your calming, articulate voice. Fantastic to see more black booktubers in my feed lately too! x
I think I can relate to you! I lived abroad for years and made friends who love reading there, but now that I'm back in the U.S. and in a new city, I don't have anyone I can see/talk to regularly who reads much at all. I'm also a STEM person so it was already hard to find those reading friends in the first place 😅 Having the online book community is such a great way to hear about a variety of books and see others' thoughts on what they're reading... somehow I feel such a sense of connection with people I don't even know. Welcome to booktube, I'm so happy to have come across your channel as you seem so kind and interesting ☺
Welcome! I’m a math teacher (so STEM-adjacent, but sometimes I get imposter syndrome when I call myself STEM EEKI) who loves to read and sometimes that’s hard for people to comprehend. So happy to have you in this space! You are very well spoken and calming.
Welcome to BookTube Dolapo! I am also in a career with a very specific worldview and culture (I'm an electrical apprentice) and joined BookTube to have discussions with other readers with similar interests. We have some overlap in reading taste in that I enjoy reading books that expand my worldview and allow me to learn about the experiences of others. I subscribe to a lot of channels that talk mostly about fantasy and yes, I love a good fantasy book, but I have been wanting to find other BookTubers with a wider variety of fiction interests, so I'm very happy to find your channel!
Hello! I totally agree -- I love an immersive fantasy story but also love a book that allows me to learn about the experience of others. Thank you for your comment!
Ahhh! I have also seen NickellesNook's booktube newbie tag and have been thinking of participating myself. While I'm not exactly *in* tech (I am a visual designer in the Bay Area), I totally understand what you mean about wanting to broaden your interests in literature. Welcome, welcome! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on all kinds of books (:
Welcome to Book Tube from the land down under... Australia. Reading books is a way to share lifetimes through infinite possibilities.... Then a movie shatters my mental health causing a mental breakdown. Hypersanity is having a mental breakthrough reaching new heights. Continue your passions friend.
i have not had the greatest day today so i feel so lucky that this popped into my recommended !! the chill music, your calm voice and good book taste, everything in this vid is just so *chef's kiss* its so exciting to see more poc in the booktube space !!! as someone who is poc and also has that combined passion for stem/computer science and literature, i really feel like i've found a kindred spirit (: keep up the great work, i can't wait to see what you put out next !
New follower and welcome. Look forward to hearing your thoughts and sharing your journey. Good to see a black man talking books and ect. Happy Holidays🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄☺️☺️☺️☺️
i really resonate with what you said about wanting to properly get to grips with the ideas and perspectives behind the books you read, and also resonate with that eclectic desire to expand into all sorts of genres - i feel like i am also in that place right know where i just want to expand my horizons, both in terms of reading widely but also DEEPLY! I'm really excited to follow your discoveries and discussions 😊
Amazing selection of book examples, I really love how wide variety of books you are interested in, and I have wished to find more booktubers who go deep into the discussions. I’m thrilled to follow and see what kind of content you come up with!
Welcome! Can't wait to see more from your channel. Super interesting taste in books and genres! And pretty sure I'm already smarter just from watching this one vid.😆
This is so interesting- I have a literature degree but am now working in the tech space, and am definitely feeling the lack of literary discussion - excited to hear more from you 😊
Instant subscriber! Perhaps it is the way the computer science part of your brain naturally works, but I love the way that you crafted your responses in such an organized & formulaic, yet thoughtful and warm manner! Which sounds a lot like what you're trying to marry between your two interests of tech and books. And very much a fan of books that challenge our perspectives and engage us in true critical thinking. Looking forward to more of your Booktube recs :)
I’m so happy that you decided to create this space for literature and tech. I’m a PM from Brazil that loves books and booktube. I’m excited to see what you post next 😊
Hi Dolapo! Your book selection is sooo varied, I love that!! I think its easy to fall into reading niches within booktube, so the fact that you read so widely is exciting! Very very happy to have come across your page. Looking forward to following along with your journey on here 😊
Welcome to BookTube! We're so happy you're here! Just from the books you show that you read I am very interested as my interest in literature is similar and maybe I will find new interests, as well, so looking forward to your content. Have fun! 📖
When I first heard you speak, I said to myself that this gentleman has to be some type of engineer. Then you said you said you were a computer scientist, and I thought close enough. I work with network, electrical and RF engineers along we a few computer scientists. I must admit that I do not recall any of the folks at work discussing books/literature. It is mainly video games I hear about. I love the fact that you would like to discuss the thoughts and ideas that authors hope we discover while reading their books. I have subsçribed to your channel and look forward to hearing from you. Respectfully, Donna
Hi, nice to meet you, Dolapo :) I really enjoyed this; immediately even, I subscribed within the first 20 seconds haha. Looking forward to hearing you talk about books. Best of luck with your channel!
Welcome Dolapo! I'm so glad you've joined, can't wait to see what you've reading and hearing your thoughts. And I'm proud to say I'm subscriber number 225! Best wishes to you : )
You put a smile on my face with your diverse selection of books :) I enjoy watching booktube videos but often I feel a bit frustrated with the focus on just certain genres and types of books, when there's so many other options out there! Hope to see more of you around here, welcome!
Welcome! Thanks for the great video. I'm looking forward to seeing more from your channel. I too am looking to read more widely and think outside of my work-headspace. Happy reads!
Welcome! I'm excited for your channel. I pop in and out of Booktube but your thoughts on wrestling with the texts really resonates with me. I adore literary analysis but, you're right; so many people tend to just focus on the surface story and don't notice all those cool bits when you slow done to dig deeper.
Love the range of books you're reading. Also the aim of having a slower and more in-depth examination of books; that's what I am doing as well. Look forward to your content.
I’m late but so glad I found your channel! I’m a librarian at a stem university and found that our comp sci and engineering students love talking about books. Many use reading as a way to destress from their rigorous coursework which I think is great
subscribed once you mentioned On Earth We're Briefly! One of my favorite books in recent years, especially coming from an immigrant Vietnamese home. Loved the vid, excited to see more vids from you!
Hello!! So good to meet you! Cannot wait to see what you bring to booktube!! I always love finding new artists to follow!! Also, based on the books you mentioned I highly recommend Bell Hooks, Clint Smith, and Maggie Nelson!
Hi there and welcome! I'm looking forward to your discussions and reviews because you have such a calming presence and overall you seem like a smart and thoughtful person with interesting things to say. You just earned yourself a follower from Finland :)
This is the best idea ever! BEST cure for winter blues. I have made so many incredible international connections from BookTube and have had my thoughts changed so much as a result of exposure to new ideas and new books. Welcome :)
seeing this being recommended couldnt have occurred at a better time; i just finished a rhetoric course on transhumanism and, now, seeing your interests in literature and CS feel like a blend catered to extend my interests in navigating between the two! basically, a complicated way of saying im looking forward to ur future videos :)
Welcome to booktube! I'm a Data Scientist, so sort of computer science-adjacent but I found very few booktube content creators who are in STEM fields, despite the fact, that in my experience with my friends and acquaintances, a lot of people in STEM love reading, both fiction and non-fiction. So I'm looking forward to seeing future videos from you and have a more tech related perspective in the booktube space!
your voice is so smooth and calming, i could listen to it all day!! also idk if you're into memoirs or autobiographies, but the last book i read was I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennete McCurdy and i highly recommend it! not sure if you've already read it or heard about it, but it's really good. anyways, i think it's pretty cool getting that relation between computer science and literature, those are two things that are rarely ever paired together but i believe everything in this world can be connected and bring us another point of view. well, welcome to booktube and i hope you have a lovely time!
Awww thank you so much! That is SUCH a nice thing to say!! I just checked it out on goodreads and it seems like something that would be right up my alley. And I totally agree! It's crtical to have more people in tech reading a wide variety of perspectives and experiences.
I'm not even joking when I say I squealeddd like a fan girl when I saw your video suggested to me!! We loveee to see Black men on booktubeeee!!! I'm extending my warmest welcome to you🥰🥰🥰 Immediately subscribed.
just subscribed after this video. audio was really good and crisp. look forward to your next videos and the perspective you bring. especially when it comes to tech. sounds fascinating.
welcome Dolapo!!! No pressure but with how much you talked about craving discussion, you might enjoy making a discord for this community as it grows. Sending all the best vibes!
I was just browsing feeling my own seasonal blues and this video shows up, damn if I’m not immediately subscribing ❤ Books got me through this year, hear people talk about it is always a joy 😊 welcome to booktube 👋🏼

You had me at “expand past my current horizons” and “seek the widest perspectives”. Deep respect. Take me with you.
I love how varied your book tastes are! I identify with the struggle & finding the balance between electronic and 'real' books.
Thank you! It's such a tough balance. Digital is just soooooooo convenient though....hahaha
ur voice is so calming !
That's so kind! Thank you

Love the range of books you're reading. Also the aim of having a slower and more in-depth examination of books; that's what I am doing as well. Look forward to your content.
Thank you!
I’m late but so glad I found your channel! I’m a librarian at a stem university and found that our comp sci and engineering students love talking about books. Many use reading as a way to destress from their rigorous coursework which I think is great
Thank you for being here!
Subscribed! I can't wait to see you flourish on booktube!
Welcome! I love your cozy vibe.
Aw, thank you so much, Lina!
Fantastic!!!! Wish you all the best with your channel. Welcome. Subscribed and hit notification bell
subscribed once you mentioned On Earth We're Briefly! One of my favorite books in recent years, especially coming from an immigrant Vietnamese home. Loved the vid, excited to see more vids from you!
What a fantastic book. Still reading now, but WOW...
So glad I discovered you here on booktube! Love your voice 😭 Currently binge watching your videos right now!
Thank you for watching!
Ooo i just found you! 😊 subscribed!
Getting to glimpse into another world is why I read
If it werent for audiobooks, i wouldn't be able to read at all 😬🤪
Looking forward to your discussions 🤓
Best of luck! 😊
Hello!! So good to meet you! Cannot wait to see what you bring to booktube!! I always love finding new artists to follow!!
Also, based on the books you mentioned I highly recommend Bell Hooks, Clint Smith, and Maggie Nelson!
Hi Kate, thank you! Was just reading the will to change by bell hooks the other day!
@@DolapoAdedokun I have had that one on my TBR for a while now! I’ll be sure to pick it up!!
Hi there and welcome! I'm looking forward to your discussions and reviews because you have such a calming presence and overall you seem like a smart and thoughtful person with interesting things to say. You just earned yourself a follower from Finland :)
This is very very kind. Thank you so much! It's so heartwarming to hear I have a gentle presence.
Just Subscribed! Looking forward to your perspective and how you plan to share your findings in the books you choose to read :)
This is the best idea ever! BEST cure for winter blues. I have made so many incredible international connections from BookTube and have had my thoughts changed so much as a result of exposure to new ideas and new books. Welcome :)
seeing this being recommended couldnt have occurred at a better time; i just finished a rhetoric course on transhumanism and, now, seeing your interests in literature and CS feel like a blend catered to extend my interests in navigating between the two! basically, a complicated way of saying im looking forward to ur future videos :)
Welcome to booktube! I'm a Data Scientist, so sort of computer science-adjacent but I found very few booktube content creators who are in STEM fields, despite the fact, that in my experience with my friends and acquaintances, a lot of people in STEM love reading, both fiction and non-fiction. So I'm looking forward to seeing future videos from you and have a more tech related perspective in the booktube space!
Excited to see where you take your channel!
Welcome to BookTube! Hope you have a good time here. And what a start you got! Really happy for you! I just hit 100 subs after 1 year of posting 😅
your voice is so smooth and calming, i could listen to it all day!! also idk if you're into memoirs or autobiographies, but the last book i read was I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennete McCurdy and i highly recommend it! not sure if you've already read it or heard about it, but it's really good. anyways, i think it's pretty cool getting that relation between computer science and literature, those are two things that are rarely ever paired together but i believe everything in this world can be connected and bring us another point of view. well, welcome to booktube and i hope you have a lovely time!
Awww thank you so much! That is SUCH a nice thing to say!! I just checked it out on goodreads and it seems like something that would be right up my alley. And I totally agree! It's crtical to have more people in tech reading a wide variety of perspectives and experiences.
Booktube recommendations are working ovettime lately! So glad I came across your video, subbed. Ps: You have the most pleasing voice to listen to haha
Welcome ❤ just discovered your channel, really enjoying so far.
Thank you for the warm welcome, Minnie!
I'm not even joking when I say I squealeddd like a fan girl when I saw your video suggested to me!! We loveee to see Black men on booktubeeee!!! I'm extending my warmest welcome to you🥰🥰🥰 Immediately subscribed.

I'm really happy to stumble upon your channel 💛
Welcome to Booktube! Excited about your videos.
Have a joyous journey here.
Yup literature and books 📚 are amazing but sadly I don’t read much as an adult. It’s like I left it behind especially when I started college.
just subscribed after this video. audio was really good and crisp. look forward to your next videos and the perspective you bring. especially when it comes to tech. sounds fascinating.
welcome Dolapo!!! No pressure but with how much you talked about craving discussion, you might enjoy making a discord for this community as it grows. Sending all the best vibes!
Welcome to booktube! I love the variety of books you read! Can’t wait to hear more of your thoughts. 😊
