Online book communities have grown a lot lately, and for good reason. They are dedicated to bringing all the book-related content that book lovers crave. One community that has grown especially is book channels on YouTube, where you can find all sorts of content, from reading vlogs, to book hauls, reviews, reading lists by topic or season, and news of your favorite authors.
The BookTube community has grown and diversified, with genres and topics for any taste. So, maybe you are an avid reader who is constantly looking for more new material, or maybe you really enjoy reading, but you don’t have the time or energy to invest in a story without knowing it’s going to be worth your while. This is where BookTubers come along. On YouTube, you can find countless content creators with channels dedicated specifically to book lists and reviews, so that you get new titles to add or scratch from your reading list.
The Poptimist
The Poptimist is one of the funniest and most entertaining book channels to watch. His book reviews are very in-depth, going into the category of investigation more times than not. Also, his TBR lists are some of the best around.
Rincey Reads
Rincey Reads is one of the BookTubers that offers more variety. For those who are looking to explore a lot of different genres from a broad variety of authors, Rincey is the best.
Her videos are very simple, sort and to the point. They are also the most inclusive, as every one of the videos offers Closed Captions.

Fight Mediocrity
With almost 2 million subscribers, Fight Mediocrity is the channel to visit to get advice in the form of short and quite captivating videos.
