The Booktube Numbers Tag
Jim created the tag @jimsbooksreadingandstuff
His original video:
https://youtu.be/g2fXsaCMiD4
The Questions
1. What was your first Booktube video?
2. How many books are you currently reading?
3. What were the Top 3 books you read last year?
4. How many books did you read last year?
5. How many books have you rated as 5 stars this year?
6. Do you have a reading target for this year?
Are you on track?
7. How many pages long is the book you are reading now?
How long are your videos?
Do you have a favorite number?
Last Question: Do you have a book on your shelves with a number in the title or on the cover?
Only people who read description boxes are tagged, and those who have friends who read description boxes. Those people who feel that description boxes are for losers are DEFINITELY NOT tagged.
I have closed my comments going forward because while I enjoy making videos, I find it difficult to communicate by text. This isnt a criticism of the many warm and welcoming interactions Ive had with people on BookTube (this tiny corner of YouTube). I find social interactions very taxing, especially the tricky back and forth via text.
[I might also add that Im trying to disrupt the addictive/damaging feedback loop of positive/negative reinforcement that large social media companies building into their platforms.]
Sorry if you wanted to leave a comment, but this is how I get to be on social media (by not being particularly social).
Here is a video of me reporting on my six-month trial without comments if you REALLY want to hear more about it:
