Topic 9: A delve into BookTube History

Last weekend I had a look into when BookTube as name started, and posted a video about what I found.

Were you around prior to the 16th September 2011? When did BookTube come on to your radar?

Please do contact me on: raggysworld@yahoo.co.uk if you have any further information.

While I was doing the research I stumbled upon an old tag called 'My BookTube Story' which is just perfect for my research. The main questions being:

1. How did you come to booktube? (Why did you start making bookish videos?)

2. And more importantly...why do you stay? (what do you get out of your channel? What keeps you posting?)

I would add to these questions also:

3. Why BookTube? Why not just read the blogs, write blogs, go to a book club, or just read Goodreads? What is it about BookTube that keeps you here?

4. If you are someone who reads blogs and watches BookTube, where do you feel more at home, or are they both equal? What is the difference in community, is there any?

I hope you are all having a wonderful day. Do get in contact with me if you know anything, or wish to add anything.
