I feel weird recommending the channel because I think the host sucks… but “Better Than Food”.

I can’t really put my finger on it, but his personality rubs me the wrong way, like if I bumped into him at a bar I know I would dislike him.

Having said all that, he recommends some truly outstanding books. I read many books last year off of his recommendation and discovered books that have changed my life. I doubt I would’ve found some of these recommendations without his channel.

I would just look up a list of what he’s recommended and then read a dust cover summary to see if they sounds interesting to you.

If any of you can understand spanish I throughly recommend ADEH TV which is an Argentinian channel that gives such and in depth discussion I haven't found anywhere else, everything from local writes to joyce to mythology and all in a lecture format of 30-50 minute videos usually.

Emmie, CarolynMarieReads, Jennifer Brooks, booksbyleynes, libraryofallenxandria, Books and Bao, Alana Estelle (she’s quite a small booktuber than the rest but her taste is eclectic) KDBooks, Coynie Reads (she reads mainly historical fiction) Roisins Reading, Brothers Gywnne (they tend to focus on fantasy and historical fiction but they do read other genres too) Benjamin McEvoy really focuses on classics and how to go about reading them, Why the Book wins

These are mainly Scifi and Fantasy booktubers for Adults:

Petrik Leo (mostly epic stuff)

Library of Allenxandria (also likes historical and military fantasy and ancient greek / rome)

Mike's Book Reviews (also likes manga and Steven King)

Emily Fox (a little bit of every genre)

Liene's Library (more diverse genre as well, very well spoken and has excellent in depth reviews)

Elliot Brooks (super wholesome, will sometimes do YA fantasy too but less so)

BooksandLala was going to be my recommendation as well!

For OP, LaLa does lots of themed months or experiments with her reading. Like she recently had a month where she tried to figure out if she liked romance so she had one video where she read books recommended to her by friends, one where she read books her viewers told her she'd hate, one week she used a professional service, etc.

She's just very good at figuring out what she does and does not like about a book, and hearing her explain that really helped me figure that out for myself.
