Hello, I'm Jim, an Englishman living in Georgia (საქართველო) , the country not the state. Since 20 September 2020, this channel is primarily for longform videos related to books: reviews, hauls, TBRs, readathons etc...
My main longform content will be talking about books & reading & stuff and engaging with the Booktube community.
I have loved reading from an early age, this channel relates to my love of reading and bookish stuff.
Usually I put Booktube videos out on Sundays and Tuesdays or Wednesdays at 8pm Tbilisi time, 5pm UK time, noon Eastern, 9am Pacific. I post one minute reviews of the books I read.
With shorts I am experimenting with different random subjects like urban fishing, the Tbilisi metro, random books from the shelf, 360 degree views of Tbilisi. Shorts might be posted any time.
Follow me on Goodreads, Twitter, Instagram etc... (links below)
I always answer questions and comments.

My video ranking Dickens novels, which I put out in November, has passed 3000 views.... remarkable as most of my videos get between 50 and 80 views.... I should do some more ranking videos but it took me 20 years to read all of Dickens' novels.... maybe I could do a ranking of Jane Austen novels..but I would need to read Sense and Sensibility....

Katie @katiejlumsden (Books & Things) is asking Booktubers to give her lists of their top 10 novels before 1 July 2026, so she can compile a list of the Booktubers' top 100 in a way similar to the Guardian list of the top 100 novels compiled by asking various authors, book critics and Jack Edwards for their top 10 lists. If you go to her channel you will find the link. I submitted mine, which you can see below. Let me know what you think or tell me what your choices would be.
