Really Random Reads

Hi, I'm Andy. I started this in channel Dec 2024 and called it Really Random Reads because unlike all those brilliant Booktube tube channels that so passionately cover specific genres, my reading is a bit all over the place.

Expect a mix of fiction old and new – and non-fiction, including biography.

Sci-fi and fantasy will probably be rare, but you never know…

Sweet tooth for horror and modern classics.

There’s a few “Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started BookTube” videos doing the rounds 📚 This one REALLY STANDS OUT. It doesn’t have as many views as others, but it should 👀 I’ve had my channel 6 or 7 months and it rang true. I also learned things watching it. Check it out #booktube

I came back from walking Hadrian’s wall with Pickle 🐶 to discover ‪@heathereads‬ has made a great video building on my thoughts about feeling bored while reading Persuasion, check it out 👀 Heather extends her thinking to Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. Here’s my originals if you’re interested, but make sure you check Heather’s out 👉https://youtu.be/0Iu5KS-z1uo?si=8F-b5... & https://youtu.be/UMXbWNN6Yd8?si=Nh-xe...

‪@SandySaysRead‬ has a gift for story-telling, as shown in this latest video where she does my BookTube Embarrassment Tag (original version here: https://youtu.be/VN7ycrEBflQ?si=CJbJ-.... Be sure to check Sandy's version out. Also, it's interesting how often this tag brings up bad experiences with teachers/educators. Thanks for doing this tag Sandy 🙂

My reading is random (as the name suggests), but as well as modern classics, I have a definite soft spot for horror. Check out this new book tube horror channel if you get the chance, it’s videos are authentic and well made - ‪@That.HorrorChick‬

‪@jamesholder13‬ is the latest person to do my book tube embarrassment tag. Hear how an educator tried to deter him from Tolkien…
