In this video I talk about how I'm moving away from booktube and becoming a more "variety" channel, and then go off on a massive tangent as I discuss booktube and booktubers, resulting in a breakdown of a sampling of the madness of Steve Donoghue. (No I'm not closing my channel and I will still make bookish content, sorry if this came across as a bit clickbait-y).

In this video I give my top 10 recommended books for people wanting to get into science fiction and/or fantasy, if new to the genres. This list is intended to help people who are coming over from contemporary genres like drama, romance, thriller etc. and wanting to explore the speculative fiction side of literature but not knowing where to start. If you have other recommendations that I missed, leave them in the comments or perhaps join our Guilded server and chat with us about them there. There's no definitive right answer here, as there's so many books you could choose for a list like this and I'm always interested to hear about more.

In this video I ruminate over the question of Free Speech, spurred on largely by the recent purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk.

In this video I discuss the relationship between critics and authors following the recent trends of authors like Christopher Ruocchio, Joe Abercrombie, and Brandon Sanderson having a more personal relationship with booktubers. Can we control our biases? Can we be objective? I also take a look at Children Of Maya, the first novel by Christopher Vastag which I've been sent to review, free of charge.

This is the first video in a new series I'm doing called, "A Guide To 2D Platformers". As a break from my booktube videos, I'd like to promote one of my most passionate hobbies, that being platformers. Here I discuss all kinds of platformers from the traditional Mario and Sonic, to the rise of the metroidvania sub-genre; and give a basic overview of what to expect. It's my hope that I can go into more depth in this series, with future planned videos being; "Platformers For Beginners", "Underrated/Overlooked Platformers", and best lists for various systems going back as far as the NES and Master System. I'd also like to do series deep dives into some of my favourite franchises such as Sonic The Hedgehog, Donkey Kong Country, and Castlevania.

WARNING: I swear a lot in this video... It is all justified. Perhaps the shortest book I will ever give a dedicated review to, and if we're honest this is less a review and more an impassioned rant about how horrible this piece of propaganda is, by a known race-communist SJW.
