Observations:
- Still bummed at how few classics I'm reading these days. In order to fix that, I'm "hosting" (there's not much to hosting... I just created a challenge page on The Storygraph!) a challenge to read SIX CLASSICS this year. The Classic Six Challenge and if you want to commit to that, you can join here.
- And wow, but the non fiction really went up this year! Go me! I feel like seeing the genres all listed out like this shows that my reading is pretty varied. I like that.
- YA Contemporary romance type books are still my favorite though.
- And look at that 7 audio books! Who knew! LOL! (It's all the driving!)
- Next year I want to do more graphic novels and maybe even some manga. I kind of love it. I guess I should do a post here with all my goals!
KDRAMA STATS
Total Kdramas: 8
5 hearts: 6
4 hearts: 1
3 hearts: 1
I watched much less this year, and tried to watch a few American type shows. It was okay but Kdramas are still very much superior.
YOUTUBE STATS:
Total videos uploaded in 2023: 18 long videos, 0 shorts
Subscribers at year end: 40,262
View count at year end: 19,300,895 million
As of this moment, I plan to be done uploading to this channel. I might do one or two more favorites videos, but I will be stepping away for the most part. It's been an amazing ride and I still can't believe the things that happened thanks to the channel. It's hard to be done, but I think it's time.
Total videos uploaded in 2023: 126 long videos, 43 shorts
Total Views at year end: 226,584
Total Subscribers at year end: 1,338
The booktube channel is not doing as well as I'd hoped and often I think about just dropping it and coming back to blogging. But I want to make videos. So there's the struggle.
What an amazing year! Congrats on surpassing your reading goal and exploring diverse genres. Your dedication to creating and sharing on YouTube is inspiring—here’s to an even more fulfilling 2024!

Busy, busy year for you! I haven't ever been able to get into BookTube. Blogs are my preferred medium for posting and reading, so I mostly stick to them. When they go, I go! LOL
ReplyDeleteI definitely resisted the booktubing thing. I love making videos so it's actually quite fun for me, but I really miss the old blogging days. I'm glad you are still doing it! Hopefully it will truly never go!
