Just about Books

We have games, film/tv, tech, music, sport. What about just about books? Bounty wise in terms of commercial partnerships in the space you can have a partnered book of the month with related review bounties, fan fiction, illustrations, discussing specific characters etc. All sorts of similar bounties to what is in film/'tv space but for books.

In terms of potential partner communities, they could be by book/franchise/author/publisher.

Would any members be interested?

It was your post about what games to play that made me think of books. I'm similar with books where although I would like to read more, I don't really know what ones I should invest my time into.

with books it can be really hard to know what to read next!

Usually I go by authors I like and then you can also look at books the authors you like like that's fun!

I would recommend reading anything by James Baldwin (Giovanni's room is probably the best starter book for his work) because he is my favourite author mwahhhaahahahhhaa

You know I recently did a video about horror comics and even YouTube doesn’t have a literature/books section. The closest thing I could equate it to was Film and Animation due to my usual content and how I discussed the comics.

That's interesting. Does that mean there is no interest on YouTube in books, or there is, and no effort is made to accommodate it?

Horror and Cats 5/1/2024, 8:03:45 PM

Dave

I think the latter. There are plenty of book clubs and reviews and what not, but I have no idea what they categorize the videos as since there is not even a KIND of adjacent category.

yeah recently with the rise of colleen hoover and booktok there's been an influx of tiktok book creators to youtube to start making long-form content - the books they tend to be into aren't really my thing but it's really great that young people are getting into reading so I don't care how bad or good I think the books are hehehe

Massive reader of sci-fi/fantasy so yes, bring this on!

I had thought about suggesting this but I'm too awkward 😆 Thank you kind person for asking the question!

Anna 5/1/2024, 11:29:53 PM

I created an account here to ask when this was coming. The site is beautiful and I love the concept, but I think this would be a really fantastic addition. 💙

That would be a fantastic addition to JA as we can share and read more on books recommendations. I love reading.

As far as i know the "Analog" Book Market was dead in 2023. Don´t know how it is with the digital... audiobooks are kind of thingi

Would definitely love to see space for chatting regularly about books!!!

Wadd Enderas 5/2/2024, 1:23:16 PM

Definitely into this, I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy but always get stuck when I finish a series and don't know where to go next. Would love a community for Books!
