Booktube Wrap-up & Reflections

Thanks everyone for 5.5 years of Booktube! I'm wrapping up my time on Booktube and reflecting on the experience as I close down my channel.

CONNECT WITH ME

Life has so many seasons. We never know where the road will take us. I am grateful for your positivity! ❤️❤️

This is the kind of reflective video I wish I'd made a year ago when I stepped away from Booktube as well. For very much the same reasons as you - life changes, new hobbies emerge, want to spend time on other things... I am so grateful I got to meet you through Booktube, to see you in person in Dublin, to buddy read awesome books with you. Friends are the biggest, best thing I got from Booktube, and you are one of them!!

Oh, going to miss your reviews and channel a lot! It’s been lovely getting to know you and your channel more over time, and I hope you continue to enjoy reading and your other hobbies / endeavours as well ❤ these are some lovely memories and moments to end on x

Hey Shannon, I will very much miss your upbeat and positive presence here! But please don't be a stranger. I hope you stick around at least to say hi once in a while and let your old friends know you're doing okay. These personal connections are worth more than their weight in gold! 😊

Aaaaahhhh I'll miss seeing you on here. Thanks for the memories (and the wonderful books you brought to my attention; my TBR thanks you!) and see you on Goodreads ❤

Thank you for all the great recs and videos, Shannon. Wishing you all the best!

What a lovely way to look back and appreciate the experience. This feels like such an end of an era, even knowing this was coming and knowing we'll still be in touch & I'll be all over your Goodreads 😄 5 years is a real commitment in anything, you really enriched the community over that time. I'm just so happy it connected us. I do selfishly hope you feel like coming back sometime, but this reflection feels like a perfect end cap.

I did not expect to have my heart broken on a Tuesday morning. Shannon I'll miss you so much! I can understand life taking new directions. I hope i get to see you either in videos on real life again. You were one of my favourite Dublin highlights! Ahhh I'm so sad. Sending many many many hugs

[rose_and_thorns]

I will certainly miss your content, but I'm glad that you're making this decision for yourself. Wishing you all the best! 💜

I'm from Brazil, I've loved books since I was a child and I'm studying English by myself by reading children's books. I love your channel because it has close captions, so I can read what you say (at 0.75 speed, lol). Even if you don't make videos for BookTube anymore, I'll keep watching your old videos because you read very interesting books. Good luck for you in your new life! 🤩🤩

[ombretales]

Loved your content, especially the ones with you and Sush. Stay happy 😀

[laraelwing]

❤ My booktube crowd was from 2010, and I also felt like stop making videos myself. It's great to have followed you through your years here 😊

[n.deleon]

I will miss you. Really enjoyed your reviews. Thanks for all the videos.

[ToriMorrow]

Aww Shannon! I'm going to miss you on here so much, and watching this feels bittersweet. The books I've buddy read with you are some of my favorite booktube moments! I'm grateful for those and have loved hearing your thoughtful reviews over the years ❤

[FinalBlowJoe]

Doing booktube for so long it's a natural thing that we change our perspectives and focus on different hobbies and passions in life. It's been good to know you and meet you and Sush in Dublin. I don't want to lose touch and hope to still meetup with the two of you somewhere again.

[SluggishReader]

Hi Shannon. This is a bittersweet video and I'm glad I manage to catch it as I'm only "returning" to booktube watching this week (the semester's coming to an end). I think it's always wonderful to look back how the experience changed you.
In any case, excited to meeting ya soon!!

[zixaz]

Aw so sad to see this but I understand. I really enjoyed your videos as I’ve gotten some great recommendations from you, with many being books I didn’t see anyone else talking about. And I love reading underhyped stuff! You’ve also inspired me to DNF more, which has helped my reading tremendously!

I wish you the best and hope you enjoy all the extra time you will have ❤
