Ink and Paper Blog discussion

Hello everyone - Russell here.
I am going to be using Goodreads to discuss different books, and other topic from my Book Tube channel. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnHI...)
if you are not already following me over there.

Cannot wait to chat with everyone!

Really looking forward to this! I'm more of a lurker on social media, but will try and get involved in group discussions here.

Hi everyone, I'm April! I have a YouTube channel called Getting Hygge With It. I absolutely love Russell's channel and I am eager to chat with all of you!

I have been struggling to find a group that actually reads and discusses good books and where leadership is not either absent or a book Nazi. I think I have finally found a bookish home! Thank you so much.

Hello everyone, my name is Marcella. I'm an avid booktube watcher, and possibly future booktuber.

Looking forward to some good bookish discussions here and getting to know some other booklovers.

Hi, I'm Amy from Beaverton, OR and my booktube channel is Zoe Beck. I'm interested to see what you want to do here on goodreads. Love Russell's channel.

Hi, I'm Varsha. I absolutely love watching booktube, I've got so many fantastic recommendations from there. I don't have a booktube channel myself. But I really enjoy book photography and post reviews frequently on my bookstagram channel. Here's the link to it: https://www.instagram.com/between.boo...

Looking forward to some great bookish discussions with fellow readers!

Ho,my Jane is Simona and fronte Italy (Turin). Love Russell's Channel. Looking forward to some interesting bookish discussions.

Hi I'm Stacie and I watch Russell's videos religiously. I live in Hatfield in the UK. Looking forward to get to know everyone x

Hi all, I'm Mado from Canada (Toronto and, currently, Newfoundland). I'm on youtube as PhysiqueQuantique and mostly just lurk and comment on other people's videos. I've never been in a goodreads group but I have a feeling it'll be great to chat with everyone here : )

Hi! I'm Loralie from Minneapolis, and really love your channel Russell! I am really the only big reader in my friend group so I am looking forward to having a place where talking about books isn't weird!

Hello everyone!! Thank you for joining and introducing yourself. I am so excited about this - thought not exactly sure what how I am going to run it. All I ask is that people chat and be nice to each other. We will not always agree on books - but we can all agree to be friendly.
Thank you all for the nice things you say about my channel. I am so glad you all like it. There are so many great channels out there! I am glad to just be part of the community.

Well I hope that we can convince you to participate. Lurking is fine if that is what you are most comfortable with though:-)

April's channel is totally worth checking out! I promise she will recommend some great books as well.

I promise to try not to be a Nazi. As long as everyone is nice to each other I am all good.

Hi I am Maggie from Texas, US. Have a channel called Maggechatsbooks. Love your channel Russell and have gotten some great book recommendations from you already. Most recently The Housekeeper and the Professor. Looking forward to book discussions with the group.

Hi my name is Sandra and I live in Australia on the east coast where all the lovely beaches are. I have renewed my love for reading this year and love Russell's channel for bookish thoughts and recommendations (plus he is a lovely guy), so happy to support this group.

Hello bookish peeps. My name is Chris, and I hail from Indiana where you can find me cozied up in my apartment with my dog and a big stack of books. I simply adore Russell's channel and can't wait to see what the group has in store. I have a booktube channel at Chris Bookish Cauldron if you fancy a chat there. I look forward to everybody's bookish thoughts and recommendations. :)

Hi, I'm April! I live in Tennessee with a cat who thinks he's a dog.

So excited to talk books with y'all!

I would say sorry, but you know........ I cannot wait hear what you have bought?

Hi, I'm Vera from Belgium. Like Anna I'm usually part of the silent majority on book tube. I was looking for a way to get more involved. This group seems ideal. I hear my bookshelves sighing in the background though.

Hi, everyone! I'm Samm from Fort Wayne, Indiana. I have added several of Russell's recommendations to my TBR; our tastes are very similar. Thanks for starting this group.

Hi everyone,

I'm Catherine and I live in Cheshire in the UK. I love BookTube, although my credit card and TBR list aren't too keen. Have loved your channel since you started it Russell, you have a really calming style and my girls will often hear your voice coming out of the iPad and squeeze in on my reading chair to look at your tattoos. Looking forward to your book club.

Hi everyone,
My name is Britta, I am a writer living in Amsterdam & Cologne. I am also a booktuber, and on my channel called The Second Self, I talk about books written by female authors (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpQs...). Looking forward to chatting about books with all of you!

And thank you Russell, for setting up this group, I am sure it will be a great place to discuss books! x

Hello Everyone!

My name is Chris from Chicago! I am an avid reader, read 56 books so far this year! I have been following Russell's channel for quite sometime, and throughly enjoy it! I love to read, discuss and recommend books! I am looking to start my own booktube channel very soon, just got to figure out what my plan of attack is! Happy Reading everyone!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi, all! I'm Christina, and I run the lifestyle blog Adventures in Polishland. I found your channel, Russell, through Mercedes, and just love the way you talk about books! You always make me want to read everything you mention! I'm excited to join the group with all of you.

I actually tried to record a video a little while ago, but the sound quality turned out to be really bad.. So I'm trying to figure something else out :)

Hi all, my name is Louise, I'm Australian and blog (predominantly books but other things catch my eye sometimes) at http://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot...

I'm new to book tube and loving it although I've bought a few too many books so far...
Looking forward to this new group.

Hi everyone :)
I'm Rachel, I live in Leeds (West Yorkshire) in UK. So glad I found Russell's channel through MercysBookishMusings - I love it!
Russell I can't wait to see what you have planned :) xx

Hello everyone,

I'm Marivi, I live in Bilbao (Spain) and I've been following Russell's channel for some time (though I merely watch, and don't interact more than giving likes), and thanks to him I've found some interesting books. Can't wait to see what you have prepared for 2018! :)

Oh I hope this group gives you some people to chat with about books.

Hi, I'm Jillian and I live in New Zealand. I regularly watch Russell's videos, and I love talking about books!

Hello Russell, everyone. I'm Tracey , I am from East Yorkshire, England. I love to read. I read all kinds of books but honestly I'm leaning more towards classics these days. Having said that I've recently read and loved both Tin man by Sarah Winman and The underground railroad by Colson Whitehead. Margaret Atwood is one of my favourite modern authors along with Colum McCann and Haruki Murakami.
I'm looking forward to discussing books with you all. 😊

Hi everyone, I'm Helen from Scotland (live in West Lothian, work in Aberdeen). Love Russell's channel, amongst others on book tube. My iPad won't allow me to comment over there so looking forward to getting involved in the chat here!

I am thinking of reading some more classics in 2018. Some one asked me to do a classics video as well...

Let's see... I subscribed to One Story and bought:
Florence in Ecstacy
Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk
Th Good People
The Keeper of Lost Things
The Guest Cat
And
Pobby and Dingan which we talked about over on IG. Cried like a baby! So far it's the only read I've read.

Oh my goodness, that is such an amazing list! I am working hard to get Jessie -who wrote Florence in Ecstasy - to get to Nor Cal for an event. I talk about it with her all the time.

Hi Russell and all! I'm Deb from Chicago! I've been catching up with your youtube cast and love it! I followed BOTNS podcast and have been to Booktopia Vermont the last 4 years. I met you, Russell, at this last year's Booktopia! I currently listen to Literary Disco and the Book Riot podcasts. Looking forward to chatting about books!
