Hi everyone!
I’m Courtney, a booktuber ( https://www.youtube.com/BookEscapism ) who reads predominantly sci-fi and fantasy so I am super excited to be apart of the BooktubeSFF Awards this year!!

Hey guys I’m Staci I’m a booktuber! ( https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCccogC... ) I discovered the booktubesff awards last year and have be eagerly awaiting this years

Hi, I'm Maija! I'm Maija Reads on YouTube and the same on twitter.

I love reading fantasy and graphic novels/comics! Science fiction and horror, too, but fantasy is my first love. For the Awards, I'm always especially interested in the Best Graphic Work and Short Work categories.

Hi all! I don't produce any content on any platform, but many of you may have seen me in your comments. I recently changed my profile pic on GR, so see below for the one you might recognize. I'm very much looking forward to reading some excellent books with everyone. And of course finding new booktubers to follow!

Hi! Thomas here! Judging again... back for more punishment!

Hi, I'm Emma. I don't make youtube videos, but I love watching other people's. Very excited to follow along with the awards again this year.

Hello i'm Brandy, @brandylatriece on instagram. this will be my second year participating in Booktube SFF. I am super excited.

Hi all,

I'm Kaitlin, aka Kitty G on Youtube which I imagine is where most people will know me from. I've opted out of judging this year so I can see what it's like from the other side and join in only with those books I really want to read :) Looking forward to seeing how it goes this year!

Hi,
I'm Leticia and I love taking about books, following booktubers and taking part in Readathons.
I have a blog called My Writer's Journey that I try to update twice a month (when I'm not too busy reading all the books for the current Readathon) and I'm very active in Goodreads and Litsy with LeticiaToraci too.

Hello all! I'm Rachel, aka Kalanadi on Booktube and Twitter, where I mainly talk about all the science fiction and fantasy I read.

I am one of the awards judges this year. Like everyone, I'll be judging the Fantasy and Science categories, but also the Debut, Graphic Work, and Short Work categories.

I really look forward to this year's shortlist!

Hello! Scott here from the Booktube channel Book Invasion - https://www.youtube.com/bookinvasion

I'm fairly new to Booktube (5 months) but am an avid SF reader. I'm a fan of all the judges mentioned and I look forward to these awards and discovering some new channels and books!

Purely a reader/watcher here and not on any social media platforms but GR, these threads are great for finding new people to follow through the year though. I hit 150 titles read last year, mostly SFF, but I do read a bit of everything and at all reading levels/formats.

Last year I read nearly all of the shortlisted books before the final awards show, starting from only 1 read before the list was announced. We shall see if I can pull it off again this year - I'm hopeful I will have read more of what makes the list this time!

Hi I'm KJ

I blog over at Worlds in Ink and I'm on Twitter.

I basically read anything that falls into SFF, but mostly enjoy science fiction and fantasy with a dose of horror thrown in. I've also recently started exploring the (expensive!) world of graphic novels/comics.

Looking forward to this year's awards!

Hello,

I'm Reija and I booktube under The Book Finch and you can also find me on Twitter .
I mostly read fantasy, but am known to occasionally dip my toes into sci-fi as well. I'm also very big on graphic novels.
Looking forward to another year of awards. :)

Hi Everyone! Cass from What Cass Read. New judge this year and giving my thoughts on FIVE categories this year: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Best Debut, YA and Middle Grade.

Excited to see what makes it!

Woohoo! Glad to see the BookTubeSFF awards kicking off this year!

My name is Brock and my channel is Let's Read. Not that many 2018 books in my pile so everything will be a surprise. It will be interesting to see finalists this year.

Thanks to the wonderful people who have work on it each year!

Hi! I’m Mary, and I’m another of the reader/watchers. I only started watching booktube towards the end of last year’s booktubeSFF season, so I look forward to seeing it all unfold as the year progresses.

Hey all! I’m Angelika and I have a very new YouTube channel “Angelika Renee. I talk about books and art. My two passions! I love SFF and I absolutely enjoyed reading all of the books last year and I am looking forward to this year!

Hi everyone! Heather here. I don’t usually post in this group, but I’ve been following the awards since the beginning. I’m looking forward to seeing this years nominees!

Hi all! I'm just a reader here. :) I love science fiction and fantasy, especially with some horror thrown in. I adore things dark and mysterious. Can't wait to see the shortlist!

hi all! Alok here. I usually don't post here, and not on most channels I follow either. love speculative fiction, and many creators here.

looking forward to awards this year

Hello All! I'm Alana, a reader and avid booktube watcher. I read pretty widely, but my favourite genre is fantasy. Looking forward to seeing the nominees!

Hey Everybody!
My name is Yaniv and this would be my first comment in the group- so nice to meet y'all!
I don't produce content on any platform but love to see other channels (kitty g, kalanady, thoughts on tombs to name a few).

I love reading fantasy (mcClelan is one of my favorites) and started some very soft science fiction. Also trying to find some more female authers since I feel like there are so many good ones I'm not aware of.
If you're reading or just finished an excellent Adult SFF or book in general let me know!

Hi, I'm Kelsey. My booktube channel is The Fancy Hat Lady Reads!, but I'm a little absent right now, dealing with a family crisis. I'm hoping I'll be back up and running to do the Babbles, since those are my favorite videos to make every year!

Head on - John Scalzi

Hi. I’m a rabid reader of all things Sci-fy, fantasy and thrillers. I’m learning from you guys all I can and hope to launch my channel this year. I’m so glad to have found Goodreads and BookTube. I grew up not knowing anyone who read as much as I do so I’m glad to have these outlets. Thanks guys!

I'm Rachel from TheShadesofOrange Booktube Channel. I'm better known for my stabby horror content, but I've actually become a big SFF reader in the past few years. I usually prefer science fiction, but lately I've been reading and enjoying more epic fantasy.

Hello everyone!
I'm Panda, I love fantasy books and I have a blog ( https://littlepandareads.wordpress.com/) where I share reviews about books and other book related topics.
I'm also on instagram @sikalittlepanda

Hi! I'm Jess and I'm a book blogger. I'm more of a fantasy girl than a sci-fi girl (although I do want to read more sci-fi!) and 2018 saw me return to my first love, high/epic fantasy, which I now can't get enough of, but I also adore historical speculative fiction. I particularly love f/f SFF, and am running a reading challenge on my blog this February called F/Fantasy F/February where I'm reading a bunch of f/f fantasy - feel free to join in! :D https://jessticulates.com/2019/01/28/...

hiya! I'm jocelyn and you can find me over on youtube at yogi with a book.
I'm really excited for this year's babbles and nominations because I was just getting started on my channel for the 2018 sff awards. I lean more on the fantasy side of reading than sf, but I read so many amazing speculative fiction last year that I know this is going to be a tough selection.

Hey guys! So excited to be a part of this group. This is my first year on Goodreads and Booktube.
You can find me at Jena Reads Books: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp7d...

Go easy on me cause I’m new to everything.
I am reading a lot of the middle grades with my youngest son and hope to dive into more of the YA and Fantasy on the list ASAP! ✌🏻

Hi everyone,

I'm Agnes. This is my first time participating in anything like this, and I've only started reviewing books recently. No booktube channel or blog yet, but I'm considering starting a blog at some point. It's still in the planning phase though :D
I read just about anything that catches my attention, but my favourite genres are fantasy, science-fiction and mysteries, in particular historical mysteries and those taking place in countries with cultures different to mine.

Hey everyone, I am Robin.

As you can tell, I am obsessed with Westworld (from my Goodreads name LOL) I've been a fan of all things Science Fiction and Fantasy for as long as I can remember.

I've loved watching the Booktube SFF awards on Youtube each year, so I decided to finally nominate some books this year that I think deserve to be on the shortlist.

So exciting!

Hi everyone! I'm Lisa, I read a lot but do not have a booktube channel or blog (though I am considering to maybe start writing a Goodreads review when I finish a book). I discovered booktube and the awards last year and wanted to nominate some books this year, since I've realised that I've started reading more books when they are released (neglecting the ones waiting on my shelves) and there were a lot of good SFF books in 2018 that deserve attention. I intend to try and catch up on more interesting books that make the shortlist, too.

Hey everyone, so cool to see who's nominating what. Personally went for R.F.Kuang debut, Becky Chambers Science fiction and a few others. Am still looking for great new SFF booktubers (especially adult fantasy).
Waiting for the shortlist!

Hi, I've just discovered the world of Booktube SFF, but am a longtime SFF reader who is looking forward to following along with this list.

hi! i'm stephanie and i literally just found out about this so i'm very excited! i'm also a booktuber (https://www.youtube.com/c/ShutUpRead)

Hello, I am Kristina. I am not a book tuber. I wanted to read more fantasy/science fiction and discovered Thoughts on Tomes with Samantha. I received some wonderful recommendations on this channel and was educated on these awards. I am excited to find more books to add to my TBR. Thank you to everyone for making something like this possible.

Hi! I'm Kesara. I found Booktube SFF Awards last year after everything was over, but I'm definitely excited to participate in the read alongs this year. I'm a new book tuber: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeZO...

Hello, everyone! I'm a lurker I guess, I am not a booktuber, I have one personal instagram account where I sometimes post bookish things, but other than that... I'm just a reader! I'm interested in SFF and I just want to tag along and see which readalongs I can do with you.

Hi, all! I'm Shannon, and excited to participate in the process of the Booktube SFF Awards for the first time. I started a booktube channel a few months ago, That's So Poe, where I try to cover a range of book genres (fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, nonfiction, etc.). I'm definitely not current on all the new releases, so I'll do my best to catch up with the readalongs over the next few months!

Hi! I'm Linnea from Sweden. I have a YouTube channel where I talk about all sorts of nerdy stuff, mostly books and movies. Check out the link below. I'm probably mostly gonna be a lurker for this year's BooktubeSFF awards, because man is my life busy right now. Anyway, it's going to be fun to follow the awards as usual and I'm looking forward to everyone's videos. If I have time I'll do some babbles videos.

Hello all! I'm a lurker extraordinaire. Avid reader of all things, with more of a focus on fantasy and lately SF. Last year, I participated in reading the nominees that interested me. Certainly found some new favourites and pushed my tastes. I'm looking forward to the same this year!
