    Congratulations on your one-year anniversary, Tammy! I just recently became a subscriber because I stumbled across one of your videos (the ones you recently posted with your mom and dad). I thought they were so sweet and right up my alley. I love older books and what is considered vintage books so I seem to gravitate towards those BookTubers who share and review those. I enjoy hearing your thoughts and learning about new authors that I have never heard of. I’ve actually bought a couple of new books based on yours and your mother’s recommendations. I am happy to hear that you are sticking with RUclips. Please don’t get down on yourself thinking you won’t “ever be a big BookTuber” because there are a lot more of us who prefer your content over the shiny new books and BookTubers with all the bells and whistles. Your style, your voice, your comfy chair, and your book shelves are very comforting and it motivates me to dig into my books that I have collected over the years but never had time to read because of working full-time (I’m retired now) or staying busy being a wife and a mother to four children who are now basically grown and allows me more downtime. I look forward to watching more of your videos (you also mention a lot of the same BookTubers I enjoy as well) and hopefully participating in reading some of the same books you will be this year! Keep up the great work and I know you will continue to gain more subscribers! I pray that 2025 brings you many blessings and that each day you find a reason to smile because are smiling with you! God bless you and your family.

    Congratulations on a year! Stay true to yourself for your BookTube, no bells and whistles required. Most of my reading is British fiction from the 40’s -60’s. I do read some new books, but these older ones remain my favorites. I like authors like D. E. Stevenson, Molly Clavering, Barbara Pym, Dorothy Whipple, Elizabeth Cadell, Ruby Ferguson, R. C. Sherriff, and Susan Scarlett. And also Miss Read’s Thrush Green series, haven’t tried Fairacre yet.
    I also think Georgette Heyer’s Regency romances (Arabella was ok, but I liked others more). I also enjoy mysteries from that era, Christie and Patricia Wentworth as a couple. So I’m fine with backlists. 😊❤️ Have you ever tried Miranda Mills or Lil’s Vintage World channels? I found them during Covid and that started me on this journey of these books and I’m forever grateful for that! Happy New Year!

    Congratulations on 1 year on BookTube, Tammy! My favorite channels are the smaller ones that do not have all the "bells and whistles," so to speak. I selfishly hope you continue making videos past 2025 😊 I love your personal challenge of reading a favorite book of some of your favorite Booktubers. I looked up Legacy and it sounds great. Looking forward to each and every video you make in 2025 ❤

    Congratulations on your first RUclips Anniversary! This video was a very clever way to give a shout-out and a nod to some bookish channels. Oh those retro Harlequin covers! Love them! I will have to speed date a few of these books to see if they make the cut for a spot on my Want-To-Read list. lol Thanks for sharing!

  • @eMsBooksAreEverywhere

    I love the cover of Beware the Huntsman! When Stormy showed it, I wanted to find it right away. I’ll have to keep my eye out for it!

    Congratulations on your booktube anniversary! I love Arabella and Thornyhold is good also - you can't go wrong with either Georgette Heyer or Mary Stewart. Best wishes for 2025!

    Don’t think about stopping unless you just really want to stop. Don’t stop because you think that you don’t appeal to enough listeners with bells and whistles. Bah humbug! When I ran across your channel I thought….oh, wow, I really appreciate the calm gentle pace of your speaking style. You have a lovely family and I’m in awe of your immaculately ordered bookcase. Be encouraged…..

    You’ve set some great goals for 2025! Yesterday I was barely putting my scattered thoughts into words so I could come up with mine. I’m trying to keep it simple this year. Thank you for mentioning my channel! I did really enjoy my re-read of Emma last year. I hope you have a joyful experience with it, too!

    What a fun video Tammy!!! Happy New Year to you and yours - may it be kind and gentle! I love your idea of choosing a book from 14 different people - what fun! You make me want to re-read David Copperfield and the Memphis BBQ series is really fun (the author is a pen name for Elizabeth Spann Craig who is one of my favourite authors)

    Oh, look at all these sweet comments! I want to group hug all the commenters because they love your channel for the same reasons I do. Yes, ma'am, your channel is perfect just as it is. Not all of us watch or enjoy many of the Big channels. Your channel is calm, gentle, homey, and sincere. Its charm is it is not "a show" (and "for show"). We're a happy Tammy Tribe who revels in your style and content, a cozy place in a chaotic over-done world. I'm VERY happy it'll be part of my HAPPY 2025. You are my favorite channel of all time. 🥰

    Well this just made a good start to my day! Thanks. I have many tuber channels but I have a few people that I click on immediately and yours is one of them. And most of the friends your reading books of are mine too. Tammy was the first one I had ever watched and then came Sarah, then Storm and etc. I love watching you fill your bingo board each month and as you put on a stick look to see if it makes a bingo. I love watching you and hope you can continue for as long as you can. I have gotten many a book recommendation from you. Happy 1 year anniversary ❤🎉😊

    Congrats on your 1 year Booktube anniversary!! ❤ You should definitely do the videos you enjoy (and only continue Booktube if you enjoy it) and read books you enjoy above all else. I really love that you don't edit and don't have special effects. It makes me feel like I'm have a book talk with a friend. I wish more Booktubers would do that as well. I also love that you have meaningful discussions in the comments with us. Not many Booktubers do that so that makes your channel unique. In the last few years, I've limited my book buying to 12 books or less per year and that has worked well for me. It makes me read what I have, go to my library more, and really think about my purchases. I haven't felt restricted at all. My only other bookish goals for 2025 are reading the latest book in cozy mystery series that I'm continuing and continuing my blog. After that I'm just mood reading. Good luck with your 2025 goals! Have a wonderful week! 📚💛

    Happy Booktubeversary! 🥳🎉💜 You have selected some very good goals for the year!
    Yours is one of my favorite channels and I enjoy your videos just as they are. You don't need bells, whistles, etc., just you being you and cameos from the girls and your parents is perfect.
    Yes, I have noticed your schedule, I see the notifications while I'm working (I work from home) and will pop over to my laptop and add it to my Watch Today playlist and go back to work lol - then I don't lose track of it!
    I hope you like the Riley Adams - this is a pen name for Elizabeth Span Craig who is one of my favorite authors.

    You don't need all the bells and whistles Tammy. You do you and keep going and continue with your videos, I will always watch your videos.
    I look forward to hearing about all the books you reread or read from your shelves this year. Thank you for picking one of my recommendations and the shout out.

    Happy booktube anniversary! I enjoy your channel and love when your family is part of your videos! I used to have a channel where I talked about children’s books but decided being on camera wasn’t for me. I’m thinking of restarting the channel but with camera on books instead.

    Congratulations on your one year anniversary! I hope you have so much fun on BookTube this year that you decide to stay forever. 😊 I LOVE your BookTubers friend challenge!!!!! What a fantastic idea, and I'm honored to be included in your list. I'm going to check out the other channels I'm not familiar with, and I hope you really love Arabella. Great choice!

    So glad you stuck around as I love backlist book content lol.

    I’m so glad you’re still here! Please stick around. I love your channel and your videos. I’d be really sad if you stopped doing BookTube.
    I also want to go on a book buying ban in 2025! My exception is buying books that I’ve already read and loved. 😊
    Thank you for sharing some of your favorite BookTubers!! I’m doing something similar on my channel with reading books recommended or mentioned on other people’s channels! Great minds!! 💕

    Congratulations on your one year anniversary. I haven't been subscribed to your channel that long, but I think it was Storm that mentioned you and came to see what you were about. I like your videos very much and like the books you read, also your videos are very different than other book tubers. Thanks for your list of book tubers, always looking for someone new to follow.

    A whole year of RWYO? No book-buying for a year? I've been too easy on myself. I was thinking of some other namby-pamby plan, like only buying after I've read/donated a certain number. But, you know what? If you can do it (with your legitimate caveats), I can do it too, by golly. I just did the math. If I continue reading at the pace I'm reading now, I have 4 YEARS worth of unread books on my shelves. I'll be 70 by the time I've read them all...just in time for my girls to move me to a nursing home. HA! Just kidding! (I hope.)
