A new generation of booklovers are turning to Youtube to share their reviews and thoughts on their latest reads.
Brisbane-based “Booktuber” Piera Forde has almost 32,000 subscribers, and says that part of the reason she started her channel was because she rarely saw reviews of fantasy fiction in the papers.
Young adult fiction is also extremely popular among booktubers, and one of the perks of the job is getting advanced copies of books to read and review before the book has even been published, increasing the hype for new titles.
Forde says that "we're just hoping that it's something the publishers are cluing onto, realising that we're just as valid a platform as bloggers."
