Any Recommendations for Book Tube?

I don't like science fiction, modern issues fiction, chick/romance books, American fiction or American Book Tubers!

I like classic books, literary biographies, history fiction and non-fiction and literary fiction that isn't issue based. I also like some dystopian fiction.

I enjoy Book Tube but have only subscribed to two.

Miranda Mills reads a lot of re-issues, books like Dear Mrs Byrd and non fiction countryside books and she has lifestyle cosy living. It is all very lovely.

Diary of a Provincial Lady. This channel is really all about the books, no lifestyle edits, concentrating on classic and modern classic fiction. Kate is a young woman but she has an enormous breadth of knowledge and is a joy to listen to.

I like to watch them when I'm eating my lunch and wonder if there are similar channels that people follow and could recommend.

I like Tristan and the Classics. He's British and has introduced me to books I hadn't heard of. He's all about getting people interested in reading the classics - but he has broad taste - there's also classic crime/thrillers or classic Japanese etc.

I came here to recommend Miranda when I saw the thread title! Katie from Books and Things if you love historical fiction and Classics.

Thank you! I'll check them out.

I've tried Tristan and Katie and liked them both, so thank you, @BuffysBigSister and @TheQuietDignityOfASandwich

Diary of a Provincial Lady is still my favourite-I found her by chance-but now I have four channels to subscribe to and their back videos should keep me going for a quite a while.

Hello @Exloony

In my "extensive" search to find someone like Miranda Mills or Diary of a Provincial Lady, I've checked out the list that you were kind enough to provide. I've had a lot of fun doing it!

Lauren and the Books isn't for me-she's a bit loud and the books aren't quite to my tooth: too much fantasy and YA and not much discussion of them.

Ben Reads Good. I liked some of his videos and have subscribed.

Spread Book Joy. I couldn't get along with her voice and too much YA for me.

Louise Savidge Muses. I have subscribed. I like her delivery and most of the books, although she does seem very taken with prize lists. Thanks for this recommendation. It is very close to what I am looking for.

Raisins Reading. I couldn't find the channel.

Spread Book Joy. I quite liked her but too much YA

Redhead Reading. I was put off by her pronouns before I began watching! That said, I liked some of her choices and the way she spoke about them.

Books From My Bookshelf: Really liked her-and her dog. I've subscribed.

So many thanks to you and to @BuffysBigSister and @TheQuietDignityOfASandwich .

The Diary of a Provincial Lady is still my favourite by a long chalk but now I have enough subscriptions to ensure that there will always be a new video for me to watch.
It's a bit like having a decent TBR.

Thanks again
