Who are your favorites? Know of some smaller ones? People who don't all read the same SFF/Romantasy books maybe?
I love watching booktube but most of the people I follow are white, mostly cis women, and a lot of them read the same things. I just want to branch out! Find some more diversity both in term of the person talking and the books read. But I'm also not looking for people who make drama videos. I really don't care and the world is drama filled enough as it is. I watch booktube to relax, not engage in even more superficial conflicts.
So any recommendation? For me, for others, for everyone. Let's just share the goods! Bonus point if in your rec you can tell us what the person reads or mostly reads, so everyone can find someone :)
Thank you!

Whether it's sci-fi or fantasy, you like a big series. You love when a book says 1 of 5/10/50+. Is the reading order of the series hotly debated? Is there a wiki chart to show how the books connect? Even better. Come spend some time in these worlds.

This list is a community project, I asked in the club and received multiple suggestions which I then added onto a list: fiction and nonfiction, fantasy, contemporary, sci-fi, the main theme is just hope. Some people said their recommendation might not fit very well but I added it anyways.
Also, in the og post, I mentioned The Good Place and if people have recommendations tending to that, so some books are related to that.
