- My first (somewhat) acceptable video as Dutch GreyBeard was published on April 21st 2023. Which means that I can celebrate my first year as a BookTuber.
In this video I go into my reasons for starting this channel, what I like most about making CZcams-content and how this first year has been for me.
Yea! 🎉🎉 It's been a wonderful year! Thanks to you, I have read some awesome and life-transforming books as well as some just for pure entertainment. I am constantly amazed at your command of English and thankful that you choose to use it (despite it taking much more effort) for your channel!! Visits with you, whenever they show up, are greatly anticipated and enjoyed. Thank you for your time and hard work. I look forward to more of your reading journey. 🥳🥳
Thank you so much, BJ. Your words are inspirational🙏🙏
Happy Booktube anniversary, Ed! I've been a viewer of many bookish channels over the years and after discovering yours, you immediately climbed the ranks to become one of my all-time favorite voices in the Booktube community due to your incredible taste in reading material, thoughtful commentary, wit, and charm. I'm always excited when a new video of yours comes out! You've been doing a fantastic job and I agree with your perspective on the algorithm -- very wise. Here's to many more videos for as long as you enjoy making them!
Wow! Thank you, Amanda, for these warm words. I cherish them!
congratulations on one year! (i'm very behind lol) your channel is great and you have one of my favorite intros 😄
Congrats on the anniversary! You're absolutely killing it. You're very right, ignoring the algorithm and making whatever you want to make's the best way to have the most fun and enjoy doing CZcams. Looking forward to watching more of what you have in store for us!
Thanks! So many kind words. 🙏🙏
Congratulations on your one year channel anniversary! I most sincerely want to express my profound appreciation for the positive, nurturing and invigorating space that you've created, and for so passionately sharing your inspirational joy of reading with us. Your compelling content, elaborate manner of speech and kindly nature connect with me, as you remind me of my grandfather, who always encouraged my love for literature and history, and whom I remember fondly, as he's no longer among us. Onto another, even more successful year!
Thank you for so many kind words. You make me blush!
Congratulations on 1 year of booktube, I look forward to watching many more of your videos.
Thank you 🙏🙏
Congratulations on 1 year! I love your content. My only wish in regards to it is that I had more time to watch BookTube, so I could actually keep up with it and watch it all. 😅 looking forward to year 2!

Congratulations! Long may you run. To say thank you, I have started reading Duncton Wood.
Thank you 🙏🙏 Love to hear your thoughts on Duncton Wood
Happy 1 year anniversary! Absolutely LOVE your channel, and am excited for what comes next! :) - Most channels I watch tend to be people reading the same old thing and the same recommendations, here I pick up new things/ideas and I really enjoy the in depth analysis you make, the honest reviews and quotes you share etc - Thank you for the effort you put in.
Thanks. This kind of response is all the reward I need 🙏🙏
Congratulations on one year Ed! 1.4K subscribers in a year is very impressive! I'm happy to hear that you are making the videos that you want to make, and not chasing the "almighty algorithm" because I believe doing that takes the enjoyment out of the video making process.
Thnx Daniel, exactly, it’s an absolute kill-joy if you don’t watch out… 🙏🙏
Such a wonderful year! Thank you for sharing your journey with us and I can't wait for many more years of this shared journey.
Thank you. 🙏🙏
Congratulations. I have been really enjoying your videos. I think the ethos of only making the videos you want when you want is a good and healthy one. I like the heavy metal intros and the delicate folky outros. Wishing you all the best for the next year,!!
Thnx Edward, to me that intro music piece never gets old 🎸
Congrats! It’s nice to hear that you’ll keep doing what you like to put out and not be controlled by algo and which types of videos garner views.
🙏🙏
Congrats on one year! I'm glad to have found your channel early in your journey. You're truly an excellent content creator, and I feel it's only a matter of time before the rest of the Internet catches on (and the funny money starts rolling in).
I fully trust your feeling on this...
Congratulations! I have found your channel through your Robin Hobb videos. I think your videos are very well structured, refreshing and informative. Well done and I hope you will keep at it for many years to come - and that it will be worth your time and effort you put into these. Sending luck all the way from Serbia!
Thank you so much for these kind words. 🙏🙏
Happy Anniversary DG! I really enjoy your channel, the videos you make and trust me I’m always hoping to see a new upload. Your dive into fantasy the past year has opened my eyes to new reading experiences and I have read a few of those books already. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to your next reading experience/review.
Thank you so much. All these kind words are so nice to read. 🙏🙏
Gefeliciteerd! In the stage you're currently in it could be beneficial to experiment with thumbnail designs to see what works best for your content. It's a big factor in getting clicks and pleasing 'the algorithm'.
Dankdank! I will look into thumbnail design (not familiar with it). Thanks for the advice.
Gefeliciteerd en bedankt voor alle inspiratie!!
🥳
Dank, Nora!
Woohoo! Congrats on one year! Keep it going
Thnx! You too 🙏🙏
Congratulations on your first year. I hope you are reading something good. I'm currently reading the Count of Monte Cristo. I maybe some time!
Thanks! I am reading The Lies of Locke Lamora at the moment, which is a very good book to get me out of my current reading slump...
Gefeliciteerd!! 📚🎉
Dankdank 🙏🙏
Congrats one one year! I emit so many "um"s I don't bother editing.
Thnx. If I do that (not edit the uhms out of an unprepared ramble, I cannot watch myself anymore 😂
Congratulations! I always look forward to your videos and one thing that I would like to hear from you or maybe for you to explain is how you rate your books? we know you use a 0-100 scale but what parameters do you use? what do you put more attention on? I think that would be very interesting to know!
Thanks! My rating system can hardly be called a 'system' really. I base my rating namely on gut-feeling. It is just that I can rate with more nuance, than with just 5 stars. So, no parameters but my own feeling.
