Ten BookTube Terms Defined with a Link to My YouTube Channel

 

I don't know how many times a term is used on Booktube, and I have no idea what they are talking about.  This happens so often that I decided to look up ten terms commonly used on book review videos to better understand Booktube jargon.  Let's get started.

Wrap-Up-A video that shares all the books read over a period of time.

TBR-A list of the book that the booktuber plans to read.  TBR="To Be Read."

Book Haul-A video that is made for sharing the books a Youtuber just received.

Book Tag-A game where a booktuber creates a list of book-related questions.  They tag other members to answer the questions as well. 

ARC-This means an Advanced Reader Copy.  This is a book or digital copy sent to a reviewer by the publisher for the reader to review before the publication date.

DNF- This means that the reader "did not finish" the book.  

RTC-"Review to Come"

Reading Slump-Slower reading then usual as if they have lost their inspiration to read.

Shout Out- This is where a booktuber recommends another booktubers channel.

Readathon- This is an event where participants read together over a defined period of time.

I hope knowing a few booktube terms will help you have a better experience while watching book-related videos.  If you have any terms you have come across and did not understand, put it in the comment box, and I will try to find out the meaning.

Happy Reading and Booktube watching!
