This video is literally just gonna be me simping over Noelle and Elias. Oh well, um,
Hi friends, my name is Joel and welcome back to my booktube channel
if you've yet to check out my bookshelf organization video, I suggest you go watch that because
One: i'm really proud of how I organized it and that it took me like two three hours to do it
but also at the same time I
Like I mentioned i'm a hoe for organization and if you are too
You'll definitely like that video. And if you've yet to check out my twitter or my bookstagram
You should definitely go check that out as well
Because I post some extra bookish content that you won't see here.
For today's video I have a big announcement
Hence why i'm posting on a sunday, and it's one that I have been
Really excited about for the longest time and if you already follow me on twitter or bookstagram, you'll already know what the announcement is
but I
Am starting a book club
It feels weird to say it out loud but like now that i've said it
Wow, but I am not starting this book club alone. I'm starting it with two iconic, amazing
Legendary, innovative, original, amazing, 10 out of 10
Give them all the awards two amazing booktubers
I am starting it with Elias and Noelle Gallagher and both of them are just so amazing
And so wonderful and i'm just super excited to be starting this book club
A lot of you on instagram had a few questions, so I will be delving into some of them right now
But before then our september pick for our book club our very first month
is
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reed
I hope all of you will get yourselves a copy or if you already have a copy and read it
I
Hope you will join us in rereading or reading this book and then tune in at the end of september for our live show
which I believe will be hosted on Noelle's channel and i'll have
Noelle and Elias's links in the description so that you don't miss out although you're probably already subscribed to them. So
Just come join us. And I think it'll be a lot of fun. I
might already have a bookish outfit planned for The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and you might
See me wearing it during the live show
Who knows basically our motto for the book club is that we will read when the world's asleep
Because we all pretty much stay up late into the night reading books. Literally yesterday, I stayed up until 3 a.m
To finish The Space between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson
And I will go more in depth into my review in my wrap-up video at the end of the month
But go pick it up. Go and pick it up. It is amazing. It is wonderful. Wow! Sapphic, black,
interdimensional
A lot of the questions were about how we came up with the book club name
and how it
Started and so settle down we are about to go into a bit of a story time it was morning for me
But it was like really late at night for elias. I think he was up at like 4 00 a.m
He usually is so um
He was up and I think I literally had just woken up. I was literally like why the hell are you awake?
And he was just like well, I can't get to sleep, you know
Plus this book's really interesting and then off the cuff. He was like, haha
welcome to the late night book club and I was like, oh my gosh, that's such a good idea and he goes oh,
Maybe one day but then but then Noelle and Elias obviously went uh bookstore shopping together bookstore shopping
They didn't go buy a bookstore
They went book shopping together and Noelle had bought The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
and elias had also said he hadn't read it, but I didn't know this at this point so I watch um,
Noelle's reading rush vlog where she talks about The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and basically I immediately go into Noelle's dms
And i'm just like hi
I know you haven't read it
I haven't read it either and i've literally just someone literally just gifted it to me
Do you want to buddy read it and noelle was like, oh my gosh elias literally said the exact same thing
How about we just all buddy read it together and I was like, that would be amazing
and then Noelle was like and maybe a live show and I was like
Noelle
Wants to do a live show
with me
So at this point the book club wasn't even a thing
We were just gonna do a one-off
live show for the seven husbands of evelyn hugo and then I literally popped up to elias and I was literally just like, um,
So this is what noelle has said
and i'm like
So late night book club?
and he was like
Yes
Yes, yes, and so he made the group chat
And the rest is history. We got to planning
We're all very excited to be going on this new adventure together for a bit of background on how I like first
Interacted with each of them. I
really don't know where elias and I first like
Had like our first proper interaction because I know we've been following each other on twitter and instagram for a bit
But I think we first like got to talking just before the reading rush started. So I think that was quite cool
Noelle's videos popped up in my recommended and so I started watching her and I fell in love with her content
And then I think I added her on goodreads. First of all, like it's really weird
Like the first thing I add her on is goodreads
But I first added her on goodreads and then I think once elias shouted us both out on his instagram
She followed me on instagram and then I followed her back and then we've just been like complimenting more ever since like
She will compliment me. I will compliment her. We'll both cry over each other's compliments
and now
We're in a really nice little close friendship and it's amazing and I love them both
so much. And i'm just super like happy and
super lucky really to have them both as friends and
It's just they're both really real. Um
Down-to-earth human beings and it's really nice to have that kind of connection with people
some people are asking how we choose our books or if they're like
specific to a genre or an age group, for example
The Literally Dead Book Club mostly delves into thriller horror kind of thing speaking of the literally dead book club with BooksAndLala
The late night book club will be co-hosting the october
Book club pick which is one by one by ruth ware and the live show will be in early November
I have never read a ruth ware book
I've never read an adult thriller book and so i'm really excited to be giving a newbie perspective
Into ruth ware and into adult thriller, and I think it'll be really nice for all of you
Who have been really scared to try thrillers? Like I have to delve into it in the first for the first time and
I am planning to do a thriller / horror reading vlog in october in the theme of halloween
and so I definitely think one by one will be the first pick on that list along with I
Definitely want to do a stephen king
because noelle has
Inspired me to pick up a stephen king book
But I definitely want to pick up a used copy
Since i'll be back at uni at that point i'm going to go to my university cities secondhand bookstore because winchester has an amazing
secondhand bookstore there
So I definitely want to try and find a king novel in there
And maybe try and pick one up for no while as well
that she might not have like a british one like wouldn't that be so cool. Um, but yes, uh, I digress so the setup
We basically are just gonna be very casual very laid back. We aren't really gonna have a specific genre
I think we're gonna be open to reading both YA and adult. I think it'll mostly be adult books for the time being we're gonna
Basically, just read whatever comes up to mind
Sometimes we may have audience participation where you guys get to pick the book pick for the month
um
But we'll let you know when that'll be and also we may sometimes uh go in with the theme of like the month for example
Maybe christmas could be like a christmasy type of story
February could be a romance and we realized yesterday that elias noelle and I are all born in february
So this is a february run book club
And so our february live show is gonna be one massive party and like it's gonna be amazing
I probably will wear a party hat. We were also asked why you're so awesome
And how do you expect us to deal with the amount of iconic energy you three have?
honestly, I can't even deal with the amount of iconic energy that elias and noelle have
So with the amount of iconic energy I have added on top of that
I think you should start your funeral plans now and then
it's one of those things where it's like, I think it was always meant to happen like
the three of us running a book club, but like we didn't know it until it actually happened and so now
It's just amazing. And I think that this book club is just going to thrive super
well
we had a funny question that says who's most likely to pick a bad book just to make the others read it and
See, I I would say none of us
But i'm thinking we all would i'm like I can see it now like i'm thinking we all would force each other to read
A bad book, I think noelle would feel really bad
Noelle would feel really bad
Ellias would say he's probably being really extra by asking us to read it
But he just wants to see our reactions
And maybe our suffering and I think I would just want to do it just to see the chaos that would ensue
Like I made my best friend read cape may I think I could probably make noelle and ellias read a bad book
I won't make them read cape may though. I I will never ever force cape may on to anyone ever again
I'm, sorry tia I I don't know. I think we all would but I think we'd all feel sincerely apologetic
Afterwards, so would we ever do it?
Who knows a lot of people were asking how late do you have to be to be a night reader?
and I just think as long as it's nighttime like but
Anyone can join if you don't even read into the night, it's fine
You can still join you can still be one of our night walkers and join us lovely night owls for our live show
Oh someone asked
What was my first impressions of noelle and ellias?
I think my first impression of noelle was that she was just really laid back
There was just something about noelle's videos that feel like i'm just talking with a friend. It just feels so natural and just so
It's like chefs. It's like a chef's kiss
It's just amazing and I love her energy and her vibe. It's just
iconic and then for ellias
I'm just in love with
Everything he does. It's
Amazing. His camera work is just
Iconic his design skills are amazing
and I
I just wish he would stop doubting himself a lot, but
Like I just want to tell him that he's amazing and that he shouldn't need to worry, but also at the same time I get
The doubt and the worry all the time
So like I just want to wrap him up in like a little ball and just tell him things will be okay
Do you already have an idea of future books of the month?
And we do we do have some ideas for books that we will be reading in the month of october
um, we haven't really discussed november or december yet, but
