Sis!!! You’ve impacted me personally and helped me read especially with audiobooks! We love you! The great thing about what you’ve done is that it’ll be here forever!! We can’t wait to see you in the new season! ❤❤❤

What else would it be, genius?

Really meaningful discussion points you've raised, especially the "justifying our effort" part. Nobody wants to funnel their time into nothing, and it's hard to judge those who lean into negativity to get results, but when does it stop being the thing you originally set out to do and is that worth it? Those should be in a YT101 info vid everyone has to watch when they hit a certain level of views 😅

I've got 8 years experience in working at a school library. Considering getting a degree not sure where to start...do you need AA then bachlors then masters or can you just do either one? Thanks.

I know this video is old, but i do appreciate the discussion 😉 My personal opinion on this subject is that if you are only interested in one or two genres and you exclusively follow booktubers that read these genres, then yes, there will definitely be some repeats. It is interesting though sometimes to see different opinions on a book from multiple people.

You look just like your mom. Going to a food festival is on my bucket list.

Hold people accountable for their non-fiction actions. Their physical actions, the opinions they give in speeches, posts, interviews. Otherwise, give their fiction a bad review and leave it at that.

YES Recitatif is so good!!!

Sister Sage?

I really enjoyed this. You do great reading 200 books and more!

Read this book twice in my mid 20's and planning on reading it again.

Faith Ringold. Mary Hoffman's Grace series. Nikki Grimes-Stepping out with Grandma Mac, children's poetry. I think I remember a Langston Hughes book of collected poetry for young folk.

Oh. I only just found this channel. I’ll be watching all the older vids & will go over to the realm of comics channel. Best. 🤍

I’m finding my space as a black author and publisher on both Tiktok and Youribr. I’ve seen quickly that we are fighting the algorithm! At this point both platforms can catch me outside. ALSO! This is why investing in marketing coaching is important. They have the keys. We can learn the keys and use them. But yes it costs. 😩😩

I love this discussion! It’s always difficult finding space in a world that doesn’t wish to see you. As a faithful believer, my ABBA is I’ll prepare the table I’m going to sit at and bring others to sit with me. For sure. I think variety is the spice of life. Having both longer and shorter content gives people the chance to know,like and trust you. Just my 2 cents on what I’ve seen so far.

If you haven't caught on by now Communists and many resentful people of color like this poster and many commenters want to erase all white history and beloved western classics........it's just that simple folks..... White people are allowed their own culture/history/myths etc.... Sorry to break it to you but we don't need blacks or brown people to create wonderful glorious culture ...... Books about intersectionality and racism are being pushed constantly and stories can't exist to these people without grievance 24/7.......

How did you like She Who Became the Sun?

I really love going to the library every since I was like 3 years old. What I really appreciate is that it saves me a lot of money and I dare to pick up and read books I would never read otherwise! I go to my library almost every week, sometimes to only sit there and read. I'm chronically ill and because of that I can't work, so the library gets me out of my house which is lovely

thank you

for the chapters, for the birchbark house you accidentally put "little house on the prairie"

Thank you for all you’ve given us over the years!

❤🧡💛💚💙💜

I've enjoyed your content consistently through the years <3 This is a new channel, but my original personal channel has been subbed for years. It hurt my heart to watch this video because I went through the same thing recently and I just cut out all the stuff that made me unhappy and focused on what does make me happy. It was so hard at first, but it was so worth it and I'm in a much better place for it! As sad as this video is, it's so obvious to see how much this is needed for you and I think you'll be so much happier <3

Truly an end if an era. I've always appreciated your content, and ive learned a lot about the library system and children's fiction from you. Thank you for all you've given to this space. And hope to see around the community in other ways. Much love to you and baby girl.

So sorry to see you go and you'll be missed though I'm so glad that you're doing what's right for you and your child. I've really enjoyed your videos and I wish you all the best in what brings you joy.

Much love Ashley! We will all be here if/when you return! ❤

Just finished "Be Real, Macy Weaver" and everything you said was spot on. But did the author ever mentioned why all the last names started with "W". Weaver, Walker, Wu... What was up with that? LMAO

Ashley, I will miss your channel, and consider you a quality booktuber. You were one of the reasons I took the plunge and decided to get my MLIS. Loved library school and love being a librarian. I think that quality booktube is dying. I have completely lost interest in the young-girl booktuber that is just a bait-and-switch for lifestyle blogs. I am much more judicious in my viewing and limit myself to older, more Britsh booktubers.

Goddamn! I'm going to miss you. I discovered some good ya and middle grade from your channel.

Welps you just helped save me like 10 hours from reading The Last Mrs Parrish lol.

❤❤❤ RealmofComics is a safe space for me too! See you over there😊.

Its 5 days later isn't that long enough???? I just knew it wasn't gonna come omg my heart. I'm sooo happy I got to share some of the most beautiful memories through books. Sending all the love your way darling!

I'm so sorry I'm seeing this late, you know me smh. But girl, I love you. I'm so proud of you. I've watched you grow this channel all these years, holding your head high above the politics and drama. Such a classy, intelligent woman. You were my fave from Day One, love. Someone sharing your heart and your knowledge with us all, the eternal giver. I've always wondered where you find the time, and meanwhile your incredible self was trying to find more time for us! Such a beautiful soul you are. People should look to this channel and aspire to be what you are. I mean it. You know I do & now you can pass the baton. Thank you for sharing so much of you with us. Thank you for including me in this family all those years ago, being a friend without comparison, and teaching me more than you could ever imagine. Enjoy life you beautiful woman, you deserve the world. Always here for you! Your next chapter begins now...turning the page.

Gonna miss seeing you on here, Ash!! Bye for now! 💜💜

It took me a few days to work up the courage to watch this cause im so sad! As a fellow librarian your work here has meant so much to me both professionally and personally. Im so happy you are doing whats best for you and your family tho ❤️ id love to see you go write reviews for our ride or die Kirkus or something equally fun! Goodbye for now and THANK YOU💕💕💕

Thank you for focusing on you <3 Love seeing your videos on my feed and will still be following on your other channel but glad you're taking the time you need!

Thank you so much for sharing your time with us for this long. Wishing you the best in your next endeavors!

Wishing you all the joy in your life. You deserve it! 💕

Thanks for everything Ashley ❤

I sporadically get on UA-cam but when I have, I’ve always enjoyed watching your videos. If this channel is no longer serving you creatively or bringing joy and only causes stress, it’s time this chapter closes so another one can start. I’m happy for you 💜

Love you and hope your life is filled with all the peace you deserve! Your content has been very much appreciated! ❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for your content, it was not the usual fare and it was educational. Good luck on all your future opportunities!

Ashley, you were a huge inspiration for me to come back to Booktube, and you continue to be an inspiration for others. Thank you so much for your content and your impact on the Booktube community. You always have to put yourself first, and I'm glad you are. Take care always, wishing you peace and happiness ❤

Faebound was a 5 star read for me!

People underestimate how much time editing takes the back end etc it’s a lot to juggle like you so eloquently explained and you have a family it’s a lot… 9-5 job as well. I hope you find time to prioritize your happiness more now and looking after yourself as well. I hear you about leaving while it’s still enjoyable and you have some love for it. 10 years is a long time… and you’ve definitely left an impact for sure I hear you mentioned on other ppls channels I’ve been slowly checking out more and more channels by black woman and you’re highly recommended. And I can see why ❤

Always with the best book taste!! ☺️

I'll really miss seeing you on my homepage! All the best for whatever you do next 💜

I'll miss you so much. You built such an amazing space for us.For readers. It's so fun hearing your thoughts. Burnout happens & it isn't sustainable. As a hobby it's fun. But if the joy isn't there then it's certainly time to go. Your mental health above all else. You've made an impact.
