1. What's a fantastic book you read off the recommendation of another Booktuber? And oppositely, what's a book that you were talked out of reading because of a Booktuber's review?

2. Has Booktube opened your mind to or changed your mind about any genre(s)?

3. How much time did you spend on YouTube before Booktube and how much time do you spend on it now?

4. How many books did you read (per month/per year) before Booktube and how many do you read now?

5. Has Booktube affected your book buying habits and, if so, are you pleased or displeased by this?

6. Has a review by a Booktuber ever retroactively made you reconsider your stance on a book?

7. Are there any videos you've been inspired to make after seeing another Booktuber's video(s)? Have you ever felt inspired by another Booktuber's style (their video style, their book organization style, their personal style - anything!)?

8. What are some pressures you feel on your reading life because of your channel?

9. In what way, if any, do you feel the social element of the community has impacted your reading? Do you think about books differently since joining?
