Yes, we’re terribly late in letting you know about this, so we figured that we’d catch you up real quick and, from this day forward, we’ll be posting each of our YouTube videos here so that you don’t miss anything! Our BookTube is a weekly show that will include book reviews, updates, conversations, and whatever else we feel like putting on it! Three shows that we definitely have are: A main episode that will generally include a couple of reviews from different hosts; a mid-month episode we’re calling “Escape from Speculative Fiction Mountain” which is us letting you know what we’ve been reading, what we’re planning on reading, upcoming releases, and the like; Jen will be hosting “Loopdilou’s Retro Reviews” where she’ll be reviewing older fiction that she probably has never, ever read before; and then, gods willing, Shaun will be hosting something sexy and classy at the end of each month. Shout out to our former intern and now BookTube producer – Trang Ngo! She’s the best! For now, commence the viewing! And don’t forget to click the subscribe button so you don’t miss our adorable faces!!

It’s hard to pinpoint when my love affair with the prose and poetry of that chilly little speck of a country, who only last year managed to send a squad to compete in the Men’s World Cup, that was founded by a legendarily unruly band of malcontents who didn’t want to bend the knee to Harold Fairhair, that famously still has a population so small and inbred that there’s a dating app to evaluate if you’re too closely related to that hottie to have the warm drawers you do: Iceland. But my infatuation with that volcanic island very possibly started in elementary school, when I came across a copy of Inri and Edgar D’aulaire’s Norse Gods and Giants in my school library.
