The name of this community of video creators is BookTube and the people who create these videos call themselves BookTubers. I stumbled upon this community thanks to a Google search for information about a book. Think of BookTube as a giant book club where you can hang out and hear about the books others have read, engage in conversations about the books and make your own suggestions by using the comment section for a video.
