2019 BooktubeSFF Awards Winners Announced

The 2019 BooktubeSFF Awards winners have been announced.

Booktube is the segment of YouTube dominated by booklovers who use the platform to discuss and share their love of reading. SFF stands for Science Fiction and Fantasy, and the BooktubeSFF community are those who focus on those genres. The BooktubeSFF community isn’t just limited to people who make videos, it’s everyone who watches, comments, and loves SFF!

Each year the community nominates its favourite works from the previous year in various categories. These are counted and turned into a shortlist. They then run readalongs and chat about the books before voting on the winners.
