Literarily Smitten

Literarily Smitten is a Booktube channel where one bookish history nerd gushes about the books she's recently read. Started in July 2020, the booktube channel focuses on historical fiction, nonfiction, and classics (with a smattering of romance for good measure). The Literarily Smitten storefront is where curated lists of books discussed on the channel can be found.

 

Videos are uploaded every Sunday and Thursday.
