Video Book Lists?

Book lists are popular–readers love to share what they’re reading and what’s on their TBR list. Traditionally (insofar as there are traditions on the tubes) people have posted written lists on blogs or sites like Goodreads. Lately, though, I’ve noticed another trend: video booklists.

A video booklist is exactly what it sounds like–a list. But instead of including a lot of text, they tend to be book montages, often with a soundtrack that catches the vibe of the overall genre. The one posted below actually goes a little further–because it covers a lot of YA books not out yet, the poster, xxxdancegirlxxx, has included release dates. (She also has video lists for books she’s read.)

Making a list this way seems like a lot of work, but it’s definitely an appealing format. And it’s somewhat limiting–there are time constraints on videos, like connection speed and hosting, and making sure it’s short enough to be interesting but long enough to cover everything.

Would you make a video booklist? What would you include?
