Hey friends!
Who here remembers my Weekly Favorites blog posts and videos? I’m bringing them back!
Starting right now, Weekly Favorites will be available for all paid tiers on Patreon (starting at $1/month)!
I’m really excited about this— it’s a way that I can talk about all of the media I love, books and beyond. It can be a bit more candid than a full video, and spark conversation about different media formats and storytelling styles. If you’re interested, Weekly Favorites #28 is available for all paid Patrons *as we speak!* go check it out :)

Here it is, friends!
The last full-length video of 2023. This year has been a heck of a ride, and I am so glad you all decided to join me on this journey. Here's to another year of life-changing reads, fun videos, and Sanderlanches. See you in 2024 :)
Love,
Sam

Hey friends!
Tried something new this weekend— I made a spoiler review of Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee. Would love to hear your thoughts on the book and this video format. I’m thinking in future reviews I’ll do a spoiler-free section at the beginning, and make the rest spoiler-filled. What do you think?
Best,

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
I’m very thankful for all of you, and the opportunity you provide me with— making videos and sharing my passions is a real privilege and I could not be more grateful that you’re here :)
Today’s also a great day to reflect on the history of US colonialism, and the suffering Indigenous nations have faced at the hands of our settler state (historically and presently). This is something I’m always striving to educate myself on more, and I would love to hear about any resources you know of. I personally like this interactive map that shows which Indigenous nations’ land our homes and communities displace and attempt to erase. native-land.ca/ whose land do you live on?
I’m grateful to be safe, healthy, and surrounded by family today. I hope you and yours are doing well too :)
Best,
Sam Cote

Whats up! I just made a new video with 7 short book recs that I think you need to check out. These are all fantastic reads in their own right, and will help you reach your reading goal by the end of the year. Let me know which you've read before!

Ohhhhh man, this is getting me hyped!! I've been pretty skeptical about this ever since it was announced, but this has brought back a lot of my hope. How are you feeling about it?

Just found out that Spotify Premium now includes 15 hours of audiobooks per month 🤯 this is a game changer, and might be what motivates me to cancel Audible.

Been a while since I discussed writing on the channel— here’s how I’m approaching the next month of writing, using my distance running strategies to improve my writing habits. Would love to hear what you think :)

Hey friends!
I've just launched my second channel @samdcotelife with a brand new shoe review! If you're subscribed to this channel for the shoe reviews and lifestyle content I used to make, all the new stuff in those categories will be over on @samdcotelife. Book videos and journaling content will stay here!

Hey friends!
I've been locked in an epic battle with the YouTube algorithm to get my videos recommended as book content.
If you didn't know, this channel started with a completely different focus (you can still find the old videos if you'd like) and I only switched to book content in the past year and a half. That means that a lot of my subscribers are subbed for the old content, and have very little interest in the book videos. I'm working on privating the old stuff, but that process is like surgery-- I can't make too many incisions or the channel might bleed out.
Here's where I need your help: If you could like and share my book videos when they're recommended to you, it'll give me an invaluable edge as I contend with with the goliath that is The Algorithm. I've been winning small battles in the shorts feed, but I'll need your help to win the war.
Godspeed,
Sam
