In this episode of the Bookum Creators Talk Podcast, we sit down with Turnpageswithmimi to explore what it means to be a reader in New York and how book culture continues to evolve across libraries, social media, and community spaces.

We discuss growing up reading in Philadelphia and New York, the influence of the Brooklyn Public Library and The Book of HOV, and how fashion, identity, and culture shape modern reading experiences.

This conversation also explores how book content creators are building communities online and offline, hosting book clubs, and redefining what it means to engage with books in a digital age.

Topics include:

• reading culture in New York City
• libraries and literary spaces
• BookTok and book content creation
• building a book community
• hosting in-person book clubs
• avoiding burnout as a creator
• building a personal library

If you are interested in books, reading culture, book clubs, libraries, and literary community building, this episode is for you.
