You don’t even have to be neccessarily a fan of YouTube to like the publication, because there are multiple genres to choose from. Some of the youtubers chose to write about their lives, their path to fame, while others prefered to create a book full of fun!

We’ve chosen five books writted by YouTubers you should definitely read, if you haven’t already (well, you can always re-read it, there’s no shame in that). It was really hard to pick only five, but we’ve managed it and these are our favourites.
