Name this bookish video series!

August 8, 2020 3:10 PM

I’m helping to spearhead a regular social media video series at my library where staff members will take turns videotaping short book talks (3-4 min tops) promoting a single fiction or nonfiction title of their choice. The audience will be adult patrons. We need a catchy name for the series! Any ideas? Book Buzz is already taken, but I like the alliteration and crispness of that name. (I know this isn’t as much fun as naming new pets, but ...)

Worth Reading.

Or, perhaps:

Canon Fodder.

To build on argonauta’s answer: lit whits!

(Thank you argonauta as I had been trying to come up with one using lit. Could only think of lit clips which I wasn’t sure about)

I started looking at the rhyme dictionary and came up with two silly phrases that are, alas, not snappy enough to be the series title. Maybe as promo phrases for social media?

Stay-at-Home Tome
An Author Worth Your Bother (not really a rhyme I know)
