Hannah Hart's fans probably know her pretty well. After all, the YouTube star has uploaded 529 videos in the past five years. However, there have been some things she hasn't been ready to discuss with them—until now. With the release of her second book, Buffering, Hart is showing fans even more of her world. And that's scary. "When a book comes out, it's a little like your birthday," Hart said. "Everyone's going to be nice to you. But it's also like you just gave birth to a child, and you're afraid everyone's going to tell you it's ugly." Hart's first book, published in August 2014, was called simply My Drunk Kitchen after her YouTube show and channel. The premise of the channel is to see what kind of creations, and lessons, come out of her genius drunken brain. (Just don't ask her to bake; that's when it gets messy.) MDK, the book, gently introduced fans to what Hart's life was like, with reminiscences from her childhood. But the channel has for the most part stayed on the lighter side. You can watch Hart try to make ice cream using, like, two plastic bags. You can see her try (and fail) to make grilled cheese. Mostly, the videos are highly creative and joyous celebrations of food. It's rare for Hart to lift the veil, so to speak, and let fans see into her real life. Buffering tears the veil completely away. "This morning, kids in carrot onesies were lining up to get this book," she said, referencing an inside joke from her channel, "but they don't quite... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'

In the early summer of 1994, I walked into Alice’s Bookshop in North Carlton; a small shop in an old terrace on a straight boulevard that runs north out of Melbourne, Victoria. Being so close to the venerable sandstone of Melbourne University, there’s an old-fashioned gravity about the place.... Continue reading at Literrary Hub
