Let's Talk Bookish; Bookish Memes And Games - Fun Filler Or Worthless Waste Of Time?

It's Friday and I figured out it was time for a new Let's Talk Bookish post, hosted by Eternity Books and Literary Lion. The theme of the week was bookish memes and games - fun filler or worthless waste of time?


There's various weekly memes I participate in, such as Let's Talk Bookish (obviously, duh), Top Ten Tuesday, Mailbox Monday, Book Blogger Hop and a couple of others, but that doesn't mean I do every meme every week. I only do the memes if there is a topic/theme I want to write about, otherwise I feel it would be a bit pointless doing them.

I enjoy doing some bookish memes from time to time, as it enables me to discuss and talk about books and bookish stuff in a different manner than "just" writing book reviews. Not that it's anything wrong with writing book reviews, but I like to have a bit of variation, so I don't get too bored and I also suspect that not all readers want to read 14 book reviews in a row, if you know what I mean.

Funnily enough, I sometimes feel I get more interaction on memes than I do on my book reviews, even if it's not like I get *that* many comments all the time, but at least it makes writing these types of posts a bit fun.

    I seem to do the challenges and link up thing a whole ton more than write reviews. Honestly, I'm not good at writing reviews, but I love to read. I'm just having fun with my blog!

      Challenes and link up things are so much fun, so I don't blame you really. There's a reason why I do them after all. :-)

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w
