Top Ten Tuesday; Reasons Why I Love Being a Book Blogger

It's Tuesday again and time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of That Artsy Reader Girl. The theme of the week was reasons why I love X and I decided writing about why I love being a book blogger.


1) It gives me an outlet for my book passion
2) It gives me an excuse to read (not that I need an excuse of course)
3) The perk of recieving press copies from authors and publishers
4) The nice comments from authors when they've seen I've written a nice review of one of their books
5) Being part of the book blogger/bookish community, even if it has some flaws
6) Having a platform where I can raise awareness about diversity from time to time (and other issues related to books/literature)
7) Connecting with other book lovers
8) Discovering all the amazing books that's out there
9) Dabbling with Bookstagram
10) Getting inspiration, both in terms of books to read, but also book merch to buy, topics to talk about, etc.

    Bookstagram does seem pretty cool. I don't know much about getting into it, though. I barely have Instagram figured out. LOL.

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.

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...

Even though I'm technically having a hiatus for my book blogging at the moment, I still wanted to announce the 2025 Diversity Reading Challenge, just in case anyone wanted to participate in it and start planning their TBR pile. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible.
