Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; Things I Collect


It's Wednesday again and time for a new Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge post, courtesy of Long and Short Reviews. The theme of the week was things I collect.

The main thing I actively collect is obviously books, an added bonus if they're signed. I also collect various book-related stuff, such as bookmarks, totebags with book-related typography, bookish candles, notebooks, Funk Pops etc. All things books really. I guess it's no shocker there, really.

As a side-note, I do collect non-bookish items such as CD's, LP's, band t-shirts, art, and random goth-inspired stuff. Yes, I'm the person who actually has black wine glasses.

    I have several autographed books that I treasure.. most of them are from writers I've personally met. That makes them more special to me. My post is http://jhthomas.blogspot.com/2020/07/wednesday-weekly-blogging-challenge_15.html if you want to stop by.

      Both are so much fun. :-) Although I've got only a very small Funko Pop collection so far.

    Yes! I forgot to include the autographed books I have in my post. I have a few of those that I keep in a special place (mostly so my kids don't get to them!). I want to keep them nice!

      I don't blame you for wanting to keep them nice. I take care of my "babies" too.

    Okay, see, I had no idea that black wine glasses even existed and now I need them.

    This is the problem with collecting things.

    My list is here.

    I have a very small collection of signed books and they're my pride and joy! I love that you have black wine glasses! Years ago, I found a set of champagne flutes at the Disney Store that were honey colored and had Winnie the Pooh on them. We used them for our toast at our wedding. :)

    My post.

      I might post a photo of them, as it seems like people were intrigued by them.

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...
