Amazing Booklrs Tag :-)

Queenie, the absolutely wonderful person behind @shadowtearling created this great tag spreading some booklr love and, I’m so honored to say this, mentioned me in one of her categories. Thank you! I was also tagged by @lilymaidofgallifrey and @logarithmicpanda, thank you two, too! You’re lovely people with delightful blogs!! 

I’m copying the “rules” from their post:  It’s a Booklr shoutouts tag to tell the world of lovely people you follow! Let’s gush about wonderful people and give each other some love. Rules are simply to answer the questions as truthfully as you can :)   [I tried choosing one person for each prompt, I really did. But it just wasn’t meant to be]

1. Who is your first follow/mutual?

my real-life friends @floatingcandyfloss and @lloydoholic, love you! <3 

2. Name a booklr you think is smart. 

So many people in our community are incredibly smart. I think one of my favorites is @dukeofbookingham - The Duke manages to mix advice, humor, and academic insights all into one blog 

3. Who would you want to have a lunch date with?

@flamingmirrorbookish because she has been such a great supporter for such a long time, she helped me with my thesis so I owe her lunch at least, and I think it’d be really lovely to just hang out and gush about books :) 

4. Name a booklr you think is sweet.

@the-bibliophiles-bookshelf, @stargirl-carraway, @books-and-cookies, @tilly-and-her-books, SO MANY SWEET PEOPLE in our community! 

5. Who would you want to have as your best friend (or is already your booklr best friend)? 

I’d love to have @bibliophilecats as my best friend because then I could come visit her kitties! (and do lots of other cool stuff together too, of course) :)

6. Name an underrated booklr.

@i-breathe-therefore-i-read has a wonderful blog and is really nice! same goes for @lilymaidofgallifrey and @rat-librarian, as well as @manuscripts-dontburn!! 

7. Who has the same (or similar enough) taste as you in books?

This one is tricky. I share an interest in certain books with lots of people, but I’m not sure I share an interest in lots of books with the same person? Or I may not be aware of it.  Maybe @alwaysbringabookwithyou ? And even if not, Grace is awesome and everybody who does not already follow her should check out her blog, I think :) 

8. Who writes the best reviews?

@howlsmovinglibrary, @whilereadingandwalking, @shadowtearling all write wonderful reviews, and I also have to mention @bookcub who recently started compilation posts wherein she compares different books of a certain genre (those are awesome!)

9. Who has the best bookish pics? 

I love pictures by @theardentbiblio, @macrolit, @the-book-ferret, @clockworkbibliophile are all wonderful photographers that come to mind 

10. Who do you want to do a buddy read with (that you haven’t yet)? 

I’d love to do a buddy read with @bookcub, @logarithmicpanda, @the-forest-library, @anassarhenisch, or @baldursgatekeeper ! (not necessarily all at once, though :D )

11. Who keeps the Booklr spirit alive? 

Well, first of all, I feel inclined to say everyone who interacts with me, of course. But also @slytherin-bookworm-guy with his questions. They bring so much interesting stuff to my dash! Oh, and also @kraken-spines who organized an awesome short story project last summer! 

12. Name a booklr who you think is doing the lord’s work (however you want to interpret that lol). 

@booksforthoughts, @alwaysbringabookwithyou, @just0nemorepage, @thereadingchallengechallenge, @happybibliosaurus and all the booklrs who provided and provide me with book photography challenge prompts! :D Thank you, lovelies! 

13. Name a booklr you think is creative. 

@immzies-adventures-through-books, for sure! 

14. Name someone who got you into a book/series.

@anassarhenisch is superb at giving recommendations and has gotten me into quite a few books already. 

15. Name a booklr you think is funny.

@reading-goblin. @lost-in-a-story, @books-are-portals, and @flamingmirrorbookish are the first ones that come to mind :)

you're already making me long for autumn olivia 😔 as if i don't do that to myself. :D i really cannot wait for this heat to be over and done with, i'm so not a summer gal. how's the weather where you are? and how are you? :) hope everything is okay and that you're having an iced coffee and reading a great book 🥰 (btw, do you have a goodreads account? always wanted to ask but never did)

ugh me too!! I want autumn to be here already — I miss pumpkins and pumpkin spice and cooler weather and sweaters and hot chocolate and Halloween and aLL OF IT 😭 the weather here is SO hot it’s been in the 90s 😭 I’m super tired but doing okay! I wish I was having an iced coffee and reading — hopefully I can get to that today 😁

I do have a goodreads! my username is the same it is on here — clockworkbibliophile

this message was so sweet, thank you so much ❤️

[relevy]

Praise to the lovely @shadowtearling​ for starting this tag game!

It’s a Booklr shoutouts tag to tell the world of lovely people you follow! Let’s gush about wonderful people and give each other some love. Rules are simply to answer the questions as truthfully as you can :)

My Amazing Booklrs:

Who is your first follow/mutual? @lilymaidofgallifrey was for sure one of the firsts. I even went back into my archive to my “Hey, I’m new to booklr!” post to see who liked it and she was one of them :) Follow forever basically, she’s always active and engaging with the community!

Name a booklr you think is smart. @softlamora always has very succinct and poignant ways of expressing themself. I hold their opinions in high regard. I have no idea why they followed me but I appreciate it! (Especially because it took me forever to follow back? What?)

Who would you want to have a lunch date with? @catscoffeecommas and I have very similar tastes and we both toe the line when it comes to being strictly “booklr”-s so I feel like we would have a lovely time. Also we’re geographically near each other so convenience, eh?

Name a booklr you think is sweet. @freckles-and-books is always liking my personal posts in a show of solidarity and is just generally always a really genuine gal! She also has great taste in books and the photography (both hers and others!) she posts/reblogs!

Who would you want to have as your best friend (or is already your booklr best friend)? @literatureandtrees was the first booklr to reblog my original content and when I started interacting with her more personally I realized what a bomb-ass-babe she is. She’s always supported me through comments whenever I post about my life so she’s definitely my booklr best friend, I hope she feels the same way :’)

Name an underrated booklr. @baldursgatekeeper is an active, responsive blogger with varied, but always lovely, content. He was also one of my first booklrs I followed and who followed me! :)

Who has the same (or similar enough) taste as you in books? @the-knights-who-say-book and I gravitate toward the same types of books if her reviews are to be believed! She’s also just like pinnacle booklr content in general. If you’re not following her--just do it man.

Who writes the best reviews? @heretherebebooks reviews sound like I ghost wrote them so I’m going to have to go with the person I always agree with, right? Plus they’re the perfect length and combo of summary/commentary. 

Who has the best bookish pics? @clockworkbibliophile is a sweet girl with a stunning eye for that bookish aesthetic. She and I “met” when she was bookstagram-repping for my old job, a certain bookish candle company that shall remain nameless...

Who do you want to do a buddy read with (that you haven’t yet)? @howlsmovinglibrary would be a blast to do a buddy read with I think. We have similar taste in books and OTP’s (heheh) 8)

Who keeps the Booklr spirit alive? @macrolit you’ve seen his giveaways if you’ve been on booklr for more than a day. The dedication, time, and money, just what a dude. Plus he’s a total sweat heart :)

Name a booklr who you think is doing the lord’s work (however you want to interpret that lol). @blackgirlslit is pulling no punches when it comes to promoting books, booklr, and just #blackexcellence in general. 

Name a booklr you think is creative. @booksandfirelight original content is always on point. Whether it’s reviews or photography!

Name someone who got you into a book/series. @bookphile piqued my interest in the Shades of Magic books with her gorgeous photography and enthusiasm for them!

Name a booklr you think is funny. @shadowtearling shares my grim, brooding, yet somehow perky sense of humor and that’s a rare find for me. She’s also constantly pulling shit like this to make sure none of us fall into apathetic complacency in the Booklr world!
