This post has been a long time a-coming.
I’ve been meaning to start a series on here to highlight blogs I love on my long and growing list, so here she finally is, folks. Hopefully this will be a monthly feature because I’m pretty 💩 about doing tags and need another way to appreciate you all.
Here is an incomplete list of book blogs that never fail to entertain me, make me think, or bring a smile to my face. Some I’ve been following for years, others I found recently, and while I mercilessly comment on a handful of them 🥰, I remain a timid, silent follower of the rest lol 🙈:

Thanks for reading! Do you follow any of these awesome people already? Who are some of your favorite book bloggers? (I’m always avoiding the books by looking at the blogs 😅.) Let me know 🙂!
Also, I wanted to send everyone my regards. I hope you’re all safe and as well as you can be 💛.

Ohmygosh, Belle – I”m crying!!! 😭😭😭 Your praise for my little blog has honestly made like, my entire freaking life. I was so excited that I honestly called my parents up to tell them like the complete and utter dork that I am. #noshame.
I was so lucky the day that you stumbled onto Reading by Starlight and left me a comment. Not only did it lead me to discover Belle Can Read and Bellecanread Youtube edition [FYI you’re video “Why I Love Science Fiction” is my favorite – I laughed so dang hard at the memes! “Why? Why? WHY?” 😂😂😂] but I also found a new bookish bestie in YOU! Your comments always make my day and I love gushing over all things books with you. Your blog is such a positive, friendly environment and I love stalking your discussions and reviews.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for the shout out – you are actually the sweetest. I am so humbled and honored to have been featured!
Love, Alexandra xox

It’s actually not an exaggeration when I say my parents are the best. I’m very lucky to be very close with my mum and step-dad so they already know like, EVERYTHING about my blog friends [or the weirdo from the states as you put it! LOL 😉 ].
I really admire your “work in progress” – it’s a huge deal to make videos for the whole world to see. Then there’s me, hiding behind my writing! Fun fact: before I started my blog I considered a booktube account instead. I even filmed a very CRINGE INDUCING video on my shaky camera then died at the sheer cringe of it all. It’s safe to say that I destroyed all evidence/traces of said video and created the blog instead. I admire that you have the courage [and technical skills} to pull it off! ❤
And once again, thank you because you know what – I've just had an influx of subscribers! YOU ARE THE BEST! Sending you a BIG social distance approved hug! 💖💖💖
