It's a well known fact that the best part of book blogging is the people. Of course the books are important but holy cats, the people. The people have saved me in more ways than one. Some bloggers send treats/cards/books, Some bloggers talk me down when I'm overwrought and overthinking. Some bloggers have walked me through personal struggles. Some bloggers have stuck by me while I've been in a reading/blogging slump for the past number of months. In other words, these bloggers are more than peers, they are friends.

Here are my two favorite ways to stay connected to the community-



I also use a personal Facebook page and Goodreads, of course. My blog's Facebook page is chock-full of bookish news all day long.


Behind the scenes there is a never ending stream of Slack chats, emails, DMs, PMs, IMs (wait, it's not 1998, I guess IMs have gone the way of the dinosaurs.) You get the drift.

I can't post this without mentioning my great connection fail. I've been awful about commenting on your blogs. I apologize and hope to do better. Forgive me? I need a better system. I need better time management skills. Despite that...

...I do hope you'll come hang out with me!
