Blogging Buddies!
This was the HARDEST list to put together, because there are so many wonderful bloggers in this community, who have embraced and supported me, and I am grateful for you all. I am going to start with this list, but I know there will need to be a part 2 (or 3) in the near future.
I just love Tanya to bits! We have our FL connection, and she tends to read a lot of books I want to read or have read. She is also really good at determining if I will like a certain book, and it's just nice to have someone out there, who knows me so well.
I have been following Shannon since before I was blogging. I always read her posts with a smile on my face, because she is extremely funny. I admire her unbridled passion for The 100, and her ability to communicate so much in such short reviews. I would also like to thank her for co-hosting the discussion challenge with Nicole, because it motivates me to write discussion posts.
Grace and I hail from the same state, and it's nice to know there is a blogger from my circle nearby. She reads across age ranges and genres, and therefore makes it easy for me to find or discuss lots of books, and I feel like we are on the same wavelength when it comes to a much of what we read as well.
I always want to thank AJ for bringing the funny. I look forward to her posts, because they never fail to make me laugh. I often feel like a slacker next to AJ, as it's obvious how much time and effort she put into some of her posts, and they are amazing.
Becky is one of my romance reader buddies. We can gush about romances together, and I actually get a little giddy just thinking about it. Becky is another person, who knows how to make me smile. She is very witty, and her stream of conscience posts never fail to delight me.
Madalyn has to be one of the most vibrate bloggers out there. Her enthusiasm just radiates from the page. Madalyn, tends to read a lot of contemporaries (I'm not the only one!), therefore, she has a lot of thoughts regarding books on my read and to be read shelves.
Wendy brings a different and great perspective on her blog. She is really passionate about her students and works hard to find books, to entice them to read more, and also reflect the diversity of her classroom community. I am always finding some new and interesting books via her blog.
Nicole is a really incredible blogger. She is another person I have been following since before my blogging days. Nicole is extremely involved in the community, and I am so impressed by everything she does in the blogosphere in addition to writing books and caring for her family.
Lauren has similar reading tastes to me, and she reads A LOT too. So, there is always something I want to check out on her blog. Her ability to balance school, life, and all those books is pretty incredible as well.
I have been following Nick for eons. Her love for romance is unparalleled. I admire her passion for romance books and also for books featuring and written by people of color. Additionally, she is really brilliant and well, stem girls rock!
Other book blogs I love:
- Musings of Literary Wanderer
- Carole's Random Life in Books
- The Bookish Libra
- Jenea's Book Obsession
- Aimee, Always
- Cornerfolds
- Pink Polka Dot Books
- POP.EDIT.LIT
- The Regal Critiques

Thank you so much for having included me in the list! I am honored to be part of such a fabulous group. And to be known for my love of romance!!! You are the best! <3
ReplyDeleteI love that someone like you is there to champion romance books. They get a bad rap, and it's unfair. And no, you're the best. *kiss, kiss*
DeleteThis is like a list of my favorite blogs! I think every one on here is a regular visit for me! So much good content. Tanya, Shannon, Becky- all of them, really. And I see a couple I left off my list by accident- darn it!
ReplyDeleteGreat list.
It's impossible to list all the fantastic blogs out there, but I know I will definitely be doing this again with other blogs I adore.
DeleteGreat list, adding to my ever-growing blog list! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI think I have almost 200 blogs on my Feedly, but I just have connected with so many awesome readers out there, and you know, I have to try to read all the books. XD
DeleteAw thank you for mentioning me ❤ I have to say I love all the blogs you mentioned. They would make my list as well.
ReplyDeleteI feel like we run in a lot of the same blogging circles, and it's nice to feel like the world is a little bit smaller via this connection
DeleteI found it so hard to do this topic! I narrowed things down to 20 but I'm discovering new blogs daily which makes that tough...
ReplyDeleteThere are just too many fabulous bloggers in the community!
DeleteHeh, I might never get through everyone's lists, but gah SO MUCH GOODNESS!! And thank you for including me!
ReplyDeleteI so admire the way you turn a phrase. I have no writing flair, and therefore, will simply bask in your greatness
DeleteI visit so many of the blogs you've mentioned on a regular basis. However I do see a few new ones to check out. I also love seeing what Artwork Greg features on some of his posts. I also love that he includes music suggestions as well.
ReplyDeleteGreg probably does the greatest variety of things on his blog every week. Between the music, the art, and the movies that suck, it's an impressive array of work.
DeleteI love Grace @Rebel Book Mommy, too! I need to read more of AJ's posts because you're right, she always makes me laugh! I always enjoy Jenea's posts too. I'll have to check out some of these other blogs as well. Great post, Sam! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that we are able to find so many people we can connect with in this community, and I am glad you know some of my favorites.
DeleteSo many bloggers that I love too!! Thanks for sharing. :)

DeleteA lot of the blogs on this list are my favorites! (Yours is my favorite, too.) This topic was too hard, so I did my own thing for the prompt.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
This topic was hard, and it made me want to do more appreciation posts.

I was really overwhelmed by how welcoming so many people have been. I feel lucky to have found all these awesome people in the community.
DeleteAww, Sam I just want to give you a big old hug for all your nice comments!🤗 I'm glad you enjoy my ramblings because I certainly enjoy writing them. I think this is one of my favourite TTT themes in a while and if I'd known it was coming up I would have done it too! I am totally writing a blogger love post after this. There are a couple of blogs on here I don't follow already and now I'm off to explore them all because if you like them I need them on my reading list!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up, and I have always had a soft spot for English humor (and English 80s music, really, it was the best, but I digress).
DeleteThere are so many wonderful bloggers out there. I never thought when I started blogging seven years ago that I would meet so many wonderful people, and honestly, the bloggers are what has kept me blogging.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree. I was afraid to join WLABB, but I found so many wonderful bloggers, who welcomed me with open arms.
