Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. How it works is that each Tuesday the host assigns a topic and then posts their top ten list that fits the topic. Every blogger can create their own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well and link to the host’s. The topic for August 14th, 2018 is: Favourite Bookish Blogs/Websites.
If you’re reading this for the very first time or are a regular reader of my blog, I’m so very grateful to you! I’m finding so much happiness in blogging and connecting with readers all over the world thanks to your support. However, this post isn’t about me or what I’m up to. I’m writing this to thank all the friends who have stuck with me through my blogging journey and have influenced me to become the blogger and reader I am today. These lovely people have not only liked my posts, commented on them, shared them and endorsed my blog but also replied to my tweets and loved my Bookstagram pictures. They are so good at blogging that they inspire me to do better. They have listened to me rant and validated my feelings. I can’t possibly limit this list to a 10! Without further ado, let me introduce these amazing people on my blog today! I must mention that most of them fall under multiple categories and I’ve listed them in this way just for convenience.

This means so much to me, Justine! I honestly cannot fathom how you juggle work, blogging, YouTube, cats and also manage to have a social life! Also, your book reviews are my best source to decide whether or not I want to add some book to my TBR and your channel is my favourite on BookTube. 😊 I’m so very glad too! ❤❤❤

This is one of the best posts I’ve ever read, and I’m not exaggerating! Blogging is like living in a virtual space and sometimes we can’t figure out if someone is actually, genuinely, liking our work or not but when I receive notifications of such posts that I’m tagged in, I have my faith restored–in not just myself but in all my blogger friends. Thank you so much for this appreciation! ❤
