Bookish People I Love, Part Two

I made this post about four of my favourite bookish people the other week, and I mentioned that I'd be doing another part because I have a long list of favourites. And here we are, PART TWO! Let's go.

Firstly, the whole reason I needed a part two. The incredibly lovely and hilarious, VAL of The Innocent Smiley. (Not so sure about the 'innocent' thing). This girl, I tell you, this girl. She honestly makes me cry with laughter, like every single post—there's something that gets me. My favourite thing is the fact that our friendship is mostly like this...

Secondly, Kelly of Diva Booknerd. Kelly is the sassiest, most ridiculous blogger you'll ever follow. I've honestly had the weirdest Twitter conversations with Kelly that revolved around hairy mermaids (?) and stealing Alice in Wonderland bags from people. She's kind of that crazy, but really nice family member that makes you look slightly more sane to the rest of your family.

Speaking of really nice people...Chiara of Books for a Delicate Eternity/Chiara Sullivan is a gorgeous human being. Chiara's been there for me through some of the suckiest times of my life and she's a great listener and friend, but she's also a really awesome blogger and LGBTQ+ writer. You should definitely check out. (Also, winner of the most gorgeous blog designs, yes?)

Keeping with the writing them, there's the lovely Inge of Bookshelf Reflections. Inge and I have recently become critique buddies, and the ideas she has for her novels—just wow. Seriously, just read these posts she has about writing and be envious with me. Also, she also talks about anxiety and depression and I really, really like those posts because one) we don't see them on book blogs very often, two) they're incredibly real. Just, Inge, you guys.

Do you follow any of these awesome people? Or have you become obsessed with one (or more) of the four I mentioned last time?

The Book Blogger Test

I was tagged by the wonderful Kelly from Diva Booknerd...Victorian bloggers REPRESENT! The tag is simple, answer the questions and then tag five other bloggers!

Questions
1. What are your top three book pet hates?
Broken spines, insta-love and unnecessary sequels/spin-offs. 

2. Describe your perfect reading spot. 
A nice comfortable seat/swingy thing in the sun with a cup of tea.

3. Tell us three book confessions.
I buy books in various genres but I usually only read books in the same or similar genre at the same time- for example, currently it's fantasy. Whenever I see a free bookmark, I have to take one (or, you know, three). I have a habit of picking up new books, reading a few pages and then leaving them unfinished for months at a time.

4. When was the last time you cried during a book?
I cry in books a lot, as well as in TV shows and movies. But I think the last book I cried in was Ignite Me (happy tears), but before that it was The Book Thief (very, very, very sad tears). 

5. How many books are on your bedside table?
None. My bedside table is sort of my Chami shrine- I've got a framed photo of us, two teddy things (named Chely and Pisa) one of which was a 18th birthday gift from Chami and the other one that we both own, as well as various other gifts she's given (and many embarrassing selfies she's sent). I really don't have room for any books!

6. What is your favourite snack whilst your reading?
I don't usually eat and read at the same time, but I usually have a cup of tea beside me- either Earl Grey or Pomegrante. 

7. Name three books you would recommend to everyone.
Kill the Music by Nansi Kunze, These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner and Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier.

8. Show us a picture of your favourite bookshelf on your bookcase. 
My favourite shelf is currently pretty non-existent as I've lent most the books out to a friend. Usually though, it holds These Broken Stars, my Nansi Kunze and Eva Pohler collections, Fangirl and the Across the Universe series. (I'll be doing a bookshelf tour eventually!)
 
9. Write how much books mean to you in just three words.
More than anything (except Chami).

10. What is your biggest reading secret?
This isn't really a secret, but...I still haven't read Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.

Bloggers I Tag
I'm going to take a couple of my lovely blogger friends...(I don't know if any of you have been tagged before, but anyway!)
