Thanks for this guide! I subscribe to many of the mentioned BookStack accounts and have grown so much as a reader from reading & commenting on the posts. My TBR list is too long for my lifetime…but no complaints. 😊📚💕

I've grown so much as a reader from all of them, too! I feel like I'm getting an English degree just from being active on Substack. And same problem with my TBR too, it's almost stressful! But whenever I feel stressed I'm like, this is a great problem to have.

Thanks for reading!

I am not sure if I should kiss you or curse you for this fabulous guide! ;) I do have to work occasionally you know.

I also want to shout out for Renee’s substack of It’s Book Talk & More. She is great at engaging her readers while she shares her opinions of writers & books. Love her stack.

I am really laughing that the first word you chose to describe my reviews was long because that is... so correct. The day I manage to fit all my thoughts and feelings about a book into a concise few sentences will be a very odd day indeed - one I don't wish to arrive! Honoured to be included here, particularly being sandwiched between icons Sara & Traci. Thank you Kolina!

Long live the book community we have all found on here. We take our love for books to the next level and I enjoy being a part of it every single day!

Long or not, I read every word! And I don’t wish that day to arrive either. That’s right — long live taking our books seriously!

I don't know if you saw but people have been getting louder on notes and demanding just a simple Books post-category by Substack... which would make it easier for people to find us. But until then... we will continue to need posts like these so we can find our people.

Thank you for your service, madam. 🥰
