Happy Friday!

What’s your favorite type of bookish social media post, either to create or see?

Reviews, TBR stacks, bookish memes, cover recreations, shareable graphics, etc.?

To see Reviews, even better if they give a rating of stars. So many reviews have lead to some really great books and some have even saved me time by not reading a certain book.

I like reviews too- not spoilers. I actually don’t like to read blurbs b/c it messes with the predictability. I like to know genre, if there is spice, possible trigger warnings. I also like to know if the series is unfinished. I do sometimes start ones that aren’t finished, but I want to know that going in.

I love readalike lists and graphics! It’s so helpful to see books with similar themes or topics and I love when it’s put into some kind of fun graphic that I can share in my IG stories or retweet!

I like reviews, bookish memes, and cover recreations. Graphics are also fun.

I really appreciate seeing reviews - it helps me discover new books and new authors.

Other things I like to see instead:

Trope
Genre
If Romance- possible kinks. (I hope I can say that)

Reviews are so important. As a classroom teacher with a large classroom library, I do not get a chance to read everything. Reviews & ARCs are how I determine purchases too!

My favorite bookish social media post is a book giveaway followed by an honest book review. But honest book reviews online are hard to find. Mine are always honest.

I mostly post on social media about review opportunities. I’m always looking for people willing to accept free books to review!

Reviews and TBR stacks… those are the best ways to find new books.

My favorite is always memes! I just love them.

Cover recreations or interpretations. Bookish people are so creative!

katieish · August 28, 2021, 12:37am

I hadn’t thought of those, that sounds so fun! Wish I was artistic lol

pate6685 · August 30, 2021, 12:30am

I love bookish memes and seeing what others are reading

dhammelef · August 30, 2021, 11:41am

I enjoy reading and posting book reviews without spoilers.
