YALC 2018 (and other bookish events)

I have attended many bookish events this year, but I realised I haven't properly talked about them here yet! I am obsessed with bookish events and I have been trying to pack as many of them in 2018 as I can. I love that I never feel much pressure to talk to people, but that knowing I have something in common with those around me makes me feel more confident in talking to them and making new friends. I hope that I get to attend many more in the future.

Apps and Websites to Help You Live Your Best Bookish Lifestyle

In the era of technology, there are now so many ways to love a good book. Online spaces have become a huge influence on my reading lifestyle.

However, blogging is not the only way to find more books and connect with other readers. Over the past few years, the internet has provided us with a wealth of websites and apps that have made the lives of readers better. Not only does the internet help us to meet new readers with shared interests, but it has also given us new ways to enjoy the literature that we love.
