Grounding Yourself as a Bookish Content Creator
I have written a bunch of posts about the struggles of social media and navigating life online for hobbies, work, and in general over the past weeks, and I think it is about time that I try to bring some sunshine to this area of discussion. Social media is a tool; it is not all…

Can We Really Change Bookish Social Media Practices?
With the discussions over the last month, from bookish content creation and the increase of publications over the last decade, to creator burnout, authors doubling full-time jobs, and the general struggle for people to keep on top of the fast-moving train that is bookish social media, it all begs the question: can we change things…

Creator Burnout in the Digital Age
We live in an era where digital content is at the heart of so many aspects of life. Online shopping is a go-to option for millions of people, so many businesses have online presences, especially smaller ones trying to get out there to their communities, and everyday life is something a lot of people share…

Keeping Up With The Publications
With the number of books that come out each month, let alone each year, it is no wonder we are struggling to keep on top of the new titles and authors debuting. This is even harder for someone like me who reads a variety of genres. Is this a matter of publishing competition? Why was…

The End of Year Reading Crunch
As the end of the year nears and we enter December, one thing I know will be the talk of bookish social media is the reading goals set at the beginning of 2024. At this stage though, it’s more likely the talk of binge reading to try and get the numbers up and prove that…

I’m Doing A PhD About Bookstagram, BookTok and BookTube
It is a strange combination. On the one hand, there are the intensive research requirements of tertiary education and academics, the long hours bent over a notebook, a cup of coffee steaming as the clock strikes midnight, and a near feverish drive to learn more, study more, understand more. On the other hand, we have…

Is Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow and Bone As Good As I Remember?
It’s been some time since I read Shadow and Bone, Leigh Bardugo’s YA fantasy that took the world by storm in recent years. With the popularity of the Netflix TV adaptation, the controversial second season and the show’s cancellation, I thought it was about time to return to the books and see what I remember.…

The Pressure and Subsequent Burnout of Bookstagram
Continuing from last week’s discussion post, let’s dive into the pressures of up-keeping a bookish social media account, specifically a Bookstagram account. I don’t have experience with a BookTok (and I will not be getting one anytime soon) but I will be mentioning booktoks as a part of the pressures of maintaining your brand and…

Bookstagram – A Blessing or A Curse?
Bookstagram, the bookish side of Instagram, has been around for a long time. With reading online spaces like AO3, fanfiction.net for example, and the Millennial Gen-Z social media sphere of X (Twitter), Pinterest, Tumblr, Facebook and Youtube, it wasn’t a surprise that when Instagram came around the book community would flock to the platform. Nowadays,…

Have Libraries Gone Out of Fashion?
In a time of hyper consumerism, you would think that utilising libraries as a means of free reading would be taken up by more readers. After all, the number of books being published in a month is increasing well above the average reading speed of many and the financial strain these book hauls have can…
