It's been a while since I was actively involved in the book side of tumblr.
So bookworms, here's the call if you're still here. Reblog/like/comment or all 3 if you're a book blog or post a lot about books :)
I need to find the bookworms hiding in the corners of this website

One of the biggest things you and Drew bond over is your love of books.
Drew absolutely loves to spoil you with taking you to the bookstore dates very often.
You both would hit your favorite coffee shop first and get your drinks in takeaway cups.
Then you would go to the bookstore.
Drew would follow you around as you go to different aisles of the store to see different books.
Each time he saw you being intrigued by a book's synopsis which you kept back on the shelf, he would pick it up behind your back to buy it for you.
He doesn't stop you from buying books. The more you buy, the happier he gets.
"But love I've already taken five!" You would protest when he would say these aren't enough.
"No one should ever be stopped from exploring the literature world sweets, buy some more." He would tell you.
Even though you only selected a few books to buy, at the counter you will see the amount of books have doubled.
"Where did these come from?" You would gasp at the pile.
"I saw you seeing these and having a look on your face which says 'hmmm I like this'." He would tell you, the books being the ones you had kept back on the shelves.
No doubt you were intrigued by them and wanted to read them, you didn't want Drew to spend too much on just books.
You would have to give in, because Drew is stubborn and he wouldn't listen to a single thing you'd say.
Each time you and Drew read a book, you both would annotate it.
You will tab the lines which you love, and write little notes in the margins.
Then you would give your annotated version of the book to the other person to read.
You both will then read the other's annotated books, which helps you give more insight on what the other thought.
You would add your own annotations to the books. You would run out of spaces quickly so you add the big post its to write in more content.
Once you both would be done reading the same book, you would have a massive discussion on it.
The discussion could start anywhere, at dinner, late at night when none of you can sleep, when you'd be having little drinks to relax.
It would help you understand each other's understanding about certain things more, strengthening your bond together.
Your favorite books are the classics, and the one book which you both enjoyed so much and reread it all the time is Oscar Wilde's 'Picture of Dorian Gray'.
You both emoted a lot to the book and bring it up often in your discussions.
Oh, and a little bonus: quoting your favorite lines from the books you love all the time in public when you're with friends or family, which is your own inside joke!

For all y’all broke bookworms, there’s another round of the one day free romance ebook bonanza! They’ve listed over 1,000 ebooks for free on a variety of platforms.
It says Dec 27th only but I’ve already downloaded a ton so it looks like it’s up and running early.

Bookblr, I have a problem
I have a YA book. I want to market it to actual teenagers.
I'm given to understand most of them are on TicTok or Instagram.
I can not handle being on either of those. And also I think if I tried to make booktoks to sell my own book the results would be TERRIBLE.
I was thinking of offering a drawing, with the entry being a link to your instagram or tictok reviewing Secondhand Origin Stories/Names in Their Blood but like...what do I offer?
I can make physical merch- I have a lot of experience with that, actually, from my days doing the comic convention circuits. Patches, enamel pins, nail polish, prints, etc.
But would people be willing to give me their address so I can send it to them?
RBs welcome!
