This Week’s Theme:
Male Book Bloggers In The Community
(And Where To Find Them)

Initial Thoughts:

“Where are all the male book bloggers?” you ponder.

They don’t exist.

Nah, we’re just a tiny minority (last I heard, we’re 12% strong), so I’mma just vomit as many names I know of despite not actually having interacted with most of them (?) — and this is going to read very stalker-ish — but I assure you, I’m only slightly creepy. Huh?

This isn’t some master list of curated voices from all platforms (re: I didn’t highlight booklr because I don’t really use tumblr).

This list will be updated if/when I discover more voices.

Blogger Tally: 35 (not including Bookstagram/BookTube)

Canada: 3 (yes, I included myself)
USA: 14
South America: 1
Australia: 4
UK: 6
Europe: 2
Southeast Asia: 6

Indigo’s Summer Teen Preview

On March 16, 2016, I was invited to attend Indigo’s Teen Summer Preview Event (re chapters.indigo.ca) — which, in hindsight, if you were a random passerby on the outside looking in, we’d look like a cult following in a kumbaya campfire formation. Or maybe Readers Anonymous (?). Thanks for sharing, I guess.

And if you’re wondering what Indigo is, just imagine if Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, Kinokuniya, or Dymocks hosted an event. Bam.

And as you know, I am terrible at remembering to take photos so I’ll be recapping this event via my super [fail] memory and crediting images taken via the Twitter hashtag #IndigoSummerPreview.
