This Week’s Theme:
Books That Make You Laugh
(feat. A Spectrum of Humour)

Initial Thoughts:

I laugh at most things–from the obscene to the ridiculous–and if I don’t laugh, then I’d at least smile. So below is a sampling of my spectrum of “lol” humour. Forgive me if you dislike the term lol as it is used excessively below.

[Top Ten Tuesday] – #103 – YA Series Bloggers Can Read To Earn Street Cred

Top Ten Tuesday is an original weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.

This Week’s Theme:
YA Series Bloggers Can Read
To Earn Street Cred

Initial Thoughts:

It’s kinda like a cult thing (but not really a cult thing).

Fandoms can be fun–and crazy–but you got to have read (or attempted to read) the book to even have a chance at happy flailing or angry flailing. This list features some Young Adult trilogies/series you ought to consider reading for the community appeal that are “popular but not too popular“. (I omit massive franchises that have far greater than 100k review ratings on Goodreads on it’s first installment because at that point, everyone and their pets have read the series).

But being a black sheep is fun too.

I use “street cred” as an adaptive term to just say that its neat when you find someone in the community you can be like “oh hey, I read this and enjoyed it too!” fully knowing that it’s not in the same popularity sphere like The Hunger Games or The Lunar Chronicles etc. (If that makes sense?)

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
