I’m sorry? Only going to be 33?.. Such a baby still, makes me feel OLD! Thank you for the shout out.. you are the sweetest! I understand the aesthetic and wanting to fit in. I review for the love of the books but when my feed doesn’t have the reach that a lot of other accounts have it can get disheartening. I get imposter syndrome because I want these reviews in the world so someone else can live a book like I do and when I’m on the losing side of the algorithm I feel like I’m letting people down. It did bring me to the Sisters of the Page so I gave that going for me! 😉

Thank you so much for the beautiful shout out! I love you on purpose bestie! 😘 As you know, I've mostly taken a step back from Instagram. I'm simply not enjoying it or feeling supported by the hate that has become rampant on the app. It's not the warm and wonderful place it was when I first found bookstagram and the loopers (gods that was a long time ago!) And ultimately found my people (starting with Miri and her picture of the St. Louis Arch). Happy early birthday my friend. You are only as old as you allow yourself to feel, and you, my dear, keep us young (33 is a baby 🤭 wait until you're staring down 42).

I feel you Mariah. I want to just snap a picture of the book cover and talk about it. Setting up a unique flat lay and making sure none of the mess of my house can be seen? Takes all the fun out of it. How about we start a revolution? #nonaestheticbooksta or for those of us who can’t spell aesthetic without spell check #realbooksta
