The One Where I am so excited to start doing this every month: Book Blogging Posts I have loved in August 2020

I remember when I first saw a post like this I was in awe at how wonderful and just amazing the bookternet community is and since then I have been wanting to do these posts myself and I have finally gotten around to doing them.

This is such a great way to not only spread love and happiness but also to support fellow book bloggers and I love that so many bookish people do this every month and I am happy to be joining the ranks.

Bookstagammers get a shout-out my own Instagram account and it is impossible for me include all the wonderful bookstagram photos posted every month in just one post. Be sure to check out my Shout-Out Highlight on my Profile Page.

Also I may give some shoutouts to some BookTube videos that I have adored over the past month.

Before I begin let me give a huge Shout-out to Sofii @ABookAThought who helped me figure out how to compile blog posts in one and how to make this post.

So without wasting anytime, let me talk to you guys about the Bookternet Posts that I have Loved in August.


One more thing before I begin, there are some AWESOME bloggers who do these shout-outs on a regular basis and I am gonna link their shout-out posts below
