I’m late for yesterday’s prompt – and this one is my favorite! All this month, I’ve been joining Girlxoxo and Traveling with T for the annual #AMonthofFaves blog event – a fun way to recap the year that was. Get all the details here!

This will be my second year participating! (Click here to see last year’s posts!)

Join in anytime for some or all of the topics. There will also be a link-up on the host blogs so that we can all stop by each other’s posts to leave comments, high fives, good vibes, and well wishes.

WED. Dec 18 – #AMonthofFaves [The Blog and IG Love Edition] – Recommend some bloggers and/or Instagrammers for us to check out and tell us what you like about each blog, e.g. bookish, food, fashion, travel, lifestyle, money, mom blogs, productivity, etc. And are the ones you recommended in the past still around?

How do you pick a favorite?! I’ve been pretty active on Instagram this year and have truly found a community of kindred spirits. Here is the A to Z of awesome “bookstagrammers” who have made an impact on my reading life this year. I’ve been lucky to meet some of these lovely people in person and hope to meet more someday!

Asha and I met IRL at an author event this year and we have attended several events together. I like the thoughtful way she reviews books and that she’s always up for going to an event and discovering new authors! She also runs a super fun book club here in Orange County.  Instagram | Blog

Kimberlin is another local friend who has a beautiful feed. She also loves going to author events and bullet journaling and has more washi than me! Instagram

---

Cheddar Mouse is the cutest account. It’s the bookish adventures of a library mouse! Instagram

Deborah and I met this year at an event and she reads an incredible range of books. She’s a prolific reader and I enjoy her take on the books she reviews, plus have you seen her furbaby?! Instagram | Blog

Elena has been an active friend and commenter on IG for a while and she has the most delicious new baby! Instagram | Blog

Christy is a funny and kind soul and I admire that she is open and honest about her personal struggles. She’s an inspiration. And she’s also a foster kitty mom! Instagram | Etsy

Jordy is one of those REALLY popular accounts with a fantastic aesthetic. He and I attended a couple of the same events and I had no idea how much of a following he had. Did I embarrass myself? Probably. Instagram | Blog
