Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Bookish People You Should Follow on Social Media

Finally, a TTT that combines the fact that I should be reading with the actual fact that I'm on Twitter. It's not secret that I love social media. Twitter, IG, Tumblr, Facebook, (for my mom,). I want to know you all. And, I want you all to know these ten bookish people.

1. Seanan McGuire - @seananmcguire

Follow for: UF with strong horror elements, Main Coons, the Owl Story

There is an owl in the trees outside my window, hooting like it has been personally dispatched to bring as the Good Word of Athena.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OWL JUST HIT THE WINDOW

— Seanan McGuire (@seananmcguire) February 16, 2016

WHY OWL WHY NO THOMAS NO DON'T HIT THE WINDOW BACK WHAT THE FUCK

If I am not back in five minutes, I have just had the best horror movie death I could reasonably expect in this reality.

2. Courtney Milan - @courtneymilan

Follow for: Books about carriages, corsets, and smartwatches; diversity in the romance genre; hardcore lawyering

Gadget update: if you handwrite and always worry you’ll lose things, iPad Pro + Apple Pencil is tentatively amazeballs.

It’s entirely possible that all of Broadway violates the NYC Human Rights Code on a regular basis and nobody’s ever filed a complaint.

…whether you think it’s valid in THIS instance, when you do it, there’s a lot of POC who are watching you do it and wincing.

4 - 6. foldedpagesdistillery, youngadultbookaddict, ursula_uriarte

Follow for: books arranged gorgeously, a general sense of envy

I was just thinking it was time for a Percy Jackson appreciate post when I ran into @howlingpages #demigodphotocontest2016 last night. There are two prize packages! A Percy themed package, an Annabeth package, and then shoutouts for the winning cabin. (check out her original post for the deets) Couldn’t miss out on that! Earlier this year I took a cabin placement test and it placed me in House of Hades. I’m still not quite sure how I feel about it. ha. After reading through descriptions of all the Gods and Goddesses, I feel like Athena and my inner-Ravenclaw would make a better match. So I think I’m going to claim Athena. The Twelve Olympian Gods are: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes, and either Hestia or Dionysus. While I’m a big fan of Camp Jupiter and the Greek Heroes series, I’ve always been a bigger fan of the Olympians side. Do you have a favorite Greek myth? (Reading my favorite myths from the Greek Gods and Heroes books has been a treat since they are told by Percy. Combining two of my favorite things into an ultimate reading experience. Haha) Or if you’re a demigod, who is your Greek (or Roman) parent?

I'm a little daunted by the size of the books in the A Song of Ice and Fire series! I'm thinking maybe I'll do them in audio. Have any of you guys listened to them? Or if you've read the books, how did you find them? I've only just started watching season three, and I'd wanted to be caught up in time for the new season, so we'll see how I go! ----------------------------------- ❗️Adorable GoT inspired bookmarks by @thestickeralley 😍 ----------------------------------- #Instabooks #Instapic #IGBooks #ItsaBookThing #GoT #GameofThrones #BookandFunko #TheStickerAlley #MagneticBookmarks #JonSnow #Books #Bookish #Booknerd #Bookporn #Bookphotography #Bookstagram #Bookstagrammer #JustRead #ReadMoreBooks #ReadingisAwesome

Every feel like revisiting a world you've visited many times before? That's my conundrum now, I'm dying to start both Harry Potter and The Shadowhunter Chronicles from the very beginning but I have no time 😩 Since I can't do a whole read through, I've been reading favorite chapters on both and passages that I have highlighted in previous reads. - What books do you find yourself picking out of your shelf even if it's just to read one or two chapters? 📚 #SockSunday #HarryPotter #freedobby #dobby #hogwarts #slytherin #gryffindor #🐍
