Ugh I thought I fixed it to post at 1pm but it changed the time to 1am like the nerd I am. I’m sorry fam! I’m awake now though so here I go! Can you believe it’s already April 21st? It’s like time is going by so quickly for some reason? Probably because all the days are running together at this point.

Today is the second day of Meeghan @ Meeghan Reads hosting for Bookending Spring!

Share some love around – tell us about the bloggers who motivate and inspire you!!

Oh gosh don’t I do this all the time though? Let’s round these people up, shall we?

Okay so you know how I feel about everyone that I love in the blogging community and I don’t even know how I’m supposed to list everyone and make it nice! But here we gooooooooo.

I’m so in love with Dini and I really cherish our friendship that ended up coming from our love of books. I have seen her blog grow and have just loved everything that she’s posted to this day. Her personality is so warm and sweet and seriously everyone is better having her in their lives.

Tiffany inspires me to be more vocal about diverse reads and just being a good person all around. I also love that her blog also incorporates lifestyle posts and everything about her is just perfect.

CW is one of the bloggers that I aspire to be like because wow. I can’t even put into words how amazing they are, but you can see how much work they put into their blog. Not just the visual aesthetics, but of course the posts and the discussions and everything. I just… wow. I wish I had their drive.

Emer is so sweet and I love her so much. She is so positive within the community and I never feel like crap whenever I hear from her. You can feel like your post was the absolute worst and she’ll come in and say “wow this was amazing” and truly mean it and then you just shake off all the negative self-talk you had and remember that you’re amazing. Emer makes you feel amazing, and that’s because she is amazing herself.

Sammie! I feel like she’s been one of the bloggers that has helped me get to where I am today. I absolutely adore her and feel like she’s on of my older sisters that I can talk to about things that I feel like I can’t talk about by myself. She’s just amazing and I’m so glad to have her in my life.

May!!!! Ugh she is also one of the bloggers that I aspire to be like when I get more experienced in the blogging world. She’s also such a huge voice in the diversity community and I strive to be like her as well. To be able to articulate my thoughts in a way that makes people want to change their internal bias from years of having that ingrained in you. Just… wow.

Mere is the sweetest ever! I love how engaging she is in the community and how much she just wants all of us to be happy and healthy and have a sense of belonging.

Lili makes me wish that I was as educated and motivated as her to just dish out amazing content that makes you want to think critically and learn something new. She’s also just one of the sweetest people I’ve seen in this community and I love being able to support her.

Right now her blog is on a hiatus, but I have to include Shealea because she has been such a huge inspiration for me. She makes me want to really be more intentional on my reading habits, write more critically about the books I read and be more of a vocal person speaking out against injustices and just supporting diverse reads on all platforms. She really is such a huge inspiration for me as a person, as a reader, as a blogger. Everything.

Obviously this isn’t an extensive list but I wanted to make sure I did a shout out to those that really do inspire me in my blogging and reading journey. Thank you so much to you and everyone that has made an impact in my life. Seriously you are so amazing and continue to inspire me every single day. I love you all and I hope that we can be friends friends one day!
