As the Christmas bells ring and we near the holiday season, it’s also that time of the year where everyone feels a little more burnt out and more jaded than usual. Not only is that happening in our personal lives, but it also happens throughout the book blogosphere. After all, it’s been a big year […]

A little while ago, Jeann wrote a post about consumerism in the book community, which in summary basically said “if book bloggers/tubers/ influencers can afford to and want to spend money on books, good for them!
