I'd like to brag about how amazing bookstagrammers are because they make me feel so loved on a daily basis and I really want to give that love back to them! 😘 So...I've developed a little segment to my blog called "The Bookstagrammer Ballads." This Monday I am featuring Kate @a.readeresque.diary, a wonderful person and a new friend!!! Meet Kate @a.readeresque.diary!Why did you decide to start a Bookstagram? I started my account in June 2019 and I had only a few things in mind. First of all, I needed to expand my reading horizons, get out of my fantasy comfort zone and find new books and authors. Second, I love photography and bookstagram gave me a reason to "click" more often than usual. And third, I love to talk and fangirl and gasp and sigh over characters and scenes and quotes. I've found so many amazing people and some have become friends to which I talk daily. What is your favorite genre? Fantasy with a touch of sci-fi and historical fiction now and then. I also enjoy a good autobiography. What are you currently reading? I'm rereading "Aurora Rising" by my favourite dangerous duo, Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. I won an ARC for "Aurora Burning" in a Fairyloot giveaway and I needed to refresh my memory (while secretly enjoying Kal's presence again). What's your favorite color, movie, song, band, TV show, food, animal, etc? Color: dark tones of blue and green. Movie: Pride and prejudice 2005 Song: Snow Patrol - Chasing cars Band: Maroon 5 TV Show: FRIENDS - I'm also a kdrama lover Food: pizza/pasta Animal: anything fluffy Season: Autumn What is your biggest fear? Ending up alone. Getting old and having no one there for me. Who are your Top 5 favorite characters in literature? 1. Elizabeth Bennet 2. Sherlock Holmes 3. Hercule Poirot 4. Aibileen Clark 5. Dracula What do you love about being a bookstagrammer? The people I've met, the books and authors I have discovered (90% of my last read books), all the amazing small shops and artists I have bought or will buy from and the freedom of voicing my own thoughts, without being scared of being laughed at. What are your hobbies outside of Bookstagram? I love to spend time with my family, listen to music, travel, I sometimes dive into DIY territory (I make my own pin hoops and I also bought a sewing machine for other things, bookish and non bookish), go to concerts, watch tennis (Roger Federer fan) or go to race car events. List some bookstagrammers that have inspired you on this bookish journey! @sabisbooks @bookfairy95 @booksandtheblacktea @teacupbooks_ @br.enda @bookish.bones @book_dragon06 @paperfury @ve_xo What are some important things you've learned as a bookstagrammer? Every opinion may be different but each and every one matters, it costs nothing to be kind. There's a big world out there and we are but one letter of this planet's book, but each letter can change the meaning of a word, as such, can influence the outcome of our story. "Have courage and be kind." Follow Kate on Instagram at @a.readeresque.diary!!

Stay tuned...
