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 one of my bookstabesties who I just adore! Welcome the lovely, Hailey, @page_pixie!!<3 Meet Hailey, @page_pixie!Why did you decide to start a Bookstagram? I started bookstagram as a positive outlet, while struggling with anxiety and depression. Books have been my escape for all my life, but I went through a very tough time a while back, and I stopped reading altogether for over five years. I had sort of settled into a life where I didn't constantly have my nose stuck in a book, but then when another major event sent me spiraling, I knew I had to find something positive again. So I started reading, and joined booksta to keep me reading and take my mind off things. What is your favorite genre? PNR (paranormal romance) but I'm picky about it, LOL! What are you currently reading? Six of Crows! I totally understand the Kaz Brekker love now. He's swoon worthy! What are some of your favorite fandoms? Dark-Hunters, Black Dagger Brotherhood, The Folk of the Air, Grishaverse, ACOTAR, SJTR, Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, Studio Ghibli. What's your favorite color, movie, song, band, TV show, food, animal, etc? Favorite Color: Purple Favorite Movie: It's a tie between Beauty and the Beast (not the live action), and The Crow Favorite Song: Do people actually have favorite songs? Like, can they really choose? I'm such a music junkie, this is a difficult question. Lately I've been kicking it old school though, and have been currently obsessed with the acoustic version of Tears Don't Fall by Bullet For My Valentine Favorite Band: Avenged Sevenfold (but if speaking honestly, it's more like everything before the Hail to the King album) Favorite TV Show: Buffy Favorite Food: Mexican Favorite Animal: Wolves (give me all the little wolfies, they're so cute!) What is your biggest fear? I'm terrified of losing my eyesight. Who are your Top 5 favorite characters in literature? 1.) The Little Prince 2.) Lestat de Lioncourt 3.) Acheron Parthenopaeus 4.) Feyre Archeron 5.) Winnie the Pooh What do you love about being a bookstagrammer? I love meeting people that share a common interest, seeing all the beautiful photos, being in a supportive community, getting book recs, and tons more! What are your hobbies outside of Bookstagram? Actually reading, writing, listening to music, attempting crafts, spending time with family, binge watching Netflix shows.

I've also learned that I have an amazing supportive community that has been there for me whenever I've needed it. Follow Hailey on Instagram at @page_pixie!!
