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 friend who is always so kind in her check-ins and she takes some of the prettiest photos I have ever seen! Welcome Shannon, @reads.by.the.sea!!<3 Meet Shannon, @reads.by.the.sea!Why did you decide to start a Bookstagram? I started my bookstagram because I wanted a place to share my love of books and to kind of document this season in my life. My kids were about to start school and I needed another hobby to keep me busy. Little did I know that this is not just a hobby, but a place to hang out with awesome bookish friends from all around the world. Starting my account is hands down one of the best things I could have ever done! What is your favorite genre? YA Fantasy & Retellings What are you currently reading? The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant What are some of your favorite fandoms? The Wizarding World, Shadowhunters, The Folk of the Air, and sooo many others. What's your favorite color, movie, song, band, TV show, food, animal, etc? Favorite Color- dark spice orange Favorite Movie- anything Disney especially Tangled Favorite Song- First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes Favorite Band- AFI Favorite TV Show- Golden Girls & Gilmore Girls Favorite Food- Cheesecake Favorite Animal- black jaguar Who are your Top 5 favorite characters in literature?

I love all the connections I have made with people all around the world who enjoy the same things I do. What are your hobbies outside of Bookstagram? Reading, of course! Also, baking, playing video games like Animal Crossing and Pokemon Go, and playing cards with my husband. List some bookstagrammers that have inspired you on this bookish journey! You!

Do what you love and be true to yourself. It is so easy to get caught up in the numbers, but really nobody cares how many likes you get , how big your personal library is, or how many followers you have. If you share your true genuine self and read whatever you want to read without worrying about those things then you will be rewarded with personal joy and an amazing group of book friends. Follow Shannon on Instagram at @reads.by.the.sea!! Be sure to check out my stories on Instagram @the_bookish_ballad all week for a more interactive feature and get to know Shannon more.
