Tell Us A Little About You.
@EverythingSophieReads: I’m a year old bookstagrammer from Northern Ireland! I live with my partner, our two Siberian Forest cats, Arlo and Fiadh, as well as our Cocker Spaniel puppy, Fen. I work in IT and spend my evenings walking the dog, reading and I’ve recently discovered that I love to bake!
Tell Us A Little about your Bookstagram account And How It Got Started.
@EverythingSophieReads: I’ve always loved reading but took a big break after finishing my MA in English Literature and started my bookstagram when I started to get back into it a couple of years back. I’ve met so many amazing people and had conversations with new friends from all over the world thanks to our love of fictional worlds!
Who Is Your Favorite Indie/Small Press Author And Why?
@EverythingSophieReads: Callie Hart! I read her self-published novel Quicksilver before it was picked up and traditionally published and I LOVED IT!
All Time Favorite Indie Book?
@EverythingSophieReads: Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon! This series is so much fun and spicy, as well as tackling some really tough issues. I’ve enjoyed pretty much everything this author has written.
Tell Us A Bit About Why The Bookstagram Community Is Important To You.
@EverythingSophieReads: Reading has always been something i’ve enjoyed, especially as a child. I can totally fall into fictional worlds and forget about any worries or stress I might have/be feeling that day. It’s the ultimate escapism! As far as bookstagram goes, it’s been so much fun chatting with other readers about the books we love (or didn’t enjoy!) and the buzz around big publishing dates (Onyx Storm By Rebecca Yarros for example) is just the best! I feel part of a really positive community and I love getting book recommedations too!
