Hey bookworm friends! I used to share community links as part of my wrap-ups but I’ve been wanting to do dedicated posts for links for a while now. So, welcome to my first Community Links post, which is for January & February combined! I want to be more social on the blog this year so I’m hoping this helps me keep up with more fellow bloggers’ posts 😊. Apologies in advance for all of the exclamation marks, but I need them all 😜.
Reviews
- Way Of The Walker by Salinee Goldenberg | ARC Review ⟡ Sophie @ Me & Ink wrote such a compelling review that I added the book to my TBR, even though I haven’t read The Last Phi Hunter!
- Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett – ARC Review! ⟡ Becky @ Becky’s Book Blog wrote such a delightful review, I’m convinced I’ll love it!
- DETOUR by Jeff Rake & Rob Hart – Review ⟡ Tammy @ Books, Bones & Buffy really put me in a sci-fi mood with her amazing review, and she gives a tip not to read the story blurb as it’s full of spoilers. This is the kind of helpful tidbits I appreciate about her reviews!
- ARC Review: The Fox and the Devil ⟡ Louise @ Foxes & Fairy Tales wrote a review that intrigued and excited me to get to my ARC of it, even if I’m a bit behind on it 🙈!
- This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews ⟡ Meg @ Meggatzabookclub wrote a really thoughtful and fun review that really makes me wish I’d read more Ilona Andrews already!
- Review: Lent ⟡ Rachael @ The Green Tea Librarian provides a very helpful tip along with the review which I need to remember for when I get to this book on my shelf! Thank you 🙂
- Captain’s Log – snake-eater & nine goblins (T. Kingfisher) ⟡ The Captain @ Captain’s Quarter’s. I really enjoyed reading these two mini reviews, and I learned a bit more about T. Kingfisher, which is always a good thing!
- A FOREST, DARKLY by A.G. Slatter – Review⟡ Tammy @ Books, Bones & Buffy also wrote a review about this book I had never heard about but now really want to read. That’s the beauty (and danger) of reviews!
Bookish Crafts
- Embroidery Book Sweater Update 1 ⟡ Leslie @ Books Are The New Black‘s embroidery project is such a cute idea and I’ve loved seeing how the sweater has evolved the more she reads!
- Book squares: complete ⟡ Rebecca @ The Farm Wife Reads made crochet squares based on book covers and they are all so pretty! Her blanket is almost done and I can’t wait to see what it looks like!
Challenges, Lists & Discussions
- My 2026 Out of Your Comfort Zone Challenge TBR 💗 ⟡ Caro @ Bookcheshirecat is hosting the OOCZ challenge again for another year, in case anyone wants to join in!
- Ranking Classic Children’s Picture Books ⟡ Krysta @ Pages Unbound offers her insight into various children’s classics and I found it such a creative idea!

Other Links Worth Visiting
These links are not from the blogosphere but from different places on the internet that I thought were worthy of sharing with you all 🖤.
- For the craft-dabblers: Kathleen Illustrated posted a great Youtube video about easy and intuitive crafts to combat burn-out. A guide to crafts for people who hate to be bad at things .𖥔 ݁ anti-burnout craft ideas
- For everyone: Jameela Jamil wrote a fantastic and life-changing article about beauty standards that I think everyone should read. I honestly felt so liberated by it and I hope you do too! Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards.
Let’s chat in the comments!
What are you currently reading? Or have you connected with any new-to-you bloggers lately?!
This is a great list with so many new to me pages and posts, as well as a few familiar ones. Love both of the bookish craft projects and really want to try something myself sometime. Thanks for linking to my list post, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🥰🥰 I’m saving this to try and check out some of the other links over the month. I want to start blog hopping more again, this time hopefully without letting it completely take over 🤞
Oh yay thank you I’m so glad that some of these bloggers are new to you 🙂 Yes I am so tempted to do a bookish craft to track the books I read one year 🙂 My pleasure 🥰 & good luck, you got this! 😀
I also highly recommend the Slatter book. It’s really good. I’m currently reading The Snake Eater so much check out that link you posted to The Captain’s Quarter.
Lynn 😀
Oh that’s so good to hear I’m glad you liked that book too, it honestly sounds so good! And I hope you’re enjoying Snake Eater too!
Such a good list of posts! And I’m so flattered you shared mine <3 I hope to have the blanket finished and posted soon! 😀
I have only read one Ilona Andrews series (well, I guess it technically was a trilogy that had a spinoff trilogy? I consider it all 1 bigger series), but am very excited about this new one! 😀
Thank you for mentioning my post! I really hope you end up liking the books 🥰 it is lovely to see blogger’s posts shared, thank youuu❤️
Oh, I always love these posts (we need more people to do them), I spy several posts I haven’t seen yet so I get to reading~
Yes I enjoy these types of posts too because they introduce me to bloggers I’m not familiar with and I often miss stuff! I’m hoping to do this semi-regularly! Thank you 🙂
