My favourite bookish Substacks
Cosy recommendations for all bookworms
As an avid bookworm, there is nothing I like better than consuming bookish content. Alongside reading books, of course.
There is something rather wonderful about connecting with other reading fanatics. Books have the magical ability to bring people together from all walks of life. And I’m always on the lookout for more recommendations for my ever growing TBR list!
So, I thought I’d share some of these wonderful Substacks with you today, with the important caveat that this is not an absolute list, rather a snapshot of what I have been consuming lately.

Love reading Receipt from the Bookshop and Literary Learnings!
Thanks so much for including my little Substack in this round-up. Plenty of bookish content to come; just ploughing my way through the books to do so, heh.
Thank you for your recommendations! 🩷 I also love Receipt from the Bookshop, so funny (and so true), brings back memories from my years working as a bookseller. 📚 😄 Books have always played a huge part in my life. There have been so many and diverse books that have moved me, excited my, made me laugh, made me think, taught me something, opened whole new worlds for me. I'm always curious to discover new writers, topics, books. And it's so great to connect with others via books.
