OwlCrate 17+

So I have grown to dislike social media over the years. It causes my anxiety to go crazy and you can find so much negativity everywhere you look. But this app has been one of the most positive communities I’ve ever seen. Everyone has been incredibly kind, and I’ve learned about so many new books to add to my tbr! It also helps encourage reading through reading challenges, where you can join groups and discuss your books and what you might be struggling with. There are other cool things like interviews with popular authors/authors of the books that Owlcrate sends out in their boxes. You don’t have to be an owlcrate subscriber to participate in the app, but honestly I don’t know how you could resist once you see the images of the items and books from the boxes each month. If you’re looking for a safe space to find fellow book worms and discuss books, or if you’re even just thinking about trying to read more, I highly recommend this app!

After years of following tons of Facebook and instagrams just to get book recommendations I am in love. This unbelievable app brings it all together in one place without having to sift through ads and random additions to your stream. The groups allow you to choose the genres and activities that appeal to you and the community of people is so outstanding. It’s only been a month but I have already made new book connections and the upcoming author chats have me doing a happy dance.
Best news? It’s all free!!! Chats, books discussions, challenges, data tracking, author chats and SO MUCH MORE! Updates are continuously happening and I love that if I think wow this option would be incredible if it could be tweaked to include…wishes do come true.

As much as I’d love to have time to participate in a book club or group of fellow readers, I just don’t have the time or the network to work such a thing. I joined Owlcrate Nest expecting to get inside scoops and discounts for their box. What I didn’t expect was to find a place where book lovers (and likers) get together to talk books, tv adaptions, book news and all bookish things. It’s really a bookish network and community in an app and I’m here for it!
