I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday, which I realize I haven't done in a while. Well, we're back! And the topic this week is 10 bookish people to follow on twitter!
I am on twitter a lot. Like an unhealthy amount. But it's for a good reason - there are SO many awesome bookish people who also spend a probably unhealthy amount of time on there too! So I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite twitterers (tweeters?) so that you can join in the awesomeness. The first three are authors who just rule the twitter game, and the rest are bloggers.
(Of course, I have way more than 10 awesome twitter favorites. If we've chatted on twitter, you are probably one of them! But because of the limits of being human, I could not make a list to infinity, so I just had to settle with ten.)
Okay, I confess, I haven't read her books yet. But her tweets are
just so GOOOOOOD, that means her books must be too, right? She tweets about the
struggles of writing, the glory of cats, and general bookishness. I LOVE IT SO
MUCH.
2. Maggie Stiefvater @mstiefvater
Okay obviously Maggie Stiefvater is the queen of authorly twitter
because she is the queen of everything. Just go follow her. Don't ask
questions.
3. Shannon Hale @haleshannon
Shannon Hale tweets about writerly life
and her family and adorable kids - but also a lot about sexism in the
publishing world, and what we can do to combat it.
4. Whitney @whittynovels
So this girl makes me laugh out loud
sometimes. But she's not just on Twitter, she's on tumblr and Vine and YouTube
too and on ALL of them she is JUST AS FUNNY. HOW IS SOMEONE THIS GOOD AT SOCIAL
MEDIA.
Okay but Cait is just fantabulous and if
you don't know that already, what are you doing with your life? (Her instagram is superb too, if you were wondering.)
6. Faye @Writerology
Only recently have I discovered the
magical thing that is #storycrafter chats, hosted by the lovely Faye. Every
Sunday (at 2pm CST? I think?) writers gather to discuss some aspect of writing.
My first one was a role playing one which was SO FUN and I was hooked.
Kat is lovely and fun and just so nice and I like her lots. Also she's doing Camp NaNo and has recruited me as her personal encourager, so if you follow her maybe she'll be encouraged? :-P
8. Katie @SherwoodWriter
So Katie might have been possibly my first
writer-friend on Twitter and she is just splendid. Also if you want to talk
about anything dragon-related, she's your girl.
Just looking at that twitter avatar, you know that Cassie is absolutely hilarious and fun. She is always great to chat with and has a fabulous sense of humor.
10. Annie @annie_hawthorne
Annie is quite possibly the absolute sweetest little cinnamon roll I have ever met on the internet. :-) (I hope you don't mind me calling you that...? I mean it as a 100% compliment!) Also she shares excellent writing snippets.
Now it's your turn! Tell me in the comments what other epic accounts I should follow on twitter! And go follow the lovely people I mentioned, if you haven't done that yet :-)

Great picks this week! I love this weeks topic, I get to share some of my favourite bookish people but then I am also discovering new ones that I can follow. Thanks for the awesome recommendations, I had Cait on my list too because she is sooooo awesome. Can't wait to check out the others :) You can see my picks here
ReplyDeleteIt's been great this week, hasn't it? I love finding new people to stalk on twitter :-)
DeleteAHH THIS IS AN AMAZING LIST. I mean, because I'm on it. AHEM. #humble (Just kidding. XXDXD) But omg I love Cassie and Katie and Annie and Kat so much too. <3 And also Lauren DeStefano is hysterical. And Maggie Stiefvater...OF COURSE. QUEEN OF EVERYTHING SHE DOES.
ReplyDeleteYES EVERYTHING WITH YOU IS AWESOME
DeleteBecause you are one of the most humble people I know. Of course.
I don`t do twitter, but I think following writers would be fun!
ReplyDeleteThe twitter book/writing community is spectacular and I highly recommend that you join the madness!
DeleteI don't do twitter, though I'm thinking about it, but I love Lauren DeStefana (and I've read all of her fabulous books) and Maggie Steifvater and lots of the other ones you mentioned. Bookish Twitter is the best. Awesome post :)
ReplyDeleteJOIN US in the madness of bookish twitter! You will never regret it! (Well, maybe you will, but by then it will be too late mwahaha) :-)
DeleteLauren DeStefano is SUCH AN EXCELLENT CHOICE OMG. I love Twitter. It's about equal with Instagram at the moment in terms of favourite social media. And Maggie Stiefvater as well. Ah. Some people are just too clever.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I think twitter beats IG for me, actually!
DeleteTrue, some people just have extra cleverness. Can I have some of their extra please?
Oh, cool. I only have a Pinterest account as far as social media goes, but I've been considering Twitter, if my parents approve. It seems to be the place where writers hang out, promote, and go wild ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I tagged you for the Infinity Dream Tag if you'd like to give it a shot :)
I'd say twitter is definitely The Place for authors and readers. Bookish twitter is such a good community, even though it seems like twitter outside of that is a little petty, in my opinion. When I first joined, I was skeptical, but OMG it's my favorite now!
DeleteOoh thank you! I'll check it out!
