Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature/meme now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. The meme was originally the brainchild of The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is a Thanksgiving freebie.
10 Bookish Things I’m Thankful For
This Thanksgiving, I’m so thankful for all the bookish friends I have made through this blog and yours!
I’m thankful for the many authors who have poured their hearts and countless hours into writing the books that bring me joy. I’m especially grateful to those who have been kind enough to interact with me personally.
I’m thankful for the many authors who have shared with me their knowledge of the writing craft, directly or through their blogs, podcasts, videos, and books.
I’m thankful for all the books that have captivated me, delighted me, moved me, taught me to better understand the world I live in, offered me hitherto-unknown worlds to escape into, and helped me to experience a myriad of perspectives different from my own.
I’m especially thankful for the books I read over and over again, and the books that shaped me into the person I am today.
I’m thankful for the many ways I can access books: the library (and the amazing librarians who keep it stocked with great books), Little Free Libraries, local and online booksellers, NetGalley and Edelweiss.
I’m thankful that I can still see well enough to read, and that when my eyes are too tired to focus, I can listen to audiobooks.
I’m thankful for my Kindle with its e-ink screen and scalable fonts, and for the phone apps that let me take audiobooks with me wherever I go.
I’m thankful that I have space to store the many books I own, and that my wonderful husband is so supportive of my book habit.
I’m thankful for Goodreads. It’s not perfect, but it has been incredibly helpful for book discovery, keeping track of what I have read and what I want to read, and keeping track of what I own.

Your list is wonderful, and most of these things would apply for me as well! (The main exception is that I’m more grateful for The StoryGraph than Goodreads. 😉 )
Happy Thanksgiving!
