Let’s Talk About My Experience as an International Reviewer (think-piece/discussion post) - by Fadwa
Fadwa tells it like it is for us non-US (and non-UK, to an extent) based content creators. From access to books (or lack thereof), to relationships with publishers, to all the book-related activities/goodies our US bookish friends take for granted and we hardly get a chance to enjoy.

Blogging Tips: 5 Easy Ways to Make Your Blog More Accessible for Screen Readers (+ Bonus Social Media Tips!) (tips list) - by Kit
Kit compiled a considerate and useful list of ways you can enhance your blog/site/social media content for visually impaired users. From alt text for images, to blockquotes, to cryptic Twitter symbols that screen readers can't translate, it's all there - and it's simple!

Book Blogging vs. Booktoking AKA "Why Can't We All Just Get Along?" (discussion post + interview) - by Emily
Emily tackles the latest content creators conflict - book bloggers vs. booktokers - and wonders why we shouldn't simply admit we are two faces of the same coin. Her post contains an analysis of the BookTok phenomenon for those who (like me) aren't familiar with it, and an interview with a budding booktoker.
