Let’s get this out-of-the-way now, blogging takes up an inordinate amount of time. If it’s not coming up with ideas, or the actual writing, or the editing, then it’s the promotion, engagement and sharing of that post. Hell, it’s a full-time job. But wait, you already have one of those. Right now, you want to…

Awhile back, I put a feeler out on Twitter to see if anyone wanted to do guest posts for each other about being a blogger. Michael Clark saw the blogger signal high up in the sky and met me on the roof of a large building on a dark and stormy night to interview each other.
We came up with 10 questions and answered them on each other’s blogs. His blog is http://MichaelClarkWrites.blogspot.com and he will be writing up a post with my answers sometime in the next couple of days! You can also find Michael on Twitter at @Michaelbigchees. I will let you bookworms know when it is posted. But for now, I will deliver his answers on my blog post so get ready to learn a bit about Michael!

Well the month of May has ended and that means that it is time to announce the winner of May’s giveaway. It was a month filled with trips to Montreal and concerts for me but I still had some time to get some reading in and be productive with some reviews. We have a bunch more reviews coming soon.
Now without further ado, the winner of the May giveaway is…..
@bibliobeautybooks
Congratulations on winning. I will get in touch with you to find out your mailing information and I hope you enjoy the book! Make sure to tag @breakevenbooks if you post a photo of your contest winnings 🙂
I have been working on growing my Instagram account and looking for some great bookstagrammers to connect with. There are so many out there that it is hard to choose which ones to feature. In my search, I found some really cool accounts that have to do with bookish items and I figured I would share them!
She posts a lot of new books she is reading and talks about book events she is going to. I believe she also has a booktube you could check out on her profile.
This bookstagrammer posts a lot of photos of their bookshelves and they make me super jealous :P.
I started following her when I saw that we read a bunch of the same books and then just really liked her book photography!
This is a fellow Canadian bookstagrammer! She is all the way over in Vancouver though 😛 A lot of her posts usually have a coffee/latte/tea in them and they always make me want to be in a nice warm place reading a book with a cup of some warm beverage. She seems to know a lot of nice reading nooks!
Another fellow book reviewer that has read many of the books I have and had similar opinions on them. I also love that they state they are a Ravenclaw in their profile. Anyone in their right mind would be so proud to be a Ravenclaw 🙂
Those are my bookstagram highlights for this week! I will be sharing more next week about bookish accounts that host subscription boxes, design creative bookmarks (they are handmade) and sell literary scented candles!
Talk to you soon bookworms and if you want to nominate someone to get a shoutout, tell me who in the comments and I will include them in future posts!
