The #OwnVoices Book Blogger: Original Tag!

This idea has been a long time in the making, so I’m very excited to finally be able to share it with you all!

I wanted to find more Own Voices book bloggers to follow, and I thought a tag would be an ideal way to do this – and to uplift the Own Voices book blogging community at the same time.

You’re welcome to use this graphic with credit

The rules are simple:

• Link back to the creator: Florence @ Miscellany Pages so I can see and support your post.
• Answer the five questions below.
• Tag some more amazing Own Voices book bloggers to participate!

Any book blogger who identifies as Own Voices can participate, even if you aren’t tagged!

Questions

1. What does being an Own Voices book blogger mean to you?
2. Share your top three books by Own Voices authors.
3. Is there a book in which you have felt most seen/represented? If so, tell us about it.
4. What is one thing you wish people outside of your Own Voices community knew? (This could address people who are white, cisgender, straight, able-bodied, etc.)
5. Share a blog post that you’re really proud of!
