Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This meme was created because they are particularly fond of lists there at The Broke and the Bookish. They'd love us to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!
Each week they will post a new Top Ten list complete with one of their bloggers’ answers. Everyone is welcome to join. All they ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND post a comment on their post with a link to your Top Ten Tuesday post to share. If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
The topic this week is:
Ten Websites I Love That Aren't About Books
I don't really go on a lot of websites that aren't about books, but the ones I do are pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. I'm going to break it down into categories in order to show off some more specific things. These are all sites/channels/places of awesome I visit on the regular!
Bloggers:
I know it's weird that I read a "mom" blog when I'm not even a parent, but there is just something so beautiful about Rebecca's family. She also writes about being woman, being confused/scared, life in general. And those entries are the ones I really love.
Jes is a body positivity badass, and one of my role models for sure. Her outlook on fatphobia, and a fat woman's place in society is very empowering. She has helped me deal with some of my issues, and she is just fucking hilarious!
I am a self-affirmed geek (I mean you can't love books as much as I do without being a geek). Therefore, I love Melinda's blog because she reviews all the fun geeky stuff I'm into, and introduces me to things I might not know about yet!
Vloggers/YouTubers:
Sarah is the first vlogger I saw on YouTube that talked so much about Disney. I love her humor, her enthusiasm, and her heart. She does really interesting videos all over the geeky spectrum, but her Disney content is top notch, and brings me back every time!
Let's talk motherfucking amazing content. Casey does a vlog every. single. day. of. the. year. And they aren't shitty, or uninteresting. He lives his life authentically, and puts his mad-video skills to great gain. If you never watch any other vlogger/YouTuber other than Casey, you'll be set.
Please go watch Grace. Please!! She is hilarious, smart, and unapologetic. Her humor is so original, and she just is such a fun person to watch. The ideas she comes up with sometimes, I don't even know. Each video, even if it's premise is the stupidest thing ever, is great. She makes it great.
Hands down the sweetest beauty guru out there. I love Fleur because it never feels like she makes her videos just to be "on top". If you watch beauty gurus like I do, you'll know what I mean. She is genuine, with both her reviews and her product endorsements. Also her vlog channel (Fleurdevlog) is full of super cute day in the life, starring her, her very handsome husband, and there three adorable puppies! Love her so much!
Bits and Bobs:
HOCKEY! ROMANCE! SHENANIGANS! This webcomic has it all! It is my favorite thing ever, and has taken over my tumblr for real. It is so so so good, and you should check it out if you haven't already!
Humor gold. The things that people text under the influence (alcohol, drugs, or stupidity - take your pick) is crazy. If I want a quick chuckle, I definitely head over here.
This site is my life blood. I am obsessed with posting photos, and I love seeing my friends lives through photos when I can't be there with them. I've always been an obsessive photographer ever since middle school, so finally having somewhere to post those photos is amazing.
As you can tell, I love the Internet. I am constantly hooked in, and I know some people think that's horrible, but that is how I experience the world at large. I get to "meet" new people, sometimes half way around the world. I get to read interesting posts and learn about new things. I get to share a piece of my life with people who may need that connection.
Please check out the websites I shared; they're all pretty great in different ways. Leave me suggestions of your favorite websites (both about books and not about books ;) ) in the comments!
