Go ahead and grab the May theme card to share it on your blog, on Twitter, Instagram, etc. We’d love to get the word out, so more people who’re interested in weekly rather than daily themes can join us.

April 22 is Earth Day. It’s such an important movement towards a sustainable and renewable earth. Our environment suffers so much from pollution. While we tend to think that we can hardly make a difference by reducing waste and our carbon footprint in general, we can. Put together every individual and the sum makes a whole load of difference. With today’s Bookish Scene theme, Georgie and I are raising our voices with our cameras for the movement. Will you join us?

April is Autism Awareness Month. In support of the campaign, this week’s theme is blue ombré spines to promote solidarity. Autism is often misunderstood because it exits on a spectrum, making it difficult to diagnose. Sadly, knowing that someone is autistic often changes our perception and behaviour towards them. It makes us forget that that there is a person like you and me behind the condition.

New Beginnings made me think of first books in series. They introduce us to new worlds and start us out on a new journey. I figured out pull out some first books in series from my shelf when I realized that my stack kept growing. These are books I’ve kept waiting on my bookshelves for various reasons.
