What inspired you to become a wormfluencer for Bookworm?
The community that bookworm creates is such a supportive and kind corner of the book world. I am ecstatic that I received the opportunity to be a member of this community and share how awesome this app is. From the ability to talk with other readers and create posts about books, to the app's colorful aesthetic design, there is so much to appreciate. I'm excited to share my passion for reading with this group.

What are your bookish reading habits? (ie a cup of earl grey tea while you read, need to read outside, etc.)
A bookish reading habit I have is almost always carrying a physical book with me. I always require a bag large enough to fit my book and I read at any time.

What is one book Bookstagram or Booktok made you buy? Are there any books you are planning to buy because of Bookstagram or Booktok?
A book Booktok made me buy was Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman and I plan to buy The Bodyguard by Katherine Center.

What is your favorite genre to read? What are your favorite books from that genre?
My favorite genre to read is fantasy/romantasy. Some of my favorite books are The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow, Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross, and Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare.

What makes the bookworm app special? Why should other readers join bookworm?
In my experience, there are so many things that make the bookworm app special. First, it is an incredibly welcoming community that focuses on putting the books and readers first. Second, the design of the app is so fun to look at and I love logging my reading there. Third, there are challenges and book clubs you can join to read with other readers or challenge yourself personally. Overall, it is a fun app to log your reading on while also caring about its users!
