Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme that was originally created and hosted by Rukky @ Eternity Books starting in August 2019, and was then cohosted with Dani @ Literary Lion from May 2020 to March 2022. I have been the host since the beginning of April 2022, and Dini @ dinipandareads has cohosted with me since the beginning of 2025.
Let’s Talk Bookish is a meme where participants discuss certain topics, share their opinions, and spread the love by visiting each other’s posts. Topics for each month will be posted a month in advance here on my blog, and will be available in their own posts as well as here in the archive. You can also suggest topics and download the official header images from this page.
The topic archive here includes topics from April 2022 on. All previous topics, going back to August 2019, can be found on Rukky’s blog.
