Dear Bookworms, we are delighted that so many of you contribute to #BookWormSat every Saturday. Reading your literary posts, and discovering new novels, poems and plays to read is absolutely wonderful.
As of January the 1st 2025, #BookWormSat no longer hosts on what was known as Twitter (28th of December is the last session), but we continue our literary adventures on Bluesky.

Some Rules
- Sexism, racism, fascism and so on has no place in our community.
- Stay on topic.
- We love to see multiple posts from the same accounts and we definitely encourage them but please do not flood the hashtag.
- We love gifs too but we think that the silly ones should remain in the gif database.
- The hashtag is about literature. The hosts are writers, and we understand how important it is to get your work out there. However, we kindly ask that you avoid using #BookWormSat to promote your own work.
- And finally, as J.M. Barrie would have said: always try to be a little kinder than is necessary.
Hosts & Hours
The hashtag is hosed by Signe Maene and the brilliant Rachel Deering.
#BookWormSat hosts between 11am and 11pm CET.
Thank you!
A massive thank you to every follower and every bookworm who contributes to the hashtag. We love hosting it, and your posts always brighten up our Saturdays!
