I’m here with another book tag. I saw this one in Sofii @ A Book. A Thought‘s blog.
I am from Finland and I speak Finnish. I live next to over from Turku (which used to be Finland’s capital. It’s such a relive to have a good access to buss again. The town I used to live with my parents I could only go to the buss every hour but here buses come almost every 15 minutes.
It depends on the books. I read most of them in English but I do read some in Finnish, like Twilight and Rick Riordan books. I prefer reading in English but sometimes I have easier access to Finnish books and mythology is hard enough in my native language.
I know two or three Finnish bloggers but all of them blog in English, like I do. But there’s not really a community.
I wanted to reach more than the one person I knew that were a Finnish blogger. I don’t think she ever even visited my blog after following it.
There’s few things
- Writing some reviews in different language than I read them in
- I can’t go to any fun things like YALC
- Shipping is too much
- Can’t meet any authors or get special edition books
- Grammar
I order them online or sometimes I can even find some in my local bookstore but only paperbacks.
Meeting some very wonderful people with the same opinions I do. I also like talking with people with different taste because just because two people read the same book, it doesn’t mean that they had the same feelings about it.
Yes! I follow many international blogs but I think only one international Booktube but in my defense I only follow like five Booktubers all in all.
Not tagging anyone since I wasn’t tagged, but feel free to do it or comment some of your answers below.
I’m so glad you decided to do the tag! 💞
I love to know the struggles of other international bloggers as well, we all live different experiences, but it’s great that we can support each other 😊

I would say your grammar is better than mine, and I’m a native English speaker, so you’re good on that front. And I love that being part of this community means that I got to meet you ❤

Thanks ❤ That means a lot especially since I have difficulty writing things correctly and I always mess "in" and "on". I'm glad we met too (:
