Where you going, Jessica? ON A BLOG READING BINGE, THAT'S WHERE. And hoo boy, these bloggers are on fire right now.

Wednesday Wandering is just a fancy title for Jessica Infrequently Posting Entries She's LOVING. Because, reasons. Also, I feel like there's never enough love and appreciation coming from our little community.

(There's love, don't get me wrong, but I want to spread a little more.)

So, to catch you up to speed, here are some blog entries that I've been digging in the last week. This will not be only limited to book bloggers and may have a little lifestyle sprinkled in. Sometimes, I'll include other spotlights such as Instagram related stuff. As this is the first time I'm posting this, I'm mostly sticking to bookish related stuff.

• Over at TBR and Beyond: Mir's Trip to Bookcon 2019 and Haul from Bookcon 2019. I love seeing all the hauls and the experiences readers have during these types of events. It's fun to live vicariously through others! Plus, seeing people happy? BEAUTIFUL. 
• Confused on blogging terms? Well, Gayathri at Elgeewrites has you covered. All the things you wish you knew about blogging terms are covered during the ever helpful post Blogging Terms You Have to Know As a Book Blogger. Gayathri is very informative in sharing these things with her audience--it's great for beginners and seasoned bloggers! 
• Lately there's been a MASSIVE issue re: the discussion on bloggers copying other bloggers hard work. My personal favourite entry--coated in nothing but truth--is by Christine over at The Uncorked Librarian. No explanation needed. A total must-read on why Stealing Blog Content is NOT Flattery (Or Legal). 
• Kaleena over at Reader Voracious Blog helps bloggers ready themselves for when requesting ARCs from various authors or publishers. It's always important to have a coherent template and plan when reaching out about reviewing someone's books and her ARC Request Templates are fantastic and very similar to my own approach to things. Sending these sorts of emails can be very intimidating, fortunately you community has your back and is willing to help/share their tips or templates with you! 
• Having a perfection streak when it comes to fantastic entries, Beth at BooksNest has you covered with a variety of topics just from June alone. Staring with her blog series Face the Fear, where she interviews Suzanne Ludlum and discusses how she faced her fears. Another great entry at BooksNest is the LGBTQIA+ books to read during Pride Month (and every other month). 
• Okay, okay, fine this is a couple of months old BUT IT FELT WRONG NOT TO INCLUDE IT: Devon at Read by Dev recently explored the always beautiful Los Angeles by doing Your Guide to Shadowhunter's Los Angeles back in April and it was pure fire. You can find Part One and Part Two by clicking through. You know you want to. Thank me later. While you're there, be sure to check out her combination of literature and music, including her latest playlist for The Lunar Chronicles. 
• If you're looking for a sort of retrospective of an author's first year as a published author, look no further than Cait (aka C.G. Drews) at Paper Fury's 10 Things I Learned During My Debut Year (FT. Efficient Panicking Aw!!) because, duh. 
• Love unboxings? Amber at The Literary Phoenix gives us a glimpse at what was inside the May OwlCrate box. 
• Because I can't get enough of these posts--and Tanya has FANTASTIC taste in books--here's what upcoming releases Girl Plus Books is looking most forward to in the summer of 2019. 
• Destiny had a little discussion post over at Howling Libraries about ARC Bans. Which is a topic I definitely need to consider more often because thee are times where I go on request binges and then suddenly I have 55 books I need to read and review and EVERYTHING IS TOO MUCH and ouch my head. Also, it's just a great discussion! 
• Need some recommendations for Summerathon, the latest summer readathon hosted by several wonderful booktubers (Amy at a Court of Crowns and Quills, Melanie at Meltotheany, Heather at Bookables and Aimee at Aimee Reads)? Well, Jen over at Pinot and Pages has you covered and recently shared her TBR and recommendations.

• Loretta over at Laughing Listener made the amazing THE IDENTITY CRISIS tag which combines everyone's favourite things. An identity crisis, book quizzes and tags! Hoorah! 
• When I was catching up on Cornerfolds the other day, I spotted her using the Do I Have That Book? Tag which originated on Booktube by Keeping Tabs and has made its way into the book blogging world via Erica Robyn Reads. Which I OBVIOUSLY have to do. 
• Since Taylor Swift's new song is out and is basically my new feel good anthem slash morning jog song, I think it's worth mentioning the Wonderstruck Tag that Devon tagged me in a few weeks back. The tag was created by Olivia over at Purely Olivia back in January--and is a definite must-use tag for Taylor Swift fans in the reading community!

• Olivia at Hey Olivia Reads goes in on If YA Books Were on Wattpad. Enough said. 
• Zarriah at, well, Zarriah Rose (I almost typed Zarriah Rose at Zarriah Rose which feels suspiciously close to me attempting to chant Bloody Mary) talks her Witchathon TBR.
• My original Youtuber (aka the reason I stumbled upon Booktube in the first place, aka the actual Shadowhunters QUEEN) Emma talks about the books she read in May, gives us a look at her Book Expo and Bookcon haul, does the Do I Have That Book? tag and lays out a guide for how to read The Shadowhunter Chronicles. ALSO, her collab with Cindy has me rolling and you definitely need to watch this and I'm not just saying that because they're my two favourite Booktubers. But, like, they're my two of my favourite booktubers.
• Monica Kim talks Koreadathon!!!! 

• Smitten Kitchen revamps the Spaghetti With Cheese recipe from 2011 with Simplest Spaghetti al Limone. I just love cooking and especially love cooking pasta. It's a very standard and quick pasta you can leave as is or build on if you want to add something extra to give it a kick. So, so yummy. 
• Christine at Temptalia, aka my personal Beauty Bible, reviews and swatches Huda Beauty's Neon Orange Neon Obsessions Palette. AKA, hello bright colours.

• Isabella at Musings of a Muse reviews and swatches one of my most anticipated drugstore beauty releases of the year: Wet n Wild's Pac-Man (I know) collab. You can find her review and swatches of the High Score Blush Palette here. 
• IT'S SUMMER TIME. Which means iced coffees, smoothies and margaritas for me. And if you can legally drink, and choose to drink safely, join me! Because I'm totally trying this Spicy Watermelon Mezcal Margarita from Emma at A Beautiful Mess ASAP. While you're there, the recipes for Poppy Seed Dressing, The Best Vegan Sugar Cookie (and don't forget the Icing!), Red Pepper Vodka Sauce and Non-Dairy White Russian Cocktail. I've heard of A Beautiful Mess in passing but I've only recently (as in last month) begun diving into the recipes there. 
• If you like smoothies (I'm freaking addicted to them, especially since they sooth my allergy prone sore throat) here's 5 Healthy Smoothie Recipes from Katherine Hilton over at Glitter Guide. I'm totally trying the Dark Chocolate Cherry one tomorrow morning. I dislike peanut butter, though, so I'm probably going to skip that or see if almond butter will substitute well enough. 
• True Crime is basically my number one most watched topic on Youtube. I follow it really closely and admire the exposure cases get every day because of the True Crime community. Recently: Joshua Miles and Stephanie Harlowe collaborated on the solved The Monster of Great Falls Case, Stephanie Harlowe covers the McStay Family Murders via her Coffee and Crime Time series, Bailey Sarian discusses the chilling Cassie Jo Stoddart Case/The Scream Killers, Samantha M explores the solved case of Matthew Fisher Turner and Danelle Hallan tackles The Tragic Story of Little Gabriel/Underground Adoption.
