There are more than 20 book blogs operating in Slovenia, and all of them strive to bring the book closer to readers and ignite a spark of interest in those who have not read before. Because they also want to appeal to young people, book bloggers use new online platforms such as YouTube and Instagram, as they make it easier to establish contact and influence people's reading habits. In the world of "influencers", who are mainly represented in the beauty and fashion industry, it would be high time that book bloggers, who enrich the mind and spirit with their work, also deserve their place among them.

Miss book
The blog has been alive since 2011, when Nina Prešern started writing a book blog, then called Bralnica.si. Today, Nina has a series of vivid impressions of quality literature. In the Berem sebi column, she writes about the books she reads by her own choice, and occasionally also because of the nature of her work (professor of Slovenian), while the Berem sinku column highlights high-quality children's picture books that convince with their content and artistic image.

Bookshelf
Behind the blog Knjižna polička is a 19-year-old woman who loves to read (even if someone says that young people only know how to stare at their phones). She decided to feature books on her blog and give her opinion on what is worth reading and what is not. Otherwise, you will not only find books on her blog, but also other interesting content.

Contexts
The Konteksti blog is created by Tomaž Bešter, another book and reading enthusiast, so it is no wonder that he found his job in the Slovenian temple of literature - NUK. On his blog, he regularly publishes contributions with presentations of Slovenian and foreign books, and is also the author of numerous professional contributions from the library profession. In 2017, he received the Čop award (the highest national award for outstanding achievements in the field of librarianship that are of wider social importance) for his active contribution to the development of library activity.

A literary pharmacy
On the Literarna lekarna blog, you will find many suggestions and reading tips for you and your children, as well as some information about the importance of this skill and the ability to read. Alenka Štrukelj fell in love with books as a child, which enriched her entire life. This is also the reason why today she herself inspires people, especially children and their parents, to pick up a book and read.
