Welcome to The Bloom Stack!
It’s good to have you here.
The Bloom Stack is a UK-based book blog that launched in August 2020. After a struggling first half of 2020, the blog was created to spread the joy of books and share titles that help us ‘bloom’ when life gets tough.
The site was founded by Molly and Emma – two friends with a passion for all things bookish. Throughout the first half of 2020, we experienced challenges that led to the creation of The Bloom Stack.
In March 2020, Molly was put onto medication to help with her extreme anxiety and panic attacks. She had suffered with her mental health for a while and this was not helped by the difficulty of not getting a job in her chosen field of publishing after graduating from University.
In April 2020 at the age of 25, Emma was diagnosed with an aggressive type of thyroid cancer. A week after her diagnosis, she had a 7-hour surgery to remove the cancerous cells. Her treatment will continue for the foreseeable future.
Books were our go-to remedy throughout these struggles. Rather than be pulled down by the darkness that 2020 had to offer, we wanted to channel our energy into a creative project that focused on the positivity that reading brought, and continues to bring, to our lives.
From can’t put down YA thrillers to swoon-worthy millennial romances with a few classics scattered here and there, we cover multiple genres on The Bloom Stack. Our reading tastes are diverse and eclectic but the one thing that all these books have in common is they continue to bring light, comfort and happiness into our lives at a time when we need it most.
