MDMRNSo, I was tagged on Intagram by facetious_manga to talk about my "Bookstagram Backstory." I don't know if a Pixelfed equivalent exists. Bookselfed? Pixelbook? I don't know, I'll use both hashtags and share.<br>
<br>
Regardless. Let's go, I guess.<br>
<br>
When did I start on Bookstagram?<br>
This account is and remains a personal account. While I post (often), about manga, this isn't exclusively about books or manga. My first post was in April 2016. Wow...that's a long time ago. I started getting more active in posting about books / manga, participating in things like "25 Days of Manga" in 2020. But it was early 2023 when I started posting a lot more manga pics / reviews.<br>

What inspired your username?<br>
I started on Twitter and needed a small handle. MD - I'm from Maryland, MRN - My initials. 83 - I'm old.<br>
<br>
What was your 1st review?<br>
The first "review" I posted was saying that the Free Comic Book Day 2016 Firefly comic was good. It got more detailed in my reviews after that.<br>
<br>
Favorite part of Bookstagram?<br>
The community. So may good folks to talk, discuss, and share.<br>
<br>
Booksta made me buy?<br>
My Lovesick Life as a 90s Otaku. I couldn't NOT get it, the reviews were just too much and I was not disappointed.<br>
<br>
Aesthetic?<br>
Middle aged nerdy, bearded Dad-core? I really have no idea.<br>
