We’re celebrating 17 years of BookSparks! 17 years of iconic reads, amazing community vibes, and sooo much bookish fun. Since we were founded in 2009, we’re throwing it all the way back—think playlists on the just-released iPhone, dog-eared paperbacks in your tote, and staying up way too late to finish “just one more chapter.” To celebrate, we’ve rounded up some major 2009 nostalgia AND we’re spilling the tea on our team at 17—their fave books, core memories, trends they were obsessed with, and all the throwback feels. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just found us, thank you for being part of BookSparks. You make this story what it is.
