A few weeks ago, we published our list of the 50 best book people to follow on Twitter. Of course, readers had plenty of their own suggestions to add to the list -- so many, in fact, that we decided to put together a second list of the bookish Twitterers that HuffPost readers love to follow. Check out the list below and discover some new authors and book lovers to follow, and feel free to suggest your own additions in the comments below!
