"The Book Blogger Hop is much more than just a “follow for a follow”. It’s about making friends. There are literally thousands of book bloggers around the world. It can seem like we are blogging in a bubble, constantly checking the same blogs over and over again. The Hop is about taking the time to make a quality visit to another blog, getting to know the person who is writing that blog, and seeing if you really *want* to follow that person
1. How did you find out about book blogging and what made you decide to start one yourself?
I love books, I love to read, and I love giving people recommendations on what to read. One day, this past May, my friend and coworker told me that I should start a book blog. I hemmed and hawed and said no. Then she gently suggested it again and I said, "fine". So I went to blogger, set up my account and then...did nothing. Then, last month, I decided to plunge in. I wrote a few reviews, joined twitter (against my better judgement as I am now addicted), did a few blog hops and here I am today! I love it! I love the blogging community and I am having such fun with this. So now I get to say it - I hope you're listening, Krystal! - You were right.
I'm glad you started - it's a great outlet for book lovers. What has been your favorite part about being a book blogger so far?

My favorite part has been the conversations/comments that have come from some of the posts and blog hops I've done. I really love hearing from all these bloggers - they are the most wonderful group of people I've "met". :)
DeleteHahahaa. I'm always right! (Okay, maybe not ALWAYS, but a lot. I'm right a lot.) I'm so glad you started this!
ReplyDeleteI said it once, I'm not saying it again! LOL
DeleteSo glad you took the plunge...you won't regret. And...you will feel an empty spot in your life if you do. It is such fun and the best part is meeting all the other wonderful, helpful bloggers.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS for stopping by my blog. Have a fun hop and a great weekend.

Thank you! I agree - the bloggers are such a wonderful community. Love them all!
DeleteSo glad you decided to follow Krystal's advice. I don't know how I found your blog, probably you visited one of my blogs and left a comment, anyway, I'm glad I found you. I enjoy your blog, and I just noticed your review about the Fake Romance, another book for my TBR pile. Maybe I shouldn't visit, then my wishlist wouldn't get quite as long. Love your review and blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! My Fake Romance was so sweet. I really enjoyed it. It would make a good "it's snowing outside and I don't want to do anything but stay inside and read" book. So maybe you can read it this winter!
