This month’s feature:
Why did you start your blog?
I've always loved to read, and I've always LOVED discussing books with people! But at school, none of my friends was wanted to discuss books, the plot and character development, the way the author set up that chapter, or any specifics of a book. Basically, I was the only one who thought more about a book than what was above the surface!
And then, I stumbled upon two “book blogs”: Pure Imagination and The Story Siren. They are both amazing blogs, and when I looked into them I saw these things called In My Mailbox, where they showed books PUBLISHERS sent them to review BEFORE the book came out in exchange for their review. Their reviews discussed plot and all that jazz, and commenters replied on what THEY thought! I was like: Where has this BEEN all my life. And so, I started blogging.
What is your favorite part of blogging?
Connecting with other authors and bloggers! Twitter is probably the best way to connect! But ever since I started blogging, my relationship with authors has become more professional than fan-related! I interact with them for interviews, guest posts, stuff like that, and also joke around with them and see them in a different light. They aren't just “that author” that wrote “that really good book.” They're real people who laugh and tell jokes, and it's been a real treat to connect with them!
I've also enjoyed getting to know the bloggers that are pros! Melina from Reading Vacation, Lori from Pure Imagination, Pam from Bookalicious, Kristi from the Story Siren, Hafsah from IceyBooks, and Gabbi from BookBreather are all equally amazing book bloggers that are funny and so awesome! I love each and every one of them and have loved sharing books, connecting with them, and sharing thoughts about BOOKS!
What book is your current obsession? (The one that you're so in love with at the moment)
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin! Oh my gosh! That book is so stinkin' amazing! I love it with all my heart! The suspense and creepiness is on high, the romance is steamy, and the pacing is flawless! Characters are strong and funny, and the ending is just WOW! I love everything about the book! Read it. PLEASE!
What do you when you aren't blogging or reading?
I'm usually hanging out with friends, writing (I've written two books!), doing homework (my grades matter), or hanging out with my family!
Great reviews over at Reading, Writing, Breathing.

This is a great feature and I'll definitely check out the featured blog!
ReplyDeleteI have just over 200 followers on mine so I can't be included, but I think it's really cool that you're putting the spotlight on the ones that ARE really fabulous, but not everyone knows it yet.
Thanks, I enjoy finding all these newer smaller bloggers. They often have such fresh content.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post. I love finding new great blogs too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea for a feature!
ReplyDeleteRWB is a little known blog ? Really ? I love his blog and was sure more people knew about it. I agree with what you said about being able to connect on Twitter and get to know other readers.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Mara Dyer now, I hope I enjoy it as much as he did.
Yep, isn't it surprising which blogs have low numbers, but he's relatively new to the scene I anticipate he'll have a ton of followers.
