TGIF is  a Friday meme hosted by Ginger at Greads. She always has the best questions.


Today’s Question:

Book Blogger Pride: What do you take pride in when it comes to blogging?

Answer:

The friends I’ve made and the skills I’ve learned are the things I take most pride in when it comes to blogging.

I’ve come to love many bloggers. I can’t think of something that I’d rather do than spend hours debating, discussing, disagreeing with @basicallybooks about politics and religion. We can argue for hours and still I adore her wholeheartedly. And then reading all the contemp recs she sends my way. I can find random links after class that make me smile from @isabooksoulmate. I can randomly talk with hundreds of people and even if we are completely different we have one common thread. Our love for books makes us cohesive when the rest of world would like to pull everyone apart.

I have learned SO many marketable skills from blogging. PR, graphic design, coding, marketing, professional communication, organization, and so many other things. I cherish learning everything I have from blogging. These skills are ones that will help me in a world where technology and information is in high demand. Plus, I just love learning stuff!

  1. You're so right about eventually learning tons of skills from blogging - and you never know where or when those skills will come in handy!

  2. I agree! The skill set you can take away from book blogging, especially as you learn and grow and improve, is something you can actually utilize in real life. And of course, interacting with book blogger friends is always a major bonus in my book! No one understands my love for books as much as book bloggers do :)
