Great idea! Click on the link at the bottom to find out more.
  1. When did you start your blog? - 18th October, seems like l have been doing it forever though as l can't remember not ever having my blog to express how l felt about a book.
  2. Why did you start your blog? - I wanted to help people find new books which they would enjoy and also a place to talk to people with the same sort of tastes in books. I also love writing reviews and thought it would be great to be able to see what other people think of my reviews or what they thought of the book.
  3. What has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far? - Making sure l include everything which people want to read about. This is so important to me and l want to make the blog as fun as possible to read. I also really struggled with English at school (my grammar) and l find reading and writing helps me so much to develop (l am English l am just terrible at writing it)
  4. What do you find most discouraging about being a new blogger? - Getting your blog acknowledged, there are so many great blogs out there it's hard to make sure your blog is as fun to read so that people want to keep looking back at your blog.
  5. What do you find most encouraging? - Helping people find new books and hearing they enjoyed them! This really has become a passion of mine.
  6. What do you like best about the blogs you read? Have you tried to replicate this in your blog? - I did exactly that, l follow some amazing blogs and looked at what l liked in them, for example listing new books which are due out. When l then looked at these blogs l compared them to blogs which l wasn't so attracted to. It is such a split second judgement because there are so many to choose from.
  7. What do you dislike about blogs you’ve read? Do you try to avoid this? - Having too many things crowded at the side, l tried to avoid this but there is always a lot to list.
  8. Any advice for other new bloggers? - Keep at it, its great fun
  9. Anything else you’d like to share about your experience? - Blogging is great fun and a great way to express your love for the books you read and help people find new books.
  10. Is there anything you’d like to tell us about your blog? - Please let me know of any recommendations to do with my blog or new books. l love receiving them as it's because of a lot of recommendations l find new books and authors.

  8. I totally understand the grammer thing. I can proof read other peoples stuff really well, but can't for the life of me catch my mistakes!!! My mind auto corrects to quickly!!! Blogging has been a nice way of working on catching MY typo's (which still happen, but I eventually catch them)!

    Also, I see what you're saying about the sidebar. I don't like clutter like that, either!
