15 Day Book Blogger Challenge: Day 15

Day #15: Who are your book blogging mentors? Any blog that I read, I keep an eye out for what I like and don’t like – and if I like something, I see how I can implement that aspect on my own blog. However, I will say that I love Chuck Wendig’s advice on blogging […]

15 Day Book Blogger Challenge: Day 10

Day #10: How do you choose what book to read next? The short answer: This process varies. The long answer: It depends on what mood I’m in. Usually, I choose to read a book that I had already started but put away for some reason. I have started so many books only to set them […]

15 Day Book Blogger Challenge: Day 9

Day #9: Why do you blog about books? Books have always been a significant part of my life. I was raised with books; stories provided fodder for my childhood imagination.
