TGIF is a weekly meme hosted every Friday at GReads, asking reading/book-related questions which are fun to answer. This week's question is:
A Book Blogger is Born: What made you decide to start your very own book blog?
In truth, I started a book blog because I saw the wisdom of having your reviews stored in more than one place. Then it was a nice to thing to have if you were requesting books on NetGalley (so yes, I am one of THOSE PEOPLE, haha). But then I decided I didn't care about ARCs and stuff like that and just wanted a place to hang out, put my reviews, and write things that don't necessarily fit into my other book-sharing spaces, like GoodReads.
So the reasons I became and still keep my blog change all the time as I change. Right now, it is my book diary, and a place to store all the bookish ramblings in my head. And who knows, that might also change, but for now, it is my favorite incarnation.

Is Netgalley not the best? I agree, I am not so worried about ARCs, I just want to read and review and talk to people about books.
ReplyDeleteChange is good! My blog didn't start out as a book blog, but like you said, that's what it is now, and who knows where it might go in the future - although I think books will always be a part of it somehow.
ReplyDeleteARCs and giveaways, etc didn't really matter to me either. I just like having my reviews somewhere where I can go back and read them :) Great last sentence, too!
