Top Ten Tuesday : Reasons I Love Book Blogging

-
Today's Top Ten Tuesday, when I saw it , I thought this could be easy but then it proved to be a tad difficult, so Ive added a couple of reasons about Book Blogging on other sites.

  1. The Opportunities that arise from Book Blogging - An editor of an online magazine saw my site and asked me if I would write the book review column on their site. I've been asked to write guest blog topics , a monthly book related blog which you can see in my Literary Musings as part of an Australian online bookstore etc
  2. The free books - I am such a huge reader and it is amazing the amount of books that one is sent to review and all your favourite authors as well .
  3. The networking with authors/publishers/editors etc - The amount of networking that comes out of book blogging is amazing , since Ive started my facebook page went to the 5000 friend limit and I had to open a second page thats at about 200.
  4. Meeting other book bloggers - I love talking and emailing with other book bloggers and you can soon start to strike up online friendships.
  5. Following other book blogs - theres such an amazing array of book blogs to join that I try and join at least 20 new ones a week.
  6. Discovery of New Books - Seeing in Google reader, the list of new books that people are reviewing or have recieved in their mailboxes - ones that you add to your never-ending TBR Piles .
  7. The different memes that are availiable , they are fun and build up your blogging profile.
  8. The recognition and emails as being in New Zealand, I can't really go to all these events and Ive had people email me to review their books as my name has been passed around at conventions , word of mouth etc.
  9. Followers - The joy of having new followers, I dont know about you but everytime I see a new follower it perks me up :)
  10. Lastly, the joy of writing and sharing the awesome books I have read with the world.
PS: That actually turned out easier than I thought :)

    New followers make me happy too! Your list is great and really insightful as to why it's great being a book blogger. There's definitely a joy in talking about books with other people who have similar tastes as you and even fun getting into discussions with people who don't.

    Great list! I love the opportunity to "meet" so many people I would've never had the chance to "meet" otherwise.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
