Sorry for a bit late of a post today, but I’m doing a super awesome, Favorite Part of Blogging Collab, started by Shania! I’m so excited to have the opportunity to take part! I’ll mention everyone who took part at the end, so make sure you check it out 🙂
This question is really, really hard for me to answer because honestly, I love pretty much everything about blogging. It’s one of my favorite past times, and I do it way too much to be good for me. But if I have to pick one thing, here it goes.
The Best Part of Blogging…
This is going to sound really cliche, but my favorite part of blogging is interacting with other bloggers, especially book bloggers, and getting the chance to see what books they’re interested in, and what’s going on in their lives in general. When I first started this blog, I genuinely didn’t think there were that many people who loved reading as much as I did, and now that perspective has completely changed. Plus, if you look at some of my first posts (that was a rhetorical comment please don’t actually look) I have ZERO personality. It’s like I’m writing a paper for school. It was only after reading other amazing blogs and getting to talk to so many bloggers that I realized that it’s okay to share my personality and have more fun with it.
So I guess that’s two things. I’m in it for the book recommendations, and getting to know everyone’s personality (which has helped me feel comfortable in my own). Just talking with everyone has honestly changed my life soooooo much, and I’ll be forever grateful for that. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to stop blogging, and that’s just because it makes me so happy to read everyone else’s posts when they’re so filled with great information, humor, and real life drama that makes me feel so connected to everyone around me. This is getting vaguely emotional, so I’m going to tone it down.
Some other Secondary Reasons to Blog…
- Free books before they even come out!
- Awesomely amazing friends
- People actually read what you write
- If you get big enough (unlike me) you might be able to make some money
- More great friends and memories
Don’t Forget Everyone Else…
I’m sure I’m missing something, but I can’t think of what right now so we’ll leave it at that. I want to give a huge shoutout not only to Shania, but to all of the bloggers who are participating in this collab! Make sure to read their posts, give them a follow, or at least like the post and leave a nice comment.
