Caroline, Jaqueline and Kim have nominated me for the Blogger Recognition Award, I’m so shocked! I’ve never been nominated before! Thank you. Go check out there websites for all things BOOKS AND REVIEWS!!! They are brilliant.
My blog has just turned ONE! It has been a brilliant year. I decided to set up a book blog as currently I am a stay at mother and at times I found it very lonely, tiring and boring. I started off by setting it up just for myself to keep me busy, keep track of all books and with the hope to find others with the same passion of reading and books like me. IT WORKED!!! Now I consider myself a part of the book blogging community and have made some brilliant friends along the way. It has given me something to look forward too each day and I have found those people I can talk books with (FINALLY). I do not know how I coped without my blog.
My first piece of advice:
Do it for yourself! Don’t expect to be a massive book blog or reviewer in a few weeks it doesn’t work like that… Take your time read what you like and enjoy writing reviews for yourself. Make it look pretty and all the little bits that makes it that little bit more. It will soon grow, remember nothing is secret on the internet! 🙂
My second piece of advice:
Use social media! If you want to grow your audience post your reviews in book groups/clubs there are so many out there. Pester authors and publishers for books, I know it sounds cheeky but sometimes it does work! Promise. Before I set up my blog I didn’t know anything about Twitter and now I love twitter. Immerse yourself into the online book/blogging/reviewing community. Netgalley also will be your best friend! Goodluck.
