I started my blog the second week of August this year. I had wanted to start a blog for a long time but I was always so busy. The reason I wanted to start a blog was because I saw this huge community of book bloggers and I want to be able to share my love of books with this community. I wanted to be able to review books and have people read my reviews and just enjoy things I put online. And I think that is what is happening.

My first piece of advide for new bloggers would be to join in on weekly meme’s. This help you to start posting regularly. It will also help get your blog out there. There are so many to participate in. I currently participate in Top 5 Wednesday, Top 10 Tuesday and I do my own Top 10 Sunday that anyone can join in on. There are so many more too.

My second piece of advice for new bloggers would be when writing a review include a photo of the book. A picture is a huge help on a book review, it means a thousand words. Also tweet the author of the book you have reviewed a link to your review because you never know they could see it and tweet out your review to their followers.
