This post is where I combine 3 different Friday bookish blog hops and the questions posed by each. I just couldn't leave any out!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: Summer Break is upon us! What would be the perfect vacation spot for you to catch up on your reading & relax?
Right here:
Ok...I actually counted and the answer is........ 140! That's just my TBR shelf. I don't usually keep very many books after I read them. I have maybe 25-30 keepers and that includes past Bible studies, a few self-help books, etc.
Well. I think I could say that I started my blog as a creative outlet. In the Fall of 2009 (I think), my youngest was 1, my husband works swing-shift and it seemed like none of my adult friends had the same interest in talking books, quilts etc. So, I started my blog as a place to "talk" to others about the same interests that I have.
A side reason would have been to keep track of my reading and crafts. I used to keep a notebook with all that I read and projects I had completed. A blog makes it MUCH easier to go back and search for a certain recipe or event.

Q. "How many books do you own? This can include books in your to-be-read (TBR) pile(s) and books you have already read that are on your keeper shelf."

Q. "A Book Blogger is Born: What made you decide to start your very own book blog?"

1. I would like to be sitting on that bench reading a book RIGHT NOW!
ReplyDelete2. I am also pretty good at purging books I've read and don't plan on revisiting, which seems to be rare in the book blogging world.
3. I also like the community that comes with blogging and the fact that it is a lot easier to keep track of what I read this way!
Agreed. That's lovely. I'd love to go read a book there.
ReplyDeleteMy follow friday. Please visit!
1. I would love to vacation in the mountains and sit on the porch of a nice cabin with my book.
ReplyDelete2. As you saw by my blog - I have at least 500 books.
3. I decided to start my blog so I could have a place to review books and recommend them to other people
I love that blogs are such an easy way to connect with people that have the same interests as you! So glad you started yours :)
