(I don't read as much as I used to so keeping a book blog isn't right for me anymore-- though I do sometimes post short reviews/thoughts on my current blog!) I agree that it's really good for authors-- word of mouth is probably one of the best ways to advertise a book, especially if the author is new or relatively unknown. <br /><br />Aside from being able to share my writing and thoughts, one of my favorite things about blogging (generally) is the networking. You meet so many awesome people-- I love connecting both face-to-face and in writing, so it's fun for me to have wide access to all the amazing people out there!Junehttp://now.wherewerewe.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825931548219116513.post-9349653809721409792012-04-02T22:35:36.089-04:002012-04-02T22:35:36.089-04:00there are a lot of book bloggers out there which i...there are a lot of book bloggers out there which is good for the author bloggers. I could never book blog because I read too slow. But I love blogging because it gets some of my writing out there.<br /><br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://psalmsunday.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> A Few Words </a><br />An A to Z Co-host blogArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825931548219116513.post-46826419265496798572012-04-02T19:29:35.425-04:002012-04-02T19:29:35.425-04:00A great list.

(Although last year I was so exhausted after 26 days, I didn't blog for almost a month. this year I am more preparted.)<br />Sometimes it is as much fun to read about books as it is to actually read books. I like your blog setup.<br /><br /><a href="http://gail-baugniet.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://gail-baugniet.blogspot.com Theme: A World of Crime</a>Gail M Baugniet - Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543343067963247963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825931548219116513.post-74973472177549949512012-04-02T18:22:16.336-04:002012-04-02T18:22:16.336-04:00It *is* fun to review books on a blog.

But it turned more in to reading outside of my comfort zone and, more importantly, keeping track of what I have read! I came across GoodReads - and they had the BookSwap at the time... a perfect way to get new books! One day I will make it through all of the books that I got from that!Kate Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04342220424771084070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825931548219116513.post-40458561572319086522012-04-02T02:23:00.376-04:002012-04-02T02:23:00.376-04:00Aww..and we love hearing your opinions and chattin...Aww..and we love hearing your opinions and chatting about books with you too :)Kimberly @ Caffeinated Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658833731713991138noreply@blogger.com
