Feature & Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Alison Can Read and Parajunkee. Every week there is a featured blog and a fun question to answer, so head on over to join in!Qu: What drove you to start book blogging in the first place?
I suppose I should start by saying that before this blog, I had been blogging for years. My very first blog was named The Mouse Hole (good name, eh? sort-of ironic considering mice creep me out!) where I posted about my life. But then after years of just having personal blogs, I started getting bored. My life just wasn't that interesting to write about. Around that same time, one of my friends started a book blog. I instantly loved the idea and it just seemed the perfect type of blog for me since I'd always loved books. And I suppose you can all guess the rest! ;)What about you?
Happy Reading,
Rachel xoxo
PS: If you follow me, thank you SO much. I'll return the favour - promise! ^.^
Mice creep me out too. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteI am now following you. :)
I've been blogging about my life as well, but I often felt like my life was too private to post about. I ended up blogging all the personal blogs I started.

Hehe your answer reminded me of when I was little. I would buy pretty-looking diaries all the time and every time I got a new one I'd say to myself, "I'm going to write in this diary every single day for the rest of my life..." Two weeks later, that thought turned into, "What the heck am I suppose to write about? I'm 10!" Hehe never picked it back up. The great thing about blogging is that people talk back so you can never really get bored :) Great answer! New follower! (Sorry I rambled! I'm a mess!)

I think it's harder to keep a personal blog, unless you travel somewhere new like every few days. on the plus side, we get free books :P
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping by, new follower :D
Omg, Mice creep me out too! My hatred is near to being a phobia... Once I saw a dead one on the road and I actually got tears in my eyes and had to turn home... Don't judge me! :P
ReplyDeletePersonal blogs sound so fun to write, but I'm glad you turned to the book blogging world so that you can write these amazing posts that I love reading. :D
Great answer, Rachel!<3
Great answer I try to write about myself but it's not that interesting! Books are pretty much like my life so it's the same!

ReplyDeleteGreat answer too, more interesting than mine by far.
OMG! That is too funny. I had a personal blog as well and then thought to myself that watching paint dry was more entertaining than my life. I think I am more comfortable in the realm of book blogging.

WOW! I love the colour combo of your blog and the design. Very pretty New follower from the FF Social Hop. :)
ReplyDeleteI had a personal blog, too, but it was so bad and I never posted, so I gave it up and started my current writing blog. It's kind of hard to believe that that had been months ago. Anyways, great answer and your blog layout looks really cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, I followed you back. ^.^

ReplyDeleteBlogging has definitely changed the way I read ~ I take notes, read more often, and read different books that I probably would have never even heard of otherwise... It's awesome!!
Happy Reading :)
I had planned to talk about more personal stuff about college, but I haven't yet. I'm not sure if I'll try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I am now following you back!
The Mouse Hole. That sounds so cute!

PS. I'm starting Bookhi up again soon, just to let you know :)
I think The Mouse Hole was a cute name (though I don't really care for mice either). Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could blog about my personal life! It'd be boring. There's never a dull moment to discuss with books! I'm returning the follow. Thanks for stopping by!
