Story of My blog:

Since I was a kid I loved reading. I always had a book in my hands and always tried to figure a way for my parents to buy me new books. As I grew older, my closest friends weren’t into reading that much so it was hard to exchange and talk about what book I read, or which one had me waaaaay longer than I should up at night. So no big surprise here guys, I created this blog to be able to share and exchange opinions and recommendations on the books I read. This new hobbies also allows me to do another of my passions, writing.

I have found a community with wonderful people, who love reading as much as I do, and who doesn’t mind talking and talking (and talking!) about books 🙂

Though I must confess that I sometimes feel overwhelmed about how big the book blogging community is, and sometimes a bit lost too.

My advice:

I still consider myself as a beginner, but if I had to give a piece of advice to new bloggers it would be for them to be themselves. Don’t try to read or do what other bloggers are doing to try to gain more followers or be noticed. That never works! This way you will stop enjoying what you do, and people will notice too.

I will also tell you not to be afraid to interact with others. I know is hard to make the first contact, maybe because of fear that people will dislike or criticize you, but I have never encounter that. We are all here because we love books!
