Q: What drove you to start blogging in the first place?
A: I needed an outlet for all my bookish thoughts. For awhile I tried getting my mom to read all the books I read so we could talk about them, but she wasn't keeping up haha. I had too many book thoughts and no where to share. I had no idea there was even a book blogging community when I started. Now Reading Kelly is like a diary of my books with the occasional travel post thrown in and I love it.
Why did you start blogging? Leave me a comment and let me know!
I ended up keeping mine for that reason as well! I love reading and needed someone to talk to about them!

I started blogging a long time ago as an outlet to try and get through high school! I had just random blogs before and never had anything really stick until I started a book blog. I love the book blogging community and it's great having an outlet to talk about books. No one but one of my fellow blogging friends loves books as much as I do so I love being able to talk about books all the time without being told to shut up!

I love having a supportive community. Some of my friends and family get tired of my talking books all the time.
DeleteGreat answer! I really love to put my thoughts down about the books I read. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for stopping by! My parents and friends are not very bookish either and I need someone to fangirl about hot male characters with!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and following. Old follower via GFC. My mom was the only person I knew who could read as much as me. But I agree- that's one of the great things about blogging. Meeting people who love books so much they not only read books, they want to share their thoughts about books. Until I started blogging, I didn't have an appreciation for how much time people spent writing detailed reviews. But I do now.
ReplyDeleteIt's always awesome when you love your blog. I've been through some phases where I hated blogging but still forced myself to and that was just awful.
ReplyDeleteFollowed back via GFC!
I know what you mean about having lots of thoughts about books! :)
ReplyDeleteHa! I am the same with my mom! :-) Whatever the reason, I am glad everyone started blogging! It is a great community and I love meeting new people. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow, and I am a new follower via email.
Great answer! I feel the same way. I always want my friends/sister/husband to hurry up and read a book so we can discuss it and dissect every part of it, but they don't always keep up and are often reading their own books (i don't understand that - they should just read what i recommend ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow! I'm following you back :)
