I wasn’t tagged by anyone but saw Destiny had done this tag so decided to do, go check out Howling Libraries,you won’t regret it!
This tag was originally for booktubers but was adapted for bloggers by Heather.
Questions……
1. How old is your blog?
I actually started my blog in 2015 but predominantly posted PR companies material about cover reveals, releases etc for romance books until I moved that to my Facebook page as I wanted my website to be my ‘own voice’.
2. What are your favorite posts to make?
I really like creating the next month’s releases that I want. I comb through Goodreads lists, Bookbirds list and several romance blogs and marvel at all the books I want!!!!
3. What is one piece of advice you would give to someone wanting to start a book blog?
4. Since joining have you run into any unforeseen challenges?
No, not really. Maybe the WordPress new editor will be a challenge…..but I know it’s coming 😂😂
5. What is a favorite book/series you’ve read because of blogging?
Anything Sarah J Maas. I read her ToG and ACO series late and kicked myself in the bum that I didn’t read earlier!
6. Overall, what is your favorite aspect about book blogging?
I love reading people’s comments on my posts and love reading other bloggers posts and commenting. I put aside an hour every evening to do this and it’s normally the most interesting, relaxing hour of my day!
I won’t tag anyone but feel free to join in!
I saw this somewhere, I don’t even think it was a tag but me being me, didn’t write down where I saw it. Originator, if you are reading this please know I am very sorry!
But I loved the sound of it.
It’s called the ‘On my shelf’ tag.
You count the number of books on your shelf, say 50 and then ask people to give you a random number between 1 and 50.
Then once the number is chosen, count along until you get to that number and write about the book. Why did you buy it? Does it mean anything to you?
So here we go……..
I have 70 books on my Goodreads tbr shelf.
In August I tried to read all my Fairyloot books that I had backed up. I didn’t call it a reading list but I guess it really was!
And I did really well! I guess sometimes I just need some structure to my reading month!
So I thought if it worked in August, it might work in September!
I plan on reading the 4 books off my Netgalley shelf so then I can try and keep it all up to date going forward (yeah, good luck with that future me!) and I’ve snuck in a new release that I cant wait to read!
Anyway, these are the books:
Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar
Netgalley Shelf
Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron
Of the Blood by Cameo Renae
These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong
What books do you want to read in September?
