Alison Can Read. It's a great way to meet other book bloggers!
This week's question is:
What do you hope to accomplish with your blog? Is it to one day become an author yourself, just for fun, maybe get some online attention, or maybe something very different?
Blogging is something that we do for fun. We didn't really have anyone besides ourselves to discuss books with. Some of our family members were rather tired of hearing our nonstop book chatter, so we thought that we'd start a book blog to meet others who are as obsessed with reading as we are and who don't mind talking about books all the time. The blog has given us the perfect outlet to share our love of books, and even though running it is a job in itself at times, we're extremely glad that we decided to start it.
If you're a new follower, be sure to let us know so that we can follow you back. Thanks for stopping by!
I think book blogging has turned my previously mildly frightening book obsession into a shared experience- it always helps to know we aren't alone!
ReplyDeleteI'm an old follower!
Definitely! We were so happy to find others who felt the same way that we did about books!
DeleteGreat answer! Isn't fun the best thing to have? :D Old follower. My FFs are at Musings on Fantasia and LKHill. Happy Friday!:D
ReplyDeleteIt most certainly is, and it is so much fun getting to gush about my favorite books all the time!
DeleteGood answer and I love that you guys blog together!
ReplyDeleteAlly and I are the biggest book nerds in the family, so it just seemed natural to start a blog together.
DeleteHopping through. There are many reasons I blog, but ultimately it's to have fun. That's most important.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
I completely agree- if it isn't fun, then it's really not worth doing.
DeleteI love the answer! It's so great to meet others who share the same interests in reading.

Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteIt's actually the same for me :) !!
ReplyDeleteI think there are a lot of us who took to blogging because we didn't have many other people to chat about books with.
DeleteThat is the very reason I started blogging, so I could talk to someone other than myself, about books.
ReplyDeleteHere's my FF.
Happy Friday!

If we hadn't started the blog, Ally and I would still only be talking about books among ourselves.
DeleteYes, book blogging is definitely what I'd call a healthy and productive outlet for all the book talk in the world :)

I'd be so lost without the blog; it's become a haven where I can lose myself in nothing but book talk for a while.
DeleteFollowing you back . . thanks for visiting me :-)

I also started the blog because I need to give my family a rest from my chating about books:)
Ruty@ Reading...Dreaming
Our family is very happy that we've found other people to discuss books with; they think we're a little too obsessed. :)
DeleteThanks for following!
I just love the look or I should say the art on your blog. Did you guys draw it yourself? Thanks for stopping by my FF!

Ally drew everything from scratch, then I added the color in Photoshop. She definitely had the toughest job!
DeleteThanks for following!
Great answer! You're so right, it's the BEST way to meet other book-addicts :) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a new follower, but this is my very 1st F&FF
Micheline @ Lunar Rainbows
Meeting other book addicts is definitely the best thing about blogging!
DeleteThanks very much for visiting and following me, I have returned the favour.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel, by the way - plenty of people I know get tired of hearing me harp on about books. A blog is a nice way to get all those thoughts off our chest!
Yes it is, especially when a character gets on your nerves and you need to rant, or something unbelievable just happened in a book and you just have to share it with someone.
DeleteThanks for following!
I love talking books with other bloggers as well. No one in my family reads like I do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, returning the follow :)
I could go on about books forever, so it's great having a place where I can do just that!
DeleteThanks for following!
I am a new follower via twitter and GFC!
ReplyDeleteI love making new friends and getting to know other bloggers!
Thanks for following! Heading over to your blog now!
DeleteYou girls are so lucky you have each other to talk to about books! I have to troll the internet for bookish freaks likes myself, but I'm so glad I've found each and every one you! The highlight of my week is getting to talk books with bloggers!
ReplyDeleteGolden Oldie follower, but I followed via Linky, too!
Thanks for stopping by beautiful Girls! =D
Bookish freaks are always welcome here! We've got to stick together!
DeleteI think I drive a ton of my friends and family crazy talking about all the books I read. Since I started my blog, though, I don't talk about books ALL the time :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my Friday Hop
When we're among family, we try to save the book talk for when we go on our after dinner walk, but sometimes we can't help ourselves and still try to steer the conversation at the dinner table towards books.
DeleteI can't count how many eye rolls I received when I wanted to talk about certain books that I love so much.
ReplyDeleteMy FF
We've gotten a lot of eye rolls, too, as well as exasperated sighs.
DeleteAwesome answer :)

DeleteNew follower, same hear my poor hubby didn't give a flip about Bella and Jacob so the internet saved me from driving my hubby crazy. Hoping through click on my name to see my FF.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky because two of my cousins were as obsessed with Twilight as I was. Everybody else in the family thought that we were nuts, though.
DeleteThanks for following!
Great answer, and thanks for stopping by the blog. Returning the follow :)

DeleteRunning a book blog definitely feels like a job sometimes! With the amount of work that's put into it. Sometimes it interferes with my actual job haha.
ReplyDeleteNice answer :)
I try to stay organized so that things run a little more smoothly, but it doesn't always work out.
