5/17/2022 How long have you been blogging? And has your blog changed over time?
I have been blogging since December 2008! I was bored, came across bookblogs and was all omg you can do this?! It took a while to get going, and to find a bigger community. And that is really what changed things, the community of likeminded people.
And no, I mean yes the look has changed, but other than that I still ramble on as I always did. I tried to shake things up at times, but that is not me. In the olden days I had more guest posts from authors and giveaways, but damn that takes work! Now I just focus on reading.
5/24/2022 Do you review every book you read? Why or why not?

Man! I would have to look up when I first started. Mine is technically blog 2.
ReplyDeleteI had a livejournal once, but that was not a bookblog
DeleteI look back to when I did a few giveaways and even *gasp* author interviews as well. Good times! But yeah they can be a lotta work...
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way when I discovered book blogs were a thing :)
So much work, and i remember I used to do so many!
DeleteI've enjoyed your blog for years. Keep sharing about those books. :)
ReplyDeleteAww thank you
DeleteThat's a long time. Congrats. I've always enjoyed your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
DeleteI love your style and you don't need to change! I agree, the giveaways and such are a lot of work. I remember I used to give books away each month - paid for postage from my own pocket. NO THANKS! Not any longer.
ReplyDeleteI know, those were the days. SO many giveaways, author posts, interviews. I will just stay with my reviews, and sometimes, I can do smth like that
Delete2008?! Wow, that is a long time!
ReplyDeleteI am ooold
DeleteA focus on reading is great. You have been very faithful.
ReplyDeleteI have tried my best
DeleteYou are one of my first (and few remaining) blogger buddies. So glad we're still here just doing our thing.

I can't even remember all those who have stopped anymore :/
Delete"In the olden days I had more guest posts from authors and giveaways, but damn that takes work!"
ReplyDeleteLOL, it does! I've always done little in terms of interviews, blog tours, etc., and only for authors/books I was familiar with or REALLY interested in. And I don't even think people care about them at this point. As for giveaways, I don't do them, because I'm poor LOL. Also, the community is what really gets us going - 100% agree.
14 years are a LOOONG time! You're one of the pioneers! 😉 Here's to many more!
I know it is crazy! Though only one post in 2008 lol.
DeleteThose were the crazy days and now everyne should just booktok
Oh gosh, I think like 10 years! And my blogging has definitely changed, I've got less time to do it these days, for one! LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, how on earth did I have the time before?!
