4/18/2023 What were your expectations when you started blogging?
I honestly do not remember. All I know is in 2008 I was bored, and scrolling online. I think I happened upon a blog by an ebook editor? And I was all, cool, so I looked and found other ones. I created mine in Dec 2008 and it was a slow beginning. Then I saw that you could review books by authors! I was all, yes, now that I like. I got to read books I would never have tried or gotten a hold of here back then. It opened up the world to me

"It opened up the world to me"
ReplyDeleteI think it's especially true for us international readers...back when I started, I just wanted to give some exposure to the books I BUYED and loved, and I would never have imagined reading ARCs or being a beta-reader!
ARCS was a whole other ballgame, I was all WOW. I have never read as much as I did back then
DeleteNone. 0 expectations. I didn't even think anyone would see my blog or care lol
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to write :D
DeleteI honestly had no idea how deep the book blogging world was when I first started.
ReplyDeleteWhen it has you, it never lets go
DeleteThat is so cool!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteYes, trying books I wouldn't have and meeting other book bloggers happened, but I didn't know what to expect.
ReplyDeleteI could never have expected this
DeleteTo connect with other book lovers and it worked! :)
ReplyDeleteYay, glad it worked
DeleteI didn't start reviewing books for a while after I started my blog. It's fun though.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I found you and your blog. When I first made my blog it was a dare between me and several other people. We thought it would be fun to see what we could come up with to blog about. I'm the only one who still had my blog out of the 5 of us who started.
Nice of you to keep going :D My first blog was just a journal, but this, this was for me
DeleteI thought that everyone would want to follow my blog when I started it. I had no idea how hard I would have to work at it!
ReplyDeleteWow, big dreams :D
DeleteI think I was initially drawn to blogging because of the idea of getting books for review. That was also when I discovered netgalley which I guess helped fulfilled that expectation :D
ReplyDeleteI liked netgalley back in the day, now I have given up since I am not accepted anymore
DeleteI started in 2010 because "everybody was doing it." LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt was the thing to do
