1. When did you start your blog?
-I started my blog on December 12th, 2010 I believe.
2. Why did you start your blog?
-I absolutely love books, and got my friend hooked on reading too, and she told me she had started a blog. I'd been thinking about creating a blog for sometime, and when she told me she started one, I decided I should go for it.
3. What has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?
-Well, since I haven't read many book reviews, I'm not sure if the reviews I do have are any good, and I'm kind of scared I won't make it as a blogger, or I won't improve.
4. What do you find most discouraging about being a new blogger?
-Since I started my blog about 5 days ago, and no one has commented on anything yet, like giving me feedback, I feel discouraged, but maybe a little more time will help.
5. What do you find most encouraging?
-I don't find anything encouraging yet, since according to my profile, I've had approximately 11 profile views, and not one has commented on my blog.
6. What do you like best about the blogs you read? Have you tried to replicate this in your blog?
-Since I've only had a blog for about 5 days, I haven't read very many reviews and am still trying to get the hang of things.
7. What do you dislike about blogs you’ve read? Do you try to avoid this?
-Again, I haven't really read any yet.
8. Any advice for other new bloggers?
-Read some reviews first!
9. Anything else you’d like to share about your experience?
Mmmm... not anything I can think of. :)
10. Is there anything you’d like to tell us about your blog?
-I would really appreciate any feedback, and for someone to recommend a great book they've read recently. :)

ReplyDeleteThe biggest help for me with writing reviews has been reading other people's reviews. I look at them and ask myself what I like about them and what I dislike. What did I find most helpful? I ask myself what I wish they did, but didn't, and what I wish they hadn't done but did. I then try to remember all of this when I write my own review.
I hope that helps! Reading other blogs is a great way to learn how to blog yourself. Getting involved with their sites is also a great way to get to know other bloggers. In turn they'll also get to know you and you'll have more readers. :)
Eleven people looking at your profile page is good! You just started out and people are already looking at your blog! I also left you a comment earlier ;)
I'll make sure to do that thanks :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I did notice, I even replied. By the way, I've read several of your reviews and they've been really helpful in selecting books to put on my list. Thanks! :)
