Alright guys! The 2017 Love-A-Thon is in full swing. I had heard two of the hosts Alexa and Kristin talk about this event on their YouTube channels. Since I’m new, I knew this would be a way to get to know people and put myself out there more. This first post is a questionnaire that was sent out. While I’m a bit of a private person, I have most of the questions below. If you’re participating in this, please link your stuff down below so I can follow you and see your stuff.
Questions about me:
Intro to My Blog/Me
- Was I always a reader? Was there a book that convinced you to be a reader?
-Yep always been a reader. Ever since I got books to take home and read in kindergarten, I loved reading stories. I had some stories read to me as a kid as well. There wasn’t a specific book though; once I started reading, it was a very natural progression for me.
2. How did you get involved in the online book community?
– Through the booktube rabbit hole. I randomly found a book review of Sabriel and was surprised to see people review books on YouTube. So from there, I found a lot of people who read different things and many great opinions. From there, I actually learned what was popular in YA books and discover new authors.
3. How did you choose your platform? How did you come up with your name?
– I chose blogging because, to be honest, it’s a way for me to get my book opinions out there and make friends without being as in the spotlight like YouTube. I’m a private person and don’t like putting a ton of personal stuff on the internet. So I decided I can be a reviewer and apart of the book community, while being at my comfort level at the same time.
4. What’s your favorite thing about the online book community?
– I like seeing how people view books differently from me. I enjoying seeing their perspective and how they put it in words. I also like being able to talk to people about books. I don’t a ton of people that will listen to me ramble for a long while about books. So this is my outlet 🙂
5. What sort of posts can readers expect from you?
– Here’s a few things: honest reviews, odd humor at times and a genuine love for books. While there are some I will not like, and I will not compromise my beliefs to read what’s popular, I will always being understanding and open minded.
