Armchair BEA 2015: Introduction

How did you get into blogging?
My book blog wasn't in my first blog. I desperately hope the other blog has faded from the universe's collective memory, but regardless of that, my first blog post ever went live in 2009. As I say, it wasn't a book blog at first, but books are a huge part of my life, and I started writing more and more about books. I then stopped with that blog, and started this one in 2013, just for my book obsession, which continued to rise to ever-greater heights. I didn't discover that there was also an amazing book blogging community until a little later, though.

Why do you love reading and blogging?
I love reading because it lets me experience so many things, it makes me think, and its wonderfully fun on top of that. I don't have anyone nearly as mad about books in my life outside the internet as I am.

Share your favorite blog post on your blog.
*Strokes own ego* I found my How to Dislike a Book post really calming to write, because it was something that was really bothering me at the time.

What book are you reading right now?
I'm rereading Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo.

Take a picture of your bookshelf and share it with us!
Would you believe that this is the best angle I could find for my fiction shelves right now? It's a narrow room. Also, I just realised I still haven't delivered on that shelf tour I promised a while ago... I just have to organise my shelves first, they're mildly disastrous right now.

  1. Oh I don't think that's disastrous looking at all! That's borderline tidy! :)

    1. Well, I did cut out the worst part, which is all my library books piled haphazardly on top. Its more that there are random books missing from the shelf right now which, to me, look like gaping holes, but probably aren't all that noticeable to the casual observer...

  2. Oh yes, I LOVE that trilogy by Leigh Bardugo! I blazed through it so fast last year. :)

    1. I'm collecting them in paperback, since I borrowed them from the library the first time. The world in these books is wonderful!

    1. Thanks! I think the holes just stand out to me because I KNOW there's a book missing (I've lent out a couple).
