Q: What do you hope to accomplish with your blog? Is it to one day become an author yourself, just for fun, maybe get some online attention, or maybe something very different?
I blog for one reason only, Total World Domination, and nothing short of that will do. Just joking, I will totally settle for meeting lovely bookish people, talking about books, and having fun. If you took away all the arcs (which I don't get a lot of, most of mine come from an arc tour I participate in- where generous bloggers who are awesome and get sent arcs share them with all of us who don't, and BEA) and even if you take my Feedburner stats away (again! Yes, Google, I am glaring at you now), I'd still do this. I've always been a reader, but finding books to read used to seem like a hard thing to do. Blogging has blown that door wide open, and now it's hard to find the time to read all the books I want to! So that's why I do this, for the love of books, and it's just a great way to turn a previously solitary hobby into something that connects me with all of you. Getting to visit all your blogs and poke through your bookshelves online without getting hit with breaking and entering charges or restraining orders is also a major plus!
And because if I blog enough, I'm hoping to build up the karma to earn this:
As always, if you follow me (and you should, because I need an audience to blog to because otherwise I won't build up all the karma necessary to get the above item), let me know, and I'll return the favor.
AND, this month my awesome blogger friends and I are hosting Bloggers Dressed In Blood and we are giving away lots of awesome books AND a Kindle Touch, because we are cool like that and October is the bestest month of the year. So check it out.
Also, it's Banned Book Week, so go read something that will make people nervous!
I've read so many books this year that I probably wouldn't have even heard about if I hadn't started blogging. I love having a never-ending TBR list, too.
ReplyDeleteOld follower. Thanks for stopping by!
LOL! I totally heard an evil villain laugh after, "TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION". Hee hee.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'd really like that little reading dome too!
Hopping through. Oh wow, I'd love to have a bookshelf like that. Maybe after 10 years of blogging.

Oh. My. God. I want one of those bookshelves and I want to live in there for ever and ever and only come out for snacks. K? K. I can't imagine NOT being immersed in the book blogging world in some way now, whether as a blogger or even just as a devoted stalker. Once you've met all these people and discovered all the fun memes and brilliant reviews, it must be hard to let it go!
ReplyDeleteW.O.W. I'd curl up and live there if I had a bookshelf like that... *new follower*

With all of the people you have forced into starting blogs, I think Total World Domination is entirely feasible for you.
