Hi guys! Happy Thursday! Today I’m going to be doing the Secret Life of a Book Blogger tag. I was tagged by Bella @All Things Annabella, thanks so much for the tag, and make sure give her a follow! π Now let’s get into this!
Again, I realized as I was answering this that I’ve done this tag before back in 2017, but I’m still going to do this because I like doing tags!
1. How long have you been blogging?
Way too long? Haha, I’ve been blogging for 12 years, holy I just counted it out, and holy crap I didn’t realize it had been that long. I started in 2007. I didn’t really blog about much, bands I was listening to, the occasional photos here and there, nothing like what I do now.
2. At what point do you think youβll stop blogging?
Well, at the rate I’m going, why stop now? At the moment I don’t see myself stopping, I enjoy doing this!
3. Whatβs the best thing about blogging?
Connecting with lovely people who love to talk about reading and books and just anything really, I love connecting with you guys! π
4. Whatβs the worst thing about blogging?
I wouldn’t say that there is a ‘worst’ thing because that seems really negative, but sometimes it’s just time consuming to get blogs ready, as much as I love doing it, sometimes I’d just like to be reading!
5. How long does it take you to make/find pictures to use?
It depends on the type of blog it is. My TV Tuesday posts can take anywhere from 1-2 hours, but for book reviews/tags it’s close to 10-20 minutes.
6. Who is your book crush?
I never know how to answer this because I just don’t feel like I get crushes on characters, so I’m going to pass on this. Pretty sure I said the same thing the last time I answered this.
7. What author would you like to have on your blog?
I can bet that I said Stephen King the last time I did this, and I still would say that, but to be different this time I’d say maybe V.E. Schwab or Maggie Stiefvater.
-I just looked and yep, I said Stephen King.
8. What do you wear when you write your blog posts?
I don’t really understand why that’s relevant, but I wear whatever I wear during the day, pants, top, dress, whatever I’m feeling. I’m currently wearing a t-shirt and a pair of leggings.
9. How long does it take you to prepare?
Ha, this is vague. It all depends on what I’m doing really. But with blogging it takes me a few hours to put my posts together. I usually get them all ready on a Friday or a little bit at a time during the week.
10. How do you feel about the blogging community?
As I said before, I love it. Seeing as I did this tag two years ago and I’m still here doing it again, I definitely must love it.
11. What do you think one should do to create a successful blog?
Oh gosh, I have no idea. I wouldn’t say I’m “successful” but as long as you’re nice to people and supportive, people will be nice and supportive back to you.
