Hello bookworms!
So I had planned on getting this post up yesterday but I spent pretty much all day trying to finish reading Six of Crows because I had to return it to the library today. I did finish reading the book but unfortunately I didn’t do much else so this is coming to you a day late but that’s ok.
I was tagged by Luna from Bookish Luna to do this tag about a month ago. Thank you so much Luna for tagging me and I am so sorry it has taken me this long to post it. I am still trying to catch up on the tags. If you aren’t already following Luna you really should go check out her blog and give her a follow she is one of the kindest people I have gotten to know through blogging and I love her content.

How my blog started:
I started my blog as another way to talk about books. I first found BookTube and through that I learned that Bookstagram was a thing so I created an Instagram account that is dedicated to books. I then learned about book blogging and found some blogs to follow. I loved reading every bodies posts and it made me want to create a blog. At first I was scared to do it because I am not a writer. I am not good with writing my thoughts down and making them make since but finally after talking to my husband about it a little bit I decided to just go for it and I have loved it ever since.
Two pieces of advice:
- ALWAYS be honest!! Whether you bought a book with your own money or it was sent to you by an author/publisher always give your 100% honest opinion on it.
- Be yourself. Don’t just talk about books that are the “it” book at the moment talk about the stuff that interests you.

I feel like only reading the “it” books is a form of book snobbery.

Thank you for coming over to my blog. Yeah I didn’t know anything about them either. I don’t even remember how I came across them. If you have an Instagram mine is mistysbookspace if you want to check it out. I’m not the greatest at taking photos but I enjoy doing it.

Really good advice, reading only the trendy stuff isn’t my thing, and it puts such pressure to read things in a certain deadline, and then you’re always comparing to see what other people wrote… turns a hobby into a chore! Congratulations on the award ❤

I love your advice! It’s so easy to get caught up in posting about books that everyone else is talking about and then you can lose yourself as a reader. I try my best to read things that I find are interesting, not just books that are hyped up. Being truthful is also a great way to make friends because by being honest about what you like you’re able to find others who have the same interests!
