Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.
~This Week's Question:
What drove you to start book blogging in the first place?
~My Answer:
So...once upon a time there was a little me. A little me with a gigantic obsession...a gigantic obsession with books.....It all started.....
heheh
The reason I started blogging was because I had no one to talk books with. Here I was with this HUGE book obsession and NO ONE to rant and squeal and express all my feelings and thoughts with about those books. No one in my family reads (except my dad...but who wants to talk with their dad about hot fictional boys right!? Other things ya! Boys no. No boy talk= to fun...) and none of my friends do. It sucked. So then I heard about this little thing called blogging....a whole network dedicated to ranting about the awesome books I have read! Sign me up!! And not only that but people like me to talk to. I can talk to other book obsessors and not get this vibe like I just grew three heads while I DO talk about books! The people in the blogging communicate are so nice!
......So there. You have just got the insight of my blogging history! Where it all began! Feeling special yet ;) hahaha jk!! ;D

I think we started blogging for the same reasons.NONE of my friends like reading, and book bloggers love reading,So of course I had to be apart of this wonderful community haha.
ReplyDeleteNew follower!!! :D
Hahah exactly! Great minds think alike no? ;)

That is another reason why I had, until I got my sis in laws reading too now they want to talk before they thought I was insane.

DeleteThanks for stopping by! :)
Hi Jaiden! New follower hopping through. Lol. I wish I'd found the book blogosphere at your age! I spent a lot of time reading in high school, and guess what? No one to chatter about books with! I guess I'm making up for it now! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks so much! :) Haha awwe ya it sucks! Wish you could have found it sooner too but indeed! Lots of make-up time! :) Glad you finally got the chance to join! Happy Friday to you too! And Thanks again
DeleteMe too! No one in my family reads, and my friends aren't that obsessed with books, so I also had no one to talk to about books. Blogging is really awesome because you get to talk about books on your blog, and talk to other book lovers as well. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

My family reads and we are avid book sale goers. We even send books back and forth just so that we don't miss anything!

LOL yep my reason was pretty similar! Happy Friday! My Follow
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower, and I know what you mean, I was the same, I was glad to find book bloggin, only been doing it a few months, but doing ok so far.
ReplyDeleteHere is my FF Post
Haha, yeah, I would imagine that you wouldn't want to talk to your dad about boys. I don't really have that many people to talk to about books either which is one of the reasons why I joined. When I get obsessed about a hobby, I need to talk non-stop about it so yay for us! We found an outlet. LOL. Old follower. My FF is here :0)
ReplyDeleteI'm also the only one in the family who reads! Everyone else hates reading... New Follower! :)

Great answer! I've always has a real life Book Buddy so I can't imagine having no one to squeal about books with.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower, I'd love it if you visited me and returned the favour.

The only person that reads in my family is my mum but I much prefer talking about fictional boys with the blogging community. ;)
ReplyDeleteNew follower!! Great blog!
My F&F. :)
No one I know really reads either, my mum does but she only reads crime and so I never really have anyone to talk to about the books I love.

Hey Jaiden! Nice to have you in the blogging community! :)
ReplyDeleteStop by my Follow Friday
It is a nice way to talk about books, nice answer.

Wow, how come we readers can't find each other in real life? There seem to be so many of us looking for bookish friends. Yes, I can't think of anything more awkward than talking to one's dad about fictional hot boys, except talking to your dad about real life hot boys.

Great answers, I can totally understand you! My boyfriend likes to listen to me rant about a book - but it must not be too long and he can't talk back, so.. I love how we are able to talk with other book lovers this way ^^

That's how it was for me, too! None of my friends is into books so it's great having so many people to talk to now!

Great answer! New follower via GFC (Heather's Book Chatter http://authorheather.com)
ReplyDeleteI feel like that is a huge reason people blog and use GR. I know that's why I do. Honestly, I didn't have anyone to really give me good suggestions of books so I hit GR up and found tons. Now I devour books like they are going out of style :o)
