15-Day Book Blogger Challenge - Day 3

It's day 3 of April's Book Blogger Challenge!  If you're a book blogger, I highly recommend participating in it.  And if you're not a book blogger, it's a fun way of getting the inside scoop on what book bloggers are all about.


Day 3 - Blogging BFFs

So I don't really have any blogging BFFs yet (unless family counts, in which case I have my brother, but I feel like that's cheating).  Even though I've been blogging for around four years now, it wasn't until about six or seven months ago that I became aware of the book blogging community.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover how much of a community it really is too.  But I still felt shy about putting myself out there and commenting, except for Top Ten Tuesdays.  Occasionally, I would comment on a post if I felt like I had something to say, but that was about it.

And then I went to BEA for the first time this year, and I met so many other bloggers, and everyone was so cool and friendly.  It definitely helped me get over the shyness factor.  Then I signed up for twitter, which has helped me meet/follow even more bloggers.  So as I get more involved with the blogging community, I expect I will make more and more friends, who will eventually become BFFs.  Until then, I will share which awesome bloggers I met at BEA, who made me feel like I'd always been a part of the group.  You guys are amazing!

    1. She was really cool, and we had some great conversations while waiting to meet Veronica Rossi. I haven't listened to the Podcast yet, but it's on my To-Do list.

    1. You're welcome! :)

      That's how I feel about Holly Black. I'd heard of her; I even have 1, maybe 2 of her books sitting unread on my shelf. But I had no idea how popular she is or how many books she's written. And now I feel like she's all over the place - everyone's reading & reviewing her books, or her name just jumps out at me in the library.

    1. You're welcome! I've really enjoyed reading/watching all of the fun crazy things you do with Mr. Betty. I think my favorite so far is the Chipotle Eating Contest. Lol!
