The blog featured today is “That's What I'm Talking About!”

 

 

I’ll let Jen {Twimom227} tell us a bit about how and why she started blogging & what she loves and hates about it:

 

I started blogging in January 2010. Basically, I was meeting a whole bunch of great women on Twitter and many of them had book blogs. I really enjoyed reading their blogs and interacting with them on Twitter and thought "maybe I'll give it a try." The original intent of my blog was going to be random thoughts, things that were going on with me, my family, etc. - it most definitely was NOT going to be a book review blog. I didn't think I had the ability to write a meaningful or interesting review. However, after I posted a few "That's What I'm Thinking About" thoughts on books, I got some really great feedback and encouragement. In addition, I received some tweets from authors that that I adore, and they appreciated the reviews. That was when I realized I wanted more from my blog and I got serious about reviews, the look of my blog, the content, etc. I reached out to fellow bloggers for assistance and I am really proud of what I have accomplished.

The things I love the most about blogging: receiving and reading ARCs, chatting with other readers and bloggers, meeting new and favorite authors, having a place to state my opinions.

The things I hate about blogging: trying to keep up with reading so I can write reviews! Now that I blog and am active on Twitter, I find less and less time to read and that in turn gives me less to blog about!

Thanks for the opportunity to tell your followers about my blog!
