I know that lately there have been many bookbloggers who feel like they aren’t being read, or that their voice doesn’t matter. I think it’s easy to look at follower stats, or compare the number of comments on a post vs. what is on someone else’s . I wanted to add my two cents’ worth, in the only way I know how: by listing just a few of the books I’ve picked up and enjoyed, all thanks to the recommendation of a wonderful bookblogger.
Take heart, friends! Your opinions are needed!
I credit The Irresponsible Reader for this one. I picked it up based on his fantastic review (I did read them out of order, though: sorry).
I picked this up thanks to an awesome review by Paul at Pauls Picks. It’s one of my absolute favorites of this year.
This is another book that I read thanks to Paul.
Middlgame is a direct result of an excellent review by Beth at Before We Go.
I saw reviews for this one floating around on several different blogs, prompting me to pick it up. I loved it.
Last, but most certainly not least, I’m currently tearing through this book. I’m well aware that I’m going to be incredibly emotional at the end of this one (there have already been a few sniffly moments). Jeez, guys!
These are just a few of the books that I’ve read thanks to you awesome bookbloggers. I’ve got many, many more on my to be read list that I’m excited to dive into. I hope this post encourages you to keep on doing what you love: reading and writing!
**There are so many other book blogs that I love reading. I can’t include all of you in this post because it would turn into a novel, but a few that come to mind at this particular moment are:
Off The Tbr
Devouring Books
Hooked On Bookz
The Tattooed Book Geek
Way Too Fantasy
Fiction No Chaser
The Orangutan Librarian
First Book Love
Like Herding Cats
Grimdark Dad
Thanks for the mention.😀📚

Thank you for the mention! It’s so nice to know that our voices matter! Sometimes blogging can pretty discouraging, but I keep telling myself to keep going and look, I ‘met’ you here who thinks my opinion matter and a few others who consistently read my posts and comment too! ❤️ 😘 And I’m truly grateful! Thank you! ❤️ 😘

For me, the best thing about bookblogging is finding people who love books as much as I do. It’s awesome to be able to talk about books without annoying anyone. Ha ha!

Great post! With my blog I tend to use Views as a guideline rather than anything else and, yes, a small band of genuine readers keeps me going 🙂
