Hello Everyone! Recently, I’ve been nominated for Blogger Recognition Award by four wonderful bloggers.I would like to thank Josephine @Josie’s Book Corner, Tiny Obsessions, Vivian @Outside Hook and Lia @Bookland for nominating me for this award.
RULES:
» Select 15 other blogs you want to give the award to. Do some digging if you must! Find those blogs. You cannot nominate yourself or the person who has nominated you.
» Write a post to show off your award! Give a brief story of how your blog got started, and give a piece or two of advice to new bloggers. Thank whoever nominated you, and provide a link to their blog. List who you’ve nominated in the post.
Make sure to also attach the award itself! (You can do this by right-clicking, saving, and uploading the image above).
» Comment on each blog and let them know you’ve nominated them. Provide a link to the award post you created.
» Provide a link to the original post on Edge of Night. That way, anyone can find the original guidelines and post if needed, and we can keep it from mutating and becoming confusing!
How Did My Blog Start?
Ok, there’s nothing special about my blog story so feel free to skip it.A few years back when I’ve been browsing through goodreads I’ve come across some amazing reviews about some books posted by some amazing bloggers and I wanted to share my thoughts too by creating a blog of my own but I wasn’t ready for blogging yet.So, I waited for the time that I would be ready for entering into blogosphere. Four months back, On March 2015 I’ve observed my “Read Shelf” is close to reaching 1000 books and I was like “WTH I’ve read so many books” then I thought It would be great if I have my own blog too so I could share my thoughts about books and other interesting stuff with other bloggers out there cause my friends aren’t into books you know so I can’t share my thoughts with them either.Books , Music and Gaming are my top three addictions and I thought it would be too messy if I blog about the three of them.So, I decided to go with Books and Music(coming soon) for now.After that, I did a fine research on which platform to choose blogspot or wordpress and finally, here I am with my own blog.
ANY ADVICE
I myself am new to the blogosphere and I don’t know if I could give great advises but here are some basic tips that you might already know
- Blog about something you wanted to share and also which makes you happy.
- Follow other bloggers and always try searching.
- Your blog should represent “YOU” so don’t forget about that.
- You may get new ideas by observing other bloggers blog posts.
- Interact with other bloggers and be nice to them.
- Try to participate in events and challenges.
- post once a week if possible or you could do a weekly meme posts.
- Try to be creative and don’t follow the trend.
- Leave feedback or comments on others posts.
- Appreciate the blogger for what they publish by simply liking their posts.

I agree with you and Analee. It’s so easy to get lost and try to become someone you aren’t. But we shouldn’t do that, because what makes us special is what makes us us. Lovely advice 🙂

Your advice is great, Raven! As you know, I so agree that it’s important to blog for one’s self. And interaction in the blogosphere is very important, be it sincerely commenting, liking, or following. That is so crazy! My read shelf is no where near 1000. And congratulations on the award! 😀
