Probably getting nominated for a Liebster Award only a month after creating my blog. That felt pretty good!

What is your biggest problem/challenge when it comes to blogging?

Social interaction….sorry, I’m just extremely introverted. 😉

How long does it usually take you to finish a blog post?

Well, it really depends. A normal review can take from 20 minutes to 2 days. While these award posts and tags take a couple days. One day I write all questions and answers, then the next I add any pictures, gifs, and links.

I’d like to gain 200 followers, I want my blog posts to be found useful and encouraging, and I want to become an affiliate marketer.

What is the greatest achievement your blog has received?

I’m not sure….I don’t think anything hugely successful has happened, just little wins that are encouraging.

IF you haven’t got any, what would be the achievement you’d want to receive?

I’d want to Lindsay A. Franklin to read my reviews about her books. I’d also like to be viewed by other authors.

What is your best viewed post? Share it with us by providing a hyperlink and a short description about it. 

“Five Awards in One Post??!!” is top performing currently.

If you were to give out three pieces of advice for yourself as a blogger, what would they be?

Keep it simple. It’s easier and prettier.

Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there.

Which blog or blogger inspires you the most?

Drea@Mirkwood Books

Athira@Crozwalk

Julie@One Book More

What is your favourite thing about being a blogger?

I love talking about books (obviously) and having the joy of achievement with each successful post.

What are your top blogging tips? 

Don’t start extravagant. Keep it simple, post only weekly until you have got a steady pace and the commitment to blog more.

Always try and have half-way decent grammar.

Writing about what you feel is important and interesting.

What is the most amazing thing you have ever done (besides starting your blog?) 

I don’t know what it means by amazing. I don’t really find the things I do amazing….Okay, I can rap in Bs though. (Ya know, every letter at the beginning of each word is replaced with B.)…I’d say that is pretty amazing. 😉 I should be on AGT. Haha!
