Book Blogger Hop (August 24 - August 30, 2012)

Book Blogger Hop
The Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jen at Crazy For Books.  Please visit her site for complete rules as well as some great content. 

Question:  What is your favorite thing about blogging?

Answer:  This is a VERY difficult question to answer.  It seems that a lot of things tie into each other.  But I have to say my favorite thing about blogging is the people I meet. Stepping into the blogging world has allowed me to be more observant of bookish happenings, conferences and events and I've been able to see and hear the most amazing authors.  I got to meet ROBERT MCCAMMON for God's sake!!!!  (Charles de Lint, you are next!).

While I love the authors I've met and they are behind fuel that feeds my book frenzy, truly, my first thought was meeting all the other bloggers I have throughout the duration of my blogging endeavors.  They have encouraged and validated me.  They've been wonderful book companions and not only do we discuss books, but blogging and life.  I feel I have gained many friendships that will last forever.  It may sound a bit corny but when I make a friend, I become very attached to them.

  1. How I envy you. There's not a lot of bookish happenings in my place though and even less book bloggers. Do drop by my blog to know my answer. Happy hopping.

  3. Totally agree. My favorite part about blogging is the community. I love that I have all these people to talk books with and that they never think I'm weird because of it :)

    Happy Hopping!

  7. I love the sense of community we get, because reading used to feel so solitary. It certainly doesn't feel that way now!
