I have been seeing this weekly event on I Wish I Lived in a Library, but hadn't really had a chance to explore the up-coming topics. This weeks caught my eye, though!

So, this past December my blog turned 10. I posted for the first time on December 16, 2005. I had been joining some book groups online and it seemed to be the next step...

I was looking for avenues to talk about books because I have very few opportunities to in 'real life'. Book blogging seemed like the best way to find like-minded people. And, I have... Blogging has been one of the best things I have ever done. I may vanish from it for a while, but I have met so many people through this experience! Plus, review copies kept my reading going when I was a poor university student.

Why did you start blogging?
