Top Ten Tuesday

One of my favorite book blogs is Broke and Bookish and one of their best features is Top Ten Tuesday.  This week the list is all about why they love book blogging so I decided to join in even though mine is not exactly a book blog.  So here it is, the top ten reasons I love blogging about books (and writting).

1.  I love to listen to myself talk and I love to read what I write.  I know, it's awful, but we've all got this in us.

2.  I love meeting new people.  It's great to get emails from readers and other writers.  When these people follow my other social networks, it's a real rush.  I even got my first Facebook stalker!

3.  I can share some of what I've learned about the publishing industry and learn from others.

4.  I can give shouts out to all the great indie authors that I enjoy.

5.  I can get the opinions of readers on things like titles, book covers, and what to have for lunch.

6.  I love to share my random and rambling thoughts.

7.  Sometimes I just don't feel like writing on my projects, but just want to have fun.

8.  Okay, I admit, I enjoy some shameless self promotion now and then.

9.  When I'm blogging, I can pretend to be busy.

10.  I enjoy that brief 1 second of fame that comes with every new post even if it's only in my own head.
