As always, TTT is hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. This week’s topic: top ten reasons I love being a book blogger.

1. Having somewhere to direct people who need book recommendations (one of the reasons I started in the first place!)

2. Guest-blogging! (I want to do more! If you do guest blogging, send me an email!)

3. All of the awesome people I’ve met through my blog

4. Learning new things about people I already know based on shared (or not-shared) book preferences

5. Getting the 411 on new books early from people who get ARCs and/or attend book conferences

6. The book blogging community is so, sooo nice

7. Having a readership of people from all over the world (it’s seriously so cool looking at your stats and seeing people from Russia, Brazil, India, China, logging on and seeing my words!)

8. Doing fun weekly memes like Top Ten Tuesday

9. Getting to participate in Book Exchange Secret Santas

10. Having a place to write down my thoughts and keep track of everything I read
