It wasn’t until yesterday night, on reading Swapna’s blog that I realised Book Blogger Appreciation Week comprised of more than awards. It’s my first year and it seemed creating the award list was going to be what happened.

I’m totally unprepared and have posts already scheduled that aren’t to do with the events, so what I’m going to do is write on a couple of the days and then be ready for next year. The topic for Monday is the blog that you first followed.

I’m going to talk about two book blogs because I honestly can’t remember which I started reading first. Before I began blogging about books on a formal basis I was already reading a handful of blogs and it was these that gave me the inspiration to start my own (because my blogging on books beforehand had consisted of me posting reviews to my general blog). Two of these blogs were Reading Adventures, now known as The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader, and Dot Scribbles.

Marg’s posts appeal to me greatly because they tend to discuss historical romantic fiction and as a lover of historical fiction I am naturally drawn to seek out more of it. She also reads Terry Pratchett who I am a fan of. I’ve never been too keen on memes but the Teaser Tuesday is something I do read and I’ve noted down quite a few books because of these posts. Marg tends to pick some very interesting quotes which is no mean feat when they are to come from a certain page!

Dot’s posts I enjoy because they appeal to the part of me that loves chick-lit and her location means I always know that I will be able to pick up the books she reviews soon after she reviews them. She also writes about mysteries, which I’m aiming to read more of in future.

Two very different focuses covered by bloggers who bring to the table their different ideas and perspectives.

I had never heard of Dot’s scribbles before, but I’m off to visit her blog right now.

And Marg’s blog is great :)

Charlie: That’s partly why I decided I needed to do two, I don’t think Dot’s blog is as well known as many others I follow and I’m always reading her posts so I thought it best to include two people today.

I forgot BBAW was this week, so I’m unprepared too! lol

Charlie: I reckon there’s still time if you wanted to post today, or otherwise prepare for the other days. I’ve no one to interview for tomorrow so that will be my planning day for the rest of the week.
