Top Ten Tuesday is hosted over at the other blog I write for, The Broke and the Bookish.
This week, we’re getting personal. It’s about time I declared why I love being a reader and book blogger so much, so I am excited about this topic!
I really do love reading, and I love being a book blogger so much! I could have listed 100 reasons for both! I am grateful every day for finding such wonderful hobbies! And all my friends make it a million times better!
Why do you love being a reader and/or a book blogger?
First off… I love your graphic and wish I could make them!! I have to agree about finding books I wouldn’t have known about unless I blogged. Really sometimes when you see a bunch of bloggers excited about the same book it’s fun!!
Thank you, Angie! I love making my graphics. :)
And you are so right about it being fun to read the books everyone is excited about. It’s like joining a club. :)
I completely agree that reading is sexy! Especially if they’re wearing glasses…yum!

My Top Ten Tuesday
Oooo. I like your thinking. Glasses add a whole new dimension to the sexiness. Hehe.
Your graphics are gorgeous! Love you list, too.
But seriously, I’m impressed every time I come on to your blog. It’s always so pretty.
Cora, you are so sweet. :) Thank you so much!
Totally agree with you on that blogging introduces you to new books! I probably would not have picked up certain novels {that I now call my favorites} if it weren’t for other bloggers’ rave reviews.
Great list!

I know! I’ve found some amazing books through other bloggers, and am so grateful that they help fuel my hobby!
I really like this TTT and perfect timing after the Love-a-thon :-) I agree about all of your reasons–reading has always been a huge part of my life. So meeting others w/the same passion has been so amazing. :-)
You’re right! It was perfect timing, right after the Love-A-Thon, which was also so much fun. I have loved meeting all you fellow book nerds, and am so happy I always have someone to talk to about books!
People look sexy while they are reading is TOTALLY TRUE! :D Awesome list!

Love the graphic! Love the list! I definitely agree with your points, particularly the “I’ve found books I never would have otherwise.” I definitely believe in that statement. There’s so many books I’ve discovered and still am discovering because of blogging.
Thank you for complimenting my graphic skills! :) Yes, blogging continually throws new and amazing books in my lap! I love that!
Excellent reasons (and very nicely displayed, too)! Reading is definitely a cheaper mode of travel than the real life equivalents. :D
Thank you!
And yes, reading is WAY cheaper than traveling. Although… I like doing both at the same time. :P So it’s just all around expensive!
“People look really sexy while they are reading!” Why did I not think of that one,haha! :D
For me it’s pretty much the same: I love getting to know all these wonderful people and spreading the love and telling everyone about awesome books.
Hehe. Readers are sexy!
Yes, meeting people and spreading book love is definitely my favorite part of being a book blogger!
SO many good points! I totally agree with all of them. Being able to talk about books is my all time favourite thing about blogging…whether that’s through my reviews, or with other book bloggers, or with random strangers. Being able play matchmaker for books and people is a really great point and I wish I had thought of it! It carries a lot of pressure though :)
Thanks, Kaley! :) Yes, talking books with all you lovelies is my favorite thing about blogging. And you are SO right about book matchmaking carrying a lot of pressure! I always worry the person will not like what I recommended, and then I FAIL. :P
Awesome post and I agree with it all! I love the format you did it as well fun and colorful, I love it!
Thank you! :)
I love this ttt and seeing everyone’s reasons for being a reader and blogger.
Awesome list <3

Thank you! I’m really having fun seeing why everyone else loves reading and blogging. It makes me even more grateful to be both!
Reading is such an escape for me too! :)
This is a fantastic list. I couldn’t agree with you more on people looking sexy when they read. :) Nice work on your graphics – so eye-catching.
Thank you! :)
