Book Blogger Love-A-Thon Mini Challenge #3

This is just a post to talk a bit about my own blogging experience. 
And I just have to say, that deciding to start blogging was one of the best decisions I could have made. It turned out to be a way to turn one of my passions into something productive and hopefully beneficial, not only to myself, but to others as well. 
I don't think I could have ever guessed how much this blog would fuel my own passion for young adult literature, but I have to say that the more I blog, the more I love these books and authors. 


But today, in the spirit of this Love-A-Thon, I want to talk about my experience with the blogging community. In the beginning I was a big of a sideline participant. I read so many blogs and tweets every day, but I never really responded. I gradually became confident enough to interject here and there. Now as I begin to meet more bloggers, I'm loving talking to others - not just reading, but adding my own thoughts and opinions. 
To all those who have just found me today - or if you've been following for awhile - Let's Be Friends!!
Talk to me on Twitter - leave comments - send me emails! Let's talk about books, let's talk about blogging, let's talk about the most random things ever! I'm shy and a little quiet, even online - but I'd still love to talk to you all.
Because, it's the people I do talk to, the wonderful bloggers in this community that make blogging an awesome experience. 
It's hard to think of this right now, with all the love going around - but there's been a lot of negativity surrounding book bloggers lately. If we all band together, we can work against that negativity. 


I'm not really sure how this turned from a post about my blogging experience to my begging you to be my friend. But it all comes down to - blogging is a huge part of my life and I'm so honored to be a part of this community.
