I’ve been nominated!
[image error]I have just learned that I have been nominated for Best Book Blog at the Annual Bloggers Bash Awards 2019!
Why?
I had to ask myself that question.
To answer myself, I had to review my blog going right back to the very beginning in January 2015. I launched the blog to promote my own novels and then to provide a lot of fun and good information for my followers.
Apart from the occasional time-travelling coach trip and lots of short pieces to make you COL (Chuckle Out Loud), I was surprised to see how many book and film reviews I’ve posted over the years. Since well before I started blogging, or even knew what a blog was, I have been posting honest reviews of every book that I’ve read on Goodreads, Amazon and Waterstones. For the past four years, I’ve been posting them here too.
Sometimes they have been controversial. For example, my review of that great German literary masterpiece, The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, caused a stir on both Goodreads and Amazon. I didn’t have too many followers when I posted it on Write to Inspire, so there are less comments here.
So, the answer to my question is that I have posted as lot of book reviews and that my followers enjoy reading them and discussing my honest opinions.
Fingers crossed. I’d love to pick up my first ever award for writing and blogging.
