The Book Pirate’s Musings on… Book Blogging
The Book Pirate’s Musings on… Book Blogging
It’s Book Blogger’s Appreciation Week. Naturally nobody told me about this until, well, this week. It’s being hosted over at My Friend Amy’s blog and there is a lot going on. So much, in fact, that I can’t keep up. I’ll wade through it later on this week when I have more free time and try and discover some new book blogs. Until then, I did come across one post that caught my eye. It’s about giving advice on book blogging. Since The Book Pirate is still under a year old, I consider myself a newbie to this blogging click. Anyway, to contribute my share on book blogging advice…
What is one thing you wish you knew about blogging when you started or what advice would you give a newbie blogger?
One thing that I would have liked was to be more aware of the other book bloggers out there. When I started I one read one or two blogs. Since then, I have added many more blogs to my RSS feed. I would have also liked to know a little more about how to properly review a book, that I am still figuring out.
What is your best blogging tip?
Do it frequently. It’s easy to slack off and not update for a week. Like writing, it’s a habit that you need to develop.

Thanks for posting your input! I too would have liked to know about this whole book blogging community when I first started. I do have to say that there is no “correct” way to review a book – you do what works for you, what shows your personality, and your readers will enjoy it!

Every time I sit down to write a book review all I want to write is “I liked this book. You should read it.” and be done with it. However, people tend to want a little more of an argument than that. It gets easier with practice though.
