It’s been 11 amazing years. To be honest, it feels like only yesterday that I was contemplating starting a blog; feeling so terrified at the prospect of it all. It feels surreal to reflect upon my literary journey today. As I sit here surrounded by my bookish thoughts, I can’t help but reminisce about how fulfilling this venture has been. In this post, I shall recount all the ways this site has helped me in my journey as a leading book blogger of India.
So, here are some benefits of book blogging from my personal experience:
Growing my passion for reading
Sharing my passion with like-minded individuals has allowed me to build some great friendships with common interests.
Community Building
Fostering a supportive and engaging community of readers, writers, and fellow bloggers through my love of books.
Personal Growth
Book blogging has helped me sharpen my writing skills, reviewing skills, and imagination. Expressing thoughts on books and engaging in discussions has lead to personal growth and self-discovery.
Discovering New Books
Through other book bloggers and readers, I have often stumbled upon lesser-known literary gems. Honestly, this is one of my best takeaways.
Building Author Relationships
Book blogging brought me in touch with many talented authors from across the globe and build lasting relationships through literary collaborations.
Influence and Impact
As a book blogger, I have managed to gain a certain following of dedicated readers and booklovers all over the world and I revel in the idea that my reading habits and likes tend to influence readers’ choices, help lesser-known authors gain visibility and encourage readers to explore different genres.
Constructive Feedback
Interacting with authors, readers, and fellow bloggers has always helped add value to my reading experience and shaped how I write and construct quality content for the community.
Reaching Reading Goals
Maintaining a book blog has helped me achieve my reading goals. By regularly updating blog posts, I make sure I read consistently and stay committed to the reading lists.
Free Books
This is my favorite yet. As a book blogger, I often receive review copies of books by publishers or authors, allowing me access to new releases before they hit the market.
Memories
The book blog is my personal archive of my reading journey over the years. It is a digital journal of my literary memories that I so cherish.
Blogging has helped me in ways I could never imagine. I look back upon my life these last 11 years and love each and every day of it, every experience, and wouldn’t change a thing about it.
I want to take the opportunity to thank all my readers and subscribers for being with me in this journey. I truly appreciate your love and support.
