Welcome to 2020
Happy 2020!
Whelp, I think it's safe to say that my 2019 Book Review Blog fell apart in August, and I think it was for a few reasons.
1) Reviewing Books is Limiting - After awhile, it wasn't as fun for me to post a review of every book. I began feeling like it was something that I had to do rather than something that I wanted to do.
2) Books I Didn't Like - I haven't quite figured out how to talk about books that I didn't like. Just because a book wasn't for me doesn't mean that it isn't someone else's favorite book, and I am struggling to find a good way to acknowledge that.
3) No One is Reading This Blog - This actually isn't a huge problem for me because I'm a pretty private person. But, I would like to connect with other book people, so I need to find a way to expand. I'm terrible at self-promotion, so I'm taking applications for a Hype Person.
So, what am I going to do about it?
1) Get over myself and write.
2) Link to Goodreads and subtly hype from there.
Any thoughts/prayers/tips/tricks on how to keep this little blog going?
