BBAW 2011-How Book Blogging Has Affected Me

Book bloggers blog because we love reading. Has book blogging changed the way you read? Have you discovered books you never would have apart from book blogging? How has book blogging affected your book acquisition habits? Have you made new connections with other readers because of book blogging? Choose any one of these topics and share your thoughts today!
Other book bloggers are to blame for my out of control to be read list. I rely on other bloggers to tell me when new books are coming out and generally all of my book recommendations come from other bloggers. A lot of times other bloggers push me out of my usual boundaries and expose me to books I wouldn't normally read. This year is the first year I've participated in challenges. Every book on my War Through The Generations challenge is not something I would have chosen if not for the challenge. I'm looking forward to choosing more challenges next year to broaden my reading horizons.

  5. I got a bit burned out with challenges, so I mainly just go with ones I know. :)

  6. I'm terrible at doing challenges -- they stress me out! -- but I love to see what other people participate in and what books they end up reading. I, too, love how book blogging can push me and introduce me to all kinds of new publishers/genres/authors/books I may not have discovered or picked up on my own.
