Welcome back to another Blogger Spotlight. For these articles, I have sent out a request to anybody who would be interested in having their blog shown on another blog to reach out and answer some questions for me. Today I'll be highlighting The Livi Chronicles, a book and lifestyle blog run by Livi. Both a fan of books and a fan of fashion, food and other trends, Livi set up a blog that would allow her to fulfil her passion for writing as well. Since writing these questions, she's looking to broaden her horizons to include a wider range of content on her blog. What made you get into blogging? I have always wanted to create a platform to share my writing and connect with other writers and overall meet…

Welcome back to another Blogger Spotlight. For these articles, I have sent out a request to anybody who would be interested in having their blog shown on another blog to reach out and answer some questions for me. Today we'll be highlighting Simply Good Books, a book blog run by Christine. Christine, like so many of us during the pandemic, took the many hours at home as an opportunity to spark up a hobby. Christine started SImplyGoodBooks as a site to offer personal book recommendations to others with her additional motive coming after she read a book review of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall which she found it to be unnecessarily mean and unhelpful. What made you get into blogging? I have been an avid reader all my life, being one…

Welcome back to another Blogger Spotlight. For these articles, I have sent out a request to anybody who would be interested in having their blog shown on another blog to reach out and answer some questions for me. Today we'll be highlighting Cozy with Books run by Esther. During a time when all of her friends were using the lockdown as an opportunity to create new things and start new ventures, Esther decided to create Cozy with Books to feed her love of reading and all things books. What made you get into blogging? I started reviewing books on Goodreads but wanted to move onto a different platform. I love books and during quarantine and lockdown back in 2020, my friends were using the time to start their own passion…

Welcome back to another Blogger Spotlight. For these articles, I have sent out a request o anybody who would be interested in having their blog shown on another blog to reach out and answer some questions for me. Today we'll be highlighting Donna Latvis. Donna Latvis isn't your typical 20 or 30-something blogger. She's a self-deprecating 62-year-old who struggles with technology but loves to write and hopes to influence people with her writing. What made you get into blogging? I am new to blogging. I am 62 and have loved to write since my early teens. On August 24 2021, my new Inspirational novel was released "On The Edge". So I wanted to start a blog to let people know about my published books. What I am working on now.…

[caption id="attachment_1518" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Pin me to Pinterest![/caption] What made you get into blogging? Through a sheer love of books. I’m a massive bookworm.  People would ask me for book recommendations or my opinion on a book and I decided to reach a wider audience by making a book blog where I write reviews! What's your most successful post? On my book blog, the most successful book review I have with the most views is Zoo. What's been your biggest uphill battle with blogging? Getting…

In today's Blogger Spotlight, we're highlighting Brave Daddy - a blog run by Greg, offering parents tips and stories from the point of view of a parent who admits that no parent really knows what they're doing. Greg writes interesting stories that turn everyday parenting moments into almost fictional stories. [caption id="attachment_1512" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Pin me to Pinterest![/caption] What made you get into blogging? Well, a lot of things. First, I got things on my mind, but the wife and kids don’t listen. I think that’s a common thing with husbands and fathers who are intellectual giants. It’s tough, but we find a way to make it through the day. Another thing that made me want to do it was hanging out with people and sharing our daily tribulations. Being…

In today's Blogger Spotlight, we're highlighting Donna's Interviews and Reviews - a blog that focuses on exactly what the title suggests - book reviews and interviews with authors. Donna has a good following and really enjoys what she does. Donna enjoys blogging and has some great tips for those looking to start a blog as well as some great ideas on what motivations keep her going. [caption id="attachment_1507" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Pin me to Pinterest![/caption] What made you get into blogging? I have always been a huge reader, then during the first lockdown I wondered if there were book groups on Facebook. A quick search showed that there were loads. I joined a bunch and soon became friends with authors and fellow readers. The blogging came as a sort of accidental…

In today's Blogger Spotlight, we're highlighting Kayleigh's "Cooking the Books" blog where she highlights indie authors and their books. Kayleigh isn't in the game to get followers or likes for herself, she wants the indie authors she promotes to get more book sales to reward them for their incredible work. [caption id="attachment_1435" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Pin me to Pinterest![/caption] What made you get into blogging? In the grand scheme of things, I am a very small fish in a massive pond in regards to the book blogging world. I met virtually via a Facebook book club, some really lovely authors whose writing I absolutely fell in love with. The sheer brilliance and the rawness of their talent was the firestarter for my blog. My whole reason and soul purpose is to…

In today's Blogger Spotlight, we have a man of very few words in Grumpy Old Books by Noel Powell. Noel is proud of his unique selling point - the fact he's not young and bookish, he's just a grumpy old man who loves books. Something else unique about Grumpy Old Books is that he includes a summary of the author of the book he's reviewed at the bottom of each of his reviews. [caption id="attachment_1410" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Pin me to Pinterest![/caption] What made you get into blogging? I got into blogging because I am mean with money. I love books so I signed up to NetGalley to get free advanced copies of books about to be published. All I had to was give an honest review. However to get the…

In today's Blogger Spotlight, we're shining a light on a blog I can really get behind. Everything Handheld run by Aaron is a blog all about books and gaming - two of my personal favourite hobbies. He features book and game reviews as well as other articles highlighting his two favourite hobbies. [caption id="attachment_1370" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Pin me to Pinterest![/caption] What made you get into blogging? I have been reading fantasy and Sci-fi for over a decade after a dear family friend (who has now passed away) recommended the David Gemmel book 'Legend'. In a matter of months, I have polished off a large selection of David Gemmel's novels and was slowly falling down the rabbit hole of reading. Over the years, my thirst for reading has continued to grow…
