* * Top Ten Tuesdays (TTT) is a weekly event hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. * *
Today we are going to be talking about Top Ten Reasons I Love Being A Blogger/Reader. We all have many reasons why we love being a blogger/reader. Talk girls!
1. When ever I recommend a book to someone and that person comes back to me and thanks me over and over for introducing them to it. That to me is the best reward ever.
2. Having my team. My Owls are amazing and I am so grateful to have them on-board. We are like a little family where we swoon over books and boys and make any excuse to have a get together. We Owls know how to par-tay!
3. Being able to spread the word about the books I love. I can talk all day about why I loved a certain book & the fact that I get to do just that makes blogging worthwhile.
4. Getting to meet other people who share the same passion. Plain and simple. When we all get together it's like one big party! Drinking wine, talking about our book boyfriends and having the time of our lives.
5. I love being a reader because I am able to live a thousand lives. Meet new people, fall in love, travel around the world, make enemies and make friends. I can do all that while reading a book because with a book I'm never alone.
6. I absolutely love being a blogger. There are to many reason to name but I love being able to meet authors, bloggers and go to events. I am feel really proud when I show someone my babies (aka my books)!!!! I love when an author interacts with me via twitter or any other social media. And I ABSOLUTELY love my bookish-friends, how we fangirl ALL the time about every little single thing.
7. I can make an ever-lasting list as to why I love being a reader. But since we don't have enough time, I'll give you two. I simply like the feeling of getting lost in a world other than my own and experiencing everything that the main character does. It's nice to escape reality after a long day of work, stress, etc . . .
8. Oh and of course I love reading about all the amazing guys that the writers create.
9. I love the sense of community that comes with being a book blogger. There's something really rewarding about making friends, like fellow bloggers and readers, that have the same interests as you do and whom you can gush and fangirl with.
10. I love it when authors are active in social media and get involved with their readers. As a reader, when I see that an author I like replies to me on twitter or even acknowledges me in some way, I get all kinds of excited.
OOh nice reasons everyone! I agree with all of them as well!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday post

Great list! I especially like the idea of living a thousand lives through books. Escapism is my favourite part of reading, I love immersing myself in someone else's world.
ReplyDeleteNo fair - your Top Ten lists are so much easier to come up with when there are five of you!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TTT!
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Oh gosh, YES YES! I love all your answers. Talking to authors on twitter, is just amazing. I get an OMG moment every time. They're talking to me? ME?! Cue fangirling quietly on twitter. Hehe. Thanks for stopping by my TTT, and seriously owls FTW! My template is owlish too. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list! All wonderful reasons to love reading/blogging.
ReplyDeleteI love being able to escape into books as well - sometimes it's a bit necessary after a bad day, but sometimes you just want to slip back into a comfortable world that's almost as real as anything else!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I love that nearly every Top Ten I've read has that they get to live different lives or travel to different places. :) Thanks for stopping by our Top Ten!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I totally agree with all of these from sharing books to fangirling(so so fun and so hard not to do when you really like a book/character)!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Great list, you guys! I agree with all of your reasons! :)

Kristalyn @ The Sarcastic Palmtree
Ooh number 10 is a unique response, but I totally agree! The reader/author relationship is so important!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! #4 sounds super awesome: invite me anytime for books & wine! And I love how you worded #5; that you've lived a thousand lives through reading different books. So true!
ReplyDeleteAwesome list! Authors have raised the bar so high in terms of book boyfriends that real life just can't compare haha
ReplyDelete- Kritika @ Snowflakes & Spider Silk
I agree with Anna's first reason - whenever a friend comes back and tells me they loved the book I just recommended to them and did I have any other works/authors of a similar nature for them, it's the best feeling ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd Dorise's second reason - I think males in fiction have ruined me for males in real life. lol.
Witless Fool @ Obsessive Compulsive Reader
Great list! I agree with all of them but especially identify with #10! That's always so exciting!
ReplyDeleteFabulous list! I especially like points one and three :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome list, totally agree with you on all of them
ReplyDeleteAuthor/blogger events are my favorite part too aside from my co-bloggers. There is nothing like hanging out with other readers like you. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI love introducing people to new books, it makes me so happy when they love them just as much as me. Plus it gives me someonw new to talk to about that book!
ReplyDeleteNumber 5. Being able to live a thousand lives, is so true. I just went through like a month of wanting to go snowboarding and must have read a good 20 books with snowboarding story lines! Only problem now is that I feel like a pro, once I get out on that snow it's going to be a different story! Great list! :)
