Book Tag; Not A Book Blogging Newbie Tag

I came across the Not A Book Blogging Newbie Tag over at Howling Libraries and I decided to play along. This tag was originally for booktubers (created by Shelby) but was adapted for bloggers by Heather.

The Questions

1. How old is your blog?
In July this year, it will be 10 years old.

2. What are your favorite posts to make?
I really love writing discussion posts, as it enables me to look at books in a different way.

3. What is one piece of advice you would give to someone wanting to start a book blog?
Focus on consistently writing quality content rather than focusing on the stats. If you've got crappy content and isn't posting consistently, the stats will be crappy anyway.

4. Since joining have you run into any unforeseen challenges?
It's not directly an unforseen challenge, it's more the fact that book blogging can be a bit time-consuming.

5. What is a favorite book/series you’ve read because of blogging?
I've read many new favourite books and series due to blogging, one being The Vine Witch trilogy by Luanne G. Smith.

6. Overall, what is your favorite aspect about book blogging?
I can't name just one aspect, but a few. I love the bookish community (when it behaves), as well as the inspiration I get and just the fact that there's people out there who don't find me "odd" due to my love of books.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
