Though I have been an avid reader (though I may be right now) I have never wanted to pen down my views about a particular book....One upon a time not long ago vb was reading a book named Eat, pray , love by Elizebeth Gilbert (I know not the kind of book one expects) , I don't know from were it hit, but it just hit me hard and strong , and I started my blog, I m sorry to let you all down with a not so strong tale for starting this blog...Like many I have always believed that a book finds me rather I finding one and that is the reason why I christened my blog as "books for me" and thus started my love affair with blog, blogging and my books....There are times when I have ignored my blog , but the truth is I have never fallen out of love...All these years I have mostly stuck to classics and history , but blogging has added dimension to my reading, it got me introduced to many authors whom I wouldn't have bothered to read otherwise..I also became open to books in general which in turn instilled a sense of excitement in my reading making it even more enjoyable...One more important facets of blogging is that , I got to learn about many bloggers who inspired me to read and to write for good...
I have also had my instances of bloggers block (I don't know if something like that exists), still it has been real fun so far...I hope that with every passing day things would get better and better..
Congrats vb! 200 is definitely a number to celebrate and look back. I agree with you that a blog and connecting with other blogger-readers will help you in coming out of your comfort reading zone. I have just started :) and hope to read more...
