Tell Us About Your Blog
Bookish Souls is a look at what I consider the best of the best in books. I try to keep a variety of books and hope that one of my reviews will entice someone to read outside their comfort zone and discover a new genre.
Why Did You Start a Book Blog?
As an avid lover of books, I find sometimes that I am in serious need of new reading material. I will scour the library in search of something new and interesting. Most of the books I most love came to my by talking to someone else who said “You’ve GOT to read this book.” The first time was in 7th grade when one of my brother’s friends was talking about The Lord of the Rings.
I was thinking about a few authors whose books really should be bestsellers but for whatever reason were somehow missed by book lovers. So I decided to start a review blog of my absolute favorite of favorite books.
What Kinds of Books do You Review?
I’ve run the gamut from fantasy to mystery to nonfiction. The books I select are truly favorites. To give an idea of the books I’ve reviewed so far–I’ve done The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott, The Bedwyn Saga (regency romance series), & The Tao of Watercolor, a very eclectic selection, but all great books.
What advice would you give new book bloggers?
I consider myself a new book blogger, so I’ll leave this question for a few years.
