I've been blogging for 18 months now and I definitely agree that the most important thing about blogging is to keep it light and simply - fun. My blog has sort of taken over my life. I spend a huge amount of time on it, but I'm still having fun. And when I'm not, things will change. <br /><br />If you are interested in getting more publicity, check out Follow Friday, which I co-host with Parajunkee. It goes up every Thursday night at 9 PM central time. We have 200-250 blogs participate per week. FF and IMM are how I found most of the blogs I follow and how other blogs found me.<br /><br />As for book count, I do read a lot. I read about 150 books last year. I read very quickly. If you want to learn, I'd suggest going to law school. The speed at which I read probably doubled over the course of the three years. :-) But YA books are a lot more fun to read than cases.<br /><br />If you ever have any questions about blogging, please let me know. I love spouting off tons and tons of advice. alisoncanread at gmail dot com.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169304668138840654.post-41413697294382895332012-01-11T16:38:55.178-05:002012-01-11T16:38:55.178-05:00Don't sweat the book count.

I'm happy with reaching 50 a year too :)Tales of Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938494589922620170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169304668138840654.post-15889288885768380972012-01-09T19:56:59.565-05:002012-01-09T19:56:59.565-05:00I love your header!

I think you have to genuinely enjoy the posting, creating, and sharing process to stick with it.<br /><br />In terms of advice for reading more than 50 books, that was my goal this past year, and I was able to hit 63 :) I think having an e-reader (Kindle) helped me bunches because I started traveling with it wherever I went and found myself reading more in places other than the comfort of my home.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to following you and discovering great books!<br /><br /> <a href="http://hughesya.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Lauren @ Hughes Reviews</a>LHugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447464817875756643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169304668138840654.post-67238053043529028252012-01-09T17:02:03.058-05:002012-01-09T17:02:03.058-05:00I absolutely agree blogging should be fun not a ch...I absolutely agree blogging should be fun not a chore.

I think you've definitely achieved showing your personality through your writing.<br /><br />I try not to worry too much about how many books I read. It depends on so many factors--speed, free time, what type of books you read. Middle-grade fantasy takes much less time than most classics! On the other hand, I have no explanation for people who read 300 or 400 books a year! They're just naturally impressive, I suppose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169304668138840654.post-5543011370354508592012-01-09T14:17:42.768-05:002012-01-09T14:17:42.768-05:00this is an awesome idea ill have to join in on the...this is an awesome idea ill have to join in on the fun!crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576089646992512398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169304668138840654.post-41974436448267985092012-01-09T09:58:03.193-05:002012-01-09T09:58:03.193-05:00New to your blog- and blogging in general- so I...New to your blog- and blogging in general- so I'm learning as I go as well!
