Top 5 Wednesday #12: Oh, the Joy of Blogging

Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme created by GingerReadsLainey. For more information on this meme, visit the Goodreads group. This week’s topic:

Favorite Things About Booktubing/Blogging/etc.

Being able to discuss all things bookish with a variety of people.

Receiving and giving book recommendations. Most of the books I’ve purchased this year and placed on my TBR were discovered in blog posts or YouTube videos.

Sometimes when I read a post or watch a video based on a book I’ve already read, I learn something new because that blogger or booktuber noticed something I overlooked or interpreted an aspect of the story differently than I did. Other times, I learn a new fact on an author or book.

Just having a place to express my opinions on what I read and how I read makes it worthwhile too.

You gain and improve your skills the more you blog and I appreciate that.

What are your favorite things about the online book community or blogging? Let me know below.
