Book Blogger Hop August 24 to August 30

"Welcome to The Reading Life"

Book Blogger Hop
August 24-30

I am very glad to see that Crazy for Books by Jennifer has restarted The Book Blogger Hop.   I always found it a great way to discover new to me blogs and I gained some great mutual followers through it.

"Welcome to all book blog hoppers"-
Carmilla
I post on a wide variety of books.   Among my interests are Asian fiction, short stories, classics, modern novels, and literary fiction.   I like to discover new to me authors.   

Every week Jennifer poses an interesting question for participants.

This weeks question is What is your favorite thing about blogging?

My Answer

I have loved reading for as long as I can remember.   I was always made to feel I was somehow odd in this passion and I felt alone in my love for reading.    Thanks to the huge international book blog world I know longer feel alone.  Through it I have connected not just to legions of other avid readers but authors as well so it has gotten me closer to the creative process.   

I will follow back any one who follows me.  Just leave a comment so I will know you are now following me.  I will also return the visits of those who leave comments.

I am on Twitter as @thereadinglife

I like visiting book blogs, I find so many new books and authors, that I never would have even thought about otherwise. I also like reading reviews to books, helps me know if I would like to read the book. Therefore, I have a TBR pile that just keeps growing.
