As many of us know, the BBAW (Book Blogger Appreciation Week) is coming in September. Today I would like to try my hand at a little BBAW Meme. Since I didn’t participate in the event last year, I can’t recount any of my old experiences, but I do look forward to making some memories this year. I even just signed up to interview another book blogger. I can’t wait to get my partner!
1) What has been one of the highlights of blogging for you?
This is a pretty touch one because blogging as been its own highlight. I love the sense of community it brings with other bloggers, and I love having an outlet for my opinions and feelings. I think that is the best thing of blogging– the feeling that I have a voice that I can have heard. An unmoderated voice.
2) What blogger has helped you out with your blog by answering questions, linking to you, or inspiring you?
I have been blogging for well over a decade, and I learned it by investigating my own issues and testing out new things. I never had a blog mentor, or a blog buddy that answered my questions. I am too private and an internal sort of girl, so I don’t seek out friends or feel comfortable imposing myself on others. I know it’s silly to think that way, though, because I have met so many awesome and amazing bloggers who always seem willing to help if help is needed. I guess I am just uncomfortable abusing hospitality.
3) What one question do you have about BBAW that someone who participated last year could answer?
Is the BBAW mainly a blog centered thing, or a community centered thing? Will there be ‘sponsored’ event type things were we can all engage together?

I don’t know if any of you know this, but I have a strict policy that I never put a book down or abandon a book. If I begin a book, I see it through to the end no matter how terrible it is. This may be some weird OCD thing in me, but it always keeps me motivated enough to read any book from front to back. Granted I may put down a book and not go back to it but once a week, or return to it after a month pause, but I always finish the book.
I have read some awful books, which I won’t insult by naming here. Some that I’ve read, too, haven’t been terrible books but not things I would pick to read. These are both very tedious and it seems to take me twice as long to read a page as it would otherwise.
I would feel like a quitter! I would also feel very guilty. But most of all, it is the feeling like a quitter thing that would bother me the most, and the feeling that I gave up on something would make me feel like I have let myself down. How silly is that? I can’t make excuses for myself, though. Now, I don’t feel obligated to finish a book because I get review copies and such. This is entirely a personal thing.
Am I alone here? Am I the only one who can’t bring myself to put down a book because I’d feel like a quitter?
