There - I said it.
If you're reading this, then a) thanks for reading this and b) this is my very first blog post for Simply Books.
Blogs and blogging have long been a favourite platform of mine and I'd be lying if I said I haven't attempted this before.
But this time, I have a good feeling.
Simply Books was a blog name that came to me while I was pondering the idea of starting a blog. I wanted to keep it simple, try not to bite off more than I could chew and really use this as a platform for being creative and having a chance to write (or type rather).
Books and reading are topics I know lots about, so naturally that would be a comfortable topic to blog about.
I read a lot, always have. The last few years since graduating college, I was stressed about finding a career in my field of study and to escape the pressures of being a post-grad, I fell back into the pages of my favourite pastime.
While reading, like any hobby can be expensive. I pride myself on my book-bargain hunting abilities. With a favourite online site, like Book Outlet, I can hoard my books and not break the bank. You'll notice this if you follow me on Instagram.
These days, I have become immersed in the online book community.
Who knew there was a plethora of Instagrammers, Book Tube video creators, blogs and more all dedicated to my shared passion of reading.
Personally, I have very few friends who read and I live in a age-diverse community, so to find (or cultivate) a social book club is difficult. Therefore my solution has been to create a blog where I can sound off for as long, or as little as I want about books, reading lists, authors and more on a medium that I am extremely comfortable with - computers.
I don't know where this blog will take me, but I'll keep reading and sharing my thoughts, putting them out into the cosmic internet void. Who knows what could happen?
