I wasn't even aware of all the other book blogs there were when I first started my blog, it was just because I always talked about books on my personal blog so I wanted to keep the book stuff seperate and I had a bunch of online friends who loved to read too, so I started up a blog with them.<br /><br />I admit, I care about how many followers we have... because it's lanna-lovelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804543331312814545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729412516964744005.post-55357969392508814472010-04-23T18:51:08.098+10:002010-04-23T18:51:08.098+10:00Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it'...Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's unfair you criticise others like this. Weren't you one of those people heralding contests to gain more followers? That 49 followers contest that ended in 350+?

I am new to the blogging community and sometimes forget that I started this for my own amusement rather than for someone else, I got sucked into that whole "OMG!

I try to post often but I'm not gonna freak out if it doesn't happen. School and my life are more important than my blog but my blog is a big part of me too. I love doing it and I will continue to do it because of that.
