This Week’s Question:
Where do you find motivation and inspiration for your blog?
It is definitely my readers and the bookish community. The comments they leave, the social media love I get and the support when I’m having a down day make spending nights hunched over my keyboard worth it. I would probably still review books if no one visited, but the community around book blogging makes it fun. Now for the inspiration part, I really just want people to enjoy what they are seeing. So I try to approach my posts with an outsider in mind; is it enough information, too much information, can you see my pictures, is it pretty? I want to my my site inclusive and interesting and I keep plugging away towards that goal.
Now how about you? What makes you keep posting?
Definitely the community! I would probably just use Goodreads or something to keep track of books if I wasn’t actually blogging. I find inspiration in the things I love -and in the books I read. I also like visiting other blogs and seeing what they are doing and that might spark an idea for me too!

The community definitely makes a big difference and pushes me to do more. I want to keep communicating with all the great bloggers out there and the best way to do that is to write. Great answer!

The bookish community is wonderful, isn’t it? It really can be inspiring and help with the motivation, I agree.
