I love to read. I have been an avid bookworm since I can remember, way before it was ‘cool’ to be a geek and wearing the ironic oversized thick black glasses with clear lenses. Although in my case I have such bad sight that the glasses are super strength! I also love to follow book bloggers, writers and book reviewers on twitter and bloglovin’ to find out about new releases from my fave authors, hear top recommendations in different genres and also try my hand at book competitions.
Because of this love for the written word I get quite excited when talking to others who are just as obsessed with reading as I am. Although books don’t feature all the time on Not Wed or Dead in the background I always have my nose in a book and when I realised that on twitter there isn’t a chat group for other book-nerds I decided to start one!
Which is why tonight is the first twitter book bloggers chat and I’m hosting. Eeek. I feel as nervous as when you organise a party and desperatly hope people will turn up and enjoy themselves.
If you are on twitter and have as much love for books as I do then please join us tonight (and every Tuesday evening) between 7-8pm UK time by either following @BookBlogChat or using the hashtag #bookbloggers. Each week there will be a new topic to discuss and even if you don’t have a blog that features books but just love to read and talk about books then please get involved.
Tonight’s topic is ‘Getting to know you’ as it is the first chat so it will be nice to hear from those taking part where their love of books came from. It is planned to be informal, chatty and positive as we don’t want it to become a place for bitching about other bloggers/publishing houses/authors etc or for giving unnecessarily negative and crap reviews. So get yourself on twitter, all comfy with a brew and a few biscuits and get involved at 7pm tonight!
Hope to chat to you later!
