Book Blogger Appreciation Week is coming up in just a month and a half (right before my wedding, I’ve just realized [oh no, my wedding is in a month and a half!]), and to prepare, participating blogs are filling out veteran and newbie memes. Here are my newb responses:

1) What has been one of the highlights of blogging for you? The fact that I read more now! The first few posts on this blog, you might notice, are short and rather far between; they were from my simple Summer Reading Project list that I once kept. Once I started the blog officially (actually, another coincidence: right around the middle of September!), my reading picked up and my thoughts got more coherent since I was writing to other people and not just myself.
2) What blogger has helped you out with your blog by answering questions, linking to you, or inspiring you? I can’t really say any one blogger has been my muse, but I thank everyone who has visited and especially those who are reading this in their feed readers; it’s nice to feel read! I also thank Mary for recommending books wherein everyone dies but also generally amusing me with her comments. 🙂
3) What one question do you have about BBAW that someone who participated last year could answer? How many new friends am I going to make out of this? Because I suspect it’s a lot.

If you have a book blog and haven’t signed up for BBAW yet, do it! Do it now!
