Blogger Recognition Award

Woohoo! Our second award! Who would have thought this day would come?

We got nominated by the amazing blogger Laura, over at Blue Eye Books. Thank you for nominating us! This award was created by Eve @ Edge of Night. You can check out the original post here.

Here are the rules:
1. Select 15 other blogs you want to give the award to. Do some digging if you must! Find those blogs. You cannot nominate yourself or the person who has nominated you.
2. Write a post to show off your award! Give a brief story of how your blog got started, and give a piece or two of advice to new bloggers. Thank whoever nominated you, and provide a link to their blog. List who you've nominated in the post. 
Make sure to also attach the award itself! (You can do this by right-clicking, saving, and uploading the image above).

3. Comment on each blog and let them know you've nominated them. Provide a link to the award post you created.

4. Provide a link to the original post on Edge of Night. That way, anyone can find the original guidelines and post if needed, and we can keep it from mutating and becoming confusing! 

Our blog's story:

We had two fail starts at blogging before we started this one. This blog was created on the 24th August 2014. We didn't have any followers at the beginning, but we just kept on writing our reviews and this is how we ended up today! We gradually started developing the blog more and got more, we think we can call it skill, at running the blog and writing our reviews and expressing our opinions better.

Our advice:   
     1. Run a blog along with a friend

 We think, that it is immensely helpful to both of the co-bloggers to run one blog together. Then both of them can keep each other on track if they have a posting schedule. A partner is also good moral support. We can prove that from our own experience. As an example, we used to post our reviews when ever we finished reading the books. But then we both coincidentally landed in a reading slump and didn't post for a long time. Then we both agreed on a posting schedule and therefore we could save some reviews for a later time.

     2. Don't feel pressured to post something

Never feel forced to post something on time or post something that you don't want to. You created your blog for leisure and out of interest (hopefully). It is understandable is you want a break from the blogger world, after all a blog is a good thing and shouldn't be viewed as a chore. A good example for that would be Jessica. She sometimes needs more than a week to gather her thoughts about a book and therefore misses her posting day. Sometimes she just doesn't have the time, but she posts her review on the coming posting day then. She doesn't force herself to post on the day if she can't.
