Year 3 of Blogging #blogversary

Uncategorised

I’ve been blogging for 3 years now. I couldn’t have done that without your support in sharing my blog/tweets around social media and of course reading it.

Thanks too, to publishers, authors and blog tour organisers who amazingly let me loose on their books and to their events to review.

I have many more books on my review pile. I can confirm I have a couple of books for 2022, so hopefully I’ll still also grab your attention and give you inspiration for what’s out there to read so I can have a 4th year at this. I do not get paid by anyone and I create time to do this in. I do this because, apart from a love of reading and writing, I see it as a way of supporting readers, publishers and authors whenever I can. That’s not to say I rate every book 5 stars, I do not and I also ensure I have a critical eye on things so I can give an honest review and no spoilers (no mean feat), no matter what comes my way.

I started because I was approached by an author (I thought I was having an innocent coffee with) at the Edinburgh Fringe and then a blogger approached me and planted ideas I acted upon for blogging. A friend has informed me lots start off with a book. I started off at Bloody Scotland and the following weekend at Morecambe and Vice Crime Book Festivals because I figured I’d maybe make myself useful and amazingly people read and follow my blog, twitter and facebook pages. This in turn has meant I amazingly can keep a blog going.

Many, many thanks again.

Real name is Louise. Books and Theatres are passions of mine, as is supporting people in any way I can. Since starting my blog in 2019 I’ve reviewed books and theatre. Publishers, authors, blog tour organisers kindly entrust me with books, in-exchange of an honest review. I’ve been invited to and attend book events and write them up and review. I review theatre - plays, musicals, stand up comedy. I’ve been invited to review plays and comedians. I also do interviews/Q&As, primarily with authors and actors. I love connecting with the reading, writing, publishing, acting communities. On my blog, I also have a Contact Me, if you’d like anything reviewed etc. I generally get back to people within 48hrs. I hope you enjoy my blog as I take you through my book and theatre reviews as well as book events and festivals as I attend them.
