Topic:
First Ten Books I Reviewed
This topic is really going back!
I started reviewing in 2012. It took a while before I started to review for publishing houses and authors, so I just reviewed for the fun of it....although it has gotten more fun as time has gone. I kind of know what I was doing!!
When I first started to read and review, I had no idea what I was doing, hadn't found my voice, so I was all over the place!
1.) The Help
4.) Divergent
5.) The Hunger Games
6.) Catching Fire
7.) Mockingjay
8.) Matched
9.) Crossed
10.) Blood Red Road
It took time, but I found what I loved reading. I went back to what got me into reading originally, Christian fiction. I have opened up my ideas to different genres. I now read historical, contemporary, adventure, romance. I read an assortment of styles of books.
I fell into a slump a few years before I started this blog, but when I got back into reading, I wanted to keep track. I had known of Goodreads, but didn't track like I was supposed to. Reading has expanded my knowledge of the bookish world and I'm so very happy about that!
What were your first 10 reviews?

I think all of us bloggers can relate to that first, "Oh no, how do I review now? Do I talk like a human or something? What are words?!" moment when you start your blog. My early reviews were a lot like that, too.
ReplyDeleteThat's so interesting, that you were able to pinpoint more precisely the sort of books you like. Especially since a lot of your early reviews were more YA fantasy/sci-fi, and it looks like that's not necessarily your preferred books now. How interesting!
Here's my TTT post.
I agree with Sammie. It's always interesting to see how bloggers of any type find their voice.
