Armchair Bea: A blog post about blogging

I was going with a hammock for the whole armchair thing but I found this instead :P

So Today is about blogging because of the blogger convention. I decided to go with this question:

Not really but its a deep question eh?

How do you keep your blog fresh and interesting to your readers and yourself?

No offence readers but I don't DO this for you. I do this for me. Its a way for me to let out my creativity and share what I have read. I know, selfish right? *shake head at self in mock disappointment* But really, your blog has to be you, so writing it to keep it 'fresh' for your 'readers' doesn't make sense. I write silly reviews, use bad jokes, and make up words occasionally. Thats not for your benefit, believe me, its just my mind throwing up on the post.

Sometimes I shake my head at how goofy I am, but then I remember that of course I am goofy. That's WHO I am. If my blog doesn't show that then it isn't mine. Why would I want some serious book reviewer running MY blog when I am a GOOFY book blogger. No I don't go into the technical side of writing, examining the flaws the writing has. I look at how it made me FEEL. What I liked, what was weird to me. My reviews are strictly my thoughts about the book. How can you make that fresh?

I will mention that I have had so much fun writing these little posts and adding random pictures to them . That might just stay. The pictures that is. 

So Keep it fresh everyone!!

Armchair Bea: Words can't describe... but epic and awesome come VERY close

 I have met many people I now call friends from blogger chats and twitter , but today is about Brielle. Brielle is pretty much the coolest person. 


She runs Awesome Bookworm. I have known her for a while but it wasn't till recent the I found out the true and full power of awesome she held. Of course when someone put 'I like British accents' on there about me spot, they are a shoe-in for epic. 

Things that remind me of Brielle:

Unicorns

Ninjas

Nerds

Books

Magic

Armchair Bea: Beep! Beep! Beep! Amazing Bloggers Coming Through!!

So bloggers are epic among other things like robots and unicorns and ninjas. Some of my favorite bloggers are too epic for the word epic. Here is a list (because I LOVE lists):

Brielle from Awesome Bookworm:

Hmmm. Have you seen the letters she has sent me? No? Go here and here!! She is incredibly funny and creative. One of my best friends.

Katie from Call Me Crazy YA Reviews:

She is so sweet and her reviews are always honest and to the point. Also a VERY good friend.

Melissa from I Swim for Oceans:

Any books she mentions or reviews ALWAYS ends up on my TBR list. Also she has this thing called Friday Fix where she asks bloggers these epic questions. LOVE IT!!

Patrick from IRandomBlogger:

Blogger Dude!! And he is funny...notice a pattern yet? I like funny! But seriously this kid is awesome and random!!

Rachel from In the Library of Lady Violet:

First she is British, which really has no impact on whether she is a good blogger but I love listening to her IMMs. Also she always has unique books reviewed. She has a cool vocabulary too, which makes reading her reviews and such fun!

Please check out there blogs, or the evil robots and wifi-stealing anti-ninjas (pirates) will get ya!!

Armchair Bea: WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?!?!

Well I'm Kare. Welcome.

[Inserts epic little kid picture to distract]

 Completely true facts about me:

I am a ninja.

I trained as a wizard.

I rode a unicorn .

My neighbor took me to Narnia once.

I was excepted to Hogwarts. (I start on Sept. 1st)

My imagination is slightly overactive...

Okay okay so they aren't all true, the last one about my imagination isn't :) So I read books.  I love books, most of them anyway. I really love young adult books, I stick them religiously. I do read middle grade once in a while but adult books just don't interest me. 

Where do I Armchair? 

uh right now I am on my bed. Does that count? If not then I say my couch.
