I only have been blogging for a bit more than a year and I don’t feel qualified to give anyone tips about building a community. However since this is the daily topic I’m going to try. Most important is to keep doing what you enjoy. Don’t try to appease others, don’t try to read books you “think” your followers want you to read and don’t overload yourself with deadlines. This is a hobby, it’s fun, it’s hectic, it’s pleasing and rewarding –but don’t make it work. Keep enjoying reading and don’t being afraid to express an opinion, follow other bloggers, see how they handle tough situations, seeing how they start/end discussion and don’t be afraid to participate. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, you’ll find a plethora of information and good will if you simply ask. Parajunkee even have a weekly feature called “Book Blogging 101” which is one of my favorites.

I’m going to tell you right off the bat that I’m going to cheat. This weeks marks the 2011 Book Blogger Appreciation Week. Yes, I have my favorite book bloggers and they know who they are. There are several which I follow religiously but mostly I simply enjoy looking at my RSS feed knowing that there are many other bookish people out there who like to share their experience reading. I’m a firm believer that reading was, and could be again, a social activity. In days of yore people use to sit around the fireplace taking turns reading passages out loud and discussing them. Those days were gone but they’re coming back. Instead of a glowing fire (sounds romantic but imagine the dirt, cinder and smoke) we have glowing computer screens and we don’t read out loud anymore but we certainly discuss the books. The beauty of it is that we can get opinions of people across the ocean and, based on our own depiction of reality, discuss how a certain book affected us in different ways. Book blogging also takes a huge amount of time, several hours a day to maintain a consistent blog (lots of reading and writing)….
