Discoveries this week.. (Contd)

As I stretch out listening to BBC podcasts subscriptions, I send a silent prayer to bless the developers of Miro yet again for the handy tool. As to my friends here, I have not forgotten my promise to write about my other discovery this week. In fact, this has been quite the “discovery” week. But I will not reveal my other web-treks as yet – yes, they are mostly cyber-world discoveries. I will save them for future posts ;)

“Discovering” Book Blogging almost three years after my baby steps into the world of blogging, does throw into sharp relief what an amateur I still am ;) Another irony of this discovery is that, my first blog post ever was a book review! One would have thought I would be a veteran in book blogging! Well, things did not progress on that front as you can see. I spent too much time racking my brains and keeping my eyes peeled for things around me to blog about, that I missed what has always been close to my heart. Sure, I have blogged about books and bookstores. But I never got into mainstream book blogging. This is not to say I will stop boring you with these musings :P and do only book reviews hereon, but I do intend to make an attempt at reviewing.

A lot of the book blogs I looked at were semi-professional – there was a proper book review policy, reviews done on books picked up from the store as well as on requisition by author, etc. I am not aiming to get into the high-flying league though. Even I am not that deluded you see ;) My reviewing will be mostly for my own sake. I went back and re-read my first post and my only book review in history. I remember the pleasure I experienced writing it, my first piece of writing that was not a school essay or exam paper. And it helped me refresh my memory about the book beautifully and inspired me to pick up a book from my to-be-read stack as well. And that is reason enough for me to try book blogging!
