I have been blogging here at Adventures of a Bibliophile for five years now. (I know, I can’t believe it, either.) It’s been a long journey from having almost no idea what I was doing and being totally new to the world of book blogging to where I am now. I’m really proud of how […]
Read MoreAdventures of a Bibliophile is almost five years old! Hopefully that means we are out of the awkward stage. Honestly, I feel like this blog has become more reflective of my personality and what I feel passionate about over the past few years.

Read MoreAny blogger will tell you that blogging takes up so much more time than they expected it would. It’s basically like having a second job, for which you either don’t get paid, or get paid very little. (Yes, there are exceptions to this rule, but don’t count on being one of them.)
