How iamabookdrunkard started:

I have always loved reading and I last year I decided I wanted to have somewhere that I could share my book thoughts with the world. I started my iamabookdrunkard bookstagram account at the same time and they have both been really fun to work with. I found the phrase “I am a book drunkard” on Pinterest and totally loved it. It makes me think of how after you finish a really good or emotional book you can feel like you have a reading hangover. Or it can relate to the feeling you have when you wake up after reading late into the night/early morning.

Advice To New Bloggers:

I’m not exactly a huge success of a blogger but I would say that a few key things are:

1. Read what you like – don’t get caught up in what is popular at the time. Read the books that you enjoy because that is what will make your blog unique.
2. Write about what you like – write the content that makes you happy. It could be reviews, recommendations, lists, anything. If you don’t like writing negative reviews, then don’t. If you like writing in depth analysis of characters go for it! (I would love to read those actually).
3. Engage with other bloggers – the book blog (and bookstagram) communities are an awesome bunch. Find some blogs that you enjoy and leave comments. Having a back and forth with another blogger is really fun.
