YA Bookaholics discussion

Vinny and I have been chatting in another section of the group about a blog for YA Bookaholics. We're making some plans, and I'm starting to get really into the idea.


My questions for you are these:

-Would you be interested in reading and following the blog for this group? (That's the most important thing.)

-Would you be interested in being one of the bloggers/reviewers? Would you be interested in guest reviewing? (You would send us your review or link to it, and we would share it on the blog for our readers to see.)

-What would you be interested in seeing from this blog? (types of posts, types of features, services for authors/other bloggers, etc.)

I think this blog idea would be a really cool way expand the group and make it more interactive.

I've been toying with the idea of blogging and reviewing for a while now. One of my good friends does it and recieves quite a few ARCs for her work and I'd like to get involved to.

The only drawback is that I'm in grad school, so I don't know how often I'd be able to post a blog. But if I were doing it for the group, I'd at least have incintive to do it. How often would I need to update it???

I think that's an awesome idea! It would make it more interactive and more people could be involved in it.

I would also be interested in blogging. I currently make YouTube reviews and am interested in venturing more in written reviews.

You wouldn't have to update it very often. If you wanted to, you could just be a reviewer and post reviews whenever you would want to (I would say at least two or three reviews a month.) If you're really busy, like I imagine a lot of our bloggers/reviewers would be, you wouldn't have to do much more than that if you didn't want to.

And we can definitely include your YouTube reviews as well!

That would be awesome! I would love to be a part of it!

Thanks Katie!

Vinny and I are aiming for starting the blog in December, but gathering a group of people interested in becoming the actual bloggers (the ones would have access to the blog and be able to post on it and edit it). Then we'll plan out how we want to go about it: how the blog itself would look like, what we want to do on it, etc. If enough people show interest, we'll pick some people to be bloggers and we'll start making plans.

It sounds like an interesting idea! I would love to be a guest reviewer, as I'm not online much these days, my MacBook is gone for fixing and I do what I can on my phone.

It's a great idea and I would love to be a part of this.
I love to blog so this would be good for me.
I already review books.

I would be interested in being a blogger, I have sometimes considered starting a blog and decided it's too much effort :) but like this it wouldn't be too bad, the only thing is I have absolutely no idea what is involved. But I would love to help out it sounds awesome

That's great, Lade. I assume you'd be a full time blogger, right? I mean included in the team of bloggers not a guest reviewer.

That's okay. Do you intend to be part of the bloggers (like Kaitlin has said in the posts above)?

That'd be helpful.

@Vinny, yes I think so, still not sure and a little confused with what is involved but I learn fast :)
Or maybe just guest posting would be better for me because I spend way too much time online as it is. I'm not sure. Maybe something in between.

Yeah. I could do full time blogging

Athena, you can join as a blogger if you have enough time to contribute, that's what we require basically, your presence for as much time as possible. You'll learn things gradually.

Great!! :D

I would love to read and follow it, maybe write a review once in a while, only as a guest though:3

I would love to do it!!

That'd be nice. Thanks.

Can you specify what you'd be able to do it? As a blogger/ guest reviewer?

I've reconsidered and I think I'd prefer to guest post :)

@Athena: That's okay.

I've been toying with the idea of reviewing books. I have never reviewed one online but it would be cool to start and join a blog group.
It seems like an awsome idea.

Cool. You'd like to do guest posts?

It'll be great to have you, Hannelore!
We'll do every bookish stuff on the blog + share news about the group.

This sounds like an amazing idea!! I would love to be one of the bloggers :D Maybe things going on in the group, like everytime you start a new challenge for the group, you could write it on the blog (:

I'm sorry to say we've already held applications and picked out the bloggers. You can definitely still be a guest reviewer/poster. We're going to make the blog as interactive with the group members as we can. :)

I love the blog I follow it!
