- Read a couple non-romance books anyone have recommendations?

No pressure.

Blogger Recognition Award
Thank you so much to Kaili at Entertainingly Nerdy who nominated me for this award. Her blog is amazing and you should absolutely go show it some love.
The rules:
- Thank the blogger that nominated you.
- Write a post to show your award.
- Give a brief story of how your blog started.
- Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.
- Select 15 other bloggers you want to give this award to.
- Comment on each blog and let them know you have nominated them and provide the link to the post you created.
How did my blog start:
Well the short version is one day in late January, I found myself with an urge to discuss adult literature. Obviously, I made a blog because there are some things you just can’t talk about in real life. Mostly I just complained about poorly written steamy scenes.
It was a whole lot of fun, but eventually the wrong sort of people started finding my blog and sending me inappropriate photos. Like lots and lots of inappropriate photos. Not exactly fun. So at the end of July I packed up my blog and moved here and pretty much started over in a more family friendly direction. It’s been awesome so far. I guess that pretty much brings us to where we are now.
Advice for new bloggers:
- Have fun, be yourself and let your personality shine through. I always love when people leave a bit of themselves in their reviews and posts. That’s what will make your content stand out from everyone elses.
- Set realistic expectations. Chances are you’re not going to make millions in your first month blogging (or even your first year) but you can have fun, learn new skills and meet lots of amazing people.
I’m not going to nominate anyone for this one. Honestly, fifteen people is a lot. But if you want to do it, consider yourself nominated. Make sure you let me know so I can read your answers.
Also, if anyone wouldn’t mind getting tagged for things like this in the future, let me know.

I’d recommend for non-romance books Percy Jackson! There’s no romance in the beginning since the characters are so young.
Love, Sawyer
I’ve heard so many awesome things about that series. I just might have to check it out, thanks!

Oh, yay! Maybe they aren’t so unpopular after all. 🙂

I agree with setting real expectations. I didn’t do that my first couple of weeks starting out and got really frustrated with blogging.
Sawyer
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one! Blogging was very frustrating until I decided I didn’t care about the numbers.
Whispering Stories
Wow, great answers. I enjoyed reading the whole post.
