My First Blog Post

Hey everyone!

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking my blog out!

I have been thinking about creating a blog for a long time and I have finally done it!

With 2020 fast approaching, I thought that I would make a start now and create my blog. I have made it one of my new year resolutions to make a blog post for every book that I read in 2020.

So, a little bit about me:

My name is Andrea and I am 28. I currently live in Essex, UK, with my partner, Ed.

I haven’t always been such an avid reader, only in the last couple of years have I really started to read a lot. I find that it calms me and is always there when I need a pick me up.

Social interaction is not one of my strong points. Unfortunately, I do struggle with conversation and what to say most of the time! When I joined bookstagram, I was scared to even comment on someone’s post, let alone talk to someone who I had never met before! Here I am now, not 100% confident still, but openly writing my own blog for the world to see (who am I kidding, I will be lucky if five people read this!). Even though social media is not the healthiest of things, it really has helped me come out of my shell and, even though I have a long way to go with regards to confidence, I have really come a long way in such a short amount of time!

My favourite book genres are, Psychological Thriller, Thriller/Mystery, Crime, Chick-Lit/Women’s Fiction, Contemporary Fiction and Non-Fiction (Biographies, Medical Non-Fic, Crime non-Fic). I am usually open to other genres however, I am not really a big fan of Historical Fiction (sorry).

I would really love a Miniature Dachshund, I have already given him a name too… Percy! One day, when we are not in a flat, my dreams will hopefully come true!

I think that is enough rambling from me for my first blog post! I am very excited to get started.

P.S. Sorry about the layout, I am a complete rookie when it comes to any web based design, tech etc. Hopefully things will improve with time.

  1. I only started in June this year, and struggle with confidence, panic attacks, physical health, my blog is nothing special to look at as I didn’t have a clue what I was doing, but I hope in time it will get better. Good luck in 2020 on your blog.

    1. Thank you so much. I’m glad I’m not the only one. I really have found my bookstagram really helped me and I’m hoping that this will help more. I’m really looking forward to properly getting started πŸ₯°
