This weeks Topic/Question

September 6th - September 12th: What got you started as a blogger? Everyone has a story/reason, what's yours? (submitted by Judy)
My Answer
Ok!  You ready!  It's kinda but not very long.
First, about 2 years ago I started a book club called Mocha Girls Read.  

I did a few weeks of researching online about book clubs.  When I was getting the blog for the book club together I keep coming up with various book blogs on my Google search.  Before that moment I never, ever heard of a book blog or book bloggers.  Not even Goodreads.  I was just a book reader that never thought about the Internet and books together except for buying them.  So a year of blogging on the Mocha Girls Read book blog caused me to start my own blog because I wanted to talk about my books.  The books on my bookshelf and I wanted to do things like this.  Meme's about me and my book life.  I just added purses here and there
1.  Because I love them
2.  To be different
3.  Why not?

So that's my story!  What's yours?  How did you get into blogging?
