Talk About Your Blogging Quirks
Hmmm, blogging quirks... I don't know if this qualifies, but one of the things I do that probably quirks people is that I'm extremely honest. I'm writing these reviews to help me remember my feelings about each book and process them with myself. I'm not writing to make authors or books look good when they don't deserve it. That being said, I try not to be brutally honest. I will always look for a positive in the book but if I rate it a 1/5, it is probably hard to do.
I also tend to keep my personal life off of this book blog for the most. Here and there I will drop tidbits about myself but not a lot. I had a personal blog at one point and didn't enjoy constantly writing about me, myself, and I. Don't get me wrong, I can do that until the cows come home but I'd prefer to cover other topics. With a book blog, I can discuss books and how they relate to me, myself, and I. See the difference?
I know those are lame quirks but I can't think of any better ones. I guess I ask random questions at the end of my blog which could be weird. In my head, the questions are to prompt comments but they may just be annoying... for example, do you have any blogging quirks or would you like to point out any that you have noticed with me? ;)
I wouldn't say asking questions is a quirk. I do the same thing (and for the same reason) and sometimes man is it hard to come up with a good one. Especially with reviews I try to come up with questions that are not specific to that book, so as to prompt some general discussion with those who haven't read it... and also try not to repeat the same questions over and over... I guess my blogging quirk is that I over-think everything. But that's sort of a life quirk for me as well.
