The blog assignment for this class
is the first blog that I have ever written and have kept up with. I did write a
one-time post blog for another class that I had taken last year but that was
the only other time and it wasn’t continuous like this blog was. I will say
that it was difficult for me to remember to keep up with the different book
posts for the blog. I am just not a blog person and so this was a new
experience for me to post in a blog. However, I am glad that I had the
opportunity to create and post in a blog for class because it made me try
something new that I normally wouldn’t have done on my own.
For
this blog, I tried to find nonfiction books that I had not read or have heard
of before and I used the resources that were available on the syllabus and
class resources. I was also looking at authors of those books to see what else
they had written to see if their other books were about the same topic or
similar. I did think it was fairly easy to comment on other blogs. I enjoyed
looking at what others had created in their blog and what nonfiction books they
chose to write about. There were some very creative blogs that I looked through
and made comments about. Links to the comments that I made:

I share your opinion about writing a blog. Like many things, I am sure that I would improve at it with continued practice, but I am not a big lover of writing a blog. I enjoy reading them, however. I do like the idea of being able to voice my opinions about particular books or related subjects. There is the added benefit of being able to communicate with readers with similar interests when they are able to leave comments.
