Highlight a couple of bloggers that have made book blogging a unique experience for you. They can be your mentors, a blogger that encouraged you to try a different kind of book, opened your eyes to a new issue, made you laugh when you needed it, or left the first comment you ever got on your blog.I started blogging ages and ages ago - first on myspace and then later on blogger.
It took me a while before I started blogging at least 6 times a week. Something The Story Siren wrote made me blog each week day.
Then I started writing up reviews for the cozy mysteries I read. I made the mysteries posts on Saturday - as a weekly feature. I love the weekly features on so many blogs.
GreenBean Teen Queen - another librarian blogger started Tween Tuesday Reviews - which makes me make more of a conscious effort to read tween books
I love the connection between Twitter and blogs. That's were I found That Cover Girl - a unique book blog. It's also where I first heard of If You Like... posts from Melanie from the Reclusive Bibliophile. Here's the latest one on Project Runway. I LOVE the idea of If You Like... posts
I talk about books the most with my librarian friend Jess started the I Read to Relax blog - it gave us more books to talk about (not that we needed that - both of our TBR piles have grown considerably since then!).
I love how the sharing within this community, I love the differences of books posted, the opinions shared, and the friendship between people I've never met but hope to meet one day. I love being a part of this community!!!

I love this community, too! And I've loved your blog for months and months. Thanks for making the YA book blogging community a better place here, and on Twitter. <3
I'm not aware of any of these here, so thanks for the introduction.
This community is the best! I only know of the Story Siren from your list, but the others you mentioned sound interesting. Thanks for pointing me in their direction! I hope you're enjoying BBAW so far.
Awww...I'm glad I'm part of your blogging community, Jen! You've turned me on to some great books (including some of those cozy mysteries) and I hope I can continue to do the same for you!!
