So, I went and signed myself up for a read-a-thon. And to sign up they ask you to fill this little form with your name and the url of your blog. And I know you can just leave the url in blank, but I'm very good at following instructions, and if they ask for a blog I will create a blog for them. Or something like that.
The thing is, I already had this space and wasn't making use of it, so it made sense to transform it in a book journal of sorts. It even has the name of a book (Catherine Carswell's The Camomile. Read it.) The only thing it lacks is, you know, content. And I can provide that, I thought. It's easy!
The only problem with this scheme is 1) I don't speak English very well, and 2) I'm terrified of blogging in a consistent way. It makes you somewhat responsible for what you write, and a target for trolls and, whether you like it or not, it exposes you to the world.
But I'll see it as a challenge. I'll try to write often about the books I'm reading in English and de-lurk in the book-blogs I follow. And the only thing I ask of you, person reading this post is to please feel free to correct my English.
And that's pretty much all of it.
