I'm a student about to go to high school and it's going to be hell for me to try and keep a consistent flow of posts on my blog and I don't want it to become a burden either. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, but I'll probably figure it out. I stepped back this month and probably for the rest of June because I have Provincial exams to study for anyways!<br /><br />Leanne @ <a href="http://escapingwithbooks.blogspot.ca" rel="nofollow">Escaping With Books</a>Leanne Yanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12896622699037734102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091584537195738879.post-41953422920879375822013-05-30T15:13:14.095-04:002013-05-30T15:13:14.095-04:00I agree!

As soon as blogging begins to feel more like 'work' than 'play', you should probably step back and figure out things or you're going to end up burned out.

I love history and novels that incorporate real historical figures and events are my preference since I like to learn a thing or two about the past as I'm reading (historical accuracy is very important to me as a reader).

I'm a baby book blogger and it's so easy to be discouraged when I see people with 354864152168 followers and I'm sitting here with 6. But they are my 6! And they like me for me, so that's all I can ask. :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610966999634245163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091584537195738879.post-64577531705087245392013-05-29T09:10:45.838-04:002013-05-29T09:10:45.838-04:00How to be a better blogger is a loaded question, b...How to be a better blogger is a loaded question, but I really liked your answer.
