Raise your hand if you’ve ever typed in “how to start a blog” into Google or Pinterest. Because same. I’ve definitely been there, and I’d be lying to you if I told you I wasn’t in it for the money. (In this economy?) While I love reading and reading books will forever be my #1 hobby, I’m human and yeah, would love to see my blog make money.

But right now, the reality is that my blog doesn’t make money. I do it because I love it. Yes, I’d love to see my blog make a side income. But I’ve been doing this for about four years now on this blog and while I haven’t made any money, I love showing up here and talking about (ranting more like it) my favorite (and some least favorite) books. I love writing about books and a variety of other topics like morning and evening routines, movies and TV shows I’m loving, and blogging.
