I like visiting Once Upon A Bookcase because I like to feel a part of the UKYA book blogging community and to do this I like to visit blogs run by people living in the UK. You also run such a lovely blog and have a really pretty design.<br /><br />2. I visit blogs to both get book recommendations and also to interact with the community. I spend about 1-2 hours a day commenting on blogs and I do enjoy it, although sometimes it is hard work! On the note of book recommendations, I am likely to read a book if a blogger that I regularly visit has liked something or if they have featured something in a book haul. <br />I'm sure there are a lot of other reasons why I stick around our community but those are the ones that instantly spring to mind. Book bloggers are also such friendly people (I'm not saying that because I am one!) and I really wouldn't choose to talk to anyone else. <br />Hope this helps and good luck! Such an achievement! :DLucy Powriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449822423435674409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-70711034748088008312013-03-17T19:20:16.644+00:002013-03-17T19:20:16.644+00:00Thanks Alexia!

I visit to find out more about books I'm not sure I'll enjoy but think I should read, and to find out which books are doing well and get a reliable opinion about what readers like most about them. Also to look at new covers and find out what's going on in the genre from week to week. Hope this helps! :)Alexia Casalehttp://www.alexiacaale.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-2792316116355464932013-03-13T14:28:22.094+00:002013-03-13T14:28:22.094+00:00Thanks, Jesse! :)Thanks, Jesse! :)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828378728962868575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-62594995627862727242013-03-13T12:32:57.838+00:002013-03-13T12:32:57.838+00:00Wow, congratulations!

Try as I might, I can't read everything we stock, and having seen reviews/knowing what people think is a huge help when I'm recommending or reordering.<br /><br />Your blog specifically, I like the chatty informal tone, your reviews are always well thought out and clear, and I feel like you listen to comments and opinions from your readers.<br /><br />Congrats and I hope you have a great time at the Fair. :DFriendly Neighbourhood Booksellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110606733562918229noreply@blogger.com
