10 Blogging Myths—Busted!


I've been blogging for a long time. I've had this book blog for nearly 10 years. Before that, I had a blog about the history and ethics of capital punishment. Before that, I had a lifestyle blog. I've been a blogger since 2005, and I've come across a lot of misconceptions about blogging during that time. Today, we're going to bust some myths.

Here are 10 "facts" I've been told about blogging. Let's see how they match up to my actual experiences.

What I Do When I'm Not Reading Books


Today on the book blog, we're not going to talk about books. (I know. I'm scared too.) We're going to talk about what I do when I'm not reading. Here's a list of my . . . hobbies? Is that what you'd call them? Lifestyle choices? Things forced upon me by society?

Here's some stuff I do.

Books With Fancy Hats On The Cover

Every time I think I've created the stupidest blog post ever, I raise the bar and come up with something even stupider. Today, I'm going to show you a bunch of books with fancy hats on the covers. I know you're all desperate to see the hats, but first I have three observations.

Observation #1: We're defining "fancy hat" very loosely. Some of these items are not fancy or hats. However, "Book Covers With People With Things On Their Heads" is not a compelling blog post title.

Observation #2: Historical fiction book covers are not historically accurate. I thought it would be easy to find historical fiction with fancy hats. It's not! All the characters are strolling down the street—in public—without their fancy hats. What is this nonsense?

Observation #3: A lot of book covers only show the characters from the neck down. Why are there so many decapitated people on book covers? In my mind, all of these people are wearing fancy hats, but since I have no evidence of the hats, they're not in this post. We have to be scientific here.

Okay. That's it. Here are some hats (and hat-adjacent items) on book covers.

April showers bring book releases, apparently. So many books are coming out this month. It was hard to narrow down my list to a reasonable number of books. Here are the ones I'm looking forward to reading the most.

Note: Some of the release dates may change or be different in your part of the world. Don't come for me if they're wrong. I'm trying to keep up!
