Help

Ok guys I need your help.  I really want to be able to blog about books and not have to spend a ton of money doing it.  We all know I love to read and so I found several publishing companies that will send me books for free to blog about.  However, I have to have at least 30 followers on my blog.  I know my other blog is new but if you could follow it, that would be great.  If you don't want to read it, that's fine.  It just has to publicly show that I have 30 or more followers.  If you know someone else who might be interested in my other blog, send it on.  The link if http://onandofftheshelf.blogspot.com/.  Thanks!

New Blog

I don't blog much anymore but thought I would try and blog about the books I read.  I started a new blog http://onandofftheshelf.blogspot.com/.  I am going to try and right about the books right after I finish them so they are fresh in my mind.  If anyone has any tips or can give me feedback, that would be great.  I posted 2 posts already and am working on a third on a book I read last week.

Update

I got really slack about blogging.  Obviously, I haven't blogged in almost a year.  This year I've started out trying to read through this huge stack of books I've got.  I started with Seven by Jenn Hatmaker, then read Unglued by Lysa Terkeurest.  After that, Kisses from Katie by Katie Davis.  Currently, I'm reading A Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp.  However, I've put that book aside for a little bit to read Orphan Justice by Johnny Carr.  I've spent the last couple of months thinking about orphans and the living situations they experience in overseas orphanages.  While looking at the Christian Alliance for Orphans website, I ran across Both Ends Burning.  I'm super excited about seeing the documentary they have made called Stuck watching the preview has changed my outlook on a lot of things.  I think everyone should look at the preview http://buy.stuckdocumentary.com/.    Another site I've been visiting has been amazima.  So many other neat things I've found but that's all for now.
