Q: What drove you to start book blogging in the first place?

Easy peasy one this week, YAY !! We finally took the decision one day to go with our dream, instead of putting it off for various reasons, to have our own online bookstore, Beck Valley Books. After much sweat and tears, working 24/7, aahhhh :-) the website was born and all our 5000 books were online. Never really heard of blogging before but it was suggested it would be a great idea to run alongside the website. With little knowledge, I met some fabulous online bloggers and went from zero followers to 9000+.

We absolutely love books, its our big passion so blogging about them aswell as selling them is great!!

Unfortunately no one warned us how addictive blogging would be :-) We now spend more time blogging and less on the website, something wrong there I think !!

Jessica @ a GREAT readJuly 13, 2012 at 8:08 PM
I've loved book blogging as well! Love the people I've met all across the world! Finally nice to chat with people about books I loved!

I couldn't think of quotes either, but it's because I read soooooo much I can't remember quotes that were swoon worthy! Or what page they were on, or what book they came from if it was in a series! So I just went with authors who I knew had characters that made me swoon with whatever they said.

Here's my Friday Hops

I was a featured blogger!!

Have a GREAT weekend!

My Book Vow

I will continue to treasure my books every day

To admire them all on display

There gilted titling on colourful covers and spines

There beautiful designs that seem to come to life

To cherish my most precious book

To hold it in my hands and connect to the story and characters

Escaping into another world as

You gently turn each page

Feeling the books own unique history

The smell of the old pages and print

Books are our history, present and our future

Without them the world would be a very sad place indeed

by Sharon Martin

Our Favourite Book Quote

We were reading a book the other day and laughed out loud when we realised we could of been reading about ourselves or any other bookseller for that matter, we thought you might enjoy the little snippet....

However dull and dingy the shop may have appeared in the eyes of most people, to one person it was the most delightful spot on earth, and that person was none other than the owner of this collection of literature, some of which was remarkable for its antiquity if nothing else.

Bartholomew Stranges whole world was in his shop, beyond it he had no ambition, no affection, no desires. He loved his books simply for their own sakes, not for what he got by them, indeed it cost him such a pang to part with them, that if it had not been a necessity he would have refused to do so. Often if anyone wished to purchase a favourite book he would put a large price on it so as to keep it in his own possession, and be willing to wear the scantiest clothes, and live on the plainest food, if by this means he could keep his precious treasures.....

From Beckie's Mission or Mr Bartholomew's Little Girl by L Marston, published by John F Shaw & Co, circa 1919
