How Fortunately, The Book, began:

Well, it’s pretty simple: I have another blog, my main blog, “La tartaruga si muove” (The turtle moves, from the Discworld series) but it’s in italian, my first language.

But I read a lot of english books, so I decided to open a second blog, this one, for all my english review, and as an help for me to increase my english, and to better spread the love for some of my fave english books.

I know, now I don’t have time to translate my old reviews. I try my best.

I will never expected such traffic or love from the book community. Really, you’re the best!

For the newbie bloggers:

Have courage and be kind!

53de59f7ea5109e0d2653b96d8b960fb This quote from Cinderella is perfect for me. I think you need courage to decide to open a blog, and courage to write your opinion about something. But you need to be kind too. Kind to other bloggers/bookstagrammers, and don’t feel superior to them. Kindness is a great quality.

Don’t feel bad if you don’t like what everyone else like! Read what you like, when you want and re-read if you like it! And use GIF in your reviews, because I love GIFs XD But that’s only my opinion, I’m not an expert! If you write a positive review with your heart, and a great dose of fangirling, the followers/readers/bloggers notice it, and they will appreciate it!

Nominations:

Whitney @WhitReadsLit

Theresa @TheCalicoBooks

Breanna @PawsAndPaperbacks

  3. I loved reading through this! I always love getting to know new bloggers! And the fact that you have two blogs! How do you manage? I can barely manage one! Still, that’s really cool that you blog in both languages! I look forward to more of your posts!

      1. I’ve tried to translate mine into Spanish sometimes since I speak Spanish and like to post some Spanish reviews every once in a while, and I always find it hard to convey exactly the same meaning that I meant in the original one. I haven’t posted in Spanish in so long for that reason. I should totally take your example and do it at least just once a week!
