“If you’d told me in 2002 that I would keep at it for so long or that so many people would know about this site or care what I had to say, I probably would’ve reacted the way I did to two boys in elementary school who said I was pretty: decided you were mocking me and head-butted you to the ground, shouting, ‘Why do you have to be such a jerk?’”
“Notes on eight years of book blogging” by everyone’s favorite, Maud Newton.
(Full disclosure: Maud calls The Rumpus one of the “many smart, independent group [book and culture] sites that have sprung up more recently.” Thanks Maud, we love you back.)

Having only recently started up my own book blog I have found this set of notes on book blogging most helpful, motivating and enlightening. I hope to be able to look back in eight years time and see the same possible success for my book blog – Just Really Great Books.
