Jennifer over at Crazy for Books hosts the Book Blogger Hop on Fridays. I’ve found some great blogs each week that I’ve participated and encourage you to head over there, enter your link and start visiting!  This week, she’s challenged us to answer the following question:

Tell us your NAME and WHY YOU STARTED BLOGGING

So, who am I?  My name is Lydia and I started blogging after being introduced to GoodReads.  At first, it was just a challenge once I joined the site to keep track of my reading, but as I started reading more and more reviews and finding them more and more useful I started to want giving back in the same manner.  So I started writing my reviews on GoodReads … and then I figured – why not start posting them here, on my very neglected personal blog.  I debated on changing the name to my blog, or starting a fresh one… but The Lost Entwife is, when it comes down to it, a very literary name thanks to the great J.R.R. Tolkien, and I knew I wanted to stick around here.

So what about you? Are you a book blogger? If so.. how did you get started?

ABOUT THE HOP:

In the spirit of the Friday Follow, I thought it would be cool to do a Book Blogger Hop to give us all book bloggers and readers a chance to connect and find new blogs that we may be missing out on! So, I created this weekly BOOK PARTY where book bloggers and readers can connect to find new blogs to read, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed! So, grab the logo, post about the Hop on your blog, and start PARTYING!!

The Hop lasts a full week so if you don’t have time to Hop today, come back later and join the fun! This is a weekly event!
