I know, I have just recently started posting on this blog
(which reminds me, I still have to sort through all the unpublished works I had
earlier done to share) but I cant help but be thankful that I finally made the
decision to do so. Something about blogging makes me a happy feminist. I mean,
who doesn’t love a wider audience. The best thing? This place is so magical
(and free) that it feels like you are staying in an open community, with the
opportunity to connect with an extensive multitude. Now who doesn't love that
idea?
Oh and yes, with my new found love for book bloggers, So I’ve started
religiously following Feminist book blogs. I didn’t expect this decision to
make me this cheerful! I always thought that I knew just what I wanted out of a
book on Gender, and where I would be able to find those books. Throughout my
life, my practice for finding the books I want to read has really changed and
evolved a lot. This past months, I don’t think I’ve done as much reading as I
did in the previous months, and I have to admit that it’s been a little hard
adapting to post- University school life.
Without
school assignments putting books after books in front of me, there’s a bit of a
feeling like I’m lost at sea. I’m still reading though, but it’s something that
I have to remember to do now, because when in doubt I just wind up with navigating
the web or go through a u tube session. I think I might be posting later about my favorite book blogs, but right
now I’m still getting a feel and a taste of all the ones I’m following, and
trying to decide who has the best advice on what to read on Feminism. Yes, I’m
so excited!
I
never would have realized how many people are out there, just talking about Feminist ideologies and the books they read on
them to trigger action. I try to comment on some of the blogs I read, and let
people know I do value the fact that they’re going to such effort to produce
content and inform other readers. With the internet and the way that everyone
has a platform on it, it can be hard to find what you’re looking for or even
know that it is out there. I hope I get to grab a lot on the thousands of blog
articles and books published everyday, and I’m realizing that book bloggers
provide a vital service in the new landscape of publishing. It is an incredible
advantage for me to have these bloggers as a resource and to be able to
contribute my thoughts to the World through my own Blog.
