Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list  that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.


This week's topic is: Top Ten Things That Make Your Life As A Reader/Book Blogger Easier


*in no particular order


1. BLOGGER

 For the most part I have been very lucky that Blogger has been so cooperative for me! I know some bloggers have had issues and have switched to Wordpress or other domains, but Blogger definitely makes things easier on me for putting posts together since I am so not technology apt!



2. GOODREADS

Ahh, Goodreads! Definitely the best thing ever! With the book covers and cover descriptions, plus all the other publication info...Goodreads definitely makes blogging easier on getting that book info!



3. TWITTER

I don't know if I would say Twitter has made things easier, but it's definitely made things more fun since I've joined!



4. MY iPHONE

So it doesn't necessarily make blogging itself all the easier, but it's definitely been helpful now to have an updated phone with internet! Which makes tweeting so much easier now!



5. THE BOOKMARK

Yes, the bookmark definitely makes reading easier! This way I can know what page I left myself on and not have to--shudders--bend the pages!!



6. MY KINDLE

I still buy like 99% of real books, but I will say that my Kindle is great for those e-book only's--like Obsession! And the e-novellas that tend to be available in that format only and of course e-ARCs!



7. BOOKENDS

For the very very rare times when I don't have enough books on the shelf, a bookend is a lifesaver to keep them from falling over!



8. BOOKSHELVES

I so want this one! But yeah, where would we readers be without bookshelves?



9. MY LAPTOP

Okay, kind of stretching here, trying to get my 10 picks, but really, my laptop does come in super handy for blogging! Without that, I wouldn't be blogging!



10. AUTHORS

Seriously, none of any of these things would make my life easier if it weren't for the authors I so love! This is me and Maria V. Snyder--one of my all time faves--from a signing back in 2011...in Ohio, had to drive like 6 hours to go see her! But there were other authors at this signing too, so it was easy to convince my mom--my traveling buddy for these things--to come with me!
