Getting To Know Bloggers (1) - Ryley@The Paperback Princess

Why did you start blogging ?  Obviously I love to read, so that's the main thing that started it. I really just wanted a place where I could share all my thoughts and talk to other book addicts like me, so this seemed like a good option! Favorite part of being a blogger? Definitely the sense of community! I haven't been at this for a very long time but it's so nice to have a bunch of people with similar interests who are genuinely nice people. As far as I've seen in the time that I've been blogging, everyone is incredibly supportive.  Do you prefer paperback or digital?  I love hard copies. I've never been able to focus with ereaders or audiobooks, to be honest.  Most anticipated book?   I recently found out that Morgan Matson has a new book coming out in 2016 and almost screamed with excitement. I'd read her grocery lists, I swear.  One book you would recommend and why?  The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry . It's one o
