Reasons I started a book blog:

1. Seemed like a good idea. (serious)
2. I read a lot of books, so... (serious)
3. I believe my opinion is highly valued by my peers. (joking)
4. I don't get to talk about books enough in my job. (serious)
5. Always looking for ways to get paid for reading books. (serious)
6. YOU, dear reader! (?)
