There and Back Again - A Reviewer's Tale by Josh Olds



When I first started this blog back in February 2009, it was a fun little hobby. I’d read a book here and there, write a review, and then move on to the next book. As a part of blogging programs, I got some free books, and that was fun. That was actually a major motivation of beginning such a program (and still is, actually). Little did I know that it would expand into all this.
For several months I dabbled in the art of book reviewing. One, two, maybe three reviews a month. It really wasn’t until December 2009 that I began to take this whole reviewing thing seriously. I’d joined the staff at another great site – FictionAddict.com – and learned, and am learning, a lot from them on how to run a review site. While becoming more involved there, I also upped the ante on my own site, beginning to do more reviews and conduct author interviews and such.
And I found it was a lot of fun. Word of mouth advertising is incredible, and with the help of you readers, I soon found myself with fans. What an incredible concept! People actually read my reviews. Apparently. So this is the next step to upping the ante. No longer a blogspot blog, The Christian Critic is going to be its own official website.
It’s bigger, better, shinier, and I’ve got plans to make things even better in the future. So as my last post here, I want to say thanks to all the readers that made this possible. I wouldn’t be here without your enthusiastic support. So from now on, you can find me at the new website, on the link below.
