Welcome

Hello! My name is Ray, and I’m the creator of Passion for Pages Blog. I’ve been thinking for a while now about starting a blog to make a little extra money for college, but I never knew where or how to start or even what to write about. I eventually decided on starting a book blog. Although book blogs don’t make as much money as other blogs, such as lifestyle blogs, beauty blogs, or finance blogs, I knew I wanted to create a blog based around something I’m passionate about. Reading and writing are two things that I am very passionate about, and they will likely remain a frequent hobby of mine for years to come.

Goals

My goal for this blog is to share my love of reading with others who will understand where it comes from and why books can be so enjoyable. I also want to expose non-readers to all of the great books out there that have helped me come to love reading. Not only that, but I want this blog to be a creative outlet for me. I plan on creating some of my own graphics to publish with my blog posts, as well as publishing some of my own stories and possibly poetry in the future.

Short Disclaimer

I do want to let everyone know right off the bat, though, that I will be trying to make a profit through blogging. I’m starting college soon, and I’m hoping to make a little money on the side to help save up for my college years. I may also do an About Me post elaborating on my goals for the future and my other hobbies to let my viewers get to know me a little bit better.

Beginning of Books, End of Post

If you’ve read this far, leave a comment on this post telling me what book or book series got you interested in reading! I always read books from the library or my classroom in elementary school. My favorite series’ throughout my childhood years were the I Survived series by Lauren Tarshis and the Junie B. Jones series by Barbara Park. The first book series I truly fell in love with, though, was the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I read all four books in about 2 months when I was in fifth grade. After that, I began watching YouTubers like polandbananasBOOKS and Katytastic talk about their favorite books, and I soon became obsessed with reading. If you are not sure what books to read next, while waiting for my first book review post, you should definitely check out polandbananasBOOKS’s videos. Not only does she have probably hundreds of videos about book hauls and book reviews, but she has also published two of her own books. Be sure to stick around for my future review and recommendation posts!
