BBAW: First Treasure

I already had my poetry blog, rooted before I started my book blog, way back in 2006. I had met Angelique Manchanda-Peres of Lotus Reviews, via a comment. And she tagged me for a poetry meme related to books. She is the inspiration for my book blog. I have always been a reader, hence it wasn't very difficult to post about books. Although it is not easy to write reviews in the beginning.

Coming back to Angelique, her blog, Lotus Reads, is one of the best. She mostly writes about Asian Literature and her choice of books are wonderful. Many might not pick what she reads but hers is a truly eclectic blog. She does not do any memes or networking. Yet she has a good amount of blog followers and networking. I always read her posts via Google Reader, even though I may not comment. In fact, she is invariably my first stop whenever she posts!
This is exactly what I mean when I say that really good blogs don't need publicity. They find their own niche under their own steam and have like-minded people visiting them. Despite a low profile, she is very much there!
