S0, 6 months ago today, Bookworm and Theatre Mouse was born. It was an idea that I had been thinking about for a while but I did not have the confidence to launch it until a good friend, Hayley from Home<\/a>, encouraged me to give it a go and told me she would read it (so I knew I had one reader if nothing else!). I am so glad I did – and here are 6 reasons why…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A chance to share what I love:<\/strong> Books and theatre are my passion and have been for a long time. It is a joy to be able to share my thoughts with you all about both of these subjects, and hopefully encourage other people to enjoy them too.<\/li>\n
  2. The support of people out there:<\/strong> The messages on Instagram and Twitter that let me know that people have liked what I have written and visited my little blog.<\/li>\n
  3. Discovering so many fabulous things:<\/strong> It has been a joy to check out other blogs and some great online companies that have a book, paper or theatre focus. There are so many talented people out there. Especially Ashley King for letting me have a sneak peek at his latest project ‘Witch for a Week<\/a>.’<\/li>\n
  4. Trying something new:<\/strong>\u00a0This blog has encouraged me to look beyond the things I know I love and try new genres and styles. It has been a pleasure to see amazing plays that I wouldn’t have necessarily tried before, and discover brilliant authors and unforgettable books.<\/li>\n
  5. A chance to do something different:<\/strong> Hobbies are so important and this is a great one. It also means that I find inspiration from the amazing community out there for my other hobbies (Harry Potter cross stitch is one of the best so far).<\/li>\n
  6. Looking to the future:<\/strong> The chance to keep developing this blog is something I look forward to every day, learning new things and adding more little stories – bring on the next 6 months!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
