A Little Late to the Party ...

I'm a little late to the party this week, but then again, I've never been big into parties :) Except this one. Because it's actually fun. If you haven't joined in the Book Blogger Hop before, do it. It's a great way to find new blogs. Your Google Reader won't thank you, but you'll have a good time checking out all the great book blogs out there. If you're here because of the Hop, welcome! Enjoy your stay and have a fabulous weekend. Looks like it's going to be a rainy one for us, which is just fine with this reluctant desert dweller.

This week's question is: Do you ever wish you had named your blog something different?

- Funny question because, yes, I always wish I had named my blog something else. Way back when blogging was new and I started this grand adventure, I didn't realize that the name I choose would become my "brand." I just typed in the first thing I thought of since I only ever intended for the blog to be my personal reading journal. Funny how things change. When I became more serious about spreading the word, I realized how clunky the title was - I kept having to tell people, "It's bloggin', no g, and 'bout, no a. You know what? I'll just right it down for you." So, yeah, I wish I'd chosen something more clever and something with no missing letters. *Sigh*

Interestingly, when I redesigned my blog a year or so ago (okay, when Jerilyn redesigned it), I figured it was a great opportunity to change the name to something I actually liked. Funny thing about that: all the good titles were taken. I also came to the realization that "Bloggin' 'bout Books" is how I'm known. If I changed it, I changed the blog. It would confuse my readers as well as the authors/publishers/publicists, etc. with whom I work. So, it's "Bloggin' 'bout Books" for better or worse.

More info than you wanted, right? Well, that's kind of the way it goes around here. How about you? Have you ever wished you named your blog something different? Have you changed it? How did that go for you?

Thanks, again, for stopping by. Please leave me a comment so I can drop by and visit you as well. 'Til then, Happy Reading!
