Book Blogger Hop

Book Blogger Hop
You can participate here.


This week on the Book Blogger Hop, we are asked:
Do you ever wish you would have named your blog something different?

A: In May 2010 I knew I wanted to start writing outside of academia... but I wasn't sure exactly what, or where, to write. Fast forward to July 2010, and my good friend had convinced me to start up a blog. I needed a topic. I needed something I could write about with passion. And, then, I recalled my love for literature and coffee. Once I had logged onto blogspot.com and was asked for an URL and title for my blog, I knew right away that it would be Coffee Tale Reviews... almost.

I originally set out to create Coffee Tales. Blogspot wouldn't allow the url and title for one reason or another. I still love that name. Sometimes I daydream about changing my title.

Coffee Tale Reviews is a bit longer and it doesn't quite cover the full essence of my once strictly literature and recipe review blog... but I began with Coffee Tale Reviews, and I shall see it through to the end.

    I think it's a nice name. It bring up the image of someone reading and reviewing books while drinking a relaxed cup of coffee.

    Do you know there are a number of book bloggers that have "coffee" in their blog name? :-)

    It's so weird that blogger wouldn't let you use the name you wanted and that you had to resort to a slightly longer name but it still works!

    I have to agree. Coffee and literature go hand in hand with most writers I know, so your blog name is perfect!

    I hope you'll take a hop by mine. http://www.literary-magic.com

    I like the name! Coffee Tale Reviews sounds like it would also be a great coffe shop with chalkboard book reviews that change weekly!

    It's a cute name! And what better to go with books than coffee? Unless you prefer tea of course, though I enjoy both wonderful beverages when reading. :) Thank you for visiting and following, I'll be following you right back too. Happy reading!

    I like your name, it's very unique :). I like coffee, just when I have a bunch of creamer in it :P. I need it to taste like candy almost.

Almost as much as I love coffee.

All puns put aside, I really do adore the comments you ever-so-kindly post. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave a few words. I love hearing your view on the topic!
