This is the second entry to the newest series on my blog. I thought it would be helpful not only for me but for other fellow readers out there to learn the tips of other bloggers. All bloggers selected are the best of the best in my opinion. Blogging isn't always easy. I know my blog is all self-taught. Blogging takes a lot of trial and error to see what works best for you. My blog definitely gets better over time. This girl is always down for helping promote other awesome bloggers. As bloggers, we have to stick together!



For this interview, I have selected Heather @openlybookish! She has an awesome blog and I just love her site vibe. We have been bookish friends since the start of my blog. Heather even lives in Arizona like me. I love connecting with local bloggers and bookish people. We were supposed to meet up one day at a local coffee shop but sadly, I was out of town that weekend. Maybe, one day soon we can.
