Girl, congrats on the first day Even though we miss ya something fierce over here!

Go, Lisa, Go! Happy day to you today. Enjoy the new job:)

Congrats on the new job! I like hearing a little bit about people’s lives, just because I think it helps me understand where they’re coming from. I guess some people can be kind of TMI, but that’s pretty rare!

Congratulations on your new job!

I struggle. My blog used to be completely personal and I just shared reviews because it was something I did. Then, I decided to make it more book blog related because it seemed most of the stuff I did was book blog related. I still want to share person stuff, but it’s hard to know when and how much. I may split my blog. I’m still trying to decide.

Congratulations on your new job, it sounds like a lot I’ve been keeping a personal blog elsewhere for…almost 10 years now and that I keep completely separate from by book blogging. However, I will randomly mention things on my Twitter or occasionally on my blog if it’s incredibly exciting. For my book blog, I made a tumblr account that is associated with it where I post things I like and book quotes so as to get a glimpse of the girl at the keyboard.

What I do now, though, is just share big event items so that it’s not too much all the time. We’ll see.

No issues with sharing personal life stuff on my book blog, as I have a separate personal blog for that haha. Which doesn’t really get updated as often. I’m just really not the type to share much personal stuff on the web, I guess.

Congrats on the new job! I don’t really share a ton about myself on the blog because I am paranoid about putting too much personal info online. I’m an odd person because I don’t mind hearing personal stuff about other bloggers but I really don’t post it about myself.

I’m sort of paranoid too, actually!! Hence my general hesitation. I like to share, but tend to want to over-share, which can just be TMI plus dangerous. :/

I really hope we eventually meet each other, though! How awesome would that be?

That’s probably a good idea. I think putting too much out there can really bit you in the butt later on!

That’s a good idea, Jenni. That way people are still getting a taste of who you are- but they don’t know everything!

Thanks, Kaye!! It really is a tough call. Some bloggers hate seeing personal stuff on a book blog, but people like me who love the details- want to know everything! If you ever decide one way or another, please let me know! I’ll follow both! haha

I agree. With the exception of my FB friends who publicly break up and get back together every other week, I don’t often think personal info is TMI.

Oh I struggle with the personal stuff too. I never know how much to share, and yet I’m scared to share it too. It’s a tough choice. I want people to know I’m human and not a robot out there, but yet don’t want to drive people away either. Crazy sounding right. Oh well. I’ll do what I feel is right, and hope not to scare anyone away. Thanks!

When I started blogging I had both my book reviews and my personal life together. What I noticed is that my blog for my personal life is really reveling. It is like a diary, I am using the personal life blog to help me deal with a crime that happened to me a bit ago, also I put my homeschooling stuff up there and my daily walk with God. I really wanted to put the two together, I even posted on a couple of sites to see what the population would say. I stood back after putting it together than separate I think 3 times before I kept it separate I think that is better. When I write my reviews I try and and add a little something about myself within the review that way people can see me and not just a reviewer! I don’t know if I actually am doing it but I’m trying!
