Today marks the start of what I hope to be an enjoyable and successful addition to the world of review blogs. This is something I've wanted to do for quite awhile now, ever since I started reading them myself a few years ago. It took awhile for the proper amount of motivation to kick in, and without the encouragement from friends it probably wouldn't have. You could say that this blog is long overdue, if anything.
I have always considered myself an avid reader, and sharing my love of books with others has always been important. Whether it be through a book club, or just a chat with friends of similar tastes, there was always something refreshing about being able to share one's ideas and feelings about stories, books, and authors. It's a necessary outlet.
So what do I hope to accomplish with The Arkham Digest? I want to share my thoughts, I want to grow and improve as both a reader and a writer, I want to foster discussion among people with similar interests, and most of all I want to add to a community that I love.
So thanks, and welcome. Stick around and join in. Any requests, suggestions, and comments are encouraged, so don't be shy. After all, it's the readers who make the blog.
