Hi everyone
Firstly I’d like to thank everyone who responded or reblogged or helped me by sharing the “Reviewer Wanted” post on fb and twitter and if not then just for reading it. Thank You All!
I’m really glad to let you all know that after going through 14 mails, I’ve picked up 5 review-contributors for The Reading Bud. And now I’m feeling so light as all the burden seems to have disappeared from my tiny shoulders…
So let’s welcome these 5 bibliophiles whose reviews you’ll be reading along with mine, every month on The Reading Bud. I hope you’ll enjoy reading their blogs as well!

The house looked right, felt right, to Dr. Louis Creed. Rambling, old, unsmart and comfortable. A place where the family could settle; the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago.

Guest post by R. M. Ridley, the author of Tomorrow Wendell.
Hello dear readers! Please welcome my first Guest-Blogger, Mr. R. M. Ridley: Writer of Fantasy and Horror and the author of Tomorrow Wendell.
A couple of months ago, through my blog The Reading Bud, I had the pleasure of reading his book and I was totally spellbound by it’s fascinating plot.
Visit his blogCreativity From Chaos to know more about him.
Presenting R. M. Ridley…
When Heena asked me to do a guest blog post I was honored, delighted, and completely at a loss. What did I know about writing? What made me an expert in any way? How could I claim to hold profound knowledge previously untold?
The answer is that I don’t.
What I do have is a smattering of experience backed up by a lot of support. And maybe that is the key. Maybe that is what I should share—support.
With the help of McKeena…

My Author Blog
Hi guys!
My name is Heena Rathore P. and I’m a writer in progress. This is my 3rd blog and I hope that all the readers of my other two blogs as well as the new readers have a great time browsing though this blog.
I blog at The Reading Bud, which is a book blog.
I’m presently working on my first novel (contemporary romance) and in the process I’m getting to learn a lot of things which I’d love to share with my readers and fellow bloggers!
I hope you have a great week!
Regards
Heena Rathore P.
(or as most of you know, The Reading Bud!)
Hi folks! Like most of the bloggers, I love participating in memes and prompts related to books and blogging. My favorite one being Top Ten Tuesdays! I’ve also decided to create a small weekly meme named Word Of The Week.
I know how much vocabulary means to each and everyone in the blogosphere. Whether you are a writer or not, you still need a pretty well developed vocab in order to express yourself perfectly. I’m a fan of fancy words and I try to keep up with the latest slang. Being a book-blogger and an avid reader I come across atleast dozens of new words every week. I note them down in my book (it’s my personal vocab builder), but it is quite hard to remember them all until I start using them often. So as a solution to this problem, I’m starting this meme ‘Word of the Week‘ (WOW) in which one can share stuff about “one” word per week.
Basically, it’s a lax version of NaNoWriMo for book bloggers. The author at Book Bumblings created prompts for each day, discussing different topics around books, blogging, and books + blogging. Visit here to know more about this prompt.
Week #1
1 – History of Your Blog – Tell us how you got started! When did you start your blog? Why? What have been some of your trials and tribulations? How many pigs did you have to sacrifice to get people to see your Facebook posts?
I’ve always been an avid reader. Call me crazy, but I’ve always been attracted to ‘something’, but never was I ever able to point out exactly what it was. I used to have this undeniable urge to discuss a book that just read with anyone who’s read it. Once I spent 2 hours talking to my cousin about ASOIAF (he’s the one who actually introduced me to the series.) We debated like cats and dogs and it really gave me a kick. Anyone who knows me well knows that I’m really opinionated and well, that was where I thought that reviewing will be good for me.
