										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What a fun topic for this week&#8217;s <a href="http://www.thatartsyreadergirl.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><em><strong>Top Ten Tuesday</strong></em></a>, &#8220;The First 10 Books I Ever Reviewed.&#8221; For me this is a perfect opportunity to share a little bit about how I got into book blogging in the first place. I&#8217;d always been a voracious reader, and kept detailed journals about the books I&#8217;d read. I&#8217;d often recommend books to others, including my sister, Lori. Lori also happens to be known as <span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><a href="https://www.recipegirl.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Recipe Girl</strong></span></a></span> and has a big following in the world of food blogs. Occasionally. she does posts on other topics like travel, home design, and books. She began asking me to do some multi-book reviews for her site and people really liked them. After doing a few, I got the itch to start my own book review blog and eventually Novel Visits was born.</p>
<p>That first set of reviews, the first 12 reviews I ever did, appeared on Recipe Girl in June of 2015, titled <a href="https://www.recipegirl.com/12-books-recommended-for-summer-reading/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">12 Books Recommended for Summer Reading</span></strong></a>. I&#8217;ve recreated that original post below. Looking back I&#8217;m amazed at how many great books I was reading that year!</p>

<p>(As an added bonus on this Top Ten Tuesday topic, I&#8217;ll be getting in mini-reviews of 12 backlist books I often talk about!)&#8230;</p>
