Liebster Awards 2017 Blogging Editorial

Liebster Awards 2017 Logo

Hello everyone. Today I bring you a different kind of post. It is more of an announcement, actually. I am proud to disclose that our blog, www.flicks.top, has been nominated for the Liebster Awards 2017! It is a virtual award, whose purpose is to encourage bloggers and to reward quality content.

We had this privilege thanks to fellow bloggers Komal Karnani and Trisha Morton. Komal, with her blog over at www.zistboon.com, writes about the journeys of self-discovery and shares motivational stories. On the other hand, Trisha, in her blog www.sparklesofyum.com, presents us with a vast compilation of recipes, ranging from main dishes to desserts!

Before I reveal the blogs I have picked, I would like to share with everyone a little bit of my (small) journey as a blogger. For as long as I can remember, movies have been a part of my life. There is nothing like experiencing a film on the silver screen; this activity started as a simple hobby, you know, the average moviegoer… But I soon developed a more profound interest regarding the seventh art, and watching the movie became only one fraction of the whole cinematic experience. I wanted more. So, I searched for trivia, filming techniques, actors and directors, even the soundtrack composers: I wanted to know it all. What was once a humble share of thoughts and opinions with family and close friends, quickly became a passion. I focused that passion and Flick Screen Reviews was born. Now I am an amateur critic and share all my viewpoints and impressions with the world (or a part of it) through this platform.
