So, last Tuesday I created a blog called 'Omani Book Mania', specially dedicated to books and literature. And since Blogger had to fix its bugs yesterday, the blog got deleted. I’m only upset because I’ve spent more than 3 hours working on importing my book reviews from here to that blog and even though I have all the posts here, I edited and added so many details in them on there. Apparently, Blogger says that it restored ALL the data from Wednesday when mine was created one day before that. I don’t know if they’ll restore it but I’m still waiting till Monday before creating another all over again.
Anyways, here’s a quotation from the new blog that I had saved up:
Why 'Omani Book Mania'?
(1) I've searched around for an Omani-based blog about books, English ones to be exact and I couldn't find any. We can say it's one-of-a-kind in town.
(2) Sometimes, I get messages from different people to recommend books quickly when they're in a bookstore and I always reply late so before heading out, check this place for reviews and choose on your own.
(3) This is a special area for us readers to rave and rant about our latest reads, favourite authors and characters. Where you'll actually might find someone sharing same ideas as yours.
(4) I'll publish guest reviews as well. Remember: this is NOT a personal blog, but it's more of a readers' cafe to express their thoughts and share their reviews. You can e-mail them to me on: omanibookmania@gmail.com
The main purpose of this blog is to make it easier for all of you out there to get your hands on the right books. Here we will review and your only task is to choose what appeals to your taste and start reading.
In the mean time, I’d really appreciate it if you send your suggestions or queires about what I’m going to do for Omani Book Mania. Any ideas are more than welcome. If you’re interested in sharing your book reviews or being part of the team e-mail them here: omanibookmania[at]gmail[dot]com
Waiting to hear your thoughts!

I loved the idea so very much. We really needed such a blog!
I'll be following and participating with some guest posts every now and then ;)
Keep the fine work up (y)
That's really awesome, I'd love to pitch in, in any way I can... All the best, I'm sure it'll be wonderful!
Waiting for the link impatiently!
I have never read a book about Oman and look forward to your selections...as an avid reader I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Faith and Noor: thanks for your never-ending support.
Ameena: It's a blog about sharing book reviews written by Omani-based readers, not about Oman but I'd dig out a book about our country inshAllah.
Well atlast here is the answer to my question.
I have been wanting to share my reading experiances since I was 12
It's really delightful for me
