The Feature & Follow blog hop is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. To join the fun and make new book blogger friends, just follow these simple rules:
- (Required) Follow the Follow My Book Blog Friday Hosts {Parajunkee & Alison Can Read}
- (Required) Follow our Featured Bloggers
- Put your Blog name & URL in the Linky thing. You can also grab the code if you would like to insert it into your posts.
- Grab the button up there and place it in a post, this post is for people to find a place to say "hi" in your comments and that they are now following you.
- If you are using WordPress or another CMS that doesn't have GFC (Google Friends Connect) state in your posts how you would like to be followed
- Follow Follow Follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or just follow a few. The whole point is to make new friends and find new blogs. Also, don't just follow, comment and say hi. Another blogger might not know you are a new follower if you don't say "HI"
- If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love...and the followers
If you're new to the Follow Friday hop, comment and let me know, so I can stop by and check out your blog!
A: I've learned a lot, really. I certainly don't know everything about ARCs yet (I still consider myself a baby book blogger), but I know way more than I did when I first started blogging. I've learned that authors and publishers are *gasp* really just people, and they all seem so much more real and normal than they did when I was just a book nerd without a blog :) I definitely don't know everything, but I'm learning more every day!
Hopping through. Isn't it funny how blogging humanizes so many different people. I was exactly the same.

Nice blog thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteThat authors and publishers are also just 'people like you and me' is also something I recently discovered. I always found them so intimidating :p
ReplyDeleteMel@thedailyprophecy.
Every day's a chance to learn something new, that's for sure. :)
