It's Follow Friday!
This is my ninth Follow My Blog Friday, a weekly meme hosted by hosted by Parajunkee's View! I did take a week or so off... but now I'm back.
My Favorite Authors... Are you REALLY asking me this?!
Claudia Gray, Cassandra Clare, Holly Schindler, Julie Kagawa, Jeri Smith-Ready, Lurlene McDaniel, P.C Cast, Carrie Jones, Jennifer Echols, Simone Elkeles, Elizabeth Scott, Sarah Dessen, Rachel Hawthorne... And I have a few *adult* favorite as well. Laurell K. Hamilton, Gena Showalter (she does YA too!)
This is my tenth Book Blogger Hop, a weekly meme hosted by Crazy-For-Books .
Book Blogger Hop Question:
What are your thoughts on losing followers? Have you ever stopped following a blog?
No, I have not stopped following a blog. Will I, probably not unless someone who 'promised' a certain aspect to their blog doesn't follow through and it becomes offensive, discriminatory, etc. If you claim to be a Y.A. Book blog but you start posting offensive materials (links, pictures, thoughts, views,) I might have to 'unfollow.' Make sense?
As for losing followers? You can't please everyone and while I might take it personally I would try not to. Some people do better having a smaller community of blogs they follow- and that is fine. Everyone has different preferences so if you find a blog that is more tailored to you and your roll is getting a little uncomfortable then by all means...
So, what about you?

Yay me, I posted my first Flippin' Backwards! It is featuring Old Magic and Night Runner. I'm kind of excited of revisiting some of my favorite books I have sitting on my shelves and providing a *short* and quick review to share with all of you!
Not much going on this week. I have been REALLY busy. Hopefully it calms down soon! Also, if you notice small changes around here and some mess ups SORRY! I'm slowly trying to clean this up- still being a new book blog I am trying to figure out exactly how and what I want on my page.
I'll be taking part in The Gratitude Giveaways Nov 17- Nov 27 so watch out for that...
I'll be posting my first Flip-It-Foward soon. I had some tech. difficulties with blogger (again!) and it threw everything off. I'm going to get on this soon! Look for it later today!
Last week I posted my The Summer I Turned Pretty review. I remember I was so excited they had this book at my library! I wanted it so bad and was so glad I got to read it. Now I just need to find It's Not Summer Without You.
Have you heard of Holly Schindler? Check out my Waiting on Pay Day post for a look at her Debut novel! I absolutely can not wait for Playing Hurt. I mean, really, that book is on the tip top of my *wish list!*
Check out my Waiting on Wednesday post for more info on Playing Hurt by Holly Schindler and another one of the books that make my *wish list!*
Special thanks go to the Authors who have chosen me to be part of their upcoming book tours! I am so excited to be included! Neither of these will happen for several months but I can't wait!
Another special thanks go to Bound By Books and Confessions of a Bookaholic for their wonderful Haunted Halloween Author Posts, Giveaways and interaction! It was a fab time and it was fun reading all of the spooky stories from the authors who took part!
Last but not least, the winners of my 100+ Follower giveaway were chosen, thanks to random.org, and were contacted. They all responded and I am sure that at least one of them has received their books! Congratulations to them and I really can't wait to host my next giveaway. It was totally fab and fun!

Happy Friday, and happy hopping! I think we're all bound to lose followers every now and again, but it's the one who stick with us that count anyway! :)
ReplyDeleteHopping by! Old follower....
ReplyDeleteHope you come by and see my answer!
I'm always a little bummed when I lose followers but make every effort to
ReplyDeleteturn every lost follower into a learning experience so I can improve my
performance.
On the flip side, I only stop following people when they give me a reason to
such as being totally off message or being too controversial in an negative,
over-the-top way.
Happy Book Blogger Hop Friday!

Just stopping by to let a little hi. :)
ReplyDeleteI hate losing followers, but with some I have seen where they will follow to a contest then un-follow right after ... that makes me sad, and a little bitter at the same time. But like Melissa said, it's the ones that continue to follow that count!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower by the way. Just thought I'd drop by and say hi!
