It's time for The Blogger Hop and Follow Friday again. The Blogger Hop is hosted by Crazy-for-Books and Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee's View. They created these memes to give bloggers and readers a chance to network, support each other and find new blogs to read & enjoy.
TODAY'S QUESTION on CRAZY-FOR-BOOKS:
If I read during lunch, it's usually water. And at night, I like milk or hot tea :)
NOTE: Vanessa still isn't able to join us on a regular basis but I can tell you that she loves tea. Her fave cold tea is Unsweetened Iced Black Tea from Starbucks. She also loves hot tea at night :)
What's your favorite beverage while reading or blogging, if any? Is it tea, coffee, water, a glass of wine, or something else?
In the morning, I love my American Coffee with flavored creamer. I am a total sucker for Fall flavors so I'll stock up on Hazelnut, Ginger, Chocolate, Caramel and my fave Pumpkin Spice {honestly, I loveeee anything pumpkin}. My faves are from International Delights - I highly recommend them if you like to experiment with flavor!

TODAY'S QUESTION on PARAJUNKEE:
How many reviews do we like to do a week?
We do not post nearly as many reviews as we'd like to. My {Isalys} original goal was to post 1 to 2 reviews a week, but even that wasn't happening. Truth is that reviews don't usually get the same level of participation or attention as other memes so I don't feel a need to overload the blog with them. I would be happy with ONE review a week.
I also plan on doing more video reviews and post ONE a month. Vlogs are a lot of fun to film and watch, but they take time to load and watch and again, I don't want to overdo it.
Have a RELAXING weekend!!
Happy long weekend for our northern neighbors in Canada and those who get Columbus Day off of work!

New follower here! It's so true about reviews.. I wish they got more attention than my memes, but they don't. :(
ReplyDeleteHey ladies! I agree with what you said about trying to balance the memes and the reviews...the memes get so much more attention! But the reviews are the point of the blog. What a struggle! But, it is a great way to make new book friends.So happy to have found your blog.
ReplyDeleteI love the blog changes. Tis the season for black, orange, and ghouls.

Howdy from the hop!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the reviews. I read for fun, and I don't like to stress myself over feeling like I need to speed read to get a review up. I'm a slow reader. I take my time with books. One to two reviews a week is good for me. :D
I love those creamers too!
I have the same problem. Reviews are a big part of blogging, but it seems that memes and giveaways are what get more interaction. I'm too nervous to to vlogging yet. I have a camera on my laptop. I taped a vlog, and thought I sounded awful!! Ice cold water is usually my drink of choice when reading or blogging.
