Book Blogger Hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to discover and follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend bloggers, and gain followers. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday where there will be a weekly prompt following a bookish question.
Question:
Do you visit every linky list when you're participating in a meme?
My response:
When it comes to ones like Top Ten Tuesday and Top 5 Wednesday I try to click and read as many responses as I can. What I normally do, is first I write my response so I know I am not being influenced by anyone's opinions and then I read a dozen or so other responses. My reason for participating in these weekly prompts is to connect and read the responses of other readers, so it's one of my favorite parts of Book Blogger Hop, Top Ten Tuesday, Top 5 Wednesday, and even book blogs. However, you can only read and comment on so many of them, but I try my best do to as many as I can. When it comes to Book Blogger Hop I actually didn't know that there was a list until recently, but I plan on doing the same thing, first writing my response and then reading as many responses as I can.
I struggle on Top Ten Tuesday to visit everyone because it's so large but have had to admit lately that it just isn't going to happen. I do try to visit as many as possible. I do like to visit as many people as I can though!
ReplyDeleteI've recently just started Top Ten tuesday a handful of Tuesday's ago. I agree it's a large commitment because it requires a lot of answers. I definitely recommend Top 5 Wednesday! And same! I try to keep up with everyone's responses! :)
DeleteLovely blog!!
ReplyDeleteGreat answer. I agree that the fun of the memes is to meet other bloggers and connect.
I do visit every blog in the linky list for The Book Bloger Hop and try my best to get through other lists throughout the week.
Sometimes the list does get to be very large and difficult to visit, but I try my best.
Nice to see you on the Hop. So glad you found the list.
Happy Hopping!!

Yeah, the book blogger hop list is manageable, but some of the others are too large for me to get through everyone.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense! I kind of love the long ones as long as I'm interested in the topic. Other times it's rough.
DeleteI also write down my opinions first before I read other people's posts so that way I don't copy what other people are saying.
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Book Blogger Hop!

Yeah! I do the same with book reviews. First I write my review and then I read/watch reviews about the book. :)
DeleteOftentimes I am stuck on a blog without anything to comment because I don't read the same genres/authors. Sometimes I agonize over what to say, and I almost always feel like I say something that is pointless. For those incidents, I'd rather visit and like the post than comment. But sometimes I get inspiration from someone else's comment, which might be why it seems to take me forEVER to get through linkups.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I have some crazy anxiety and if is the cause of me writing out full comments to people..stopping..and just deciding to delete it because I don't think it's interesting enough or I'm worried I've said something stupid. So I decide that reading it through and giving that person the view is good enough. I'm working on it but it's rough. Getting inspiration from other comments is a really good idea! Thanks for reading :) and commenting!
DeleteOn huge linkies like Top Ten Tuesday and Stacking the Shelves I visit my blogging buddies and frequent commenters first and comment. Everyone else on the linky I try to at least click through so they get a blog hit.:)
ReplyDeleteYeah! I try to at least give everyone a blog hit. I don't always comment depending on how much I am into the topic.
DeleteI participate in the Top Ten Tuesday and Sunday Post and there is no way I could visit everyone, try as I might. I do try to reciprocate though when someone comments on my blog. On memes like this one, I try to comment on all the participants blogs, although even then I don't always manage to. I try to though!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week!
Same here! I try to read as many as possible. I mean it makes sense that we can't read them all. We'd be sitting there for forever going through all of them! Doing as many as you can is great.
DeleteThank you! I hope you also have a great week!
