SUNDAY POST is hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It's "a post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead."
The September host of MAILBOX MONDAY is BookNAround. It's "a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists."
oOoOoOo
Recap! Here's what happened last week:
Sunday: I posted a review of TEMPTATION IN A KILT by Victoria Roberts.
Monday: We interviewed Debra Webb @ Novel Reflections. (We're still taking entries for the super-duper "Fall in Love with Forever" giveaway through Monday, 9/17/2012.)
I also posted a review of IRISH ICE by Emly Forrest.
Wednesday: I featured WHERE ANGELS REST by Kate Brady on my Waiting on Wednesday post.
Thursday: The AUDREY'S GUIDE TO WITCHCRAFT blog tour! I reviewed the book and featured an excerpt.
I also participated in Booking Through Thursday. The question was about organizing books.
Saturday: I participated in Saturday Snapshot. My photo was the bell tower of a beautiful church in Arkansas.
oOoOoOo
New arrivals this week:
(Bought) The Reckoning by Jana DeLeon
(Review) Deadly Patterns by Melissa Bourbon
(Review) If Mashed Potatoes Could Dance by Paige Shelton
Question: What's your favorite way to follow blogs? Blogger dashboard? Google reader? Other? What are your thoughts on "Linky Followers?"
I have the blogs I follow split up four ways.
- The ones I absolutely must read everyday I follow with Bloglovin.
- Blogger book blogs I follow by GFC (Blogger Dashboard).
- Wordpress and other book blogs I follow by Wordpress reader.
- Artsy, crafty, and witchy blogs I follow by RSS in Google Reader.
Have a great week!

My #1 is bloglovin'. I check it out several times a day and I follow every blog I like there. I like that you can add every blog you read to Bloglovin', you don't have to wait until the blog owner does it. I hope that Bloglovin' will get bigger and bigger in the book blogging community.
ReplyDeleteLinky Followers looks nice but isn't that practical IMO.
The two new cozy mysteries you got look nice.
Happy Reading!
I gave Linky Followers a try (for following blogs), but I didn't care for the set up. It needs some work on being user friendly.
DeleteI'm very pleased with Bloglovin, and I hope it continues to grow too!
looks like a great stack of books! i'd pick blogger dashboard.

Sunday Shout Out
honestly, when it comes to linky followers, i just don't care.... I don't see how it works, I prefer to have people just subscribe to my RSS. I'm on WP, so no GFC. I bookmark people, follow their rss, follow via twitter and Facebook.

I have all my favorites bookmarked and then I visit every blog that leaves me a comment and usually by that time I have wasted a good couple of hours. So many blogs, not enough time. I have Audrey's Witchcraft scheduled in October glad to hear it is funny and spooky! I also like a good cozy mystery and it looks like you grabbed a couple! Hope they are good reads for you!

Silver's Reviews

I follow all my favourite blogs by email, so I won't miss anything, makes it easy to read some email while at work, and delete if it is a review of a genre I don't like to read.
ReplyDeleteAll of the blogs I read are in Google Reader, and I separate them by folder. If I were to subscribe to my favorites by email, my inbox would be overflowing every day. ;)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books!
