  1. I usually follow blogs that have tons of giveaways, lots of SUBSTANTIAL reviews, and a friendly author ;) The site needs to be easy on the eyes and convenient to navigate too of course, but those are all secondary.

  2. I follow blogs that review the types of books I enjoy, that do lots of interactive posts such as giveaways or discussions, has a good dynamic with how it looks and the style of writing in the posts and the relationship between the posters (if multiple), and I'll be honest I'll follow if it's a really smutty blog lol.

  53. The reviews for books in the genres that I like to read are the main reason why I follow a blog. I especially appreciate blogs where the reviews are honest without being mean. The giveaways don't hurt either and the man candy on the site helps too! I have found several authors I wouldn't have otherwise because of the reviews.

  54. If a blog focuses on my top two or three romance sub-genres, then I will usually follow them. If they get great interviews with my favorite authors, it really helps.
