I'm so happy to be participating in the Shameless Summer Blog Hop from June 8-15 hosted by Michelle's Book Blog , Red Hot Books, & Romance Around the Corner !
Thanks for stopping by my blog, I'm still fairly new to this and I love it. I love to review authors I know and "new to me" authors as well. I'm avid reader of romance of any kind with Erotic, Paranormal, Contemporary, and YA being my preference.
On my blog I do a Tuesday post a "Must Haves" of all the books I want and think you might as well. On Wednesday, one of my favorite days of the week, I post a "Wowza Wednesday" and this is a treat for the eyes. The rest of the week we post reviews, interviews, jokes, and contests. I hope see you back again soon.
To enter to win a $10 Amazon gift card, answer the question below.Contest is open from 6/8 12 am EST to 11:59 pm EST on 6/15. Winner will be chosen using random.org and announced on 6/16 and winner will have 72 claim their prize. All entries contain a valid email address. Contest open internationally.
Tell me what intrigues you enough to follow a blog?
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.

If it's an author or genre I like, that helps. Often if it has too many good giveaways to pass up, that'll push it over the top, too.

ReplyDeleteWhat makes me want to follow a blog is the blog-authors voice. If they write like they speak, and not formal and facts, I'm interested. The personal side of these sites is what I like. Its a big plus if we have the same interests in books :)

I am intrigued by many things, but foremost it is book reviews in genres that I enjoy. I like when the reviews are not written to bash or shock, but just to tell me what the reviewer thought of the book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the hop and for the giveaway opportunity.

What intrigues me enough to follow a blog is good reviews and great variety of genres , because i like finding new authors and books series on blogs its where i usually find all my new fave authors :) I also like a blog that interacts with its followers and yeah who doesn't love a giveaway :D it also helps with getting peoples opinion on books i've never reda or just seeing what others think of books i like :) A blog i'd follow all in all has good variety is interactive non judgmental on authors or books and had great reviews :) Thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteamiee.ryan@yahoo.com
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.
ReplyDeleteIf 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.
ReplyDeletegeishasmom73 AT yahoo DOT com
I'm not really sure, but I like it if a blog reviews the types of books I like, and especially if they have similar opinions to me about them.

Usually I follow a blog if they have similar reactions to books that I do -like/dislike the same things in a book, or if they review a genre that I'm thinking of starting reading, but don't know which books are good.
