Tips
- Never give up; keep at it.
- Post as frequently as possible! I, for one, hate going to a blog and seeing that there hasn't been a post for a week or something
- Socialize! I've found that being on Twitter, Facebook, and Goodreads help spread the word about your blog and helps you make a few blogger friends of your own! And those friends are some of the best!
- Post your actual opinions! I've seen a few bloggers (who've admitted it) post reviews where half was what they actually felt and the other half was just what everyone else was saying. Trust me. A lot of people can tell when it's not your actually opinion.
- Make blogger friends! This is basically rephrasing Tip #2, but seriously. Blogger friends are some of the best friends you can have. After all, who else can rant about books as much?
- Don't diss an author or book. Using Ann Stampler's words (find the interview here) "It’s inevitable that some people just won’t like a book. It’s their prerogative to say so, although, one would hope, not in vitriolic way. I have seen some bizarre, nasty stuff, but I suspect it is more a reflection of the reviewer than the book in question It makes both viewers, publishers, and authors thinking badly. After all, no one wants to read a book full of hate, hate, and hate, with no reason why or no good things. After all, a book can't be completely bad.
Questions
- How do you keep your content unique and fun?
- What do you think publishers particularly look for when you request ARCs?
- Have you ever made an author friend? Just curious. :)
- How do you gain more followers; what do you think attracts more followers? Besides giveaways of course.
- When you review books, do you just use one "layout" or do you just end up rambling about the book?

Welcome all! I'd love to hear what you think, even if they're lies saying that my reviews are fantastic. I take flattery in all forms ;D
