Friday Memes - 1/10

Book Blogger Hop

It's Friday again! And you know what that means...getting-to-know-you memes!

*Pinch, punch, first day of the month!*

Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee, where bloggers spread the love by following each other.
Question of the Week (Follow Friday): (Coming)

Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy-For-Books, where book bloggers can "connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books!"

Question of the Week (Book Blogger Hop): How do you spread the word about your blog?
(e.g. Social Networking sites, Book Blog Directories, comments on other blogs...)

Now, I am loving this question! Namely because it came from me. XD

I spread the word about my blog through interaction with the blogging community. I am always looking through my Blog Reader in the Dashboard for the latest news, and I read the posts that come up. Then I do my best to leave comments and my own thoughts.

I am also on some book blog directories -the YA Book Blog Directory (but I think the link is wrong there), the YA Blogosphere, and the Book Blog Directory. I also applied to be on the Australian Book Blog Directory a few months ago, but I don't think they have received my request yet. ><

I also have a Twitter, Goodreads and Facebook, which you can find on the right side of my blog.

Hmm...what advice do I have? I think that it's important to leave comments without spamming. It's also important to interact with the blogging community, by participating in memes, accepting and passing on awards, and doing guest posts.

That's my two cents. I hope it helped!

Wow there's so many different memes to choose from! Funny I can never find them and then there's too many to do. It's usually the way.

I'm looking forward to your answers to the meme questions (I can't help but follow another fellow Aussie book lover). Today is the first day I have come across Friday Follow, but I'm taking part in the Blogger Hop tomorrow. Finally.

Have a great weekend!

Happy HOP! I like taking part in the weekly memes because it gives me the opportunity to visit blogs and see what people are up to. It makes it less overwhelming for me and it's been alot of fun. It's helped people get to know me and they come by and visit me in return. Happy reading this weekend :)

Come HOP by my blog and visit
