Welcome to all Book Blog Hoppers
Every Friday Jennifer of Crazy For Books hosts The Book Blogger Hop-The Book Blogger Hop is a great chance to meet new to you bloggers, find some new blogs to follow and gain some great readers for your own blog. Every week about 200 or so bloggers from all over the world participate. I have found some excellent new blogs this way and gained some wonderful readers. I follow about 500 book blogs and am always happy to find more. If you follow me I will follow you.
Here is Jennifer's question for this week:
How do you spread the word about your blog?
(e.g. Social Networking sites, Book Blog Directories, comments on other blogs...?
(e.g. Social Networking sites, Book Blog Directories, comments on other blogs...?
I use Twitter and I also if I feel I have something to contribute I comment on the posts on the blogs I follow.
My blog for the last few months has been one third Asian literature, one third classics and one third short stories but I do read contemporary fiction also and even some YA once in a while. I have various reading projects I am working on also. My latest one is short stories by Australian writers of the 19th century and I also just read five stories by African writers in competition for the Caine Prize. I am very into Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf.
If you visit me please leave comment so I can return the visit-
I will follow all who follow me-if I don't let me know please either in Google Friend connect or Twitter.
thanks

Why thank you for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteI really like your header it turned out great. & real mean read. Is it not hard to believe that a few 100 years ago the men were big time readers and few women read anything. Now look at us!

I don't know how to tweet (that's the correct term right?) nor do I update my twitter often. I just don't have patience with it, but fellow bloggers often use it. I think I should learn how t use it properly huh.
