It's finally Friday

Hello hello hello! Ah, Friday's here again. The whole weekend is waiting, waiting for me to fill it with some reading. I just started a new book today, A Good and Happy Child. It's a bit depressing right now, but it's supposed to get interesting! I can tell it's going to get good, though. Let's hope.

This goes without saying, but it's also time for The Book Blogger Hop! This is a weekly event that allows you to network your blog and discover some other book blogs. How could you not participate in this? This week's question:

How many blogs do you follow?
I'm sure it's in the hundreds by now. Well, maybe not that high yet, but I do follow quite a few. And I'm proud to say that, for most, I do comment and visit regularly. The way I see it is like this - why would I bother following a blog if I couldn't picture myself coming back and getting involved? I'd much rather follow a select few and be a quality follower than simply click that button and never come back. That would be such a shame. Anyways...

Are you visiting from the Hop? Don't be shy - feel free to leave a comment with your blog link. I'd love to return the visit!

Hey stopping by from the hop! I know what you mean I try to stay open but I want to follow quality blogs that I know I will enjoy and come back to.

Emidy @ Une Parole said...

Alison - Aha! The right place at the right time, I guess. Thanks for stopping by!

Literary Cravings - Thanks for visiting! I totally agree.

Alissa said...

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm glad you liked it. :]

Also, I've heard positive things about A Good and Happy Child, so I hope you enjoy it! Even if it is a bit depressing.

Oh, and I'm also now a follower.

Just found you from the hop! And I agree about not following blogs I'm not interested in....I don't know how my number's gotten so high, but I think I'm being swayed to clean it up a bit! :) Someday. Anyway, happy Friday!

Candace said...

I agree about being able to visit and comment. I guess my problem is that I see so many that I love the content and want to make sure I get back to visit so I follow. So it makes it hard to find enough time to comment much on anyone's blog. But I just click through links on twitter a lot and I glance at my dashboard through out the day and click on the ones that interest me. Still don't feel like I get to visit enough.

Well, anyway, I'm already a follower. Just trying to catch up on visiting blogs for this week and wanted to see what's been going on here! Have a great weekend!

No lo sé. I don't know. No idea.
I visit a blog each day and
I visit ten blogs every Sunday.
Je ne sais pas!

Whatever the number, I'd love to have one more...Yours!

Hopping by via the hop...already a follower.

I have started visiting a few blogs each day and I find that is helping keep my google reader manageable and it also gets me to actually visit different blogs every day!

Happy Friday!

Hopping by through the Hop! I really like the name of your blog. French is always good :)

I actually counted individually the blogs I follow. I'm pretty sure I either missed a blog or counted one twice, haha. But the number I got was 88.

Have a great weekend! :)

I feel like I do a better job reading and commenting at people some days than others.

Hi Emidy,

Must be Friday...no, actually, it's Saturday morning here in Australia!

I have no idea how many blogs I follow in my reader, just that I don't (and couldn't possibly) have time to read every post, every day.

BrendaC said...

Hopping by and wanted to say hi. I am now following your blog and look forward to reading some great posts. Have an awesome weekend!

I'm a first time Friday Blog Hop participant so I hope you are willing to hop over to my blog to have a looksy, too. I am intrigued by your review of the book: The Girl She Used to Be. Would you consider it to be a book for adults or YA? Would it be appropriate for a public school library? I've never even heard of it before but your review makes it sound like a book just up my alley.
