Book Blog Questionnaire

I found this Questionnaire on Wall-to-Wall Books and thought I'd take a few minutes to answer her questions. Hope you don't mind that I stole your post ;)

---

These are some questions for book bloggers and book blog visitors I have been wondering about. I have posted my answers and encourage you to either - answer them in the comments or - Post them on your blog and leave me the link in the comments.

1. How often do you post and how often do you visit other blogs?  

I pretty much post when I have something to say or have a review to share.  Some weeks I do one post and some week's its 3 or 4.

I follow a ton of blogs and I try to stay up to date with them all. I know there's some posts that fall through the cracks since I follow so many but I try :)

 2. Do you always comment, or do you only comment when there is a contest?

Some blogs I do only comment when there's a contest. It's not that I don't read and enjoy their blogs it's just that sometimes I don't know what to say other than the normal 'I really liked that book' or 'I really want to read that one'.

3. When you "follow" a blog, do you always go back and visit or are there some that you only followed for a contest? 

For the most part I only follow blogs if I like them and will want to read them in the future. I don't want to offend anyone but I don't think it's right that people are required to be a follower to enter a contest. That's just me...I want followers who will enjoy my blog and stop back on the days when I'm not having contests. If I'm not their cup of tea then I don't want to feel like I'm forcing them to follow.

4. How often do you enter book giveaways?

I admit, I do enter a lot of giveaways. But I only enter them if I really do want to read the book; it's a really great way to find authors that you may not have read otherwise.

5. How long have you been blogging?

I had personal blogs for a couple years but they were mostly just for family. After those I started a private journal blog which then morphed into At Random a couple months ago...in March maybe? Anyway, I've been hooked ever since. I love blogging and the blogger world! I've made some great friends and I hope to make more!

6. Do you have book giveaways, how often, and why do you do it?

Well I'm still pretty young as a public blogger so I don't know how often I will be having giveaways. I have joined two blog giveaway hops this month to get my name out there a little and both were a blast. In the future I may do one or two a month until I decide what's right for me. As for why I do it, I love sharing the wealth so to speak. Giving is a lot of fun and I love that it makes people happy. 

7. What other booky sites do you belong to?

I am on Goodreads a lot. I'm still pretty new to LibraryThing and FictFact. I may also check out NetGalley one of these days.

8. How often do you use "Bookish Memes"?

I haven't participated in any Memes and I'm not sure that I will. I know bloggers put a lot of time into them and I think I would rather have that time for reading or reviewing.

9. What do you like or dislike about some blogs?

This is a tough question. I'm not into some of the memes and slow loading blogs are a bit of a turn off. On the flip side I like blogs that have similar tastes as me; I get a lot of great reading ideas from surfing the blogosphere! I like when bloggers are friendly and respond to comments. I also like when bloggers share tips, especially HTML how-to's since I'm an HTML beginner.

10. Have you gotten close to any bloggers, just through blogging?

I have made a few friends and I hope to make more :)

OK now its your turn - time to speak your mind!
