Especially finding your own identity...I still struggle with that because I have a habit of comparing what I am doing to other bloggers. Hopefully I will eventually get over this :)<br />Thanks for the great post!Just So Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263117231717037961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-69884764793358647242012-04-18T16:45:31.667-04:002012-04-18T16:45:31.667-04:00Agree with so many of your points!

It took me a while to find my own blogging "groove," but curating a personal identity and doing what feels right to <i>you</i> are definitely at the top of my list. When blogging begins to feel like "work," I don't think I'll be able to continue.Meg @ write meg!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15837479897570974834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-78927309783288373152012-04-18T16:25:50.741-04:002012-04-18T16:25:50.741-04:00Very good advice.

It's nice to get a reaction part way through and then see how the reader reacts to the book overall. Nice job. I did a meme post last week just to see if I could get all of the components to work (as a new blogger). But I wouldn't want to do one every day/week and wouldn't want to read only memes. I read book blogs to read about books!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01140033967048452572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-58554668021285107322012-04-18T08:37:36.317-04:002012-04-18T08:37:36.317-04:00I really need to work on not becoming over committ...I really need to work on not becoming over committed. Recently I feel like I've really been struggling with that. I have so many things that I want to read for myself but I have a lot of obligations that are getting in the way.

I especially agree with not becoming over-committed and with writing exceptional content. But, it's a fine line for me...I like a post which is on the shorter side vs. the longer. I rarely have time to read mini-thesis papers which some posts turn into. However, on my own blog, I feel I err on the side of short. It's a very interesting topic to ponder, this one of writing an effective book blog. You had great insight for me and your readers.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-43777591340392291912012-04-17T17:52:34.782-04:002012-04-17T17:52:34.782-04:00Thanks for passing on your blogging wisdom.

But I believe that your job is to write something YOU would want to read, and eventually the followers will flow in. At least, that's what I'm HOPING ;o)<br /><br />Great blog post!Bear Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578314558358852146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-48465382920188841632012-04-17T17:01:04.212-04:002012-04-17T17:01:04.212-04:00I think quality over quantity is so important, if ...I think quality over quantity is so important, if a blog is junked up with memes it feels like they are posting just to post.

It's one thing to make sure you have regular content up but if it's all junk (or all memes) then you're really doing yourself and your readers a disservice.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-89019664302357263082012-04-17T15:06:45.298-04:002012-04-17T15:06:45.298-04:00I love your multiple posts per book.
