And, the memes are pretty fun :)Beneath the Moon and Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826730086083861618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537528832071714905.post-34489033768124678092013-02-26T14:47:03.069-06:002013-02-26T14:47:03.069-06:00Thank you!

I've slowed down a lot on memes (I've actually pretty much stopped altogether) but I see the good in them. I've been trying to balance things on the blog and you bring up really good points here about having an equal amount of reviews and memes. =)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02076975818192994337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537528832071714905.post-8422363917004682282013-02-19T16:49:21.867-06:002013-02-19T16:49:21.867-06:00I hate my computer.

Memes are great because you get multiple books recs and they're fun to read and participate in. However, I do love reviews and I feel as if there are less and less of them and more of memes. So while I love both, I don't want memes to be obliterated, but I don't want reviews to be smushed out either. <br /><br />Did I mention how much I LOVE this post? Because I do. Fantastic! <br /><br />Sunny @ <a href="http://blueskyshelf.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Blue Sky Bookshelf</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343758249538361290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537528832071714905.post-37367840076584809522013-02-19T10:28:05.823-06:002013-02-19T10:28:05.823-06:00I think you're totally right - it's nice t...I think you're totally right - it's nice to see a blog which has a good balance of both memes and reviews. Memes can interject a little light-hearted fun into your blog, but too many can get annoying. They are a great way to find and link up with other blogs though, which is nice. Thanks for sharing that Meme Directory, by the way, it's very useful! :D<br /><br />Catherine :)<br /><a href="http://www.thebookparade.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Book Parade</a>Catherine@thebookparadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045524406179794640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537528832071714905.post-48543624177906813642013-02-17T14:05:57.513-06:002013-02-17T14:05:57.513-06:00Thank you!

Took me a while to feel that way but I am the one taking the time to write and read and have fun, so I don't care what others think if they want to read it they will if not I started the blog for my love of reading and I carry on that way as, whatever.... I used to care and now I have way more fun caring less. If I get books from publishers great and if not I have money to buy them. I mean don't get me wrong its nice to be professional and I am but I blog to have fun so I say have as many meme's, reviews or whatever else you want, I read your blog because I want to. :) Great PostKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718417166334509665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537528832071714905.post-28145728815272618862013-02-17T00:13:02.146-06:002013-02-17T00:13:02.146-06:00I really loved that you decided to tackle on this ...I really loved that you decided to tackle on this really touchy subject, Jasmine, because it really is something debated a lot in the book blogger community, and something I've struggled a ton with as well. I'm a personal believer that reviews should be a bit more present than memes, but honestly, that depends on the type of meme you're doing. Because there are some memes out there that perhaps take even more time than writing a review, and those memes show how thoughtful your blog is, which is something I am really looking for in a blog. So there's not really a perfect balance, per say. But if I see a blog that has a bajillion 'easy' meme posts and little reviews, then that's not something I'm really interested in. <br /><br />Seriously fabulous post, Jasmine! <3Aneeqahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352395407424623520noreply@blogger.com
