Aloha Friday

FRIDAY
I have a question and would appreciate any help, especially since this is blog hop day and I tend to add a lot of new blogs to my list.  The other day I did attempt to add a blog and I got an error message that I had reached the maximum of 300 blogs.  Has this happened to you?  There are so many great blogs out there that I want to follow, but how do I get around that?  Do you get the same message?  How do you decide what blogs to keep as far as your google reader?

  In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

Book Blogger Hop
Hosted by Jennifer from CRAZY FOR BOOKS

From Jennifer’s site:
  In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and find new book-related blogs that we may be missing out on! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed! So, grab the logo, post about the Hop on your blog, and start HOPPING through the list of blogs that are posted in the Linky list below!!
  The Hop lasts Friday-Monday every week, so if you don’t have time to Hop today, come back later and join the fun! This is a weekly event! And stop back throughout the weekend to see all the new blogs that are added! We get over 200 links every week!!
  Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.
  If you start following someone through the Hop, leave a comment on their blog to let them know! Stop back during the week to see other blogs that are added! And, most importantly, the idea is to HAVE FUN!!
This week’s twist:
“How do you spread the word about your blog?

(e.g. Social Networking sites, Book Blog Directories, comments on other blogs…)”
When I stumbled onto the world of book blogging, networking wasn’t on my agenda.  I just wanted to join in on what looked like fun with memes and challenges.  And because of it and comments I left, other bloggers found me.  I am still amazed at how many followers/visitors that have been kind enough to join.  I, only just recently, added facebook and twitter and am still learning how to navigate those.

FRIDAY
I will be blog hopping a little later today.  For those who stop by, thank you.  I will visit you as soon as we get back.  We are making another long trek for a post op visit.  While hubby is driving, after we make a visit to Dunkin Donuts for coffee, I am hoping to pass the time reading.  Have a fun day hopping, will join you, when we get home.  Which leads me to my Aloha Friday Question.

This week’s twist:
When you write reviews, do you write them as you are reading or wait until you have read the entire book?
My reviews are written as soon as I finish the book and before I start the next book.  Never know when those “senior moments” are going to kick in lol.  But while reading the book, I place a large lined post-it inside of the book’s cover and will jot some notes/details that I think may be important and/or will help me with the review.  Because I am, and always was, a reading one book at a time person, it has carried over into writing my reviews.  What kind of reviewer are you?
