Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.
For this week’s question, Elizabeth @ Silver’s Reviews asked:
Do you tend to visit the same blogs each week but also try to look for new blogs?
My answer:
I do have a core set of blogs that I visit at least weekly to catch up, reading each post and commenting as much as I can.
I also have hundreds of others that I check in on from my feedly account or from my Twitter list of book bloggers that I’m always adding to!
But I’m always on the lookout for new bloggers to follow!
Thanks for reading!
How do you keep track of your favorite blogging accounts? 🙂
Great question. Same here. I have a few blogs that I follow religiously but I'm always coming across new blogs on Twitter, FB, or even Pinterest. Lots of great stuff out there!

I need to get more organized with my blog visiting. Hope you have a great weekend. – Katie
I hope you have a great weekend as well!
I have a handful that I subscribe via email because they are faves, but I really rely on bloglovin for all of them.

Blog hops are the best!! 🙂
I really enjoy the book blogger Facebook groups. I'm not very well organized, or rather I am but I get swamped pretty easily. And then I lose track of which blogs I want to visit at which point. So the groups are a nice way to find new posts and new blogs. I also use the WordPress reader a lot but not all the blogs I like to visit are on WP.
I have a few favorite FB groups as well! 🙂
There are a few bloggers that I try to visit pretty regularly, but once a week I try to visit anyone else I've missed! If there's time, I'll look for a few new blogs to follow. It's not always easy finding the time, so I make sure to visit the people that visit me first, and then I make my rounds. I feel like if someone can take the time to visit me, I can make an effort to visit them back.
Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?
I hear ya! I try to check all the posts I've missed using Feedly, but occasionally I'll fall behind and have to clear the feed rather than catching up just because it's so overwhelming when time is rather short.
I tend to stick to a core set associated with these weekly memes. I run out of time to do much else.
Yeah, lack of time is such a bummer!
Bloglovin' is a site I really rely on to keep track of all the blogs I follow. There are so many! But like you, there is a smaller group that I make sure to check out all the time (including yours!).
Agreed! I love my Bloglovin' account! I'm so grateful to be on your list!! <3
I use bloglovin and stick to the blogs I follow unless someone new starts commenting. I've wasted too much time following new people who months later still haven't paid me one blog visit!
Ugh! I hate that!! It's so rude not to share the commenting love!
I do tend to visit the same / my favorite bloggers each week. I come across new book bloggers usually via Twitter or here in the comments, but I haven't actively looked for new bloggers in a long time. Events like Readathon are often where I easily connect with new to me bloggers.

I tend to be more into the books than the bloggers themselves (does that make me a bad person)? SO I follow a lot of blogs but check in basically through my "Reader" screen and by email updates for new posts that are about books I think sound good!
😀
I have my regulars and then I try to visit others via hops/memes etc. Time is not my friend, however, and I'm constantly trying to find a better way of managing the list of blogs I visit and my time!
Same here! I definitely recommend Feedly! It's a free platform and you can make various lists to help keep you organized.
I have a few different ways of following blogs, but I try and keep up with a lot of the same ones…while trying to find new blogs at the same time when I have time. 🙂

I kinda have my go to blogs for my weekly visit (yours included) but then I always hop around for more blogs too. Great question.

There are so many bloggers out there I love and try to visit at least once monthly and catch up on all their posts! Yours included 😉
