Book Blogger Hop Friday (Nov 5-8)

Friday Hop again! This week's question comes from Vicki from The Wolf's Den:

"What are your feelings on losing followers? Have you ever stopped following a blog?"

 Ack.  Hmmm, to be honest about it of course it's kinda sad if you tend to lose some followers.  But then again, you cannot force them to follow you if you don't interest them anymore.  I know some of them follows because you are following them or vice-versa, but it's also good to know that really some of them enjoys or are still interested with what you have to share.

Have I ever stopped following a blog?  One or two actually because they already said that they will stop blogging or shutting down the site.  Other than that other reasons for me to stop following (e.g. spam, flooding, offensive posts) have not yet surfaced. I love following blogs! 

Then for Parajunkee's Follow Friday:

"Who are your favorite authors?"

I'm totally for Becca Fitzpatrick, Cassandra Clare, and Sarah Rees Brennan.  They sure know how to rock my boat.  And I guess it's fairly obvious I love them!  lol!  But then there's also Kristin Cashore, Julie Kagawa, Michelle Zink, and of course Ms. Suzanne Collins and Ms. J.K. Rowling.  Anything these authors will write I will definitely read!

Hello Len! Coming by from the hop! I'm an old follower:) I really like all those authors too, but my ultimate favorites would be Cassandra Clare and Suzanne Collins. They totally top my charts.

I really enjoyed The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan, but I haven't gotten the chance to read the sequel yet. I haven't read Michelle Zink either, but I've heard wonderful things about her books!

Have a great weekend! :)

I love your blog design! I think it's important that we remember that people have their reasons for not following, and it's rarely something personal against us or our writing.

I can't get Linky's to show up on my computer, so I'm not on the list but my blog hop is here

Jennifer said...

Thanks for dropping by I'm returning the love. Have a great weekend.

Hi Len! Hopping back - have a wonderful weekend!

Alison said...

Hopping through. JK Rowling is definitely a fab author. I didn't think of Julie Kagawa. She's off to a great start.

Howard Sherman said...

I'm always a little bummed when I lose followers but make every effort to
turn every lost follower into a learning experience so I can improve my
performance.

On the flip side, I only stop following people when they give me a reason to
such as being totally off message or being too controversial in an negative,
over-the-top way.

Happy Book Blogger Hop Friday!

Can only agree:DI really need to read something written by Sarah Rees Brennan, am sure she will be among my fav authors by then:)

Christin said...

It is sad when you lose followers, but it comes with the territory! The great thing about having so many book blogs is that there is something for everyone!

Great authors you have listed! I haven't read all of their books but I hope to do that in the near future!

Have a good weekend!

Thank you for stopping by my blog! I'm an old follower saying hello and I totally agree with you on followers. I would hate to lose any and hope they enjoy what I post about and I would only quit following anothers blog if they quit updating for a long time or just flat out rudeness or drama.

Stephanie said...

Hi there! I'm an old follower, but I always enjoy coming to visit as I love your blog. I enjoy following too.

Have a great weekend!

TheBookishSnob said...

Happy Hop! It is hard at first when you lose a viewer because you wonder whether it was something you did. But i liked how you added that you can't force someone to follow. I agree - people like what they like.

Happy reading and thanks for visiting :)
