Follower Thoughts #1

I wanted to try something new today! I know that we have followers, and that the site is visited daily, but what makes you as a follower want to comment on a post or review? Is there something you read (or see) that gives you the urge to let your feelings be known? Do you prefer to just read the reviews without expressing your thoughts? What are you looking for when you see a post on our site? Is there something more that we can do as reviewers to make things more interesting and comment-friendly?

I love blogging and reviewing because I enjoy discussing books with others. How can we turn our reviews into more of a conversation between everyone? I want to share my feelings about a book, but I also want to know how you felt about the same book, or what expectations you have about it before you read it. I want to talk with you about how amazing it was to read a book that you just couldn't put down.

Should we include questions in our reviews? Maybe at the end? Would that give you something to respond to? I don't want to just post reviews on this site. I want to talk about books. I want to talk about what impact (if any) that they had on my life, and yours. The good and the bad. Blogging is supposed to be about community and discussions. A group of people who come together to share something they are passionate about--and I want to turn that sharing into actual conversation.

Let me know your thoughts!
