What are some tips that help you with blogging?

Organisation is the key. I like to schedule posts and social media in advance so that I don't have to panic day-to-day. That way, I know that my posts will go out, even if something unexpected comes up. Now that I use a bullet journal, it's even easier to keep track of everything!

How many books have you started, but just couldn't finish?

This is very rare for me; I always try to finish. The only one I can think of, where I did give up partway through, was Tristram Shandy.

    I don't like to stop reading a book, but if it isn't of interest, I don't continue any more.

    Have a great weekend.

    Happy Hopping!!

      Thanks, Elizabeth. I can understand your reasoning. After all, there are only so many hours in a day and a huge stack of books to read!

    I'm with you - I rarely put down a book. I can only think of a handful.

    The scheduling features are wonderful - I write a lot of my posts on the weekends and edit to linkup on the day of. It definitely allows time to have a more thoughtful post!

      Agreed, Rhea. It certainly takes the pressure off. I have set featured posts (such as my writing and edit tips) already written and scheduled through to the end of the year. That way I know those are in place and it's more reviews, hops, and one-off posts that I set up as I go.

    I used to finish everything I started, but I just can't do it anymore. I think I've become a more picky reader.

      I've become picky at the selection stage. I'll only accept review requests for books I am certain (80%+) I'll like. That's why I rarely DFN titles. :)

    If I don't like a book then I won't finish it. There are too many out there to spend my time on something I don't like. I tried reading Tristram Shandy years ago and gave up after the first few pages.

      Glad I'm not the only one with Tristram Shandy issues! :)

    I should really start writing my posts up in advance and scheduling them! I am really bad at waiting till the last minute. I am still new at all this so that was great advice to see :) Thanks!

    I hate not finishing a book! I always try and push all the way through but there have been a few I just couldn't. I honestly can't think of the name of them right now though.

      I didn't always schedule so much in advance, but I'm so busy these days, it's become a necessity if I want to keep on top of everything. It all depends on your posting schedule and RL activities. Do what works best for you! :)

    I always DNF like three books every year but I don't remember all of them, because I read so many books. And I don't review them on my blog but the only one that I remember that I just couldn't finished, because of the dialogue was the book All The Rage by Courtney Summers. I just couldn't get into the book and I really didn't connect with the characters at all. Thank you for stopping by my blog Nicki.
