I trust the reviews of those that can be critical of some books - if they are all good, it is hard to differentiate.Booksnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197753056299399065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-24886189070806806022012-04-18T22:55:32.789-04:002012-04-18T22:55:32.789-04:00That it is.

I find it so frustrating when people take out their dislike of a book on the author, but I also hate it when every single review a blogger writes is totally glowing, it makes them seem...ungenuine in their opinions. So finding the fine line is so important!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-87744064413811805492012-04-18T22:44:26.130-04:002012-04-18T22:44:26.130-04:00I'm dreadful at meeting people and doing that ...I'm dreadful at meeting people and doing that initial small talky thing, but you know what?

That's nothing to sneeze at. ;-)<br /><br />I wish we weren't all so far away, too. Even though I've met a bunch of great bloggers at BEA, there's still so many great blogging friends I haven't gotten to meet, like yourself, for example.

I'm pretty animated online but kind of struggle a bit in person (mostly because I suck at smalltalk).<br /><br />I love the suggestions to get involved (be a joiner). Definitely one of the best ways to meet other bloggers and connect!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-6224966630054975962012-04-17T22:38:10.159-04:002012-04-17T22:38:10.159-04:00Thank you for posting these incredibly helpful tip...Thank you for posting these incredibly helpful tips!

I think that many new bloggers expect too much, too soon, and give up because it doesn't all happen for them immediately.<br /><br />I'm taking your advise and commenting rather than shaking my head in agreement and moving on with my morning. :-)Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-47120143935631780362012-04-17T06:53:19.366-04:002012-04-17T06:53:19.366-04:00Good tips! #2 has been my biggest issue for the pa...Good tips! #2 has been my biggest issue for the past few years.
