Top Ten Tuesday
This is a weekly Meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish Where Fellow Book Bloggers Share The Top Ten of The Given Subject.
Top Ten Blogging Confessions
1. I have no idea how to use the common blogging sites Netgallery and Bloglovin. Even though I have an account, I have no idea what it is for let alone how to use it.2. I have been blogging for a year and I still don't have a clue how to make my design look more professional. I am still discovering new things every day such as InLinkz.
3. Sometimes I still get upset over the lack of comments on my actual reviews. Maybe one day will I get into the big blogging world!
4. I have contemplated giving up Mythology Monday more than once due to no one else joining in, however I stuck with it and hope for the future.
5. When I reviewed the first book that was requested by an author I was wary about saying anything bad to upset them....
6. I tend to sometimes write so many reviews at once that I get bored of reviewing. Note to self: Little and Often!
7. I sometimes take so long to get round to writing a review that I just cut that book off my list completely.
8. I am very behind in the books that are up and coming and current. To be honest I just read the backlog of books I have on my shelf at home and hope that I am promoting alternative old books for my readers instead of the new books out.
9. I am sometimes very bad at revealing spoilers. This is because I can't help but have to discuss the big twists that make the book so spectacular. Just look out for the warnings in my post!
10. I run out of time to go and look at so many other blogs now. I used to read loads via email subscription. Now I can only fit in the odd couple here and there.

I feel sad when I only get a few comments. But it seems that the more I comment on others' blogs, the more visitors (and comments!) I get.
Here's My Blogging Confessions!
Oh, your feature sounds very cool :) I think I'll take part next week (better get my thinking cap on!).
Love your list :) I wish I had a better design too.

Haha! I just figured out how to use Netgalley yesterday! I'm sure someone would be willing to help you figure it out. :) I bought my blog template on Etsy! There are tons of people there who can design and install your template to make your blog exactly what you want! And I totally know how you feel about your comments. I've only been at it for three months and it bums me out that I seem to only get comments on memes. Oh well... I do agree that the more you comment elsewhere, the more comments you get. And number five is on my list too! Great list!
Here are my Confessions!
I don't know how bloglovin works at all either so I try to stay away. Mythology Monday sounds cool, maybe I'll join in next week so don't get rid of it!

I love Bloglovin, because I can read snippets of all the blogs I follow (since it is obviously impossible to read everyone's posts every day!) and then decide which I MUST read. While I understand Netgalley, it scares the crap out of me ;) Mainly because I cannot get Google Analytics to work for anything, so I have no idea how to report stats :/
As for review comments, I find that even on the "big" blogs, they are a little sparse sometimes. (Don't get me wrong, I still totally stress about it, but it makes me stress a bit less, so maybe it will help you too!)
And the blog look thing.. ugh. I literally tried for months and months, learned more html than I ever intended to learn, and eventually gave up and paid someone. There are more inexpensive designs out there, and I justified it as me not going crazy trying to design myself, since I was very obviously bad at it/hated it ;)
NetGalley and Bloglovin' are both really easy to use. It just takes a little time to get used to the way they're set up. I love both sites and use them often.
Oh wow, it's like you read my mind! Except for number 6....I wish I had that problem.
Thank You :) I would love to have you take part!
That is what i will attempt to do :)
Thanks for the advice :) Good luck with your own blog!
Thanks! I would love you to take part!
ah is that was bloglovin and netgallery are for :P Thanks for the advice :)
I will make sure I go on them more often and try and learn how to use them!
Haha, thats cool :)

Alternative old books are great! I personally take a long time to feel excited about anything, so when blogs are focussed on new releases, I don't find much of interest in them. On the other hand, I've finally started reading the novels which came out in the wake of Twilight, and now it's a pleasure to go through the archives of those blogs and read their old reviews. =)
My own meme is just a feature now, because people stopped joining two years ago. I was gutted when it happened, but I still like writing about settings even if no one else does, so I still keep it up. It's not as regular as it used to be, though!
