Another Tuesday meme I'd like to get involved in is Booktalk Tuesday with The Lemme Library. Learning, though, to take it sloooow (ish).

Hopefully newbies can get that advice earlier than we did :)<br /><br />Fourth, bloggiesta is one of my favorites as well!

That's awesome.<br /><br />Beverly, I've focused a lot on getting my reviews posted too. Sometimes I just need a break from reviews though.<br /><br />Chachic, I like memes with substance too! I just need to do them more often :)<br /><br />Ashley, sounds like lots of people have their own version of "books they want to read" - how interesting!melissa @ 1lbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292714636311546457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-20437132170860083732011-05-28T09:38:36.264-07:002011-05-28T09:38:36.264-07:00The balancing act is definitely an important (but ...The balancing act is definitely an important (but difficult) thing to remember.<br /><br />I mostly just participate in In My Mailbox, but I occasionally do other ones. I really enjoy 'Top Ten Tuesday' because the lists are so fun, but it's a lot more work to participate in. I sometimes do one that I named 'Future Reads' which is sort like Waiting on Wednesday, except I feature about 5 books each time and I only post it sporadically.Ashley @ Book Labyrinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395484656811182553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-77082847301206880732011-05-28T08:16:31.247-07:002011-05-28T08:16:31.247-07:00*nods head* Blogging really shouldn't take ove...*nods head* Blogging really shouldn't take over our lives! We have to remember that we're all doing this for fun. I love Retro Fridays too because that's a meme with substance, you actually have to write a review for it. And I love discovering other people's old favorites. Aside from that, I only do In My Mailbox from time to time and Want Books, my own meme that features books on my wishlist.Chachichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216391673830772231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-91057107240871644152011-05-28T08:16:21.909-07:002011-05-28T08:16:21.909-07:00*nods head* Blogging really shouldn't take ove...*nods head* Blogging really shouldn't take over our lives!

I try to get to some of them, but don't really have time to post more than once a day and have so many reviews to do that I have been focusing on that instead. I love blogging, but it is time consuming. Armchair BEA was fun - wish I could have gone to New York. Hoping for next year.

It's fun but I can tell when I'm doing too much when my son tries to turn off the computer while I'm on it. :)<br /><br />I've tried a couple different memes/events but I don't know that any are "must participate in." I do like the blog hop/follow Friday ones occasionally so that I can find other fun blogs.kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11221304377970098013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-1349421460816876312011-05-27T16:36:19.402-07:002011-05-27T16:36:19.402-07:00i like how you say 'blogging is NOT my life...i like how you say 'blogging is NOT my life' lol. very true! i participate in Top Ten Tuesday occasionally as well as It's Monday, What are you Reading.Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14025977978080091819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-8570581428295752892011-05-27T12:21:52.454-07:002011-05-27T12:21:52.454-07:00This is good stuff.

The only big one I do is In My Mailbox, and that is only biweekly. I would like to add another, but maybe twist it through the other non-book topics I do on the blog? Hm....<br /><br />It's been great this week getting to know so many bloggers (although I've been getting your posts since before Armchair BEA). Thank you!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209813611833340226noreply@blogger.com
