I know I've been accepting fewer of them and I'm happy about it. The way the culture of blogging has changed is interesting to watch.

How is your son doing?<br /><br />I want to see Dear White People--I should check and see if it will be playing anywhere near me. <br /><br />I really enjoyed Watchmen and hope you do too!<br /><br />World of Trouble was really good, wasn't it? And that ending. I'm glad you liked it!<br /><br />I haven't heard anything about the state of review copies and who they are going to--or not going to. I still review books, mostly through tours or NetGalley though. I don't know that I'm a rock solid book blogger though. A veteran, yes, but my blogging ebbs and flows. I'm definitely not as active as I once was. I'm quite content with the way things are now.<br /><br />I have been following the whole Katherine Hale story though.<br /><br />I hope you have a great week, Sandy.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-11820520448082070802014-10-28T09:42:15.676-04:002014-10-28T09:42:15.676-04:00I suppose it's a good thing that I've neve...I suppose it's a good thing that I've never requested a review copy ;) Whenever I signed up for book tours I usually regretted it so I've stopped those. The only committment I have is to She Reads and I usually love the books they choose so I'm happy. I read what I want when I want and will never be a big name blogger and I'm okay with that. <br />I'm glad that you've kept up your Sunday posts :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-88134715058788283672014-10-27T06:56:40.794-04:002014-10-27T06:56:40.794-04:00Loved the Killing!

I'm a bit more selective in arcs I receive, I stopped doing tours. I have more than enough to read,and I have yet to be turned down for an e galley if requested. Book blogging has been a hot topic between authors and publishers. I don't get into all the hoopla too much, just keep quietly doing my thing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02548201017890026662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-51183814941837548642014-10-26T17:15:22.229-04:002014-10-26T17:15:22.229-04:00I've been going through the same thing lately....I've been going through the same thing lately. I have 2 adult kids in this state, the youngest (early 20s) at home until the summer. My son in law school nearby. My husband and I are early retirees but that doesn't mean we have tons of time all day. We have kid issues, pet issues, home maintenance issues, doctors, Social Security problems, more and more doctors for us, and kids, and pets.... life is never quiet. I've been watching more Netflix, and reading a bit less, and reviewing even less...<br /><br />I have been on the fence about continuing my blog but I love to chat with you all, so I've downsized, will be trying to schedule more often, and gave up review books, book tours, and the like. Now I run on my own speed, and if that means one post a week, so be it. <br /><br />Enjoy your week. I do enjoy reading your posts and subscribed a few months ago after lurking here for quite a while. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-62815862299963332222014-10-26T16:12:58.266-04:002014-10-26T16:12:58.266-04:00I'm with you on blogging.
