Well, I haven't been able to ge...Hey, Kristyn!<br /><br />Well, I haven't been able to get back to you until now, but here I am! Just wanted to comment on your answers to my questions.<br /><br />1.) Those are all wonderful memes! I'd also like to recommend "Shelf Candy Saturday", hosted by Stephanie @ Five Alarm Book Reviews. I participate in that one, as well as in "Waiting On Wednesday", hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. But you already have a Wednesday meme. Hope you decided to participate in the Saturday one! I LOVE featuring great-looking book covers, as well as seeing other bloggers' picks!!<br /><br />2.) I LOVE this answer! You're absolutely right -- it IS more important to build relationships than have a lot of followers. Wish every blogger felt this way...<br /><br />3.) Yes, Rachel @ parajunkee.com has that WONDERFUL "Blogging 101" feature! I've consulted it myself a few times! I've also read a Dummies book on blogging for beginners.<br /><br />4, 8, and 9.) WOW!! I will definitely steer clear of that Bathory book! You referred to it in THREE answers!! I swear I will NEVER ever pick it up, wherever I might see it!! Lol.<br /><br />5.) I've been thinking of doing blog tours myself. I'm a bit hesitant, though, because of my work schedules. I would feel pressured to read a book by a certain deadline. And I have SO many books on my shelves that I have yet to read!! However, if you're interested, let me know, and I'll get you some links. I know a couple of tour organizers -- online, not in person, of course.<br /><br />6.) Excellent answer! I agree with you 100%!! And I LOVE Regency romances, too!! <br /><br />7.) Again I concur. SOME romance novels might indeed be "trashy", but definitely not the entire genre! I think this is an overgeneralization, so I'm happy you answered the way you did!! Besides, we would have to then say that novels like "Jane Eyre" and "Pride and Prejudice" are "trsshy", wouldn't we? Speaking of Regency romance, are you familiar with the novels of Mary Balogh? She's my favorite Regency romance writer!! You've probably heard of her, I'll bet!<br /><br />9.) One of the things that would do it for me is a lot of profanity. I especially detest "the F bomb" and "the MF bomb"!! Very, very graphic sex scenes also disgust me (you know, kinky sex and such), but I do enjoy tastefully-written scenes that are very romantic! A lot of blood and gore is another major turnoff for me, in spite of the fact that I love vampire fiction. However, the vampires I love are of the Edward Cullen variety!! Lol.<br /><br />10.) Oh, very well put!! Again, I wholeheartedly concur!! Everything you said is right on the money!! YAY!! <br /><br />Thank you so much for answering my questions!! I greatly enjoyed reading your answers! <br /><br />I'll have my answers to your own questions up as soon as I get a chance! Now, off to bed I go...gotta wake up early for "another day in Paradise"...UGH! Well, at leaat next week I'll have a mmini-vacation! <br /><br />Hope you're getting ready for the weekend!! : )<br /><br />Maria @ http://anightsdreamofbooks.blogspot.com/Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676520402744864435.post-54845918406120896722012-03-06T06:28:18.249-06:002012-03-06T06:28:18.249-06:00Thanks for tagging me!

I'll include it as part of my Friday discussion post.<br /><br />For book tours, I would suggest checking out <a href="http://bewitchingbooktours.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Bewitching Book Tours</a>. Roxanne does an amazing job with it, and there are always a ton of tours going on. They are all ebook tours, and most have a paranormal and/or romance slant to them.Sarah Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10671051704990208661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676520402744864435.post-28748332220945229652012-03-05T22:07:36.981-06:002012-03-05T22:07:36.981-06:00Hey, Kristyn!

Lol!<br /><br />Love your answers!! I'll be sure to leave a more detailed comment tomorrow, since I'm about to go to bed. It's now 11:04 PM here in Miami, Florida. Gotta wake up at 7:00 AM!!
