A Book Lover's Retreat 
replying to comments is a wonderful thing! I try to do it as much as possible!!
new follower!
Here's my FF
Amber @Paradise of Pages
I try to ensure that I reply to comments as quick as I can. I like having conversations about the books that I read and comments are a great place to do that!
I'm a new follower on bloglovin'. It's nice to meet you. 🙂
Laureen @ Ms. Bibliophile.
That is actually a really awesome list! I agree with you completely! I need to start doing all of that. 🙂 Happy Friday! New follower via bloglovin, Facebook, networkedblogs.

Me too Amber. Makes them feel apart of things. Thanks for the follow. I'm already following you. 🙂
Wanda
Great policy, Laureen. Thank you for following. I just added your Facebook to my follow list. 🙂
Wanda
Thank you, Whit! I liked your advice too. 🙂
Wanda
Good learnings, Wanda! I am quite guilty with number 1. If there are a lot of comments, I cannot assure to reply to them all. What I can guarantee though is that I will be paying their blogs a visit and comment to a post that I can relate with. It's still a win-win scenario.
As for the followers, yes, you need to work hard on them. Socialize. Socialize. And socialize.
Following you back on bloglovin and twitter.
Hi Charlotte. It can be quite a daunting task to reply to everyone and I hope I can keep up with the pace. Thanks for following and stopping by. 🙂
Fantastic advice! I can definitely say google is my new best friend since starting my blog. The world really is at your fingertips 😉 New bloglovi follower. Thanks for stopping by my FF!
Meredith
LOL Meredith! Google is my new best friend too. I have learned loads about blogger and coding from there. Thanks for following! 🙂
Wanda
I agree with every one of those, especially number 6! Instead of becoming frustrated when I couldn't figure out how to do something, I realized I could just google it like I do EVERYthing else, lol! I don't even use a phone book anymore.
New follower by Bloglovin', GFC, and Google+. 🙂
My FF @ Donnie Darko Girl
Great advice. People don't realize the power of a comment – even to say you're just stopping by! Otherwise bloggers have no idea who's actually reading stuff and if anyone likes it.
Me too Jennifer. I should endorse Google! LOL
Thank you for stopping by and following. 🙂
Wanda
So true. I have heard several blog owners say that's a very important step. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and following, I'm now following you back 🙂 Don't be a stranger.
Thank you Jazmen. You stop by any time as well. Thanks for the follow. 🙂
