Dear Visitors,
A couple of weeks ago I deleted my Blogroll from my sidebar. I had several reasons for doing so and ultimately am pleased with my decision. I have decided to follow Danielle's lead and share my monthly visitors (not including challenge posts with Mister Linky) in this fashion.
The intent for my blog was purely to have a record and a little blurb (not a true review) of the books I have read. Never did I expect to receive comments (except from SuziQoregon who made me venture into the blogosphere in the first place) and meet such wonderful people - let alone discover so many book blogs, which have increased my TBR list tenfold! It's been a delightful experience and I want to thank all of those below who stopped by and left a comment during the month of March. Your comments make blogging about my books even more special. I appreciate you tremendously and hope you'll stop by again.
Happy Reading, my blogosphere friends!
Look Who Stopped By!
*PLEASE INFORM ME OF ANY ERRORS!*

Oh I am so glad you did this. I do so much better with 'lists' than random visiting from comments...I am off to 'explore' your friends' blogs. ;)
ReplyDeleteI like this idea! I may just have to steal it! ;) I don't have a blogroll on my main blog either. I just couldn't do it because I was scared somebody wouldn't be on it and feel left out. I rectified that with my "Top Ten Commentators" which fluctuates depending on who leaves comments. In fact Joy, you're number 5!
ReplyDeleteDanielle ~ Thanks for the idea! :)
ReplyDeleteMaw Books ~ I LOVE the idea of "Top 5 Commentators"; however, I haven't seen a widget for things like that. (never looked either) :)
That list looks great - I'm at the top I notice!
ReplyDeleteI've never done a blogroll, I wasn't quite sure the purpose of the roll, other than to list the blogs you like to visit. this was fun to see.
I am always visiting Joy, sometimes just via bloglines, and now always commenting! I enjoy seeing what you have read!
ReplyDeleteRaidergirl3 ~ You must have posted on March 31st because I started there and went backwards. :)
ReplyDeleteMarg ~ Glad you do! :) Thanks!
What a great idea! I do have a blog roll but I feel like I'm always behind on updating it. This is definitely a nice way to give a shout out to all the bookish friends :)
ReplyDeleteEver since I started using Google Reader and stopped using my blogroll to link to my favorite blogs I've thought about deleting mine as well. Part of the reason why I haven't yet is because when I first started blogging I relied heavily on other's blogrolls to find new blogs (including your HUGE list).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for the shout out!
Iliana ~ I thought it was a good idea, too! :) Other than a "Thank You!", it's an added plug for commenters to receive new visitors.
ReplyDeleteTrish ~ I did too, Trish. Blogrolls were actually my soul source for a long time. However, I think this is a great way to thank and recognize those who comment. I have a month to figure out my format. I need a picture or something. This time I had a lot to say. Love my smiley guy though. :)
My Google Reader account has (as you can probably guess) umpteen subscriptions. I love that feature!
It is a very nice idea, Joy. I've been toying with different ideas about my blog roll. It's easy to get behind and I haven't updated it in ages.
ReplyDeleteI tend to use my Google Reader more often than not to follow my favorite blogs and those who I am not subscribed to, I visit based on comments. I do sometimes still use other people's blog rolls to find new blogs when I'm feeling the urge to surf the web, but that's about it.
I think this is a really good idea. And thanks for listing all these blogs. I will say that though I do still have a blogroll, I don't add to it too much. I have to limit the time I spend reading blog or I won't ever have time to actually read books! LOL
ReplyDeleteLiterary Feline ~ I follow comment links as well. Searching on Google Reader has been fun, but I need to stop! :)
ReplyDeleteKay ~ Same here, Kay, same here! It's not just blogs though, I have learned to skim when needed. :) I spend a lot of time on the computer in general - that limits my book reading!
Joy - I'm not familiar with Blogger so I couldn't tell you if they have anything like a "Top Commentators" widget. I self-host Wordpress on my own domain which gives me a lot of flexibility. I do enjoy having it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy! Whilst pretending to work today I am going to explore all these lovely blogs! Thanks for making my Monday more interesting!!
ReplyDeleteThat really is a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd I guarantee I'll be back...I couldn't stay away if I wanted to. And why on earth would I want to? Stay away, that is.
Maw Books ~ I just looked up the word "commenter" and there is such a word. Whew! I like commentator better though. :) I still haven't looked for a widget. For now, I think I'll do this. And, I really like your blog. It has some neat features.
ReplyDeleteDot ~ Hope you had fun exploring all the blogs!
Debi ~ Thank you, Debi. You are a ray of sunshine every time you comment. :)
What a great idea! I might start this as well. I have been feeling really bad about not visiting or commenting around the blogisphere (or even replying to posts on my own blog) as much as I usually do, and this is a great idea to send out some love!
ReplyDeleteNyssaneala ~ You shouldn't have any worries about the blogosphere. You have your hands full right now! And they are right where they need to be. :)
