Tuesday Thingers: Early Reviewers

Today's question: Early Reviewers- do you participate? How many books (approximately) have you received through the program? Have you liked them generally? What's your favorite ER book? Do you participate in the discussion group on LT?

I decided to join in the fun today because I have an answer to this question! Yes, I participate in Early Reviewers and love it. In fact, I think I owe LT's ER discussion group for discovering many of my favorite bloggers. :)

I've received 7 books through the program, but only really during 5 cycles...last month (August) the book I "won" came with the complete series--3 books total. I really felt like I scored because only 10 people were chosen. I haven't hated any of the books like Marie, lol, but some were better than others. This month I got Allison Brennan's latest, which I'm certain I will enjoy.

My favorite that I've managed to read so far is probably The Richest Season...but I haven't read last month's or this month's yet. (the Read-a-thon is coming!)

I participate in the discussion group where my latest favorite thread is someone who is sick of the program because they haven't received any books lately. While I can sympathize with their disappointment, it's a bit ridiculous to complain about something that is optional and really just a bonus. But people in the ER group tend to bicker a little over things like the algorithm and whether or not the books are really free if you have to write a review. I love them anyway...book people are my people.

Tuesday Thingers: Memes

Today's question is only marginally about LibraryThing but I thought it might be a fun question anyway. It's more about blogging. Everyone who participates in Tuesday Thingers has a blog- some have a book blog, some have several, some have blogs that are more personal, etc.- and we've all chosen to participate in this particular way of networking to build traffic, get to know each other, etc. So my question is: what other weekly memes or round robins do you participate in? Is this the only one? Why Tuesday Thingers and not some other weekly Tuesday meme? Or do you do more than one?

Hello LTers I'm back! I loved this question, so I had to jump in!

I have no commitment to participating in any meme all the time. Sunday Salon is the only one that I try to do every week, because it's a lot more open on what you write about. Sometimes I look at the questions on Booking Through Thursday or Tuesday Thingers and have no answer! :)

I love Booking Through Thursday, Thursday Thirteen, Music Monday, Watercooler Wednesday, Positive Post Tuesday and there are some others I'd like to try sometime like Friday Finds. I actually got to thinking that monthly carnivals work a little better for me...like 5 Minutes for Books What's On Your Nightstand or Daily Mish Mash's Movie Madness Carnival.

I enjoy the interaction provided by these memes, and I try to participate when I can. But let's face it...I have to reign in the amount I post already and I don't want people skipping over my blog because I update 20 times daily!

How about you? What are your favorite memes? How often do you participate?
