The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Crazy-For-Books and is currently being hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer. Every Friday, a new question is posted for book bloggers to answer in the coming week. The purpose of the hop is connection and community. You can discover new blogs to follow, new books to read, and you may end up with some new followers, as well!
This Week’s Question
Do you use social media to keep up with your favorite authors?
Submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer.
Absolutely! My Twitter is basically all bookish people and authors, haha. I’m so much more in tune with the book community, especially when it comes to new releases, because I follow so many authors and people that work in publishing.
Now ask me if I ever interact with them. That’s a totally different answer 😂 I am the kind of person that gets quite tongue-tied when trying to interact with someone I admire and that includes just posting stuff on the internet. So I’m very much a lurker, though I do love sharing and promoting good news for my favorite authors.
I’m also generally just bad at social media, y’all. I read posts, like them, think “Hey, maybe I should comment”, and then either forget or stress myself out trying to craft the perfect reply, lol. But I’m trying! I’m trying to make more of an effort in 2023. We’ll see how I do, heh.
Haha, that last paragraph is so relevant because same. I always think “oh, I want to be friends with this person!” when they post something that just hits but then I can never summon up the nerve. I think I’m just fated to be that quiet lurker in the background 😂 But that’s okay… Haha

I guess don’t worry to much about crafting the perfect answer but just reply with whatever feels right. Authors are only people after all………..right?
