Book Blogger Hop: (1) How much of your day is devoted to your blog/reading?

About the Book Blogger Hop
The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer from Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended December 31, 2012.
 
I didn’t want the hop to come to end, and with Jennifer’s permission, I’ll relaunch the Book Blogger Hop on Friday, February 15th, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt just like before. The hop’s purpose will remain the same as it will give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.

This is my first time participating in this particular hop, and I am excited to be a part of it.  This week’s topic is how much time do you spend each day on your blog and how much time do you spend each day reading.


The short answer to the first part is not enough and the second part is too much!

Let me expound on that a bit, haha.

I should spend a bit of time each day working on the blog, scheduling posts, cleaning things up, but I don’t.  I am really, really bad about that.  And then, I get into a reading slump, and you see things get all quiet and there will be no posts for like, a month or more.  If I spent a little time each day working on things, that wouldn’t happen because the content would be all scheduled and ready to go.  I am participating in Bloggiesta this week, so hopefully that will help me get into a better rhythm, and I signed up for a blogging mastermind group, so hopefully that will help me stay accountable.

As to the reading part, I tend to read when I should be doing other things.  But then at other times, I can’t seem to read at all.  Lately it seems to come in spurts and it is hard to find that book that really hooks me and I end up re-reading a lot of my favorites to get the juices going again.  I need to learn to DNF books so that I can move on to the truly good books again!

What about you guys?  How much time do you spend reading and blogging?  Has your reading and blogging life become all consuming?  Some days I think mine has!
