But then I think about the time suck, and I just don't do it. If I did, I would probably use it to follow authors, but whenever I read about all of the drama going on with bloggers, etc. I'm pretty glad I'm completely clueless.<br /><br />And book swag…don't get it, to be honest. I love books, but everything else? Just clutter for me. ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-28298035150521927182014-08-31T00:50:47.670+01:002014-08-31T00:50:47.670+01:00I have no idea what to do with mine, I use it very...I have no idea what to do with mine, I use it very rarely now.

I'm also afraid of losing even more time just browsing a social page instead of creating meaningful content for my blog / working. <br />You reminded me that I haven't seen The Book Thief yet, so thanks!

Twitter...I suffer through. lol I auto tweet from FB and the blog there and will go in and reply back if someone tags me but that's about it. I have other social media--tumblr, instagram, G+, etc but am hit or miss with them if I actually log in and use them.

Re: book swag: I agree, I don't bother with swag for books I haven't read. I was super excited when Chris Holm sent me some bookmarks <i>after</i> learning I loved his books, though. And I would be excited for swag from Kameron Hurley's new book, because she's cool. But for unknown authors/books, naaah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-2767028232412066132014-08-28T19:38:55.095+01:002014-08-28T19:38:55.095+01:00Oh man.

But I think I am going to take your advice and just enjoy the film. All I remember is loving the book and sobbing. Lol. It's on Netflix right now, so I definitely need to make time to watch it this weekend. :)<br />Twitter is definitely the easiest way to connect with authors. Most are very quick to respond or like your tweet. I also follow quite a few authors on Instragram and Goodreads. Oh social media, makes is so much easier to stalk your fave authors.<br />Happy reading!<br />Brittany @ <a href="http://thisisthestoryofmyreadinglife.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow"> This is the Story of My(Reading) Life </a>BrittanyLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10645210938042967995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-60118697504508664542014-08-28T18:02:20.487+01:002014-08-28T18:02:20.487+01:00I am right there with you about what to post on yo...I am right there with you about what to post on your blog's FB page! I've had mine up since last year and I so rarely use it. Instagram I just started using in connection with my blog. I love the filters for their app so I always have fun sharing new books that way :)<br /><br />I have found a number of great authors to follow on Twitter today because of this topic! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-59146637076024372262014-08-28T17:15:15.710+01:002014-08-28T17:15:15.710+01:00"I took six pages worth of notes whilst watch..."I took six pages worth of notes whilst watching this movie, and they are pretty much just nonsensical scribblings of a highly emotional human being." This pretty much sounds exactly like how I felt while reading the book and watching the movie! Both are wonderful, full of love, and yet also heartbreaking. Great review!

Social Media, yus, I use Twitter and my Facebook is set up to automatically post what I do there, I also have Instagram but that's more on a personal level. I'd definitely say Twitter is a great way to use social media and promotion on a blog.

But now I definitely want to see the movie and who knows maybe it will inspire me to read the book!<br /><br />I linked up this week with a review of Divergent though I must say it was mostly me ranting about how slow I thought the movie was! =)Shay(The Story Goes...)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01151431634999072166noreply@blogger.com
