For me, I feel like it's time for me to start saying no to some books and giving publicists the "I'll try" line too :) As for giveaways, I do like them but I like your new rules :) I’m glad you brought the subject up and I appreciate you writing this follow up.

I am not this interested in winning books except if it is one I really want to read.

I have felt bogged down, but that is my lack of being able to say no to good books...but I've got my own personal rules starting up in December. great discussion and I say that whatever each blogger chooses to do is the right thing for him or her.

for any book lover, saying no to free books is definitely tough but i like the idea of giving away books to just regular readers and not the ones that come by just to say “do enter me for the giveaway”.. i have been very random and entered giveaways in many blogs that i don’t go and follow up on and i don’t know how that is useflu for the blogger..

I try not to over promote my giveaways. Maybe a post near the end of my giveaway to remind people. I usually feel it myself when I am posting to much about something because I get tired of hearing about it as well. Although my husband disagrees he thinks I should post more about them. I also plan on reading what ever I giveaway and giving my review. If its sucks then I am not going to give it away because if I don't want them then probably no one else does. I pretty much agree.
