I know that things happen in life (like you and your new baby, squeee!) Congrats. I visit you blog when I can and I assume you visit mine when you can. :-)<br /><br />Melanie @ <a href="http://www.hotlistens.com/tag/reviewed-by-mlsimmons/" rel="nofollow">Hot Listens</a> & <a href="http://rabidreads.ca/category/reviews/by-reviewer/melanie" rel="nofollow">Rabid Reads</a>Melanie (@AudiobookMel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12682752959290631075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-36808328665106963632017-05-14T23:51:58.735+03:002017-05-14T23:51:58.735+03:00What an interesting discussion.

There are some blogs I visit and comment on, and they never comment back on mine, but that's okay. I still enjoy reading their blog and giving my opinion.Jen Twimomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11267405113503713323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-65106821634779958072017-05-12T19:30:35.632+03:002017-05-12T19:30:35.632+03:00I try to stop by and comment on blogs from time to...I try to stop by and comment on blogs from time to time (no strings), especially when they are talking about books of interest to me. I do miss the connection as I mostly stopped blogging. I still love to gush about books. :) And I like getting comments on my reviews, just for the purpose of discussion.

I don't know if those are strings but in this community, reciprocity is important. There needs to be an engagement between readers and bloggers at the minimum.
