I would never participate in a tour like that. I agree that it's nice when a tour has different features and not the same thing on each blog.

Also, you're right - sometimes the kind of publicity provided by a book tour or cover reveal sort of backfires, because of the duplicate contents, and because the attention is often more focused on what surrounds the book that on the book itself. Also, competition...*sighs* I've never been part of such events to date, but from what I read (here and on other BBCs), it often gets in the way. Which is sad...for us and for the book :(.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting on my blog.

Great minds, eh? ;)<br /><br />Good point about how the tour should focus on the book! I don't like the duplicate posts that show up on every blog, or when the blogosphere is swamped with too much info all at the same time. Can't remember what the last blast was, but it cluttered up my Reader for about a week straight. Very annoying!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog!Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242617370252479461.post-66992999826288752002013-06-03T15:03:16.761-05:002013-06-03T15:03:16.761-05:00I to love author and character interviews.

I somewhat participate in cover reveals and only do those when I'm anticipating the book. I just posted one up not 10 minutes ago so yeah~ LOL But yes I love blogs that brings you to another blog and may even find a new blogger to follow!kiphahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919376931169982458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242617370252479461.post-73620450365869099562013-06-03T13:38:14.960-05:002013-06-03T13:38:14.960-05:00I agree completely - a dozen posts with the exact ...I agree completely - a dozen posts with the exact same content over and over again is boring (and a little annoying).<br /><br />I've never participated in the "compete with other bloggers" type of tour, but I can see the downside, and I have never and will never participate in that kind of tour. <br /><br />You're right - it should be all about the book!Andrea @ The Busy Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03870102161917943612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242617370252479461.post-38313384699534410872013-06-03T13:14:03.340-05:002013-06-03T13:14:03.340-05:00so many true thoughts with tours and having blogge...so many true thoughts with tours and having bloggers compete for a thing. <br />I do enjoy the different content, but not going to follow all those blogs Julie@My5monkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861113387434481518noreply@blogger.com
