And your r...Hi Laurynne and thanks for popping by.<br /><br />And your response is that exact reason why so many blogs use your services, you support equality and bloggers don't need to jump through hoops just to be considered, so behalf of all bloggers, I thank you.<br /><br />I had no idea what a book tour was when I begun blogging and I remember having less than 50 combined members when I first applied to host one of your tours, and you had chosen me anyway. Now I'm close to 800 combined members since the beginning of 2013, and still love being a tour host with CBL.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-13094777891904366842013-08-08T10:17:34.933+10:002013-08-08T10:17:34.933+10:00Oh I can't stand snobs. I'd like to add th...Oh I can't stand snobs. I'd like to add that this is not the only thing that happens. Many authors who have contacted me for tours want to include a clause that if I can get the bigger names (blogs) on board they are prepared to give those choice blogs huge giveaways to run during the tour dates. And to that... I immediately refuse. It's rubbish to pull your nose up at the smaller blogs (every single one of us spend exactly the same amount of time on review posts and promotions for tours as the next one does) and if they (the authors) have huge gift vouchers & prizes to giveaway for tours then they must make it a tour-wide giveaway. <br /><br />During my blog tours I run, there is not a single blog that get's more attention than the next. I don't even pump my own blog more than the other blog tour hosts. If CBL Reviews participates in a tour CBL Book Tours is running, then I fall in with everyone else and fill in on a random available date with the same benefits as everyone else.<br /><br />I'm glad you put this out there. I've been noticing this pattern for a while now and it's annoying the hell out of me. I too get outside tour requests, which I join in and then never hear from again. Oh well...<br /><br />Thanks Divain for your support and kind words :)<br /><br />X<br />Laurynne Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-48382649767632687192013-03-18T04:31:06.950+11:002013-03-18T04:31:06.950+11:00Thanks Char for the suggestion.
Most of the blogs ...Thanks Char for the suggestion.<br />Most of the blogs I follow are smaller blogs, but they all have awesome content on them. Books I would never have gave a second glance to. My to read list is as long as my arm.<br /><br />I'll pop over to your blog later today and grab your button to put in my links section.

She's one of the authors that I talk to directly and she's just organised her own book tour. <br /><br />I honestly love book tours, it helps Indie authors especially, to get their work out there.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-87339382031546147422013-03-16T22:07:29.799+11:002013-03-16T22:07:29.799+11:00My blog has more followers than everyone else that...My blog has more followers than everyone else that's signed up so far (but not by much) but I completely agree, not everyone has the luck to gain 1000s of followers as even with follow for follow not everyone follows back. <br /><br />I followed Adriana as I already follow everyone else, I'm always happy to do button exchanges as well. I think there are loads of amazing smaller blogs!! Good luck with your stand against Blog Tour snobs who overlook us!! <br /><br />Oh and I have some tours lined up with: http://www.supagurltours.blogspot.co.uk/ so maybe you could try her! :)<br /><br />Char @ From the Shadows I Review :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150771566265536947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-50108447337173011382013-03-16T19:18:44.630+11:002013-03-16T19:18:44.630+11:00Was already following Summer- Adriana I am followi...Was already following Summer- Adriana I am following you on both Twitter & your blog. <br />I like your rawr divainpajamas! I've had experience of Xpresso Books- Giselle's amazing because she'll do a blog tour for indies or traditionally published & also does cover reveals & everything- every little helps! I don't apply loads but I think it's good to have this as a confidence booster! It's like when authors haven't been rejected yet but they know it's going to happen & write anyway!
