I skim-checked both of their followers' lists -- hence my above comments. And I saw that they've both been here for a while: it just doesn't seem like they're actually communicating with anybody (or, at least not lately), and since they're still around (while many of their original followers are not, and quite a number of their new followers are spammers), I thought we might as well try to give them a shot and show them there's still a community here that they can interact with if they want to.

Why did you stop following Fangs, Debbie? (You said you "were" following?)
I think I also was following at one time and may have culled them if not active for a while. They are only following 56, so maybe not active in term of watching what goes on here.

I'm now monitoring my followers at least once a week, sometimes more often, and blocking the spammers. It runs four to eight per day.

I meant when I clicked your link that I was "already following." Fangs has a great blog off booklikes as well.

Other than spammers, I've only unfollowed a couple of folk (and blocked a couple that were doing stuff like posting hate speech and racism, including a since wiped out STGRB account). The ones I unfollowed weren't awful about anything but were just flooding my dashboard with endless, often repetitive, marketing posts about new releases and cover reveals.

I don't mind new release news or cover reveals. But repeating the same one dozens of times in a day for weeks, never posting anything else, and posting often enough (the only downside I've found for being able to schedule posts on booklikes) that were making it hard to find other posts ... nope. Not for me.
Recently active (but not sure if "underfollowed" as cannot see followers on page):

I'm following XOX -- definitely also a GR refugee (and an active participant in the BookLikes Halloween Bingo and Festive Tasks games).
She just followed me: Danielle The Bookworm (http://christianbooklife.booklikes.com/)

First impression is that her blog name is more indicative than the blog URL -- there are more reviews of mysteries and fantasy than Christian fiction, at least at the moment. I've followed back.
Just stumbled on this one: What I am Reading - which I see some of us are already following, but I'm posting just in case someone else, like me, missed her.

Thank you for highlighting her -- I'm already following, but I agree, she could use (and would definitely deserve) more followers.
Brand new to BookLikes: http://couplewithaquill.booklikes.com/

(Found via a gif reblog by Lora.)
Newbie here.

Followed me, and only has three followers.
Also followed.
Followed both of them, too.
A few finds from going through the list of people who have set a 2019 reading challenge:

http://hopefully.booklikes.com/
http://covertocovercafe.booklikes.com/
http://roymilner.booklikes.com/shelf - a very recent arrival on BL -- no reviews yet, but the (as-yet tiny) bookshelf looks promising

For the Italian speakers:

http://patricija.booklikes.com/
http://libricina.booklikes.com/blog
Followed. Thanks!!
Katherineea who has a cool review up about Stuart Little. There also seems to be a classroom project around Charlotte's Web that I am intrigued about.



MARISSAKENDRICK-am staring to wonder based on the new profiles are there a lot of new teachers posting here? That would be great!


http://buckeyeangel.booklikes.com/-I have been following BuckeyeAngel for a while, but she still has a low follower count (only 30).


Mrs. Thornton's Classroom Library-I see Where the Wild Things Are on her bookshelf. I love that book.


Hannah's Words-Not going to lie. Just a kick out of her blog page. I can't program to save my life and I love how she changed her blog up.


Spooky's Maze of Books-posts a lot of ARCs which helps me out when I am trying to decide what I want to read. 
Need help?
