Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Crazy-for-Books where book bloggers answer the weekly question and hop around to other blogs and see what other bloggers have to say. The goal is to discover new blogs, "connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books!"
This week's question is:
"Do you ever wish you would have named your blog something different?"
Sometimes, but not really. There are only two reasons I wish I had picked something different.
First is because it starts with an "S." My blog name doesn't do me any favors when it comes to alphabetical listings!
The other reason is because when you type in "Small Review" into a search engine, you get a ton of results about all kinds of small (as in, not long) reviews for a variety of products. My blog doesn't even show up until pages and pages later.
Otherwise I'm happy with it.

I love your name! I smile every time I think "Oh, Smalls!" or "What are you doing up so late, Smalls?" What would you have been to be higher on the alphabet list? AhSoSmalls? BookieSmalls? BookReviewsBySmallPerson?
ReplyDeleteThey really should pay me for this.
*grins* I'm with Logan, I often think of you about Smalls.
ReplyDeleteI really like the name of your blog, but I hadn't thought about Listings, I suppose is a bit like roll call at school.
I like your name, too. There's just something about the name that's very satisfying and, like Logan said, smile-inducing. I never thought of the alphabetical thing. Hm.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about listings and alphabetical order. I guess I would have the same problem.
ReplyDeleteAnyways I like the name of your blog. It fits.

ReplyDeleteThe "S" problem is exactly the reason i sometimes i had different name at my blog too XD
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.. New Follower here :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad to meet another Supernatural fan; that show is so great. I rewatch certain episodes from season one a lot, I think that the first few seasons were the best :)

I hadn't even considered alphabetical listings for blog names but I really like your name. Also I just googled "small review" and you were the third listing; possibly because google knows that I visit your blog a lot.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog name and more importantly, you do. That's all that matters.
ReplyDeleteOkay, hopping by and I'm a new follower. Have a great weekend!

Hi! I'd follow you, but I don't see the spot to follow using the blogspot thing like I normally see at the top of your blog. I do want to comment and say that I love your template/background. I'm hoping to either find something really cute like this later this year, or maybe pay someone to design something for me.
ReplyDeleteGood answer....mine starts with an S as well. :)
ReplyDeleteStop by my blog for my answer if you like.

I got tired of my blog's name before at the old location and attempted to merely change the name. But I realized that I wanted to change the URL too... and then I just wanted to start over at a new host. I'm happy where I am now. My name suits me, no?
ReplyDeleteMy blog starts with an S too. A lot of those out there! Found you through the blog hop, new follower. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's mine!
Newest follower here via the Friday Blog Hop. I am a writer of contemporary romance and a reader of almost anything! Hope you stop by and check out my blog.

Logan, you are beyond adorable! You made me laugh out loud with those blog names :P Can I pay you with virtual hugs and cookies? (I’m usually up late because I work the afternoon-evening shift, plus, I’m a hopeless night owl)
ReplyDeleteAlex, It’s funny that you think of me as Smalls because I actually respond to that more frequently than my real name. :)
Rubita, Thanks! I love making people smile :)
Bookworm, Oh! Good to know! Thank you :)
Lisa Madina, I had a giveaway above the follower list, but the follower button is on the top right sidebar now :) Thank you! I made my design, but Danny from Dreamy Blog Designs makes beautiful templates if you’re interested.
Thank you all for hopping by, for the kind words, and the new followers!
