Discussion: Book Memes

A lot of bloggers do memes and book bloggers are no exception.  Waiting on Wednesday, Musing Mondays, Top Ten Tuesdays, the list goes on and on.  But memes are interesting in that not all bloggers do them or even like them.

As you guys have noticed, I’ve kind of stayed away from memes (other than my failed attempt at a Spotlight one).  This is not because I hate them but rather there are other things I want to talk about.  I want to do my own thing; I always have.  If I want to post a discussion on a Friday rather than a Saturday, I can do that.  If I want to do a top ten list, I can do it whenever I feel like it.  I know you’re not obligated to post memes weekly, but it is sort of expected.

As for other blogs, I don’t mind memes.  If someone does only memes that gets rather annoying, yes, but for the most part I see nothing wrong with them.  I just don’t want to do them.  They’re not for me.

But what I want to know now is: If you’re a blogger (particularly a book blogger), do you do memes?  Why or why not?  As a reader, do you like reading meme posts?
