But it's ...So my short answer to this is BADLY. But it's been a year of change, changing priorities and general upheaval in my life! I'm finally starting to find that I'm making a bit of time again for blogging this year and I hope I continue to do so. My biggest priority, like you is blog hopping. At the moment I haven't managed to get around to all the blogs that I do follow (which is according to bloglovin' more than 200 blogs although I have to admit it desperately needs a cleanout). I've only been circulating to those that have commented on my blog in about the last 6 months or so and then keeping to that sort of perpetuating cycle because I've been behind for just THAT LONG. Anyways, when I'm finally caught up a bit I will be bloghopping more with a new strategy! I'm trying to migrate to Feedly as I think that it works a little better for me on my mobile device and if I can bloghop from there whenever I have a few spare minutes I feel like I will be 1000% a better bloghopper. :) <br /><br />Anyways! I do need to work on managing my blogging and hopefully I'll have more on this in the near future.

I also follow over a hundred blogs. I have more and more comments, I like to answer each, and then my policy is to try to visit each blog that leaves a comment on mine, and try to leave a comment there myself.

I have a core group, who I visit more than others, but then there are ones I only go to, when I am interested in the post. I do all my posts on the weekend and write my reviews as I finish the book (that's my goal anyhow). It makes it very manageable for me. The weekend is really catch up time. I try to reply and comment during the week, but I don't get to them all. I am usually a day behind in replying, and I try to visit day specific memes on the day they are posted. I refuse to give up my reading time though. The mornings, my commute, and one hour each night before bed are for reading.
