Book Blogger Hop: April 16 – 22, 2010

It’s Friday!  Time for another Book Blogger Love Fest HOP!! 
ABOUT THE HOP:
In the spirit of the Friday Follow, I thought it would be cool to do a Book Blogger Hop to give us all bookies a chance to connect and find new blogs that we may be missing out on!  So, I created this weekly BOOK PARTY where book bloggers and readers can connect to find new blogs to read, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books!  It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed!  So, grab the logo, post about the Hop on your blog, and start PARTYING!!

Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.

If you start following someone through the Hop, leave a comment on their blog to let them know!  Stop back during the week to see other blogs that are added!  And, most importantly, the idea is to HAVE FUN!!

OPTIONAL TWIST:  

On your blog hop post, tell us about some of the other great blogs you’ve found while Hopping around!  

DISCLAIMER:

The Hop isn’t just for you to throw your link in there and not visit any other blogs.  It’s all about networking and finding new blogs that are of interest.  So, in the spirit of the Hop, try to make some time to visit other blogs and don’t post your link if you are not planning on visiting other blogs in the Hop that week.  This is a weekly event, so if you don’t have time this week, that’s fine!  We’ll see you next week!

If you sign MckLinky, please share the love and POST ABOUT THE HOP ON YOUR BLOG!  How else will anyone else find out about it and come join the party?

When you enter your link, please include the following information:

(New or Old Blogger*) Title of Blog (Primary Genres you Review**)

*A “New” Blogger is someone who has been blogging less than 3 months! 

**Genres can include (but not limited to):  Mystery, Chick Lit, Romance, Paranormal, Science Fiction, Memoir, Biography, Women’s Fiction, Young Adult, Children’s, etc.  Please just list the PRIMARY genres of books you review!

Example:
(Old) Crazy-for-Books (Women’s Fiction, Mystery)
So, let’s do the Hop!
P.S. BEFORE YOU ENTER YOUR LINK – DID YOU READ ALL OF THE RULES ABOVE??  DON’T FORGET TO LIST THE REQUESTED INFORMATION IN YOUR LINK!!!!!

    great I yet again mess up someone's blog post by posting twice! :( I'm truly sorry, can one be deleted? It's the media molly one…

    Just hopping by and saying hello! Have a great Friday!

  5. Kristin says:

    Love this idea…as a newer blogger, I have found some really great blogs to follow from this and it also motivates me to keep up with my reviews! Thank you and have a great weekend!

  6. Geri says:

    I LOVE this..it is so much fun. Wishing everyone a very very happy weekend!

  7. LindyLouMac says:

    Not new to book blogging but still new to this great idea, so not sure if I posted the right sort of link. Anyway it is fun visiting other book review sites listed, thanks.

  8. YzhaBella (aka Kate) says:

    Thanks to hosting this wonderful event again!

  9. notjustlaura says:

    Your linky-thing seems to be broken …

    So I shall improvise and leave my info here:

    (Old) NotJustLaura (literary fiction, romance, historical, non-fiction, Christian)

  10. Melissa says:

    I found this the other day, but didn't get the chance to join in last week's event. I love this concept since it is giving me a chance to meet other bloggers.

  11. Rose City Reader says:

    I've had a lot of fun participating the last couple of weeks, so am doing it again. Thanks for hosting!

  12. Jennifer (Crazy-for-Books) says:

    I just tested MckLinky and it works fine for me. Let me know if anyone else is having trouble with it! Thanks!

  13. MarceJ says:

    Jennifer, this is fabulous babe, great idea. I am still slowly making my way through last weeks, 60% there,lol

    I really hope people are networking though. I saw (1) blog from last week that posted and she had no followers and had books that I know many are interested in unfortunately it wasn't what I read but I followed to encourage hopefully.

    Everyone enjoys comments and followers, the point is to have fun but to PARTICIPATE not just post with McLinky.

    Jenn, I had to vent a little, sorry :-)

  14. Jennifer (Crazy-for- says:

    Marce,I know everyone can't visit every link, every week. Based on the survey I did, people tend to visit 10-20 blogs per week. If your link is up toward the end of the weekly Hop, it's unlikely you'll end up with much traffic. I can't really find out who is doing it and who's not, though. Those who enter their link I have to assume are going to participate. If they aren't, then that is highly disappointing and not the purpose of the Hop. Thank you for your insight.Jennifer

    I visit about 50 blogs a week from the hop. More if I can manage it.

  23. Jean says:

    This is my second time, but last week I only joined at the end, so it didn't really count ^_^

    I've enjoyed finding new blogs to follow, and I will be visiting other blogs on Sunday! :D

  24. Letter4no1 says:

    I signed my blog in wrong, i'm sorry! I tried to fix it but it wouldn't let me :(

    I just wanted to apologize and say that I think this is a great idea.

  25. Books on says:

    Phew, pussreboots, I'm impressed! How do you do it?!!

  26. Kate says:

    I messed mne up a little bit too! Next week will be better :) Love this idea- I love seeing what other people are reading!

    *sigh and blush* Sorry. I forgot to put the new/old distinction again.

  31. blueicegal says:

  32. Amanda says:

    I'm on the book hop from outback Australia!

  33. Anna says:

    I messed up my link when I typed it in–instead of writing blogspot, I wrote blogpost. It's the Brimful Bookshelves one, is there way way that can be fixed.

  34. Evelyn Applegate says:

    Ah! I didn't read the instructions properly before joining. Sorry! *facepalm* Well I feel like a proper idiot now, so that'll teach me. I forgot to put the new/old bit. Technically I'm an old blogger, but I feel pretty new at this still. I started blogging just over a year ago and have only recently started posting on a regular basis. My genre's romance and erotica. I'm looking forward to checking out a bunch of other book blogs.

  35. NancyO says:

    Hi! This is my first time (not my last, though). I've found a few new blogs that definitely appeal. Thanks so much for hosting this! I would love to have a badge for my blog…how do I get one?

  36. Jennifer (Crazy-for- says:
