Book Blogger Hop
Grab the Logo!


In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word!  This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, 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 to read!  So, grab the logo, post about the Hop on your blog, and start HOPPING through the list of blogs that are posted in the Linky list below!!

The Hop lasts Friday-Monday every week, so if you don’t have time to Hop today, come back later and join the fun!  This is a weekly event!  And stop back throughout the weekend to see all the new blogs that are added!  We get over 200 links every week!! 



RULES:


Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.
 
1.  Enter your book blog link in the Linky List below
In your link, please state the main genre that you review:  eclectic, contemp. fiction, ya, paranormal, mystery, non-fiction, etc.

Example:  Crazy-for-Books (eclectic adult fiction) 
2. Post about the Hop on your blog.  Spread the word about the book party!  The more the merrier!  In your blog post, answer the following question (new question each week!).  

If you have a suggestion for a future HOP question, click here to fill out the form!  Thanks!



This week’s question comes from Barb who blogs at Sugarbeat’s Books:
 
 ”Why do you read the genre that you do?  What draws you to it?”
My answer:  I love reading contemporary adult fiction.  I like reading about men and women that I can envision in real life, facing the same life challenges that I could be facing and seeing how they persevere and come out stronger in the end.  I love their story arcs and their character development throughout the novel.  These books inspire me.

I also enjoy reading mystery novels and playing detective.  I like putting all the pieces together and trying to figure out who the “bad guy” is.  Usually I’m wrong, but these books keep me on the edge of my seat and make for nights of long, intense reading!

3.  Visit other blogs in the Linky List!  Make new friends!  Follow new book bloggers!  Talk about books!  Rave about authors!  Take the time to make a quality visit!  Check out other posts and content, make a new friend!  Don’t randomly follow someone if you never intend on actually following them!  No spamming please!  (Please do not leave your link and not visit other blogs – it’s just not cool and not in the spirit of the Hop!)

And just as an FYI – this event is not something you should feel that you have to participate in every week.  If you want to join in and link up once a month, GREAT!  It’s up to you how often you participate!

So, have fun HOPPING and enjoy your BOOK PARTY weekend!!!

UPDATE:  THE BOOK BLOGGER HOP DOES NOT ACCEPT TWITTER LINKS!  IF YOU LEAVE A TWITTER LINK, IT WILL BE DELETED!!!  ONLY YOUR BLOG URL IS ACCEPTED!  THANK YOU!


 
Til next time, stay crazy….for books, that is!

    Thanks for the Blog Hop! I will be back later to check out some more blogs. My answer: I love historical fiction because you learn something new every time you read a novel! Being able to go research a person, or event after finishing a book is so awesome :)

    I accidentally put the wrong link the first time…#67 The Reading Housewives. #70 is actually the correct link…I'm so sorry! :(

    This is my first time participating! I've been wanting to do so for awhile but I finally got around to it. I hope I get to connect with some more wonderful people!I like mystery novels as well, or novels that have a bit of mystery in them. The Twin's Daughter by Lauren Baratz-Logsted is a good one. I kept guessing throughout but I ended up wrong about the outcome…which in my opinion, made it so much better!

    I agree with your feelings on contemporary fiction. I had a hard time describing it, but for me it's about the incredible characters we meet.

    I like mysteries a lot, too. Like you, I'm often quite wrong about the mystery, but I do get pleased with myself when I'm able to figure out a part of it ahead of time!
