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 (contemp. 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 Aliyah who blogs at Des Absurdités:
 
 ”What book are you most looking forward to seeing published in 2011?  Why are you anticipating that book?”
My answer:  Wow… there are so many!  Do I have to pick just one?  I’ll go with TRACKS by Eric Goodman coming out this summer.  The premise of the book just drew me right in.  I love books from multiple viewpoints, with stories that are interconnected in some way.  So, this one sounds really great.  


Description from the publisher’s blog:


“Tracks takes place on an Amtrak train traveling from Baltimore to Chicago. Each story is told from the perspective of a passenger on the train. They are the strangers we meet every day: a soldier, a salesman, a former mobster, a Holocaust survivor, couples in love, a woman who has lost her parents, a writer, a hit man. These and other characters fill the train with emotion and complexity.”

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!

    Ooh, that is a tough question! There are so many I look forward to. The Orchid Affair by Lauren Willig was just published which I was looking forward to… for the rest of this year, maybe To Defy a King by Elizabeth Chadwick.

    I haven't heard of Tracks, but it sounds interesting…I have to admit, mostly because there's a tie to Baltimore and that's where I live. I might have to check it out!

    Man, I don't know if I can pick just one book..I'm going to have to think on it. I'll be back later today with my link!

    Adding TRACKS to my wish list, although that does seem like a LOT of characters to keep up with.

    I think TRACKS sounds very interesting. I love travelling by train, but don't do it very often. By the way, thanks so much for hosting this meme for such a long time. It's been one of my favorites!

    Hi Everyone! I am very new to Book Blogging, I love to read and now I have a way to share my passion with others. Right now, I am looking forward to reading Tandem by Tracey Bateman.

    I read all different genres, so I really can't pick just one. A few are: Christian fiction, YA, Fiction, Fantasy, Romance.
