Book Blogger Hop: 4/1-4/4

There’s a BIG change to the Linky list this week! Read the note above the list BEFORE entering your link!

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, including the genre that you review!
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! 

 ”Since today is April Fool’s Day in the USA, what is the best prank you have ever played on someone OR that someone has played on you?”

My answer:  To be honest, I can’t really answer my own question!  I can’t recall any pranks played on me or that I played on anyone, although I’m sure there are some!  I’m not much of a prankster!  I can’t wait to read your stories, though!

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!

UPDATE #2: Please do not add “AND A GIVEAWAY” to your blog hop link. I’ve been seeing these a
lot lately and up until now I’ve left them alone. But it’s starting to get a bit out of control and I’m going to have to start deleting them if they continue to appear. The Hop isn’t to advertise your giveaways. It’s a place for us to explore and find new blogs we may be interested in following, not to promote our giveaways. There are several sites out there that have Giveaway Hops, but this is not one of them. Unfortunately if I continue to see the links, I will have to delete them. I hate to start having to “police” the hop, but I want to bring it back to its original state. Thank you for understanding.

How to enter your link (things are a little different, so read this please!):

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

    I like the way the links are randomized– good for those of us who can't always get on to add on links in time. :)

  6. Thanks for hosting! I love that it's randomized…seems more equitable for everyone! Happy April Fools!

  7. Mystica says:

    I too did not know it was randomized! I thought I could not post the link. Thank you for hosting.

  8. Jen, thanks for hosting this blog – Heather from buried by books sent me over a couple of months ago and I look forward to it every week. I think this randomized list is a GREAT idea – I know I never get her normally until the end of the day Friday – I got here early this week to see if I could get some more people to stop by.

  9. Ann says:

    Great idea doing the random thing. I know this must be a lot of work for you and I appreciate having somewhere to connect with other readers/reviewers. A big thanks.

    Thanks for posting!! I like the new way you have it with the randomizer, gives everyone a chance to be seen!!!

  12. Shirley says:

    So does April Fools Day end at noon in the US? I've heard rumours of it doing so here but one just never knows. Some people love to take advantage of the opportunity to bring out their trickster side!! I live with three, including my hubby and two kids (still at home youngsters). You have to watch every corner before going around it here!

  13. Hi – I am helping to promote a NEW Independent author on Family Literacy this weekend. It's listed above as Progeny. Please stop by and read about his awesome new book (especially if you like fantasy novels). It is a giveaway – but more than anything I just want people to know about his great book.

    I've never really had any april fool pranks – but I did post your button on my post & I'll tweet for you. =D

  14. comacalm says:

    It's also April Fool's day in the UK…

  15. Yvonne says:

    I'm not much of a prankster myself. So, no exciting stories from me :(

  16. I like the new setup! I think it will definitely help everyone have a better chance of getting clicked on. I always try to start at the bottom though – I dunno why! :)

  17. I like the new linky list, especially since I tend to be late posting my Friday hop & end up dead last :D

  18. @kero_91 says:

    Great question!
    My Hop

  19. Betty says:

    Gulp, I forgot it was Friday.

  20. Kay says:

    I'm not a prankster either but there are some people here on the Hop that have some great stories! Thanks for still doing this! I enjoy participating when I can.

    Enjoy your weekend!
