Book Blogger Hop: 7/8-7/11

July 7, 2011 By 15 Comments

Attention:  My blog is undergoing a theme change, so there may be times when the site is down or things look a little wacky (especially those darn sidebars – they’ll be the death of me!).  So, please be patient this weekend if you have trouble accessing the site!  Thanks, all!

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. Post about the Hop on your blog (feel free to grab the logo at the top of the post!)

Spread the word about the book party! The more the merrier!

In your blog post, answer the following question (new question each week!).

This week’s question isn’t a question at all! I thought I would do things a little differently this week and give all of you a chance to promote a giveaway (or two!) from the blogosphere.

The catch?

IT CAN’T BE YOUR OWN GIVEAWAY!

Gotcha!

You have to find another blogger who is having a giveaway and promote their giveaway for them! If possible, promote a giveaway from a blogger doing the Hop (hey, you are visiting other blogs anyway, right?). Have fun with this one! It’s not an easy task this week! :)

My answer: My blog buddy, Lori from Lori’s Reading Corner, is having an awesome giveaway for an ARC of Kill Alex Cross by James Patterson! The book is due out in November, but you can get your hands on it now! Go have a look at the latest installment to this popular series! Oh, and while you are there, don’t forget to check out her “Show Me the Money Monday” weekly giveaway for a $10 Amazon gift card!

Teresa over at Teresa’s Reading Corner has 3 giveaways happening right now, one of them being for the book Joy for Beginners by Erica Bauermeister, which sounds like an awesome story!

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

2. Enter your book blog link in the Linky List below.

In your description, please state the main genre that you review – Example: Crazy-for-Books (contemp. adult fiction)


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!)

***Failure to adhere to the above 3 rules may result in removal of your link from the Linky List.***

Have fun HOPPING and enjoy your BOOK PARTY weekend!!!

 

UPDATE #1: THE BOOK BLOGGER HOP DOES NOT ACCEPT TWITTER LINKS!

UPDATE #2: Please do not add “AND A GIVEAWAY” to your blog hop link.

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

The list is RANDOMIZED! So, when you enter your link, it will appear randomly in the list! To find it on a PC, hit Ctrl-F and type the name of your blog. You can delete your own link, too, so if you mess up, just delete it and start over!

Click the blue button that says ADD YOUR LINK and type in the information below:


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

    Thank you for the shout out! The changes are looking great. I can’t imagine the time and energy it must be taking.

    As always, thanks for hosting this big beautiful book party. How do I get the code so the linky appears on my blog post?

    This is my first time participating. I review adult romance and erotica and usually participate in the 18 and Over hop hosted by Bitten by Paranormal Romance, but the host decided to cancel it after this week. I’ve enjoyed blog hopping, so I had to find another hop. And lucky me, I found you. LOL.

    Hi, I see my name up in the linky links, but I didn’t submit my name for the hop. Is there any way to find out who did?

    Not that I think the hop isn’t great, I just didn’t participate so someone has entered my name without permission. Thanks!

      Ahh… the person linked to your blog in the linky instead of her own blog. I’ll delete it and email her. Sorry about that!

        Hi Jen, thanks so much! I just didn’t want it to appear as if I joined the hop and then wasn’t participating. So odd that name and my link fill in.
