Welcome to the NEW Book Blogger Hop!

Are you a book blogger? Are you a reader? Then welcome to the place where all of us connect over the weekend and chat about books!

Not sure what a book blogger is and if you are one? Do you have a blog? Do you blog about books? Do you write book reviews on your blog? Do you rave about books and authors on your blog? Is your blog content primarily about books? Then you are most likely considered a book blogger!

How it Works

As long as you meet the qualifications of a book blogger, you may add your book blog link into the linky list below. But before you do that, there are a few requirements. Read up, to save yourself a headache with the linky!

1. Before you add your link, you must post about the Hop on your blog and link directly back to THIS POST (not just my domain, but the direct post for this Hop). The linky is going to review the link that you enter in your submission, looking for a link to this post on your blog. If it doesn’t find one, your link will not be approved. This is called back linking and I had to institute it because people were taking advantage of the Hop and getting some free advertising without promoting the Hop themselves. You can read more about this here.

2. While you are creating your post, answer the following question (there’s a new prompt each week)!

“What is the one ARC you would love to get your hands on right now?”

Here’s MY Answer: [amazon_link id="0765327813" target="_blank" ]Emory’s Gift[/amazon_link] by W. Bruce Cameron.  I loved, loved, loved A Dog’s Purpose and am looking forward to the author’s next book, due out at the end of this month!

 BONUS BONUS BONUS BONUS
ARC GOLDEN TICKET EVENT!!

Emma Michaels, author, book blogger, and fellow Hopper for quite some time, has her second novel, Anasazi, coming out today! To celebrate, she approached me with a fantastic offer – to make sure that everyone has a chance to get an ARC!  So together with Bokheim Publishing we were able to set up a Golden Ticket event to give bloggers a chance to snag an eARC! This will be the last set of ARCs going out and will only last until the end of Saturday.

Here’s some info. on the book:

One year ago, something happened to David. Following the only clue he had he headed out into the desert. Now he has asked me to come see him. But when I arrived, he was gone. The people in town claim they have never heard of him and everyone wants me to leave.

But I know he was here and he is in trouble.

He can’t survive out there for long.

Can he?

David. I will find you.

Whoa… intrigued?  Read on to find out how to get a copy!

So, how do you get one?  Simply copy the message below, fill it out and send it in an e-mail to GoldenTicket@Bokheim.com and they will respond with an eARC of Anasazi! There is no pressure for a review, you are not obligated in any way, you just get a novel to read and support for a fellow blogger!

Here is the message to copy paste:

My name is _____(your name here) from ______(your blog link) and I received a golden ticket from the Crazy for Books event. I would be interested in receiving an eARC of Anasazi.

Also, feel free to join the Twitter Party tonight at 6PM central for Anasazi!  Hashtag #Anasazi with hosts @EmmaMichaels and @Cinnimon_Quill.  Hope to see you there!

3. Now it’s time to enter your blog link into the linky below (after the list of instructions!).
Instructions:

• Click on: You are next – Click here to enter
• A new page will open
• In the “Link Title/Blog Title” box, please enter the NAME OF YOUR BLOG and in parentheses after your blog name, please state the main genre that you review (i.e. Crazy-for-Books (contemp. fiction))
• In the “Link” box, please put a direct link to your blog hop post
  (i.e. http://crazy-for-books.com/2011/08/book-blogger-hop-85-88.html)
• There is a note about the Back Link requirement. Please make sure you have linked back to this blog hop post in the post on your blog or your link will not be accepted! Did you read that important note I told you about at the top of the post?
• Please enter your e-mail address in the box provided in case I need to contact you about your link submission.
• The list is randomized, so your link will not appear in a specified order. If you are looking for your link, I suggest you do a Ctrl-F on your PC keyboard and type a few letters of your blog name so you can find it easily.

That’s it! Now you can start hopping around, visiting other links in the list, meeting fellow bloggers and chatting about their blogs and books they are reading. If you aren’t a blogger, this is a great opportunity for readers to find new sites to follow and meet some new friends who enjoy reading the same things that they do! I strongly encourage you to take some time to visit these blogs and spend some time with your blog friends. We all work hard on our sites and we enjoy getting company, so let’s read more than just the blog hop post – let’s connect! That’s what the Hop was created for! Happy Hopping!
