BOOK BLOG HOP!

Book Blogger Hop



Taken directly from www.Crazy-for-books.com

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!).


Question of the week:

"What book influenced or changed your life? How did it influence/change you?"

My Answer (Dee): This is so weird for me to say LOL, but I would have to say Twilight. When I first picked up Twilight and started reading it, two days later I lost my mother. It was a very hard time and I guess you can say that reading that series helped clear my mind and not think so much about what was going on around me. I read on the way to her funeral, on my way home etc. I stopped reading for a while and I guess my mothers passing and Twilight helped me get back into it again. Whenever I would feel lonely or missed my mother I would pick another book up and get lost inside of it. It helped me a lot and it all started with Twilight. 


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!!!

  5. Wow. Who knew? I liked Twilight, but not really the rest of the series. Good to hear it influenced you in a good way! :)

    Here's my post at I Live, I Laugh, I Love Books.

  6. This will probably come of something as a surprise but the book that changed/influenced my life (more than any other) is a non-fiction book. I know we all focus on novels and the fanciful fiction we love to read but The Four Work Week is the book that gets all the credit. I know the title sounds fictional but it really isn’t. Hop over to my blog and find out why – http://www.howardsherman.net

    Happy Book Blogger Hop Day!
