Blog Hopping on Thursday!!

From Jennifer's Crazy-For-Books blog... 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!).

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


This week's question comes from Barb who blogs at Sugarbeat's Books:

"Why do you read the genre that you do? What draws you to it?"
My favorite genre is, most definitely, MYSTERY!! I have loved them since I was very young and read Encyclopedia Brown. I guess I read them for the puzzle... to see how it will be solved. I don't try to solve it... but, at the end, I have to able to see the clues. I don't like mysteries that are solved "out of left field". I read mostly series mysteries and get very invested in the characters. I like to see the evolution of the main characters and their relationships to each other.

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!!!

Thanks for stopping by Bags, Books & Bon Jovi. I haven't "hopped" in a while and I'm looking forward to checking out some great new-to-me blogs!

Please stop back later as I will post my meme... First Line Friday! And, hopefully, post about the bag I'll carry tomorrow. Which one will I carry tomorrow? I haven't decided yet... although I have narrowed it down to a few :D
