Book Blogger Hop: 8/19-8/22

If you haven’t read the changes to the Hop, please read this post before entering your link.
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’s the LONGEST book you’ve ever read?”
(Note: I’m putting one caveat on this question. You aren’t allowed to say the Bible, Torah, Qur’an, or other religious/spiritual text.)
Here’s MY Answer:
Breaking Dawn and The Host by Stephanie Myers
On second thought I want to add the Earth's Children by Jean Auel and Gone With the Wind.








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-819-822.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!

  1. Thanks for visiting my blog! I haven't read the Twilight series- I'm afraid of vampires.
    (Interesting profile. I love Nancy Drew--I actually read a whole slew of those books with my son when he was younger.)

  4. I think it's interesting that a lot of people put breaking dawn. I'm not sure if it's longer than Harry Potter but I didn't choose it because I read it in only 1 day. Thanks for Stopping By! Following back.
