Hey guys! The Blog Hop is a chance for book bloggers to connect and find new blogs to drool over. It’s hosted by Jennifer over at Crazy For Books. It’s a newer addition to my blogging life and I’m a little bit obsessed with it. So fun. If you’re here from The Hop, thanks for stopping by!
If this is your first time stopping by or if you’ve been around for awhile, head over to my About page and feast your eyes on some real changes. Shaun is working on a re-design of my blog and my part in that is updating old stuff. The About page was my first big hurdle. Next is my Links. Anyway, get ready for some subtle (and not so subtle!) changes around here. Also, if you think you’ve seen every About page there is and you’re thinking about ignoring my instructions to go look at mine, let me tempt you with this: mine includes cute baby pictures. Who can resist?
This week’s question is: “What is the thing that you like most about book blogging? Is it the reviews, author guest posts, articles, giveaways, or something else entirely?
My favorite part is just sharing my love of reading. I have a few friends and family members who are readers but before I started my blog, I didn’t know anyone who was obsessed like me. I didn’t know anyone who got excited about pretty shelves, book-related comics and all the other nerdy stuff that I go on and on about. I love that I’ve found a community that goes crazy about that stuff with me.
While I enjoy reading reviews, I have to admit that often, I just skim them. I get more excited about book-related articles and news and stuff that is a little bit outside the norm.
Again, thanks for stopping by! If you’re new to my blog, leave a comment with a link to your blog so I can return the visit. Have a great Friday and happy hopping!

I have met so many people who love books just as much as I do since blogging and even more that enjoy the same genres. It feels great to talk about books to people who aren’t rolling their eyes at me! My hop is at Coffee Table Press
Just stopping by for the hop!!! I hope you are having a great day! It’s nice to be able to share similar obsessions with books, since my family and friends are totally opposite from that!! Have a great weekend!

Happy Holidays!
Being able to share a love of books is one of the best things about the blogging community! It’s great to be able to ramble on about a book and, instead of getting a blank stare, get a response that’s just as animated!
Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Hopping by … I agree it’s the community that makes me love book blogs so much! I love how many obsessed people there are on here
I love reviews the most but I have to say I enjoy the Book Art you feature, it motivated me to find one and use for my I Want More Challenge.

You’re right…one must check out the About page. Your little guy is so adorable! I love the pic of him and his dad, both in plaid. Preciousness embodied, I tell you!!!
Indeed, the book blog community is such a win-win….one gets to hear about all sorts of stuff taking place regarding books, as well as share one’s own thoughts on books and reading. Such a lovely dynamic.
Cheers!

I tend to like the articles more, too. But I still like reviews. I’m off to check out your About page.
Hello there! I’m stopping by on the Hop today, and I must say I LOVE your blog! I’m looking forward to following along with all of your reading adventures!
