Book Blogger Hop #11

 

The Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books  and is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word! I love taking part in the hop as I get to know more about other bloggers out there and to find a few new ones!

  

This week's question is –

What is the thing you like most about reading book blogs?  Is it the reviews, author guest posts, articles, giveaways, or something else entirely?

I love discovering new books most of all. Finding books I didn’t know about or that my local stores don’t stock and discovering a new series or author that interests me. Sometimes this is through reviews, author posts, giveaways and even memes. I love reading other people’s reviews and they do influence me but I’m always aware I’m not going to agree with everyone. Giveaways are great – after all who doesn’t love a free book? But I’m always careful to only enter giveaways for books I’m genuinely interested in – after if I do win I want to read it and not just have it sitting on a shelf. That’s not really fair on the people who really do want to win it! I love humour and passion in people’s blogs – that tends to be what makes me follow them – after all I blog because I love books and want to meet other people who feel the same way!

So what do you like most about reading book blogs?

  3. Hi! I'm a new follower. I love getting recommendations too. Before reading a book I like to know if others liked it. I don't like investing my time, energy, and money into something unless I think I will like it. Hope you have a great weekend :)
