Book Blogger Hop & Follow Friday

Book Blogger Hop is a fun meme hosted by Crazy For Books. Enter your link and go hop around other blogs that are out there, ready to be discovered!

This week was short for me. I only had 3 days of school! I'm hoping that the days I have no school will allow me to read all those books that need to be read.

If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?

Yes. I can't start a series in the middle. I don't exactly know why but this has actually happened to me before. It seems like I have to start from the beginning.

To join the fun and make now book blogger friends, just follow these simple rules:
  1. Follow the Follow My Book Blog Friday Host { Parajunkee.com } and any one else you want to follow on the list.
  2. Follow our Featured Bloggers
  3. Put your Blog name & URL in the Linky thing.
  4. Grab the button up there and place it in a post, this post is for people to find a place to say hi in your comments
  5. Follow Follow Follow as many as you can
  6. If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love...and the followers. 
What is your usual monthly book budget?

I don't have a monthly book budget. I can't ask for more than a book per month. Sometimes I can get lucky and I will get two books, but that is only on very rare occasions.

If you're visiting, make sure you leave your link and I'll make sure to visit your blog!

    I try to set aside a budget, around $30 if I can, but usually I buy 2 books too, then more if I still have the money. XD

  5. Stopping in from the hop! I also like to read a series from the beginning and in order. I don't have a monthly book budget - couldn't even begin to consider one either! Some months I buy quite a lot of books, other months might go by and I've only bought one. Have a great weekend!

  11. New follower here! Happy hopping! I completely agree with you, and I have to start the books in a series with the first book or I feel lost!
