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!

I guess this week was boring and I just wanted to it to be Friday so I'm happy that it finally got here! Plus homework and school have kept me from reading as much as I want to. =(

Do you read only one book at a time, or do you have several going at once?

Before I was required to read books for school I only read one book at a time. I didn't like to start a new book without finding out how the one I was reading ended. It's not that I can't keep each story seperate from each other, I just don't like to. Now I usually read 2 books for school and a book of my choice. =)

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
How did you come up with your blog name?

Ever since I started reading books I noticed that book covers played a big part on what books people decided to read. I didn't like to think that people picked books to read by their covers and not by their books. So there you have it, we should read books because of their story and not their cover.


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

  4. Stopping in from the hop. I agree, you shouldn't read a book by its cover but I find myself doing it anyway. Bad habit.

  5. Great reasoning on your choice of blog name. I have to admit, I am terribly, terribly guilty of judging books by their covers! There's something about a pretty cover that just draws me in!

  7. Hi, Happy Follow Friday! I'm a new follower.

    I've noticed the same thing about book covers. I feel bad for the indie published authors whose covers aren't always all that attractive because people do tend to pick up books for their covers. Great blog name.

    Come find out how I choose my blog name!

  8. Hopping through. I didn't notice covers much until I started blogging. Now, they seem like a much bigger deal.

  14. Oh, I love the explanation for your name! It's very true. Although I like judging the book by its cover AND inside.

    Have a great weekend!
