About the Book Blogger Hop
The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer from Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended December 31, 2012.
I didn't want the hop to come to end, and with Jennifer's permission, I’ll relaunch the Book Blogger Hop on Friday, February 15th, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt just like before. The hop's purpose will remain the same as it will give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.
Weekly Questions: If you have a question, fill out the Form. Each blogger with a selected question will get credit during that week's hop. Remember to keep the questions & answers G-rated for the younger bloggers.

I'm glad the Hop's continuing. Hopefully, it will get popular again as it's such a great vehicle for finding new book blogs to read. Thanks for keeping it going!
Ooooh! Another meme to do! :)
So glad to see the hop continue! Your button redesign is awesome as well. Thanks for taking it on!
Thanks for continuing the blog hop and taking questions! i also appreciate that you post the questions in advance so we can get a little headstart on writing responses. Great idea!
I appreciate your willingness to take on the Hop. It was my baby and although I tried, it was just too hard for me to keep up with every week. I'm so glad that you see the value in keeping it going and can put all the love and enthusiasm into it that I once did!! :) I look forward to following it on your blog!!
All the best,
Jennifer - Crazy-for-Books
It is great to see that this blog hop is coming back. I was only able to do this once and then it disappeared. I will be sure to be back here tomorrow to answer the weekly question.
I have been away from blogger for so long that I never realized that Jennifer had ended the Blogger Hop. Thanks for relaunching it!

Please, No Blog Awards. I'm honored to be nominated, but I really don't have time for it.
