The Book Blogger Hop was created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ran until December 31, 2012. It was reintroduced by Billy @ Ramblings of a Coffee-Addicted Writer on February 15, 2013, with Jennifer's approval. The hop occurs weekly, starting on Friday and ending the following Thursday, featuring a specific book-related prompt each week.
The main goal is to connect bloggers, encouraging them to follow each other, discover new titles, and grow their audience. If you have a prompt question, you can submit it via the contact form. Selected prompts will be acknowledged weekly. All prompts must be rated PG-13 or lower.
Submitted prompts by other bloggers will be marked with "*Submitted by...".
