Book Blogger Hop which is hosted every friday by Jennifer at www.crazy-for-books.com is the place to share your blog with others and discover new blogs to follow. It is an awesome place for book blogger networking. This is my second time participating and I discovered some really cool blogs last time. This week Jennifer asks us to share why we started blogging in an effort to get to know each other better. I started blogging in November because my dad passed away in October and I needed some sort of outlet to deal with that. The writing bug bit me about that time and I wasn't ready to start in on writing the next great American novel yet so I decided to blog. Books were the obvious choice as my love for them knows no bounds. I mainly read historical fiction but also history, biographies, classics, fantasy and contemporary. I love discovering great reads and sharing them with others. Speaking of discovering, I guess I better get hopping. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Holly, I'm sorry about the loss of your Dad. My father passed away three years ago, and I still miss him. He was a great supporter of my writing. I stopped by on the book blog hop-I'm already a follower. I hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHello, found you at the hop. Just stopped by for a look see.
ReplyDeleteHolly, sorry to hear about your Dad. Mine has been gone for almost 20 years now and while it doesn't hurt any less, I don't tend to dwell on him being gone but rather try to remember so many of the things he shared with us while growing up.
I think the hop is a marvelous way to meet bloggers both old and new. I am now following you.
I have a contest going on at http://lisaslovesbooksofcourse.blogspot.com/2010/06/first-contest-100-followers-birthday.html Hope you will stop by.
Hi, what a beautiful pictures on your blog! You're obviously a historical fiction lover. Me too, although I also read contemp. fiction and a few other genres.

Hi! I discovered your blog through the Hop --- very pretty! :) Looking forward to seeing your future posts.
ReplyDeleteHi, I found your blog through the hop- the pictures on the background are lovely. I love historical fiction too but only read teen/ya hf (aimed at my age)as some of the adult books are a bit inappropriate. Maybe you could reccommend some good clean hf books for me as I've run out of ya ones now!
ReplyDeleteI'm now a follower :)
Have a great weekend!
