Book Blogger Hop: How Long Have You Gone Without Reading?

Book Blogger Hop is run by Billy@CoffeeAddictedWriter. There is a different bookish question each week. This week’s question is a tough one because it brings up a lot of memories.

That’s an easy but difficult answer at the same time. Three months. After my Mom died in March 2020, I couldn’t focus enough to read anything for three months. I was not blogging then, but I was reviewing on Netgalley and Booksirens, and I had to DNF everything because I just couldn’t focus enough to read. 

Three months later I started back in with audiobooks, which are easier for me to focus on, and then in October 2020, I started blogging on this site. I’d had the blog before that time, but I wasn’t using it. I’ve been seriously blogging/reviewing ever since. My Mom was an avid reader who read a book a day, so I always feel that she inspired my blogging, and still does.

The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Billy @ Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book-related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to their own blog.

Yes, absolutely. If I don’t have time to read/review the book, I also have an option to do a spotlight with the cover art, blurb, and buy links. That way we can still get the word out about the book even if I don’t have time to do a review.

I’d like to take this time to encourage authors to send me info for a spotlight, even if you are also waiting for a review. Please be sure and contact me at bonniereadsandwrites@gmail.com. Send me the cover art, a book blurb, an author bio, and anything else you want to be included in the post. (If you have a book trailer, send it to me. I love them.) I will add buy links.
