Book Blog Hop: Books in the Mail and Music

 

Hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer
Welcome everyone to another post of Book Blogger Hop (hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer). Each week there will be a new topic submit by a blogger and everyone can join in with their answers. You should join us! It's quite fun!

This Weeks Topic/Question

When you receive new books in the mail, do the older ones get moved to the bottom of your list or do go strictly "by the book" and keep your list with older books first and then the new ones? (submitted by Elizabeth)

Thoughtful Thrusday: Does Genre Pick Format?

Hosted by Reading Is Fun Again
Pam over at Reading Is Fun Again (great blog name) started the new meme to get a few thoughts on a few bookish things.  You know how much I love sharing my thoughts/opinions on stuff I thought it would be perfect to add my two cents in too!

I created Thoughtful Thursday, because bookish thoughts kept popping up in my mind while reading, and I wanted to explore these questions and get your opinions too! -From Reading Is Fun Again

Today's Thoughtful Thursday Question

Does the type of book (e.g., genre, demographic, page length) inspire you to read the book in a particular format (e.g., audio book, paperback, hardcover, e-book)?

#BookBlogWalkers Update

#BookBlogWalkers

 Hosted by Geeky Blogger Book Bag

I signed up awhile ago to join this 30 min a day walking challenge.  I know I was suppose to post my weekly updates on Friday but....I was lazy.  No not about walking.  Just posting.  

What is #BookBlogwalkers about?  Read this excerpt from Geeky Blogger Book Bag.

UPDATED: To reflect year long change!

Book Blog Walkers Unite! Book Blog Walkers is BACK

Alright! Here we go again. I am going to get a little fitness orientated for the month of
January2014. I thought it would be super cool if we could get a group together to keep each other on track again! Let’s start Jan with one small goal that could build a good foundation for the rest of the year.

• For the month of Jan 2014 I will be following the hashtag #bookblogwalkers on both Facebook and Twitter! If you decide to play along then just use that hashtag!

• Every Sunday in Jan I will be doing a shout out to all the blogs that participated (even if you do one day–you deserve to be recognized) on Twitter. Figure it will be fun to see who is getting their walk on!

• At the end of the month, I will put all the participants names in a hat and giveaway a book of your choice from Amazon/Book Depository up to a $10 value.

Help: I Need A Few Book Suggestions

Host:  Escape with Dollycas Into a Good Book

I need a few book suggestions for a few letters for this reading challenge.  I am really trying to read as many books this year from my bookcase for all the reading challenges.  The 2014 Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge will be a real reading challenge because I have a few letters missing from the huge TBR pile in my living room.  

So I thought I would throw it out there.  

I would love to get a few book recommendations for book titles starting with the following letters.
