Welcome to the Book Lovers' Blog Hop here at Story Time Under The Stars. This is a new Tuesday "blog" hop for book lovers, but there is a comment twist to the Book Lovers' Blog Hop.
Most book lovers and book reviewers put a lot of time and effort into their book reviews, but quite often it gets few, if any, comments unless there is a giveaway attached. Don't get me wrong, I love book giveaways, but it would be nice to actually have someone read and comment on the book reviews that book lovers put so much time and effort into.
The Rules:
1. Follow Story Time Under the Stars
2. Link up your favorite book review below (it can be old or new).
3. Follow the person before you
4. Comment!!!! Leave a comment on the person before you's book review(s).
5. Follow and comment on as many blogs and book reviews that you would like to.
6. Follow and comment back - to make this Book Lovers' Blog Hop a success, comments are essential!
Bonus:

what a great idea for a hop - linked up one of my recent reviews and am a new follower of yours! Put the hop button on both my review page and the actual review I linked up!

Ohh nice. thanks for inviting me here FrugalMom. currently blogging about the hope now. :)
Hi! This is my first time participating in the Tuesday Book Lovers Blog Hop. I'm a new follower. Thanks for hosting!
Hi just became a follower and have added the badge to my site also as I think its a really cool idea.
My book reviews are generally all SciFi and Fantasy oriented (with some business books thrown in for good measure) so not too sure if it will appeal to the rest of your audience ... however one of my reviews is at the link below -
http://www.mou5etrap.com/2010/07/12/the-wheel-of-time-wot-the-gathering-storm/
and I would really love to get some input and feedback on it and my site in general.
Please... for next week - can you ask people to link up to one review rather than their whole blog... I would love to comment on a recent book that they've read, but some of the blogs make it difficult to find their reviews...
Just linked up. Our review probably isn't as thorough as the others, but we're working on it.
I can't believe I could only choose one book review as a favorite. Well, I can't do that, so here is one of them:

I love the idea behind this though. I have become a follower and added the badge to my site.
I am working on putting up my first review that is wayy over due so i will let you know as well:) Have a great day!
What a fabulous idea! You are absolutely right...I do put a lot of time and thought into getting my reviews just right! I was referred here by heather@actingbalanced. Love the site. I am putting your button on my blog sidebar. Here is the link to my latest review.

Thank you everyone for participating tonight, I hope you will all visit every one's reviews and comment back.
Heather, I will definitely make that more clear for next week. Thank you for adding this, I really appreciate the feedback.
Some really good books and reviews last week. Looking forward to reading more this week!
My newest submission is Rally Cry by William R. Forstchen. It is the first book in the Lost Regiment series and details the story of the 35th Maine Regiment.
It is another SciFi book but is extremely well written and for anyone with an interest in military SciFi this is a real page turner.
You can find the review here - http://www.mou5etrap.com/2010/09/03/rally-cry/
sorry for the double post ... just realized that I should have input my details above first before coming to the comments section ... :(

Hopefully I've got it right this time! :)
My newest review is a fantasy one called Magician by Raymond E Feist. It tells the story of two young boys growing up in a war torn land. With magic and dragons, swords, elves and fighting its a really good read for anyone from 13+ yrs of age (I'm a lot older than that and I loved it too!) ... one of the few series that I re-read every couple of years, its an "old friend" and worth a visit.
In case my linking doesn't work properly you can find it here - http://www.mou5etrap.com/2010/09/17/1334/
btw - litlad (http://litlad.blogspot.com/) is a really good site ... I've started to get my daughter (age 7) to do similar ones, but haven't gotten her to the stage where she can write her own yet which is the next step.
Adding my blog to the hop. What a terrific idea! I love the concept very much. I am following you and will add my wordpress blog too because I believe I have book reviews there not so much on blogger!
Best,
Eliz
