Bookish Blog Hops is a group for people taking part in bookish blog hops. The current blog hop is "My Bookish Valentine".

Each day of the blog hop a different member hosts a bookish question on their blog and includes the answers from other members in the post.

It's a fun way to collaborate together to reach a bigger audience, and spread the love of books.

I run the group, and post about upcoming blog hops that you can be part of.

My Bookish Valentine

Come and join in the fun and be part of the My Bookish Valentine Blog Hop. If you're a book blogger,and want to collaborate with others, this is a fun way of driving new traffic to your site whilst networking with others.

This is how it works:

Join the Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/127759384464964/ (this is the official group for Bookish Blog Hops and where everything is organised).

In the group you'll find the sign up link for the blog hop and have access to the files for that blog hop. You just add your name and url next to the question you would like to host (under host), and sign up for the questions you want to answer. You can answer as few, or as many as you like. The more you answer, the more visibility you get.

Using the files link you then go to the dates for the questions you signed up for and post your answer to each question in the word file. You can upload a head shot photo of yourself or the cover of the book(s) you talk about in your answer to be used in the post.

Everyone taking part in the blog hop will be sharing each of the posts and so it's a nice way to reach a wider audience. It creates good backlinks between the sites too which helps them rate better in search results. It also gives hosts easy content for their sites as they just copy and paste the answers from the file in their blog post.

These are the questions for the My Bookish Valentine Blog Hop which will be taking place in February:

N.B. You don't have to host in order to be able to answer the questions. You can just answer the questions, although you'll get more traffic to your site if you host too ;)

I hope you can join us.
