In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and find new book-related blogs that we may be missing out on! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed! So, grab the logo, post about the Hop on your blog, and start HOPPING through the list of blogs that are posted in the Linky list below!!
  The Hop lasts Friday-Monday every week, so if you don’t have time to Hop today, come back later and join the fun! This is a weekly event! And stop back throughout the weekend to see all the new blogs that are added! We get over 200 links every week!!
  Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.
  If you start following someone through the Hop, leave a comment on their blog to let them know! Stop back during the week to see other blogs that are added! And, most importantly, the idea is to HAVE FUN!!

1. Family is the number 1 priority.
2. My son, when on the phone, walks back and forth.
3. I love a book that i a good thriller.
4. Cooking for and eating with family makes a good meal.
5. I’ve got the laptop charged, just in case.
6. Hurricaine Earl is on the way: wth!!!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m NOT looking forward to Hurricaine Earl, tomorrow my plans include weekly computer to-do list, reading, relaxing and Sunday, I want to sit by and in the pool reading!

  Why I decided to start this meme – When I read a book and come across the title, it always brings a sense of accomplishment and I think clever, interesting or I just smile with that ahh moment. So I decided to create this meme hoping it starts great conversation on each others blogs especially when we have read the same book.

From Lori’s site:
  It struck me recently how much time I spend on this computer every day, blogging, chatting or playing games on Facebook, emailing friends and relatives, making cards and calendars, etc. etc. etc.
  We depend on each other for book reviews, giveaways, encouragement, friendship, but how well do we really know each other?
  This week school started for my kids and I realized what that means. Think back, if you are old like me, think way back,what happens at the start of a school year.
  You renew friendships and make new ones.
  You get to know each other.
  So that is what this meme is all about, getting to know each other.
Each Thursday I will post 3 questions for you to answer that you can copy and post on your blog with your answers.

Elmer’s Virtual Bag It Forward And Adopt A Classroom

Dolly over at Xmas Dolly sent me a Elmer’s Virtual Bag.  It has been years since I have had to do school supplies shopping with my boys.  I have to admit, it was a chore I enjoyed.  So when Dolly sent me this Virtual Bag to help students, I was glad to help.

ELMER’S VIRTUAL “BAG IT FORWARD” rules:

• Create a post giving a “virtual bag of school supplies” to other bloggers or write about your Back to School shopping trip at Walmart.
• Link back to the person who gave you a bag of school supplies.
• Let each person you are giving a virtual bag of school supplies know you have given them a bag.
• Leave your link in the Elmer’s Virtual Bag It Forward comment section. You can also find the official rules of this virtual #bagitforward program there.
