This week:

"How do you spread the word about your blog?
(e.g. Social Networking sites, Book Blog Directories, comments on other blogs...)"

My answer: well thats an easy one! The main way I spread my blog is right here, through Blog Hop and Follow Friday! I always try to hop over to as many blogs as I can and say hey! Most of the time bloggers see my comment on their blog and hop back over to mine. And that's how I get the word out! Also, my first contest spread the word quite a bit.

This weeks Follow Friday question:

What books have bitten you?

My answer: I have two main books: The Harry Potter Series and The Hunger Games. In fact, right now I am re-reading the Harry Potter series in honor of the seventh movie, which comes out in November! I'm just trying to re-fresh my mind for everything that has happened to Harry from the first to seventh books. And with the Hunger Games, I have read it so many times and it never gets old! And I never want to stop reading it!

Have fun hopping! And heres my rule: If you follow me, I will follow you back!

This weeks Blog Hop question:

When you write reviews, do you write them as you are reading or wait until you have read the entire book?

My answer: I wait until I have finished the book before I start writing my reviews. I do this because often times the overall theme of the book is a process that takes the entire book to understand, and is powerfully concluded near the end. My rating for a book is decided upon the story, plot, theme, character development etc. which is hard to ascertain simply by reading and reviewing page by page. In my opinion, it takes the whole book to make it be "reviewable".

This weeks FF question:

What is your high fashion book? (Best cover ever!)

My answer: On The Adoration of Jenna Fox [Hardcover] book. there is a butterfly. If you look closely to the butterfly, a part of its left wing is missing. I would say close to ten percent. I will not say anymore about the wing, but for those of you who have read this book I hope you understand the importance of this. It's not the beauty of the cover that I love, but rather the important relation to the story from the cover.

Hoppers, I will follow you back if you let me know that you follow me!

This week:

In honor of Book Blogger Appreciation Week, let's take time this week to honor our favorite book bloggers and why we love them!

At the moment, I have two favorite book bloggers. My favorite blog is The Smarty Owl, a YA book blog by Okapi and Rica Eat World. They have by far the best blog I know of, and their reviews are AMAZING. My second favorite blog is I'd So Rather Be Reading by Kelli and Natalie, because they were the ones who gave me my first two blog awards. And they have given me multiple positive comments on many of my reviews.

For you hoppers and followers out there: Leave me a comment saying you follow me, and I'll follow you back!

Also, be sure to check out my contest!

Ends September 30

Have a great weekend!

This weeks question:

Post a link to a favorite post or book review that you have written in the past three months.

My Answer: Well, first off, It's not really a question. So this is not really an answer, it's more of a response. Anyways, I think that the best book review I've done yet is on the book Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan. For all you bloggers that commented on it, thanks so much for the wonderful comments!

This weeks question:Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?
My answer: Yes, I do have a rating system. I call it beasts :P. There are a total of 5 beasts: a Turtle, a Hippo, a Tiger, an Elephant, and a Flamingo. If they are all there, that means I loved the book. If only the turtle is there, that means the book was under my standards. I use a rating system because it helps me remember how much I enjoyed a book, and also it's useful because often when other blogs review the same book, they also have ratings, and I can compare them. Ratings are good for summing things up, and they are pretty powerful. Sometimes they tell me if I should consider picking up a book or not. Even if I know that I shouldn't be influenced by other peoples opinions.See my full rating system!

So, I was in D.C this past week and I just got back at around 3 this morning, so I missed Follow Friday :( but there's always good ol' Blog Hop to count on!

This Weeks Question:

How many blogs do you follow?

My Answer: Well, on my old book blog account I am currently following 272 blogs. On this account, it's around 20 since i'm still adding to my old account, so in total it would be about 282 because lots of follows on The Book Buzzer are repeats of the blogs I am already following.

So, how many blogs are you following?

This Weeks Blog Hop Question:

How many books do you have on your 'To Be Read Shelf'?

My Answer: Oh, I have quite a few. However, not even close to as many as Crazy For Books has, which is like over, what, 700? Wow! I just went to multiple library's yesterday for a re-stock of what to read, and I have about... hmmm... 20 to-read books that I actually have a copy of right now. However, on the 'virtual' to-be read list, I definitely have hundreds of more books!

Follow Friday's question is supposed to be answered in the comments at Parajunkee's View, but I decided why not put my answer down on this post anyways since I'm blogging about Follow Friday already? So here's the question:

What is your absolutely AMAZING FANTASTIC GORGEOUS book?

My Answer: That's a hard one to answer. My amazingly fantastic gorgeous book would have to be Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. It's amazing and fantastic in so many ways, and how can you not consider it gorgeous? Not only is the cover ravishing with the whole theme of winter blue trees and a stark contrasting red dot on the i in the title, but also, the font in the book is blue. The overall tone of Shiver is astounding.

So how many to-read books do you have, and whats your absolutely amazing fantastic gorgeous book?

Blog Hop!

It's time for my first Blog Hop post!

this weeks question:

Do you listen to music when you read? If so, what are your favorite reading tunes?

My answer: I usually don't listen to music when I read because it can distract me. Although sometimes I do try listening to classical music. My favorite classical pieces are Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and three works by Aaron Copland: Simple Gifts (Appalachian Spring), Fanfare for the Common Man, and Hoedown from Rodeo. I like classical music when I'm reading or doing homework because then I won't get out of focus by singing the lyrics and then getting off task.
