With the New Year I'm trying some new things. Today I'm participating in two "new to me" memes — the Book Bloggers Hop, hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books & Follow My Book Blog Friday, hosted at Parajunkee's View. I am also putting up my weekly recap... get it? "Follow My Hop Recap?"
If you're a new follower, please leave me a link to your blog in the comments below so that I can return the hello!
This week's question from the Hop: What book influenced or changed your life? How so?
The first book I remember staying up all night to finish was "Titanic: The Long Night" when I was in middle school. That was really the start of it for me.
This week's question from Follow Me Friday: What books have you discovered lately from someone's book blog?
I read the review for "Hamlet's Blackberry" by William Powers at Sophisticated Dorkiness and thought it sounded like an interesting review. I met Kim this past fall at the Twin Cities Book Fair and as soon as I read the review, I marked it "to-read" at Goodreads. I also came across this Spotlight on Gothic Fiction (something I know very little about) at Small Review. I really liked the premise of "The Twin's Daughter" and found it at the library yesterday!
This week at Miss Remmers' Review A very late Sunday Salon — where I take on all forms of bullying Review — "Knightley Academy" Too Awesome to Title Review — "Delirium" Reading — Not a Solitary Activity
