- Leeswammes at Leeswammes’ Blog has announced the Back of the Book Competition (in other words, can you identify a book from its back cover?) and she’s asking her readers to submit back cover pics for this competition.
- Stacked featured a guest post by Carrie Harris entitled “The Lure of Paranormal,” which has me thinking I should give this genre another try. (I already know I want to read something by Maureen Johnson after hearing her speak last year at Book Blogger Con, so maybe Devilish?)
- Jessica at Read | React | Review asks “Can Blog Commenting Survive the Twitter and Tumblr Assault?” I don’t know about Twitter or Tumblr, but I do know that I struggle to keep up with all the commenting I’d like to be doing (and have all but given up on replying to comments on this blog).
- Melissa’s review of Bad Marie by Marcy Dermansky (over at The Betty and Boo Chronicles) has convinced me that I must read this book!
- Mr. B and I have tried twice to read Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann to each other, and both times we’ve abandoned it after a few chapters. After reading Carin’s review at Caroline Bookbinder, I’m thinking I need to give the book another try but read it on my own this time!
The Friday Five! meme was started by Kate at Kate’s Library. The rules are simple:Grab the logo. Share your favorite five (or four, or three, or whatever!) blog posts and/or articles from this week. They can be book related or not, but they need to have tickled your fancy! Share that blog love: link the post so we can all check it out. Leave a comment on the post so the author knows they made it into your Friday Five!
Have a great weekend!
Did you know Three Bags Full is orginally in German? I have a copy in German and plan to read it one of these days!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that article about paranormal books although I am one of those who don't really enjoy YA paranormal novels. I do like me some adult ones, I wish she would write a little about them. I think they are a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the link! And now I have a new blog to add to my reader!
ReplyDeleteGreat five! I added "Bad Marie" to my TBR list too. I also enjoyed the article about paranormal books - not a genre I typically enjoy. Maybe it's a "once in awhile" kind of a thing, which means it's even more important to choose the right book?
ReplyDeleteEh, Twitter and Tumblr.... I have a twitter account I barely use, but I'm refusing to sign up for Tumblr. I already spend such a large chunk of my life on the computer that adding more seems over-the-top. :)
ReplyDeletei'm an on-and-off twitter-er and just learned about tumblr this weekend. the internet is enough of a time suck as it is and i do need to sleep sometime! lol. i like this 'round up' idea. i always see great posts and this would be a good way to share them. :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the links. The one about blog comments was really interesting. I signed up for Twitter but never use it. Maybe at some point I will have to?
