Friday Finds: Women’s Fiction. Plus Book Blogger Hop

I also like being part of the weekly  Book Blogger Hop meme, hosted by Billy @ Ramblings of a Coffee Addict. So I’m doing it again today. You can read my answer to this week’s question at the bottom of this post.

Feels Like Falling by Kristy Woodson Harvey from The Bookish Libra

Suzanne is a proofreader by day, book blogger by night and a devourer of books 24/7. Unlike me, she loves reading most genres; contemporary and historical, adult and YA, and has confessed to also enjoying more and more fantasy lately. Her hobbies include: buying and hoarding of books, rambling about books to anyone who will listen and trying to recommend books to her family and friends. I love reading all her posts and enjoy the way she sets out her reviews. Suzanne really enjoyed this book, rating it 4.5 stars out of 5, saying: “Kristy Woodson Harvey is fast becoming one of my favorite authors when I’m in the mood for heartwarming stories filled with lovable characters. Feels Like Falling is a fun read that is sure to leave you with a smile on your face, but it’s also a story that is filled with heart and with so many important themes and life lessons.  I found it a very satisfying read on so many levels and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a heartwarming story about friendship and love.“

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover from Blue Mood Cafe

Jonetta is a wonderful blogger, loves reading and is fairly eclectic in her tastes (unlike me) being open to most genres. She’s open to exploring new authors too and appreciates those who not only write well but can deliciously craft a character and a tale. I love the way she writes her reviews and always take the time to read what she has to say. Jonetta thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook, saying: “I literally could not stop listening to this book. When I took a break to sleep, I woke at a ridiculous hour the next morning so I could get back to it. It’s a tale of two points of view as you get Clara’s, too. Because it’s from a teenager’s perspective, it has both young adult and contemporary adult fiction components and I’ve shelved this in both genres. I loved that two narrators were used and both did a fantastic job portraying Morgan and Clara, almost too good as they grabbed me by the throat from the start and tore up my insides. Obviously I loved everything about this one but don’t go into this thinking it will be all sweetness and light. It’s there but you’ve got to pay a steep price for it. And I wouldn’t have it any other way!”

Hooked On You by Cathryn Fox from Musings From An Addicted Reader

I don’t know who this blogger is or found out what EH stands for but their site is dedicated to reviewing books and book tours. Every genre seems to be covered including; Young Adult, Paranormal, Erotica, Thriller, Fantasy, Contemporary, Suspense and Historical. I like the way they review the books on the site, keeping it short and sweet but always tells you everything you need to know. This mystery story was rated 5 out of 5 stars, EH saying: “This was charming, you are immediately swept away into both Kira and Nates story. Nate has a secret though that is going to blow up in his face if he doesn’t come clean but at the same time he has been burned before because of it. I thought this was a perfect spring read that was visual, funny, and pulled at your heart strings.”

Now on to the Book Blogger Hop (BBH) meme.

BBH was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 but ended on 31 December 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Billy @ Ramblings of a Coffee Addict relaunched the hop on 15 February 2013.

Each week the hop starts on a Friday and ends the following Thursday. There’s a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs and learn about new books. But also to befriend other bloggers and receive new followers to your own blog. Easy!
