We're Doing the Book Blogger Hop

-

It's that time again, Friday and it's Book Blogger Hop time . I love this meme as I love exploring and discovering new blogs to join , I always try and join 5 new blogs a day.

Today's Question:
"What very popular and hyped book in the blogosphere did you NOT enjoy and how did you feel about posting your review?"



                                                                    Today's Answer :
For me , this is actually a question that I have always wondered , whether you have read a book that you saw on a blog and didn't enjoy . For me, It is very rare but I did try and read "The Hunger Game Trilogy" by Suzanne Collins as I saw how everybody on the blog network got excited about Mockingbird , and I just couldn't get into it all. The other is the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Trilogy , I tried reading the first book and couldnt get past the 2nd chapter , it was a yawn for me. When I read , I need either excitement or an excellent plot and storyline to follow.

                                                      Today's Phantom Paragrapher Question:

I noticed a lot of Secret Santa Blog Exchanges going , Have you participated in one before or Participating this year and Have you signed up for any 2011 Book Blog Challenges ?

    I am doing a Secret Santa this year .. excited I am! And I haven't officially signed up for the 2011 challenges, but will be posting some in the next couple of weeks and signing on .. the Just for Fun Reading Challenge, New Year's Reading Resolutions, Steampunk Challenge (actually, that one started this year, but goes through 2011), the Off the Shelf Challenge, and the Outdo Yourself challenge (wow, that's a lot of challenges, eh?). Wow .. you didn't like The Hunger Games? Once I started, I couldn't put the first two down. I didn't like Mockingjay AS much, but, except for the ending, I liked it. I've only read the first Stieg Larsson, but really liked it as well. And that's why we read and blog; we're not all going to like the same things!

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
