Category: Book Blog Hop

One of the things I’ve been trying to do a lot of since starting this blog is check out other awesome book review blogs and get involved in some of the weekly challenges and prompts they use.

Today I’m going to be taking part in the Book Blogger Hop! This is currently active over at Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer and bloggers all over the sphere get involved to answer the prompt, visit some of the other responses, and make new connections!

This week’s prompt comes from Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer and they asked:  “Do you read historical fiction?“

And my answer is: Yeah, I do!

Historical Fiction isn’t my most read genre, as I tend toward Sci-Fi/Fantasy, but I still really enjoy it.

I love when the two genres crossover, especially. The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon is one of my particular favorites. I’ll be with this one until the end and definitely recommend if this genre-fusion interests you. Je suis prest.

I’ve had good luck in Adult and YA fiction too! Code Name Verity, a YA historical fiction novel set in WWII, is one of my favorite books that I never miss an opportunity to recommend or talk about. That book made me feel impossible joy and deep sadness, all while making me appreciate what it means to be human. WOAH, I know I just got really deep on y’all for a second, but that’s just how much I love that book. Go read it!

A few more of my Historical Fiction favorites!

• Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
• The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
• The Red Tent by Anita Diamant
• Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
• The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

This week’s prompt comes from Elizabeth @ Silver’s Reviews and they asked:  “What authors do you always read or recommend?”

And my answer is: A few of them! I did a post a few months ago on my Auto-Buy Authors, but not all of them are what I would consider books that I recommend to “everyone.”

The authors off the top of my head that I find myself recommending the most often are– Jenny Lawson, Brene Brown, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Riley Sager. For SF/F lovers its Jim Butcher and Patricia Briggs and Jay Kristoff.

Who’s your “go-to recommendation?” Leave a comment and recommendation for me below!

This week’s prompt comes from Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer and they asked:  “Do you own more than one copy of a book?”

And my answer is: Oh hell, yeah. But only a special few haha.

Listen, I would love to collect every cover of every book I love. But If I did that, moving from one apartment to another would be an insane feat of humanity that I would never want to undertake again. So, for a while, I’m being smart with which books I purchase physically. Or…I’m trying my very best to be.

With that said, there are a few books that I do own multiple copies of and most of them are beloved favorites.

I own two copies of my favorite fantasy series, The Dresden Files, hardback and paperback. That wasn’t on purpose but just happened naturally over the years and years that I’ve read that series. I used to annotate my paperbacks too, so it’s fun to have one copy that’s been marked over and over and another that’s clean and fresh.

I also own multiple (many) copies of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. These were my first and favorite fantasy stories and I love them and Middle-Earth so much, so yeah. I’m that lady with 18 editions of the hobbit in her living room haha. Literally. (Though I haven’t counted.) I love collecting these in multiple languages and covers, especially through gifts or thrifting. It’s been fun to collect them all.

I’m sure there are a few scattered others but these are the big ones.

What about you? Do you own multiple copies of books you love?

Leave me a comment letting me know!

This week’s prompt comes from Elizabeth @ Silver’s Reviews and they asked:  “Do you always have a book with you?”

And my answer is: Oh, yes.

Especially with technology how it is today, at the very least I’ve got my entire kindle and audible catalog on my phone at all times. You know, just in case I’m trapped in an elevator or want to listen while driving or have to sit in a waiting room. I usually have a physical book on me too but it just depends on what I’m reading at the time. I tend to read multiple books across formats pretty frequently.

How about you?? Do you have a book with you at all times?? Leave a comment and tell me about it!

This week’s prompt comes from Nicki @ Nicki J. Markus/Asta Idonea and they asked:  “What do you like/dislike about self-published works?”

And my answer is: There’s a lot to love. The creativity, the freedom, the odd niches you can find in a genre that you didn’t know were there before, these things are special and much less rare in Indie/Self-pub novels. I really enjoy making sure that there are always a few of these sitting on my shelves and TBR, because where else can you find such diamonds in the rough?

What don’t I like? Not much, really. Sometimes the quality or finish or cover can be a little less put together than a professional publication, but a lot of times that can be deceiving. I tend to err on the positive side until I’ve seen for myself.

What do you think about Indie/Self-pub works?? How often do you read them??
