Welcome to my post for this week for Follow (my book blog) Friday hosted by Parajunkee and the Book Blogger Hop hosted by Crazy-For-Books. Please go visit those sites for a huge list of great blogs to check out.!
Also, don't forget to check out my first ever giveaway here.
The Follow Friday question this week is:
What do you do besides reading / reviewing as a hobby??
I love to cook. I also sew and have an embroidery machine -- I made a book bag for my secret santa! (She already got it, so I can say that.) My husband and I have an RV, and we love to go camping with our dog as much as possible. I post about all these other hobbies on my "other" blog here.
The Book Blog Hop asks:
"What very popular and hyped book in the blogosphere did you NOT enjoy and how did you feel about posting your review?"
I haven't been blogging that long, so there hasn't been any book that I really didn't like. But I can pull one from the past that I could not get through, and it was pretty popular. Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass. I keep telling myself I should go back and try it again, but I just really didn't enjoy trying it the first time, and now there's all those other books in my TBR . . .
I hope that everyone realizes that when I post a review it's my opinion, and everyone has different tastes in books, just like in every other aspect of life. I never slam the author, I just say why it didn't suit my tastes.

Thanks for visiting. Hope you enjoyed my blog and come back and visit often!
I didn't love The Golden Compass, either. You've got a nice blog here!

ReplyDeleteI never read The Golden Compass. It never appealed to me.
Hi,
ReplyDeletePopping in to return the favor for following me :)
I also enjoying cooking and would sew if I had a machine (hand sewing = too much work :D )
Old follower hopping by :) I agree wholeheartedly about reviewing a book based on your own opinion without slamming the writer. That is a respectful policy & I do the very same. Enjoy your weekend :)
ReplyDeleteOld follower hopping through. I haven't read The Golden Compass, and maybe that is a good thing! LOL.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
