Book Blogger Hop: July 14-20

Published on July 18, 2023July 1, 2023 by Celeste4 Comments

The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.

Book Review: Her Majesty’s Royal Coven by Juno Dawson

Published on July 17, 2023July 6, 2023 by Celeste6 Comments

Today’s review is about HER MAJESTY’S ROYAL COVEN by Juno Dawson. The premise of this book sounded interesting and I’d heard that there’s a good amount of LGBTQ representation. Unfortunately, the presentation fell flat for me for many reasons.

Today’s review is about LOVELIGHT FARMS by B.K. Borison, a small town romance. It’s set at a Christmas tree farm around the holiday season, so this would be a great read for those who appreciate holiday romances.

Short-Term Hiatus

Published on July 7, 2023July 2, 2023 by Celeste12 Comments

Good morning! I will be on a short-term hiatus. Everything is ok, but I will be on vacation and not really able to blog hop or reply to any comments. I scheduled a few posts, though, so this blog won’t be completely dead. So, if you leave any comments, know that I will appreciate them and I’ll return and reply to them in due time. Twitter is much easier for me to partake in while on vacation, so I still plan to read blog posts and boost them on that platform.

Have a great July, everyone!
