What is a blog hop?  It is a way to link up a bundle of blogs for one purpose so it’s easier for readers to find ways to win books. Hosted by I Read Banned Books and I Am A Reader, Not a Writer (badge above links to the blog site for our hosts). With 250+ additional blogs you can link to at the bottom of this page offering bookish giveaways.Hum and Shiver

Thanks Jen -
Commenting on 200 blogs that's a lot of work. I too definitely support the banning of banned books.

A few of my all time favs are on the list, and I would have missed them if they had been completely taken off the shelves. Heartbreaking.

I agree - Banning books is ridiculous. If you don't like a book don't read it and if you don't want your kids to read it then don't let them.
It's that simple. Don't choose the book I can or can't read.

I am so sick of vampires.... Gary - really its sad that I have all these vamp books in my pile for review. The next set of YAWN BOOKS may be zombies but I think I may have another year before I go over the edge for that one.

I have heard of Anno.... but have not added it due to my vampire boredom. Maybe I will like it. But only if its brilliant and literary -I will be off now to check out your review if it is live.
Cheers!!

Thanks Gary -
Ah a page turner... I have heard a lot of chatter about the novellas. Page turners are good/fun/ect for a brain break from the heavy stuff.

So I will read your review and add it at your recommendation.

I am not sure when I will read it..as I am currently reading a page turner called - The Last Days by Rhiannon Slater/Frater ???. She was self published and picked up by Tor.

Its genre fiction and its easy to read and darn good. I thought I would just read a bit and perhaps put it to the side but nope...

I really need to read faster, and I am so behind on reviews since I lost a ton in our "Gremlin Attack" = computer hard drive crash.

Cheers Gary - it will be 105 degrees here today. Getting cold in England yet? (Rhetorical smart ass question.)

Wow that is so so cool - in California we call that Indian summer!

England is glorious when the sun shines we has the most brilliant weather for our last trip...
I noticed the Southern Western end is quite a bit warmer than the dales.

Don't get sunburned - lol!
