Lovely Little Shelf

Book Blog Hop (26)

Morning!  It’s only 7:20 and it’s already a great day because 1- Isaac is sleeping in (his party last night must have wore him out!), 2- I got some reading time in this morning, and 3- we’re headed out of town this evening to see all Isaac’s grandparents!  Fun stuff, huh?

If you haven’t been by in a week or so, go check out the First Annual Book Review-a-thon! Sign-ups are still open and it starts Sunday!  This is a great way to get through a looming pile of reviews or just get started on a newer blog.  Hope you’ll join us!

On to the hop!

If you aren’t familiar, the Book Blog Hop is hosted by Jenn over at Crazy for Books and is just a chance to get new visitors to your blog and, in turn, check out a bunch of great new blogs.  I’ve found some of my favorite book blogs this way and get so exited every week to find new ones.

The question this week is: Let’s talk book titles! Highlight one or two (or as many as you like!) titles in your personal collection that have the most interesting titles.

Although I didn’t love the book, I think that the title “If I am Missing or Dead” is kind of perfect.  It is unique, catchy and drew me in quickly.  Another book that I didn’t like, but LOVED the title is “The Yiddish Policeman’s Union”…. hmmm…. maybe the phrase should be “Never Judge a Book by its Title” because I’ve always had pretty good luck with the covers :)

Again, if you’re here from the Hop, thanks for stopping by!  Leave a comment with a link to your blog and I’ll be sure to repay the visit!

    I easily came up with five crazy book titles just by taking a fast look at my bookshelf.

    All five come from the same book series. Can you guess which series it is?

    Here’s a hint – The book series is a trilogy in five parts.

    Definitely. We should not be judging books by their titles.

    I’d love to have you stop by my blog and take a look at my post, The Hop: Reading a Jigsaw Puzzle. And don’t forget to sign up for the Readerbuzz August Giveaway!
