What was the first book you read this year? #bookbloggerhop

The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer from Crazy-For-Books in 2010 and ended in 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Billy from Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop in 2013. Each week the hop starts on a Friday and ends 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 their own blog.
Question of the Week
What was the first book you read this year?
(Submitted by Billy from Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer)
(January 6th – January 12th)
My Answer
The first book I read this year was by Lisa Jewell – The Family Remans. I had this on my TBR list like forever, without realizing that it was the second book, and I did not read The Family Upstairs first. So needless to say I was really lost. I love Lisa Jewell’s books, so I am going to have to go back and read The Family Upstairs and then read The Family Remains again, which is fine with me.

I’ve read entire series in backwards order before on accident, so I feel your pain with this one. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by my blog.

Good to know that I should read them in order. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the visit.

Oh that would be a bit frustrating to find you’re in the second of a series! At least it’s one you won’t mind reading again once you have the context of the first! Happy Reading!
Jody
I know, right! Happy reading 😉

Discovering I’m reading the second in a series would annoy me. It sounds like it all worked out well for you, though.
Jody
Yes, it did, I was just a bit confused but I did manage. Now I want to go back and read The Family Upstairs, lol! Thank you for coming by Deb 😉

My sister likes Lisa Jewell and I got her The Family Upstairs for her birthday. I have yet to read any of her books, but she is definitely on my list!
I haven’t managed to finish any books yet this year – maybe next week?!
Have a great weekend!

I started the new year by pulling out Dewey Decimated by Allison Brook, A Haunted Library Mystery.

I just did a book tour for this book, and it sounds very interesting. Cozy mysteries use to be all that I ever read, and I love them dearly. Then I got hooked on the Psychological Thriller genre so now I am reading them allot more, but I still love my cozies. Thank you for coming by Nora 😉
