Book Blogger Hop: July 22

Hey everyone! I took a much needed mini-hiatus, but I'm back now!

Time for the Book Blogger Hop! The prompt that Jen at Crazy-for-Books has presented is, "Tell us about the book you're currently reading."

I just started reading Maeve Binchy's Heart and Soul. I'm enjoying it so far!

What are you reading? Anything good?

Book Blogger Hop: July 8

Time for the Book Blogger Hop! The prompt that Jen at Crazy-for-Books has presented is, "Tell us about some of your favorite authors and why they are your favorites!"

My favorite authors are John Steinbeck, J.K. Rowling, and Steve Kluger. Steinbeck is a fantastic American author with epic novels that really get to the core of humanity. His books are some of the few 'classics' that I still pick up and read, again and again. J.K. Rowling crafted the series that was, essentially, my childhood. (And speaking of which, I really need to reread Harry Potter!) Steve Kluger writes delightfully funny novels, both adult and young adult, about love.

How about you? What are your favorite authors?

Thanks for stopping hopping on by!

Book Blogger Hop: July 1

I'm participating in my first (real) Book Blogger Hop today! The question that Jen at Crazy-for-Books has asked is, "What is your name and why did you start blogging?"

My name is Jess, and I'm 21 years old. I'm a recent graduate and I'm attending graduate school this fall. I began blogging a couple of weeks ago because a group of friends from the College Students group on Goodreads and I decided to form a group book blog, which inspired me to start blogging on my own! I think that book blogging will be a good way for me to meet new friends, remember the books I've read, and think more critically about my reads.
