Book Blog Hop and Follow Friday (Feb 4) ~ Sniffly Kitty's Mostly Books

Welcome from Book Blog Hop hosted by Crazy for Books and Follow Friday hosted by Parajunkee!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

What are you reading now and why are you reading it?

I'm reading Life as We Knew It right now because a friend recommended it months ago, and I'm finally getting around to reading it. I'm really bad at reading recommended books (from people I trust) right away, but eventually I do read them heh~~

Loving the Reviews Challenge (and giveaway event extravaganza) has started! There are going to be a ton of authors giving away stuff and all you have to do is what you all normally do - review books! Check out the details and sign up and link up! We just added Lily of the Nile by Stephanie Dray (our guest poster tomorrow) to our prize pool ^.^

Krista D. Ball wrote an excellent post about loving a child as part of the Loving the Reviews Challenge yesterday ^.^

I only had 1 review this past week because of tests and such which was Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

What book are you currently pushing?

You mean other people only push 1 book at a time?! Ha! HA! It really depends on what the person I'm pushing books on has read... but I push

The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett
Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey
Old Man's War by John Scalzi
Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Unwind by Neal Shusterman
Soulless by Gail Carriger

I'm sure there are more that I push heh....

It's been so much fun so far and has really motivated me to read, so thank you for that! I think I've already linked up 4 reviews since the start of the month and I'm about to add a fifth!

Here's my hop and weekly round-up!

Beth February 4, 2011 at 7:36 AM: I haven't heard of this book before. I think I'm with Small Review, I'll check back for a review.

Nice blog.

Sniffly Kitty February 4, 2011 at 9:59 AM: @Kylie I really have no idea!

@Small Review and Beth It's pretty good so far ^.^
Deb Nance at Readerbuzz February 4, 2011 at 10:20 AM: I'm bloghopping today, seeing what people are currently reading, befriending new blogs. I'm reading a children's book from New Zealand called Under the Mountain that is on the 1001 Children's Books You Must Read list. Excellent.

And I am your newest follower! Hope you will stop by my blog and say hello!
Jenni Elyse February 4, 2011 at 11:14 AM: I'm the same way. My book recommendations depend on who I'm talking to. But, overall, my most common recommendation has been The Hunger Games series.
Keith Schoch February 4, 2011 at 11:27 AM: I'm your newest follower! Hopping by to check in; visit in turn if you can.

The book I'm pushing is Fatty Legs, a terrific story of a girl's unbroken spirit in the face of hostility and alienation.

You can read my review of it here:

TC February 4, 2011 at 12:05 PM: Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog. Probably because my tastes are quite eclectic what I recommend varies a lot depending who's asking too!
Lucia (iLive, iLaugh, iLove Books) February 4, 2011 at 2:04 PM: Happy Chinese New Year to you, too! The only book on your list that I've heard of is Unwind. The author came to our school last year and I bought Full Tilt. It's a good book!

Happy Friday!

Howard Sherman February 4, 2011 at 2:49 PM: Good answer! The answer on my book blog is a little embarassing; it’s a book that’s been sitting on my TBR pile for a year.

To my shame, I only opened the book because I remember it contained an Amazon gift card.

Hop on over!
