Friday Blog Hop - January 7th

Book Blogger Hop
In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and find new book-related blogs that we may be missing out on! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed!

Each week, participating blogs are asked questions to post and answer on their websites.

This week’s question –

What book influenced or changed your life? How did it influence/change you?

Last year I read Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver and I found that this book really touched me. Lauren took us through all of the different types of peer pressure that you can experience growing up. When I was younger, I started to become a mean girl at school and then within a few months, things were turned around and I was the one who was ostracized from my group, rather than initiating and intimdating others. I learned quickly about making better choices and treating others with respect. Before I Fall reminded me of who I could have been had I stayed on the same path and the choices I've made to become who I am now. (Christinabean)

Welcome to the Paperback Princesses! Make yourself at home, take a look around our blog and let us know what you think in the comments section. We would love to hear what you have to say about our posts. We often try to comment on your comments as well so feel free to start a conversation! Since there are two of us running the show, we always have a variety of titles and event postings. Be sure to check out our own personal meme page. Check out Fantastic Fairytales, Let's Hear it for the Boys, In Case you Missed it and a few others. We try to not only focus on new YA books but also great titles from the past.

  2. I checked Before I Fall out from the library and didn't read it. :( I thought it might be depressing, and I wasn't in the frame of mind for that. I may take a revisit! Come Blog Hop over: http://ataleofmanyreviews.blogspot.com/2011/01/book-blogger-hop-and-follow-friday.html

  7. What a touching story! I ended up choosing Twilight because it was one of the first books that I interacted with strangers about. (More on my blog!)

    Have a good week!
