I read A Note from an Old Acquaintance by Bill Walker back in February and loved it. The book was his debut novel and what a first book it was!!! In case you read it or are planning to read it in the near future, knowing that he is going on tour again, Bookventures is hosting a chat with Mr. Walker over the next couple of days. Wanted to share the link for you in case you have any questions or comments that you might like to add. Head on over to http://grou.ps/bookventuresbookclub/119737#. He is also asking his readers to help him name the title of the sequel and he will be naming them in the acknowledgment section of the book. How cool would that be…to see your name in print!!??!!

Today’s Topic:
Do you have friends and family to share books with? Discuss them with? Does it matter to you?
Do you have friends and family to share books with? Discuss them with? Does it matter to you?
My Response:
Between my family and friends, there are only 2 people that love to read and they live out of state. I send the majority of my books to my cousin and we will share what we think in our emails or she will check out my blog to read my review of a book I have sent to her. It does matter, especially when I finish a book that I can’t wait to discuss with someone. That is one of the main reasons I started this blog, because now I have many friends to discuss my books with, to see what they are reading and which books they recommend.

Today’s Question:
What are you currently reading? Would you recommend it to others? Is it part of a series (if so, which one)? What are you thinking about it? What book(s) would you compare it to, if any?
My Answer:
My current read is Through Hazel Eyes by Heather Hummel. It is not part of a series and yes I would definitely recommend it. Matter of fact, I would say, make sure you enter the giveaway I am hosting. Ms. Hummel has generously offered 2 signed copies for my followers/visitors. When I feel that I can vividly imagine what is happening in the storyline due to the author’s writing style and descriptions, that’s a good book. Where I am so engrossed in the plot that I am transported and not aware of what is going on around me…that is a great book. And Through Hazel Eyes has all those ingredients.
