Hi Everyone!
Happy Summer and welcome to the Summer Blog Promo Tour hosted by The Book Bratz! I am so excited to have been selected to be part of the tour in which I get to help promote other bloggers to you this summer on Sundays during the months of July and August! I also get the fun opportunity to post on their blogs, so I hope you will check out their posts as well!
Without further ado, let's continue this process with Flo from Book Nerds Across America! I asked her if she would share with us about her New Kids on the Block Obsession. When I was a kid, I had the Jordan Knight doll, so when I found this out about her, I knew I had to ask about it! :)
*****************************
Hi! I'm Flo from Book Nerds Across America...and I am obsessed with
New Kids on the Block. Legit obsessed. I can't even play. Book Nerds
Across America is co-run by 3 of us in different states. I met Jacque on
a New Kids on the Block cruise (she was my roomie!) and that's how we
became friends and she eventually joined Mary and I on the blog. Yes,
New Kids cruise. I have been on...5 of them, I believe. And whenever
they tour, I go to one or two shows.
All this
to say I was SO EXCITED when Valerie told me that a NKOTB Book Tag post
was a Thing. I've never heard of posts like this, but I already love
this one and any others. Have you done one? Link it up in the comments
so I can see!
Anyway, here is mine:
Didn't
I (Blow Your Mind): We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. I think I've talked
to people who said they either predicted the ending or this book or had
it spoiled for them (sad!), but I had NO IDEA. I literally closed this
book thinking, "What just happened?!?!" I was completely floored, and
remained so for several days.
New Kids on the
Block: Last Seen Leaving by Caleb Roehrig. I was lucky enough to snag an
ARC at BEA and we reviewed it on the blog in June. We are loved it, and
we all love him! (You should follow him on Twitter, he is fun and
hilarious and so sweet!) I am excited for it to be out in the masses, so
everyone can get caught up in the mystery of it.
Cover
Girl: These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner. I read
this book based on the cover alone. I didn't read the synopsis before I
started reading it. I saw the cover, I loved the cover, so I read and
reviewed the book.
Hangin' Tough: So many these days, which is awesome! Another fun fact about me is that I am on staff at Down With the Capitol (www.hungergamesdwtc.net),
which is a Hunger Games fansite. My obsession with the Hunger Games is
just about on par with my obsession over New Kids on the Block. So I
have to say Katniss here. In fact, I just painted her yesterday at one
of those wine and canvas classes.
Twisted:
Anything by Cassandra Clare. Every time I finish one of her books, I'm
left at the end re-reading the last page or so just to make sure I
really did just read what I thought I read.
Crash:
Get ready for what may be an unpopular opinion here....50 Shades of
Grey by E.L. James. I wrote kind the ranty review on this one. I just
can't with this book. I can't.
Miss You More: Wow, what was my most recent book hangover...? Wait a minute -- BRB.
Ok,
I'm back. I'm going to say Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. This is
nonfiction, but it really inspired me not to give up on my writing.
Fighting
Gravity: Red Rising by Pierce Brown. In fact, I almost want to go back
and change my last answer to Golden Son, which was the second book in
the Red Rising trilogy. Actually, Golden Son was a Miss You More and a
Twisted and a Didn't I Blow Your Mind! Anyway, this trilogy is amazing
-- go read it if you haven't!
Single: I am glad
this is on here, as I love standalone books and don't think they get
enough love! I am going to go with Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen. What a
feel-good story! I want to hug all the characters!
2
in the Morning: The last book that kept me up past my bedtime was One
Paris Summer by Denise Grover Swank. It's a new release -- a love story
set in Paris, and it's absolutely adorable!
Lights, Camera, Action: The Gallagher Academy series by Ally Carter.
This might actually be better as like a Freeform TV show? A little
cheesy maybe, but overall a lot of fun!
Put it on my Tab: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! This book releases on July 31st and as you read this blog post, I already own a copy. (I'm getting it a midnight release party.)
Please Don't Go Girl: Vampire Academy and Bloodlines. I flew through those 12 books in no time!
This
was so much fun! Thank you to Valerie for hosting me today! And if you
have any questions about New Kids on the Block, I am your girl ;-)
