Books I've Read and Loved Because a Blogger Recommended Them

1. Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis - Ginger @ greadsbooks.com - Since then I've read them all and have started reading anything she writes - adult contemporary romance with great banter, friendship, and romance

2. In line at BEA, someone recommended the Bridgerton Books and I'll be forever grateful. I don't remember who I was chatting with, but we were talking about Julia Quinn (I read a few of her books, but hadn't read these.) I devoured them. And I'm so happy more are here.

3. Roller Girl recommended by librarians on those all important best books lists! And they were right, I loved it!

4. Everyone Raved about Dumplin' and it was on my list to read, but their chatter about it, made me grab it when I saw it at the library. And it was fantastic!

5. I can't remember who first starting talking about this book,but when I heard heist, I was sold. Just read the sequel and it's equally fantastic! I've be more than happy to keep reading as many Jackson Greene books as are written.

Mini Review: Roller Girl

Astrid and Nicole are best friends. When Astrid's mother takes both of them to see a roller derby match, she can't wait to try it. Nicole isn't all that interested. In fact, she seems to be much more interested in Robin, boys, and ballet. Can Astrid survive roller derby without her best friend by her side?

The Good:
Great illustrations
Friendship drama
Astrid's letters to her idol
Learning more about roller derby
The roller derby names
Getting back up after you fall down
It makes me want to learn to skate
The socks!

The Bad:
It ended too soon (I do hope there's another book or four coming!)

Overall Thoughts: One of those rare books that should be in every library! Plus is fits perfectly with this year's summer reading theme.
