Follow Friday/Book Blogger Hop July 15


This is Follow Friday, hosted by Parajunkee's View

Today's Question is:

Q. What do I do when I am not reading?

I assume this question refers to other leisure activities ;)

I watch geeky TV and Movies on Netflix (no cable for us!) and I make art. Check out my custom dolls and action figures on my other blog, The Blue Fairy's Workshop.



Book Blogger HopThe Book Blogger Hop is hosted at Crazy-For-Books.com

Today's Question is:


How/Where do you get your books? Do you buy them or go to the library? Is there a certain website you use like paperbackswap?

The vast majority of my books come from the library. I don't have the space or money for it to be otherwise. One of the biggest things I love about living in New York City is the extensive library systems, and the fact that my closest branch is only a 5 minute walk from my front door! Next in line is the internet for free or cheap ebooks for my Kindle, usually found on either Amazon or Baen.com, or manybooks.net for public domain works.

Happy Hopping, everyone!

If the Fates Allow (crosspost)

If the Fates Allow Edited by Annie Harper, 2017 New Release! I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for the purpose of review. Premise: Five stories of love, hope, and forgiveness at the holidays. Do you need some warm and fuzzy holiday cheer? Do you love love? This new collection features five LGBTQ holiday romances that make your heart feel full of sugarplums. I smiled and sighed and giggled. It's seriously sweet, without being too sweet.

The Silence of the Elves (crosspost)

The Silence of the Elves Meg Muldoon, 2016 Premise: Holly's been demoted right out of the North Pole through no fault of her own, but she'll need more than hope to get her life back on track. You may recall that I kind of liked another one of Meg Muldoon's holiday-themed cozy mysteries , so when I saw she had a new series that was explicitly about Christmas elves, I had to try it.

The Santa Claus Man (crosspost)

The Santa Claus Man: The Rise and Fall of a Jazz Age Con Man and the Invention of Christmas in New York Alex Palmer, 2015 Premise: In the early 1900s, more children began to write letters to Santa, and the Post Office asked for help. Enter John Duval Gluck Jr. and his creation: The Santa Claus Association. This was an interesting book overall, although the payoff is smaller than I would have preferred. The book paints a complex and intriguing picture of New York in the first few decades of the twentieth century, particularly around Christmas. The specific story of Gluck and his various "charities" is only the largest thread; the book also explores early influences on the image of Santa, how various staples of Christmas (public tree-lightings, parades, etc.) started or became notable in New York City.
