BBAW First Treasure - J'adore happy endings

First up in the BBAW schedule is First Treasure where we are asked to share a book blog that we have discovered since last year.

One of my new favorites is J'adore happy endings.  I'm not entirely sure how I discovered Nina's book blog.  But I like it.  She reviews mainly YA which is my favorite genre and also does Dutch Cover Alerts comparing the Dutch cover of a book to the US one which I always find fascinating.  I also enjoy the gifs she uses on her blog when she announces winners.  Most of them make me laugh so much.  And, of course, the owls are the blog are super cute.

BBAW Book Discovery

This week I am participating in Book Blogger Appreciation Week.  Today's post is: Today we encourage you to blog about a book you read only because you discovered it on another book blog.  Preferably, this will be a book you loved!  You might also write a bit about the blog you discovered it on!

I've written a review of Skin Hunger already and I don't have much more to say about it.  There are many books that I've read that were recommended by other bloggers and I do a poor job of recognizing where I got titles from, but I do remember that Skin Hunger was recommended by Sue at Great Books for Kids and Teens.  She had a favorable review of Skin Hunger and it seemed like it was my kind of book so I put it on my list and I'm glad I did.  It was a sad and creepy story with so much going into it.  The two time lines involved and it was interesting to see how they intersect.

Sue reads some great books and has two great blogs,  Great Books for Kids and Teens & Book by Book.  So thanks Sue for recommending such awesome books.
