The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Billy @ Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to their own blog.
What was the first book you read this year?

Isn’t that a gorgeous cover? I had Son of the Poison Rose in my WWW post this week as Just Read – it was my first book of 2023.

Ahh that cover is gorgeous! The real question is, does it live up to its cover? 😆 The first book I’m reading this year is called See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon! It’s a YA about a girl who gets stuck in a timeloop on her first day of freshman year of college – and how she copes!
Oh, what a nightmare to be stuck in your first day of college over and over again. It’s such an awkward point in time. Hope your enjoying it!
My first read was the perfect match by dandy smith 😊
A fun one!
Mine was Little Ghost by Chris McDonald, an indie published noir mystery set in Colorado.
Intriguing!
My first book was Dick Van Dykes Keep Moving from the audible plus catalogue.
Love Dick Van Dyke!
Ooooh, I didn’t realise that there was another Kagen novel already. That cover and the photo are both so lovely.
It comes out Tuesday and it’s even better than the first one.
I went straight to Amazon and looked it up😃😃😃
I read Sleep as my first book of the year.
What a great way to start the year!
The House in the Pines, a psychological thriller. Bet you weren’t expecting that, lol.
Not at all but that’s great. I look forward to hearing more about it.
That cover is beautiful! Don’t you love it that so many authors/publishers are paying more attention to them these days?
I started the year off with The Academy by Robert Dugoni, which set the tone for my reading enjoyment throughout the year. That series turned out to be one of my favorites (Tracy Crosswhite).
Sounds like the perfect start to the year!
My first book of the year was The Minuscule Mansion of Myra Malone, and I loved it!
I have a physical copy of that one I’m going to try to fit in this month.
That is a GORGEOUS cover!!!!
I agree. I love the color 😍
So far I haven’t finished a book but the first book I started reading was The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J Maas.
You can’t go wrong with Maas!
I’ve definitely enjoyed everything I’ve read by her so far.
love that cover. I’m still reding my first book of the year and it’s taking longer to finish than I expected. It’s more dues to lack of time and so many other things to do in life.
I know about that. Hope you’re enjoying it!
What a fun question!
Mine was Never Have I Ever.
It’s always interesting to see how those first reads hold up as the year progresses!
It is!
The first one I finished was How High We go in the Dark. Starting off the year with a 5 Star 🙂 Although some of it is super emotional and hard to read!
Those are the kinds of books that stay with you forever ❤️
Really cool cover!
It is gorgeous 😍
This is a gorgeous cover and from the recent review you posted for it, it seems like a great read too! My first read of 2023 was the second book in the Truly Devious series, The Vanishing Stair. I really enjoyed it!
It’s wonderful to start the year out with such great reads!
My first book was Key To My Heart by Lia Louis. I loved it.
