NYT Book Review: The Passage | BLOG BOOSTER

First things first: The New York Times Book Review offered a look at The Passage By Justin Cronin, reviewed by Mike Peed.




At 766 pages this Ballantine Books offering is, as Mr. Peed says, "a doorstop." And, it is the first in a trilogy! In this book, vampires take over the world after being created in 2018 by the government. 

It is unusual when the NYT takes the fantasy genres seriously, so it might be good to sit up and take notice. But, 766 pages means a long, long read.




BLOG BOOSTER

I have been thinking about our super blog hops.  They are a tremendous boon for all of the book bloggers out there.   But, I also want to help all our readers discover new blogs: funny blogs, serious blogs, big and little blogs. I hope that by doing this we can increase our non-blogger readership.

So each week I want to feature a couple of blogs for readers to take a look at. Here are the first three:

I just started following a Bibliophile's Paradise.  This Mom, student, write Navy wife has a clean  and professional looking blog with a variety of books featured.   I think you will enjoy her reviews.




The Gutter GirlsA blog to watch, Starmetal Oak Book Blog caught my eye right away for its unusual name but I am impressed by it's organization and quality.  She features a variety of literature, fantasy, Sci-Fi, YA, and Historical.

My momma always told me my mind was in the gutter so when I saw The Gutter Girls I figured I would fit right in.  Hot, and steamy describes this book blog and ladies may I recommend a glass of ice water near by to cool you off!  Adults only!

  2. The Blog Booster feature is a great idea!

    I have The Passage and started listening to it but couldn't get into it. I am thinking about buying the print version because I am thinking it might be the narrator that is the problem :) AKA the reason I don't listen to many audiobooks that aren't read by the author.

PLEASE NOTE, This is an AWARD FREE BLOG unless it's the international This of That Society wanting to bestow the International Blogger of the Year award a big trophy and a brand new Jaguar.
I am no longer accepting the kindly intentioned chain-letter type awards bloggers give each other and then have to give to ten other bloggers. No time but lots of appreciation...
