NEW MEME SHOW ME 5 SATURDAY



Today I have decided to start a new MEME. This meme will give each blogger an opportunity to give a brief description of a book they have read or reviewed during the week.

It will work like this:
Each Saturday You will post the answer to these questions. The number indicates the number of answers you will provide.

1 Book you read and/or reviewed this week
2 Words that describe the book
3 Settings where it took place or characters you met
4 Things you liked and/or disliked about it
5 Stars or less for your rating?


After each of you complete the meme on your blog add a comment here and I will put a link on my post.

Here is my first post

1 Book Read: He Who Sings Last by Lisa Laird DiRosso
2 Words to Describe it: Obsessed Mystery
3 Places and/or Characters: Miranda the obsessed fan, Jimmy the washed up rock star, New York - the setting of the murder (one of them at least)
4Things I liked or disliked: I liked the background each character was given so you really felt you understood their actions, I liked the surprising twists, I liked the cliffhanger letting me know that there would be another book coming, I disliked Jimmy (not him being in the book as a character but him as a person)
5 Stars or Less? I would rate this at 4 stars

If you would like to read my review go here

Thanks so much to each of you for participating. I was afraid it would just be me this week so I am very excited. I think this is a great way to give a brief blurb to a book and generate some interest!

  3. That does sound like a fun new meme. In a way, it's kind of like a mini-review to boot. ^_^ Neat, I'm going to have to do this one.

  13. Great idea for a Meme! I'm going to remember to participate next Saturday. This is a really good way to check books out quickly and if they sound like something you'd like then you can read the full review if you haven't already had the chance to! Just brilliant!
