Five for Friday - Book Birthdays, Trending Topic, and Bell-in-a-box

Happy Friday!

Today I'm participating in five blog hops. You can click on the host links below to read the blogs of others who are participating in each blog hop. If you're a blogger, feel free to join through their links!

Question: Do you post Happy Publication Day posts for books you read?

My response: Not on my blog. Sometimes I re-share the author's Instagram Pub Day posts in my IG stories.

Today's excerpts are from an eARC of DM Me for Murder (Trending Topic Mystery 3), by Sarah E. Burr.

Here is the beginning:
“Wow, nice digs.” An impressed whistle zipped across my lips as I climbed out of the passenger’s side of the sleek Mercedes sedan.

And here is an excerpt from 56%:
"Can you imagine us being on a date?" Jasper snorted.
    I visibly convulsed. "Ugh, no! Why would you even say that? Especially before I've eaten." Jasper was the brother I'd never had.
    "To get that reaction." He smirked as he placed a golden cloth napkin across his lap.
    I rolled my eyes at his immaturity.
    "And to put what I'm about to say into perspective."

In the excerpt from 56%, Coco, the main character, is having dinner with her best friend, Jasper. The conversation is leading up to something Jasper needs to tell Coco. But the main reason I shared this excerpt is because Jasper is my favorite character in this series. Every time he opens his mouth on the page I either smile or laugh out loud. He has a larger-than-life personality, but he also really cares about Coco.

DM Me for Murder releases this coming Tuesday, February 13th. Stay tuned for my review!

Here is Bell lounging in one of their boxes. They sure do love to snuggle up with paper. That's what the boxes are filled with. They love to sleep in them.

  5. Bell is so cute. The kitties sure do love paper and boxes. They love them more than any gifts you can buy them at the store. I really have to read the Sarah Burr series. It sounds great. Have a great weekend!

    1. So true about kitty gifts, Yvonne. Sarah E. Burr is an auto-read for me. I still have some catching up to do on one of her series, but for all the others, I read them all when they're released. Her books never disappoint. :-)

    Bell, I'm glad you like your box with the crinkly paper in it. I know it's fun. Thank you for linking up with Feline Friday!
