Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Billy at Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. 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 your own blog.
This week's prompt is:
Do you buy all your books? If yes, do you keep them all? If no, where do you source them? Walking into a bookshop on #WorldBookDay pic.twitter.com/wUNxqaLOSm— Books Are My Bag (@booksaremybag) March 7, 2019

ReplyDeleteMy Friday 56 from The Corpse In The Cabana
Gorgeous cover and great excerpts! Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “I OWE YOU ONE”
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame about your library! I've never heard of one that didn't allow check-outs.
ReplyDeleteMy Friday memes this week.
I've heard nothing but good things about The City of Brass. It's on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteLoved City of Brass, well except the ending which was a kind of a set up for the next in the series (hope that is not a spoiler). Reminds me I need to get The Kingdom of Copper.
ReplyDeleteI buy most of my books but get some review books too. I try to buy mostly for my Kindle since I don't have a lot of empty space on my bookshelves. This book does sound good. This week I am featuring Murder in Belgravia by Lynn Brittney from my review stack. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cover. I've not read anything set in Cairo for a long time. I should look into this book. My Firda quotes for Unsheltered
ReplyDeleteWhat is the point of a library if you can't borrow the books?!
ReplyDeleteLove the cover and snippets, sounds like my kind of book! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to read this series soon. Thanks for sharing!
