Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.
For this week’s Book Blogger Hop question, Elizabeth @ Silver’s Reviews asked:
What was your first book of the year?
My answer:
My first book of 2019 was Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down.
This book was such fun dive into the creation of the popular TV series! It was also wonderfully creative and so well put-together! I highly recommend picking up a copy if you are a fan of the show itself or how TV shows are made.

Thanks for reading!
What was the first book you read in 2019?
I didn't even know it was a book first– oops. My first read of 2019 was rereading Transcendence by Shay Savage.
It wasn't! It was just the show. This is the companion to the show that talks about how the show was made 🙂
I love the TV series, probably should try out the book
I definitely recommend it!
I love the tv show, so a look at the behind the scenes world sounds really interesting.

What a perfect choice for a first read. Mine first start was The Passage but my first finish was And the Ocean Was Our Sky.
Ooh! I need to read The Passage soon!
Thanks for the reminder again that I need to pick this up!

😀 I hope you love it!!
Oh didn't realize there was a book about the show!!
It's SO cool!
Sounds fun. I always enjoy behind-the-scenes books. My husband hates to ruin 'the magic', but I love books and docus that show how effects were done etc.
I love learning more as well! One of my favorite film companions is for Cabin In The Woods. I learned so much about the little nods to other films by reading that 🙂
I love Stranger Things! I'm so looking forward to it returning in July.
Same here!! This book gave a quick glimpse into what the overall tone is going to be. I can't wait!
The first book I finished this month was A Dance With Dragons by George RR Martin. I started it in December. The first book I fully read in this month was Lady Colin Campbell's The Royal Marriages, which was fascinating!
Oooh! I still need to give into his books someday!
I wasn't aware there was a Strange Things book out!
It's SO good! A great peek at what it took to create the show!
This looks like a very cool read. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's always nice when something you really like as a book or show doesn't disappoint with something like this.
😀
I want this book soooo bad!! I need to get it soon! 😀
You're going to love it!!! 🙂
I love this show. Glad to see this one was enjoyable. I really like that beat-up look they gave it.
😀 Right?! So clever!
Glad you enjoyed this book. 🙂
The first book I read this year was Once Upon A River by Diane Setterfield.

Oh! I need to check that one out!!
That looks so cool! I'd love to pick it up. 🙂
😀
Ooh awesome! I like the dice next to it too. 🙂
Thank you! It was my husbands idea to have the 20 showing 🙂
I have only seen a handful of episode of that show but I do want to get back to it. I love the cover of this book. My first read of 2019 was a romance – Now or Never by Victoria Denault.
I hope you have time to watch soon! It's such an interesting show! 🙂
Mine were a few books from the Animorphs series! i loved the series when I was a middlegrader. Recently came across the books at a second hand book shop and had to buy and read them 🙂
Oooh!! I remember those!
I so need to read this!
😀
Mine was Hark the Herald Angels Slay by Vicki Delany. 🙂

So sorry for the late comment back….:( I've been trying frantically to catch up with all my replies and comments back… I've been preparing classes at home.
OMG, this book sounds SO AWESOME!! And I've never heard of this TV show. That's because I work at night…BOO-HOO… (I teach adults ESOL at a local high school.)
I DEFINITELY need to find out more about this book, as well as the show!! Thanks for putting it on my radar!!
Thanks as well for commenting on my own BBH post!! <3 🙂
Absolutely no worries!! Happy New Year to you as well! 🙂 I hope you enjoy the show and the book if you have time to check them out!! 🙂
