Welcome — Ultimate Blog Party-hoppers — to 5 Minutes for Books! Regular readers — you might find out something new too, so I hope you read and comment.
We are a sister site to 5 Minutes for Mom, and we have a wonderful team of reviewers who each have a different favorite type of book. That means we can offer all sorts of reviews, hopefully providing you with recommendations on the type of book YOU are looking for:
Fiction
Non-fiction
Memoir
Books for Babies
Books for Preschoolers
Books for School-aged kids
Books for Tweens and Teens
You can browse all of these categories by using the Category menu on the left hand side. If you are looking for a review about a specific book, search by title using the awesome Lijit search box on the right side of the NavBar.
The best of the best is listed on our 5 Star Reviews page.
Every Tuesday we host a different way for you to Join In our community events/carnivals. Right now we are also having a Fireworks over Toccoa bookclub
In addition to doing a review and giveaway every Monday on 5 Minutes for Mom in our 5 Minutes for Books column, we do book giveaways at least twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and oftentimes we throw in a few extras. Right now, we have several giveaways open from the Magic School Bus, a poetry book for tweens and teens, to Fireworks over Toccoa audiobook to a biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Check out (and enter!) all of our current giveaways now!
Thanks for stopping by. Leave us a comment telling us what types of book reviews most interest you, whether is the genre you like to read or the ages of your children for whom you are always looking for a good read.

Susan Bywater says
I love reading books that have some humor in them. Whether they are mystery, chick lit or whatever. If a book can make me laugh as well as care about what happens to the characters, it is a great book in my opinion.
Susan margaret says

Nanette ~ AMomBlog says
I don’t get to read much but when I do I enjoy books about families overcoming the challenges of special needs. True to life stories of exceptional children and adults to prove others ideas of limitations can’t hold them back.

It’s great to discover your blog via UBP. We love books, and I host a weekly linky “What My Child Is Reading” at my own blog. She is 3 now, so we are mostly interested in books for preschool and kindergarten level and in early readers (she is a reader already). Now I am a subscriber to your blog.
Jess says
We are definitely book lovers here. I’m interested in biographies of people with special needs, special needs parenting books, fiction, mystery, some romance too. My girls are 7 and 3. It’s such a treat when my 7 year old reads me a bed time story!

Hi! Stopping by on my UBP tour and excited to see you have a site like this. I love Christian and self-help books of all kinds. I’m not a mommy, so I wouldn’t have any idea what’s out there for youngsters.

Blessings to you!

What a great blog! I love books even though it seems like I don’t have much free time for them. Also, with the current economy it’s hard for me to justify spending money on books. I will definitely follow your blog! Thanks.
Found you on UBP10!
Feel free to come by my blog and read my party post
