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!

I am always on the lookout for books for my 2 1/2 yr old
I love books. I mean really, really love books. My mom was a librarian for years and my dad is one of those people who plans vacations by which bookstores are along the route. I like nonfiction…I used to prefer fiction before I had kids but now I can’t focus long enough to get into the story 99% of the time.
First and foremost, I enjoy finding books that challenge my 5 year old daughter (who is reading at a second grade level! yay).
Myself? I love non-fiction in general. 😀
Since I’m a romance author, that’s my preferred genre, but I pretty much love to read anything.
I don’t know how I never noticed this before! How awesome! I will definitely have to check this part out! 😉
I love historical romance or Christian Fiction book. My son is currently reading anything a 10 year old can get his hands on that has dragons or magic themes.
Great I love books as well!!
I drop by here every now and then to see what ya’ll have been reading but nothing ever appeals to me. I guess I’m to into cute stuff, gay romance or graphic novels. Other then the host but that book sucked xD
Nice to meet you, Jennifer! Great site 🙂 Happy Party week!!

Hi I’m from the Ultimate Blog Party. Enjoy
I’m always looking for a good book to read. Love this site and will use it as a resource. Happy blog party 🙂
Party With Tiff (UBP post)
I was not aware of this site and would still not be, had it not been for the blog party. I am so glad I found you. I love to read and passed that love along to my kids.
Hi, I’m Shelly and I am a book junkie. I love Christian fiction; especially Karen Kingsbury, Rebeca Seitz, and Kaye Dacus. I have a 10 year old who enjoys authors like Wayne Batson and Christopher Hopper. I love your site!
I am stopping by from the UBP to say hello!
I am interested in children’s books for the ages of 4 and up.
I’m always looking for good books for my preschooler!
I’m always looking for good books for my preschooler!
Life with Colin
I’m most interested in Paranormal Romance reviews!
Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE to read too 🙂
I am so glad I found your site through the UBP. I am always looking for new books not only for my 3 yr old but for myself as well. I will be following.
There is nothing more special than a good book. Happy UBP!
Hi there! Wow! I am finding all kinds of new and wonderful blogs through the party today!! I am an avid reader AND a homeschool mom, so we have LOTS of books and LOTS of interests. 🙂 On my blog I have a link on the top of my page that says “book list” and there you will see all my favorites. 🙂 Mostly things like Christian living type books (Crazy Love is a top favorite!) and homeschooling mom books, books for encouragement, etc. Nice to “meet” you today!!
I love books. This is a great site. Enjoying the party.
Hi. I’d be interested in reviews that indicate a book’s position in terms of Judeo-Christian values. Especially for their independent reading, I want to know what’s in a book in that regard before I approve it for my girls to read.
I tend to read a lot, it is not surprising to find me reading more than 5 books at any given time… It would probably finish them quicker if I stuck to one, but I am a multi-tasker.
Hi! Stopping by from the blog party. I LOVE books of all kinds. I’m in a Slow Food book club, and I’m always buying cookbooks or books about ethical food, gardening, what have you.
I joined several of your sister sites and now following here as well. Sounds interesting since we are a family of readers
So happy to have found you through #UBP10. I too love to read too. Right now, doing bible study reading.
I would love to tell you what genre of books I like to read but I have no idea. That’s what makes getting books so difficult for me.
I’m visiting from #UBP10. I love to read Dean Koontz, Sidney Shelton & Mary Higgins-Clark. Mystery & suspense is my favorite (that book you just can’t put down).
I love mysteries the most, but will read almost anything. Great site here. I am positive I will be back often
We love books at our house. It’s a great thing you are doing here. Happy partying!!
I love to read books by Nicholas Sparks! However, most of the time I just get to read children’s books:) Nice partying with you!
Oh so cool! This blog hop is helping me find all kinds of blogs I didn’t know existed! And I love a good book so I’m gonna follow this one! I love pretty much anything, but lately I’ve found a love for historical fiction.
I love reading too and often talk about it on my blog plus have started doing some book reviews as well. I plan to follow your feed and would love if you would stop by mine as well.
This blog will come in handy for us! It’s hard to not judge a book by it’s cover, so this will be a great resource.
Stop by FTSN for a slice of peanut butter pie when you get the chance!

I am always looking for books for me and my little one. What a great blog! I will definitely be back to check it out some more.
What a great site for readers! I love me some mystery/sci-fi/fantasy fiction and any good reads for my toddlers (ages 2 and 3).
Have a great weekend!
Stopping by from #ubp- excited that I found your site… I don’t read nearly as much as I should 🙂
I spent the most time trying to discover books for my children to read, although I do enjoy to read fiction and Christian or historical fiction books.
Reading a book is part of the bedtime routine I have for my daughter, we read on little book right before bed. She is 15 months, so any books for little ones if great. Thank you!
I’m a mom of older kids, so anything from age 9-15 would be great to read reviews about–especially since teen girl fiction tends to be boy-crazy!
Hello! Visiting from UBP10, of course. We’re bibliophiles here, too. We were so excited when our son started showing an interest in books, and story time each night is a special part of our day.
Have a wonderful weekend!
I enjoy reading too, but lately not enough time for leisure reading! I’ve tried to instill the interest in my children but now it’s up to them (at 18 and 23).
Hopping through via UBP. We love reading here so I’ll def. be stopping back by!
Kas
