Ultimate Blog Party 2010

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.

  1. Stopping by from UBP to check out your blog! I love books (I’m also an author, my new book is How to Be an Everyday Philanthropist: 330 Ways to Make a Difference in your Home, Community and World – At No Cost! (Workman, 2009)). Would love to send you a copy for review!

  3. New follower from UBP10! I LOVE to read. I read fiction and non-fiction and of course books for my 3 year old. Looking forward to reading the book reviews!

  5. i LOVE reading. i very rarely get to do it anymore though. i have 4 kids (3 of them under 4) and i homeschool. so my library consists of children’s books, text books and magazines. i so look forward to the day i can finish a good novel again!

  8. I’m always looking for good books for my 7-year old, and I enjoy classic literature

  11. Happy UBP ’10!

    We love books in our house. I read to my kiddo every day and we go to the library at least once away-btw, he can’t even crawl yet LOL!

    Hope you are having a blast with the party, I know I am!

  18. 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.

  19. I’m an avid reader (and a librarian!) so this site is awesome to me! I just found it through the Ultimate Blog Party and I can’t wait to check out all you have to offer as I’m always looking for new ideas!

  20. 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.

  21. Found you through 5 minutes for Mom, I am excited to know that you are here. I am always looking for books for me and my kids!
    Thanks

  46. I think I have found nervana. I am a book-a-holic. I’ve been a reading fool ever since I could remember. I spend my lunch break at work reading my latest fave. Thanks for a great blog for moms.

  47. 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

  50. I love great big saga type novels. Also historical fiction and pretty much everything else! I have 3 preschoolers who love to read as well.
