Hop if I want to…
You would Hop to if it was your birthday, too!
(Ok, so not the best rendition of the song, but it’s all I had on short notice! LOL!)
Yup, it’s my birthday on Sunday – another year down! :)

The Hop lasts Friday-Monday every week, so if you don’t have time to Hop today, come back later and join the fun! This is a weekly event! And stop back throughout the weekend to see all the new blogs that are added! We get over 200 links every week!!
RULES:
Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.

In Close Your Eyes, the author of the bestselling How to Be Lost spins another mesmerizing tale of buried family secrets.
For most of her life, Lauren Mahdian has been certain of two things: that her mother is dead, and that her father is a murderer.
Before the horrific tragedy, Lauren led a sheltered life in a wealthy corner of America, in a town outside Manhattan on the banks of Long Island Sound, a haven of luxurious homes, manicured lawns, and seemingly perfect families. Here Lauren and her older brother, Alex, thought they were safe.
But one morning, six-year-old Lauren and eight-year-old Alex awoke after a night spent in their tree house to discover their mother’s body and their beloved father arrested for the murder.
Years later, Lauren is surrounded by uncertainty. Her one constant is Alex, always her protector, still trying to understand the unraveling of his idyllic childhood. But Lauren feels even more alone when Alex reveals that he’s been in contact over the years with their imprisoned father—and that he believes he and his sister have yet to learn the full story of their mother’s death.
Then Alex disappears.
As Lauren is forced to peek under the floorboards of her carefully constructed memories, she comes to question the version of her history that she has clung to so fiercely. Lauren’s search for the truth about what happened on that fateful night so many years ago is a riveting tale that will keep readers feverishly turning pages.
WOW! Can’t wait to uncover the secrets of this book!

Hmm, the first link I click on doesn't actually have a Hop post: CREATE WITH JOY (Inspirational – Eclectic) . Annoying!
Oh, and I found two more. Why are these people linking if they don't have a post up?
Anyway, no more grumbling: happy birthday on Sunday!!
Have a wonderful birthday. Greetings in advance!

Your pick sounds wonderful; I just finished reading and reviewing “The Murderer's Daughters”, which is (obviously) about girls whose father murdered their mother. It was a pretty interesting read.
Happy Birthday! I have heard that birthdays are good for you, people that have the most live the longest!
Thank you so much for hosting this hop!
