Hi everyone. Today it’s my great pleasure to welcome Annie from The Misstery Book Blog to Jen Med’s to help me spread a little more book love. We’ll be taking a look at all of Annie’s choices in just a moment, as soon as we’ve learned a little more about the person behind the blog.
About Annie
Annie. 26. Barcelona. In a past life, I was probably a tortured police detective with a dark and traumatic past. Right now, however, I’m just a twenty-something bookworm who loves to listen to old songs and watch 90s movies. I enjoy reading mystery and crime novels, coming of age stories, and historical fiction set in the last century.
You can follow Annie at the sites below:
Childhood Sweetheart
Favourite book from childhood
The whole Malory Towers series!
First love
The first book you fell in love with
I remember falling in love Enid Blyton’s The Naughtiest Girl and Amy Number 7 (by Marilyn Kaye), which was part of an amazing series, by the way.
Biggest book crush
The book character you’re totally in love with
Patrick Kenzie from the Kenzie & Gennaro series by Dennis Lehane. Always.
Weirdest book crush
Well… duh
Mark Joesbury. Only read the first book in the series and he was kind of mean, but I’m definitely intrigued haha
Hardest break up
The book you didn’t want to end
When I finished 11.22.63 I was a mess. Didn’t want it to end and cried a lot.
The one that got away
The book in your TBR or wish list that you regret not having started yet.
The book that has been on my TBR longer is… The Midwife’s Confession by Diane Chamberlain. Hope to read it soon
Secret love
Guilty Reading pleasure
When I was a teenager, I was obsessed with the Sweet Valley series. Now… I don’t really have “guilty pleasures”, but I love the Shopaholic series, although I read it about 7 years ago
Love one, love them all
Favourite series or genre
ALL THINGS CRIME. Mysteries!
Your latest squeeze
Favourite read of the last 12 months
Tall Oaks. It was amazing
Blind date for a friend
If you were to set a friend up with a blind date (book) which one would it be?
A Mother’s Confession by Kelly Rimmer. Because some of you won’t read it because of the title or the cover… but it was great.
Greatest love of all
Favourite book of all time.
I have many favorite books… let’s say Gods in Alabama by Joshilyn Jackson
Thanks Annie. Some amazing choices on there. Have to totally agree about Tall Oaks (my book of the year last year) and A Mother’s Confession. That one really got me, especially the ending. And yep – I’m all about crime too … In a putely literary way of course.
So what do you reckong folks? Any susggestions for Annie? Any books you think she’d love or any titles to tempt her away from the dark side/crime fiction?
Have a wonderful week everyone. Hope it’s full of all the #booklove
Jen
❤ Awesome! Thank you so much for having me. Since then, Ive read all Lacey Flint series and I can say that Joesbury is definitely a book boyfriend 😛

Totally agree on A Mother’s Confession! It was in my top 5 last year but I might not have picked it up if it hadn’t been for Cleo. The cover is insanely misleading!

Happy to read about Annie’s Booklove!! I’m one of the people who’ve disregarded A Mother’s Confession based on title and cover, but everyone’s comments today are making me say
hmmm🤔Maybe I should rethink that one. Totally agree about Mark Joesbury and I’ve only read 1 Patrick Kensie…, how could I have forgotten that series and a possible new book boyfriend?? Thanks Annie!!

A Mother’s Confession is so much more than the cover suggests. And so moving too.

Fun to get to know a little more about Annie and her book loves. I completely agree with her love of 11/22/63. It’s Stephen King at his very best!

I’ve been following Annie for a while now and enjoy her reviews. “Tall Oaks” just got pushed up a little higher on my TBR queue.
