The Book Blogger Hop was started (and is hosted) by Crazy for Books.The Hop now has a twist each week, and since this is my first hop, this week’s twist is especially well suited!
This week’s twist/question: Tell us your NAME and WHY YOU STARTED BLOGGING
Hi, I’m Molly and I started ‘a dazzling distraction’ as a place to record my thoughts about the books I’ve been reading. I often find that after I read a book, I’m not done thinking about it, but since none of my friends read YA books, I didn’t have a place to share my thoughts. Then, in November of last year, I came across my first book blog online (the story siren) and I was hooked! I read blogs for about a month before actually considering one of my own, but now I love it!
I usually read/review YA books, and this month, I’m participating in Body Image and Self Perception month (hosted by Jo at Once Upon a Bookcase).
Thanks for stopping by - Leave me a link to your site, and stop back in for more BI&SP posts all month!

Hi Molly! I'm Cara--stopping by on the hop. I know what you mean about not having anyone to really discuss books with, that's one of the reasons I started blogging too! I'm glad you've found your way to the blogosphere and hope your blog continues to grow. (:
You can visit my blog over here.
Hi, I'm Lea (Miss Kelley), visiting from the Hop. I teach 7th grade, and love find other teacher/bloggers. Off to read your reviews.

Hi Molly, found you through the hop. Nobody I really know reads YA either or if they do, they don't get as excited about it as I do. I love your blog set up and loved your post for If I Stay. I have it sitting in my closet to read and have been debating it. I'm now a follower, and I look forward to your newest reviews. :D

Found you through the hop. We are a family of reading junkies, and I always end up reading my daughter's YA when she's done with it. It's so much better now than it was when I was an actual YA!!! Anyway, welcome to the wonderful world of book blogging; feel free to stop by my blog, Knitting and Sundries - http:/www.jewelknits.blogspot.com
Now I'm off to explore the rest of your blog!
Found you at the hop. Most of my friends don't read YA either. So fun to find so many who love them, too. :)
Just "hopping" by to say HI! Looking forward to reading your reviews :D
Have a great weekend!
Vanessa :D
