Rachel* @ Booktastic Reviews

When did you start blogging?

I started blogging when I was very young. My friend introduced me to the world of blogging when I was about seven and I’ve loved it ever since. Booktastic Reviews was created in late 2010 when I was slightly older though!

What is your favorite part of book blogging?

I love everything about it really but if I were to pick just one thing then it would probably be how you can just ramble on and on about books and there’s a whole world of book bloggers out there to listen! I can’t really talk about books I’ve read with friends or family so I’m glad I’ve found loads of people who happily will!

What is your favorite book(s)?

Ahhh, there’s so many! Right now I would have to say Milledgeville Misfit by T.L. Gray – it was such a powerful and emotional read!

What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?

Definitely the friends I’ve made! It’s so much fun talking and comparing books! But of course there is many other reasons why I love book blogging so much!

*Best name ever! 

A Glass of Wine
 
1. When did you start blogging?

I have been blogging for about a year and a half now. My first review went up Jan 28, 2011 and was for Stolen by Lucy Christopher.

2. What is your favorite part of book blogging?

I have been introduced to so many wonderful novels that I may not have read if not for hearing about them through fellow bloggers. Getting to expand my reading pool has been a huge perk. The other is meeting all the wonderful bloggers. It's refreshing to interact with a group of people that love and appreciate reading as much as I do.

3. What is your favorite book(s)?

If I listed all my favourites we would be here forever. Here are just a few of my favourite titles:

The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling
Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

4. What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?

I would say getting to chat with fellow book lovers, and authors. It's pretty surreal that I have gotten to interview some of my favourite authors for my blog and will never stop being awe inspiring.

Q: Christmas in July! Someone gives you a gift card for two books (whatever that costs). What two books will you buy?

The two books I would buy would be "The Unspoken" by Heather Graham and "Heron's Cove" by Carla Neggers

Amy’s Book World 

 

My name is Amy. I am from North Carolina. I have loved reading since I was a kid. My favorite genres are PNR/UF, YA but I have recently began reading contemporary romances and even a historical. I started a blog because I saw so many reviews out there but none really said what I thought.So I decided that I am going to blog about the books I read to have my thoughts out there too. Some of my favorite authors are JR Ward, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Jennifer Ashley, Lynsay Sands, Kerrelyn Sparks, Janet Evanovich, Rachel Vincent, Rachel Gibson, Kristina Douglas, Lara Adrian and the list could go on.

When I am not reading or blogging, you can usually find me hanging out with my nephews or playing with my dog, Lanie.


Word Spelunking

I am a twenty-something dreamer, with a love of words; mindless television shows; sarcastic humor; and orange sherbet ice cream. I'm a book geek and word nerd with a passion for YA and MG fiction. I would love to get paid for reading books all day long, while sitting on the sands of Folly Beach, but to date this job still only exists in the chaotic, yet sparkly wonderland that is my mind. As a proud, self- proclaimed T.V junkie and literature enthusiast, I spend most of my time in the world of fictional characters; a world where I have declared myself the queen and wear a glittering tiara. I am still waiting for my letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and believe I would be totally awesome at both Charms and Quidditch. To those who try to bring me down from my cloud in the sky, I have only this to say: Muggle, please. I discovered the world of book blogging a few months ago, but only recently became brave enough to start my own blog. I find that I have a lot to say about books and started blogging to find other book loving people to say these things to...and to give the people in my real life a break from my incessant book chatter. I love YA and MG lit and Lauren Myracle is my literary soulmate. Basically, I'm just a girl who loves books, loves to interact with others who love books, and wants to share that love. I just wanna smoosh everyone together in this big book lovefest and spread that love around the world.

Q: Fight! Fight! If you could have two fictional characters battle it out (preferably from books), who would they be and who do you think would win?

I would love to see Joe Quinn from Iris Johansen's Eve Duncan series fight Luis Montalvo also from Iris Johansen's Eve Duncan series. 

vs.

I would also love to see Ranger (aka Carlos Manoso) fight Joe Morelli from Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series.

 Alluring Reads



I’m a 24 year old married mom of two little ones. Now that my kids are getting a bit older I’m really getting back into reading and found after joining GoodReads that I really enjoy reviewing books that I read. Some of my favorite books are The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver, Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice, The Mist by Stephen King and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I’m really into contemporary and paranormal YA.

Justin's Books & Life

Hi, my name's Justin. I'm 22 years old, and I have loved reading since I was young, and what really set me on the path for where I am now was Harry Potter back when it came out in the US in 1998. That series opened up the door for me and showed me how great reading is. I'm so glad I decided to pick them up, and I am glad to be where I am today.

I started blogging simply to share my opinions on books I love to read. And I am loving doing that, and also seeing other peoples opinions on books that I have either read or want to read. It's a really awesome community to be a part of.

Q: Do you read one book at a time or do you switch back and forth between two or more?

I read one book at a time since I only read two to three books per week.

Metzcutzial Musings



I am a reader, writer, and teacher. I moved around a lot as a kid and my books were my constant companions. Alice in Wonderland was, and is, my favorite book. I could identify with her as a kid, since I was constantly finding myself in new places, often feeling like an outsider looking in. I started my blog as a way to share my thoughts about what I’ve been reading or watching. Because I read at least one book each week and people are always asking me for recommendations, it seemed like starting a blog would be a great way to keep track of the books I’ve read and my thoughts about those books.

Owl Tell You About It

Laura Ashlee is twenty-three years old and hails from small town Alabama. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance. She currently works full-time at Robins & Morton, a Birmingham-based general contractor that specializes in healthcare facilities. She is currently studying for her GRE so she can go to grad school next year. Aside from reading and blogging, she enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and awesome boyfriend.

I wasn't into reading as much when I was in high school and when I first started college. I had too much required reading to find the time. After I finished all my English and reading courses in college I started reading again. I read Wuthering Heights and a couple of Jane Austen books and fell in love. Then, I picked up The Hunger Games, and fell in love with YA books. Now, I read all kinds of different genres, but I still have a huge place in my heart for YA and classics.

Q: What book would you love to see made into a movie or television show and do you have actors/actresses in mind to play the main characters?

I would love to see J.D. Robb's In-Death series made into a TV series because I think this would be a good one if they get the right actors and actresses.

Progress and Procrastination

Hey! I’m jfeldt. I love to read – duh! And this last December I set a goal to read a bunch of books off a Face Book challenge. I decided the best way to keep track was start a blog. BOY I’ve been hurled into the world of crazy.

I’m 50% through and hooked on blogging. Stop by and check out my journey. I’m slightly self-deprecating; totally laid back; and mostly un-organized. Also, I sort of make up the rules as I go along; but hey, I have fun, and who doesn’t like fun? Hope to see you around.

Omnom Books

Reading is my drug, i've been addicted since a very early age, and don't think it'll end any time soon. I lived in England, but moved to Australia when i was 14 because of the 'better economy'. Apart from reading, i also love travelling, art, and surprisingly sport, although i'm a terrible loser and can't resist yelling at people when i think they're doing something wrong (how embarrassing!) My friends would probably describe me as funny, lively, and also a complete and utter nerd, due to my unfortunate liking of maths and science.

I started Omnom Books at the beginning of this year as a way to keep track of my formidable pile of reads, and to share my thoughts on them with others. I love meeting new people, and i can spend hours surfing blogs, finding new books and talking with others about our opinions on them. At the moment, I'm slowly reading my way through Tamora Pierce's epic works, right now i am up to Terrier (Beka Cooper #1), and i have Wolfsbane by Andrea Cremer on the side. My favourite genres would have to be YA Paranormal or fantasy, with The Mortal Instruments and Paranormalcy being some of my faves as they are made of WIN. Alright...that's all i can think of for now, but hopefully i'll hear from some of you soon (dumbledore!)

Q: Define what characteristics your favorite books share. Do they all have a kickass heroine or is the hot love interest the Alpha Male? 

My favorite books mostly share a kickass heroine and a hot Alpha Male love interest depending on the series.  They also share a great storyline and psychotic villains plus good secondary characters.

Kickass Heroine/Hot Alpha Male:

1.  Eve Dallas series 
2.  Eve Duncan series

Hot Male Alpha:

1.  Alex Cross series

Ce-Ce`s Garden of Reviews

I'm sixteen years old and already a writer and blogger. Love curling up with a book and some coa-coa, and is one hundred percent in love with books. I try my hardest to get books for my bookshelf, which has less than one row left.

I love making new friends and finding new and cool things to learn on the internet. Learning all that blogger has to offer is what Im dealing with now. Now, if only I could figure out why I cant join Google+ ….

From the Shadows I Review

Hi everyone! My name's Charmaine but everyone calls me Char. I'm a 20 year old woman/girl... either or, I never know which to put. I live in the UK and I absolutely love to read books. I started blogging because I always have an opinion on what I'm reading and I guess that I wanted to share my opinions with the world. When I'm not reading or blogging I'm a full time carer for my mum. Sometimes I manage to find some spare time to crochet or write but it's not always a guarantee.

I love to read just about everything but the majority of the time I'll be reading YA. My favourite books are Stolen by Lucy Christopher, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys, If I Stay by Gayle Forman and Before I Die by Jenny Downham.

Question of the Week: If you had to spend eternity inside the pages of a book which book would you choose and why? 

I would love to spend eternity in any of the books by Kay Hooper because it would be neat to actually get the real experience of how the profilers use their special talents to catch the villains.


I also would love to spend eternity in "The In-Death series" by J.D. Robb because of the futuristic world and because of the kick-ass heroine Eve and her extremely rich hunk husband Roarke.

Roxy @ Keeping Up With Roxy’s Books

Hi! My name is Roxy and am a complete, and I mean COMPLETE, book nerd. I read books left and right as often as possible. I started blogging for the sake (awesomeness) of books. Other than having this obsessions with books, I share the obsession with cupcakes. Mmm… cupcakes.

Anyway, my favorite books are definitely YA books. Let’s just say I love them and I could never ever have a all time favorite book!

Anonymous Reads

"Hi, I'm Pepa, and basically, I love books. I only started book blogging recently, but I've been reading for a long while. I love the community here. I love how everyone in the book blogging community can just get lost in a book the same way I can. And I love to meet new bloggers to discuss books with.

My favorite genres are paranormal and dystopian. But I'll still read anything that's YA. The two authors that really got me into reading are JK Rowling and John Green. JK Rowling filled my childhood with this magical world that I never forgot, and ever since then I've been looking for more books and more worlds to escape into. And then John Green brought me into the YA world. I love both of their work. Some of my favorite books are the Harry Potter series, Looking for Alaska, Divergent, The Hunger Games, Vampire Academy series, and the Infernal Devices books. I love how books allow you to escape into a different reality and just forget about yourself. I also love meeting new people to talk book-talk with. So come say hi, I don't bite. :)"

Question: Keeping with the Spirit of Giving this season, what book do you think EVERYONE should read and if you could, you would buy it for all of your family and friends?

For Mystery Thriller I recommend Kill Alex Cross" by James Patterson or "Buried Prey" by John Sandford.

For Romantic Suspense I would recommend "New York to Dallas" by J.D. Robb, "Senseless and "Merciless" both by Mary Burton.

Lauren’s Book Blog

My name is Lauren and my blog is Lauren’s Book Bag – not very original I know. Books have been my passion ever since I can remember and I turned my love of reading into a profession by becoming a college lecturer in English literature. I recently received my Ph.D. in Children’s literature and wrote on the Philosophy of Evil in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series.

I have been blogging for about 5 months now and love every minute. My blog is quite eclectic but leans toward romance, particularly romantic suspense, paranormal romance and historical romance. In addition to reading and blogging, I enjoy watching films and playing video games. 

Books & Barks

My name is Jennifer, I'm 28 years old, and yes - I'm a bookaholic. There, I said it. The first step is admitting you have a problem, right? I love to read. If you don't catch me reading, I'm most likely book shopping. I turned my spare bedroom into my own personal library. One day I came across a group of people on Facebook who are just as much into reading as I am. Book Club was started over our love of the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris. Finally we had other people to discuss our love of Eric with! Now we read and discuss many other series as well, focusing mainly on paranormal.

Talking books with a group led me to creating my blog. I thought to myself, what are some of the things I love most. The answer - books and dachshunds. So that's how Books and Barks was born. Its fun getting to share all of the wonderful books I've found with other readers. The focus on my blog is mostly adult and YA paranormal romance and fantasy, and some of my favorite authors are Jeaniene Frost, Nalini Singh, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Ilona Andrews and Eileen Wilks. Trust me, there are lots more!

Okay, enough about me. Back to my books I go...

Question: Letter to Santa:

Tell Santa what books you want for Christmas!

I would love Santa to bring me these:

1. Red Mist - Patricia Cornwell
2. Sleepwalker - Karen Robards
3. Down the Darkest Road - Tami Hoag
4. True Shot - Joyce Lamb
5. The Cocoa Conspiracy by Andrea Penrose
6. Double Booked for Death - Ali Brandon

Hi! My name is Jinny. I’m 22 years old, live in Canada. I love reading books, of course. I also love video games and, stereotypically, hockey! I’m currently majoring in English (language, not literature, though I have to take some lit courses anyway as part of my degree) and I hope that after I graduate, I will be accepted into a nursing program so that I can become a nurse.

My book blog was born in November 2009. I started my book blog when a couple friends and I decided to challenge ourselves by reading 50 books in a year, so I used the blog to keep track of my books. From there, it became a sort of review site, though recently I am trying to participate in more memes and whatnot I read a bit of everything, though I think by and large the genre I gravitate towards the most is YA.

 

The Magic Attic

I'm a bookworm, a dreamer, a teenager, a hopeless romantic, and a field hockey lover. Often, I can be found helping out at my local library, playing field hockey with the rest of my team, up in a tree in my backyard, or on the window sill with my nose in a book.

My book blog, The Magic Attic, is a YA book blog dedicated to, well, books. None of my friends are really interested in the type of books I am, so I started this blog to get to know other people with the same interests. I enjoy books from all YA genres, but I'm a hopeless romantic at heart, and my favorite genre is YA romance. I have so many favorite books it'll take hours to list them all. However, some of them include Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, the Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa, Eve by Anna Carey, and the Demon Trappers series by Jana Oliver. I'm currently reading The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, and The Juliet Spell by Douglas Rees.

Today's Question is something new, an activity. We want to see what you look like! Take a pic with you and your current read! Too shy? Boo! Just post a fun pic you want to share.

Here's pics of the two romantic suspense books I'm reading this week:

In which Ems reviews books …

 

I’m a 30-something avid reader, determined to share the published word. I’m a dreamer and freely admit to sometimes preferring the company of fictional characters to real people. I’m perfectly content to spend my time in solitude with a great book.  I love to write, read, and otherwise exercise my creative abilities.I was once asked why I read. Really, the only answer I can give to that is, how can I NOT read? I’d much rather read than breathe. For reals. Same deal for writing. It’s just a part of me and always will be.

 

Reading in the Corner

"Hi, y'all! My name is Jessi and I blog over at ""Reading in the Corner."" Why did I start blogging? Well, because I failed at gardening, sewing, scrapbooking, cooking/baking, cleaning, and all things domestic. Okay, but seriously, I started blogging in February 2011 because I was reading so many books and I HAD to share them with someone (even if my only followers were my sister and my husband)! Since then, FF and many other memes have helped me discover the book blogging community and make so many blogger friends in the last 6 months! It's been really exciting for me to get to know you through your blogs.

Currently, I am a very BUSY person. I work a full-time job in academic library administration, a part time job in public library public services, and I take on graduate school in my spare time. (Can you guess my major?) In all my other spare time, you can generally find me curled up in some part of my little house in the country with my husband, two cats, and a good book. I currently have a minor obsession with YA dystopian and YA PNR novels, but at the moment I'm reading ""outside the box"" for my book club with ""Akata Witch"" by Nnedi Okorafor and ""Stuck in Neutral"" by Terry Trueman."

Q. If you could have dinner with your favorite book character, who would you eat with and what would you serve?

I would love to have dinner with Alex Cross at some fancy restaurant with interesting dishes I haven't had before.  I would ask him about his cases and some of his deadly foes.

I would also love to have dinner with Eve Dallas at a restaurant where she would be comfortable.  I would ask her to bring Roarke her husband.

Book Savvy Babe

 

I am Heather, I am a 28 year old mom. I have 2 small boys, aged 6 and 3, and they keep me busy. While I always loved reading, I started really reading a lot a few years ago when I was stuck at home with the babies. After joining online book clubs and meeting other book lovers, I started blogging too. I live in Southern California, near a bunch of wineries, so I love wine tasting! Reading a good book and enjoying a glass of vino is my favorite thing.I read a variety of genres, but most of the time, I prefer paranormal books. My current favorite book is Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning. I am trying to read the Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian right now, in between review books. I never imagined how much fun book blogging could be, and in the last 6 months that I have been blogging, I have grown to love it!

The Bursting Bookshelf

I am a bookaholic whose friends got tired of hearing about my latest read. I decided to make a book blog to get my bookish opinions out there for other book lovers to read and the ball just got rolling from there. I mainly read YA fiction, and my favorite books are by far the Harry Potter series and The Hunger Games series. Currently I am hooked to dystopian books and I try and read as many of them as possible.

Q.What superhero is your alter-ego?

I have never been really into superhero's but I admire Eve Dallas and Eve Duncan two strong female characters.

The Bookaholic

Hello!

I'm Pixie and it's a pleasure to be here.

My insane love for books began as just a kid. Instead of collecting dolls or rocks or seashells or something "normal" kids would, I was seeking books.
Now over a decade later, I still have the crazy love for them, and I like to share my love with discussions and reviews on my blog. Blogging has become the greatest outlet for me, someone who doesn't have very many people to talk about books with in person.

I am an aspiring author struggling to get published. I reside in Texas and I have a cat who bullies me. She's the boss around here.

"The Bookaholic" is a blog dedicated to my obsession. Books. Of course, isn't that why we're all here? Sometimes I post my own writing there to share with readers, but it's only small excerpts and not often.
I read a little bit of everything, but I enjoy mostly YA, Paranormal, Fantasy, Dystopian and Historical Fiction. I am also a huge fan of Shakespeare, with upcoming plans of getting my favorite Shakespearean quote tattooed on me for my birthday.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me.

Starcrossed

I started blogging years ago, but just for personal use. My days as a book blogger started just last month. I've always been a huge reader (and writer). I started getting into book blogs mainly because of all the giveaways.

Then I started thinking about all the books I read. I read them, then put them back on the shelf. If the book effected me strongly, all I could do was tell a couple friends or coworkers about it and recommend it to them.

But it seemed like such a waste for the books. I felt like...if a book was THAT good, then why not share with as many people as possible and help it get a following?

Q. What book that hasn't been turned into a movie (yet) would you most like to see make it to the big screen, and who would you like cast as your favorite character?

I would love to see the Eve Dallas series turned into a movie but I'm not really sure who I would like to be cast as the main characters.

obsession with books

I'm a Spanish girl living in Switzerland that loves to read almost any kind of book. I write down the ideas and thoughts I have and I care for people. Need a friend? Need someone to talk to? Try with me :D

I like having people around, reading and having fun. I also like to travel a lot and my biggest dream is to go back to Brasil and live there again. It's such a wonderful country!

The World of the Spork Master

My name is Liz, and I blog over at The World of the Spork Master. I’m a high school Senior, and a huge nerd. I LOVE books, movies, and art. I share a little bit of everything on my blog, but it seems it all ties back to books!

I have two dogs - Blaze and Jasper - and a lot of cats. They consume a lot of my time. Other than reading, I love writing, photography, tea, Italian food, music (both playing and listening), biking, and creating adventures with friends.

I started blogging at the beginning of 2011 as part of my New Years Resolutions. I wanted to create a blog and update it consistently. I had no idea what it would turn into, I just went with it. I've never had success before, but no matter what happens, I'm determined to have a blog. Book wise, I mainly read YA books with themes of Fantasy, Paranormal, Sci-fi, and what have you. Mainly whatever I can get my hands on. I want to someday have my own library in my home, consisting of books beyond YA. I'm just absolutely crazy about books!

Q. Do you have a favorite series that you read over and over again? Tell us a bit about it and why you keep on revisiting it?

I do have favorite series but I don't read it over and over again!

Alaskan Book Cafe

I am living in Alaska with my grandson who is 4 and on the autism spectrum. We both love reading and taking hikes. I also enjoy cooking, ( I collect cook books), crafts, collecting faeries and meeting new people. My favorite books change all the time. There are so many I would be listing forever. I am still trying to get caught up on GR and Shelfari. I will read just about anything, even t-shirts, (especially on hot guys).

I'm kind of snarky but in a fun way. I'm on FB where somehow I got married and then a 10 year old kid showed up. I guess that 's ok since he can work. I'm trying to learn Twitter so I guess that makes me a twit. My sister set my hair on fire during a double date but I still allow her to be my best friend. Loyal like Lassie.

Q. It's that pesky magic book fairy again! She has another wish: What imaginary book world would you like to make a reality?

Hmm I would like the imaginary book world of J.D. Robb's In Death Series a reality because the way she describes the world it seems very cool and interesting to live in that world.
