The Interview

When did you start blogging?

Officially, I started book blogging about two years ago on and off, but I started blogging consistently late last year in December and its been great ever since.

What is your favorite part of book blogging?

I love discussions!  Discussion posts are one of my favorite things to create and participate in. It is awesome getting to see other people's opinions and views on things. Whether your view is similar to mine or the complete opposite, I always like to hear about it in the comments.

What type of books do you mainly blog about?

I blog about general Young Adult and Middle Grade fiction mainly. I also do the occasional new adult and adult book review. My favorite genres are fantasy, contemporary, and dystopian.

What is your favorite book(s)?

This question is actually kind of hard for me. I like so many books. My favorite books of all time are the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. I also like the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, any book by Stephanie Perkins, The Missing Series by Margaret Peterson Haddix, The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson, and When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead.

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

I really like just the whole experience of interacting with other readers and authors. It is great to know you are apart of a community that shares your same interests.  The best thing is definitely getting responses from publishers and authors you love when you write about their books. It always makes me excited interacting with them.

This week's question:

What book/series do you think would make a better TV show than a movie?

My Answer:

Many of you who have already seen the first two movies that have come out for the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, probably know how badly they portrayed the original books. Now I think they should start over and turn the whole thing into a TV series. Since so many things happen in each book in the series, events can be spread over many different episodes. There will be enough time for each episode to be detailed and stay true to the actual book.
