YAY! I am so excited to be featured this week. I want to thank Alison Can Read and Parajunkee for the opportunity.

When did you start blogging? 

I started my blog, Rainy Day Reads, in August 2012.  I had been reading like a mad woman prior to that, but only really writing smaller reviews.  I started to see other book bloggers on Goodreads, and decided it would be a lot of fun to join in.

What is your favorite part of book blogging?
 
The answer will always be, the people.  I am lucky enough to have good friends at work who love reading, so I do get to talk about a lot of books with them.  But, I have got to know so many more fellow book lovers through my blog.  It is amazing to be able to talk about all of the wonderful books we love.  I have also found so many awesome books that I would have never found if not for my blog, and fellow bloggers.  That is priceless.

What type of books do you mainly blog about? 

I love all kinds of books, however as of late I am really enjoying contemporary romance.  Doesn't matter if it is Young Adult, New Adult or Adult... I am loving them all.  I also have some of my favorite Paranormal books, but those are mostly from series that I've already started.  I haven't started a new Paranormal series in a while.

What is your favorite book(s)?

Is this a serious question?  How long do you have? Cause I could go on for a long, long time... 

I think I will narrow them down by my favorites of 2013 so far.  Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park, I simply adored this book!  But I have also loved This Girl by Colleen Hoover, Leo by Mia Sheridan, Love Love by Beth Michele, Consequences by Aleatha Romig, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin, Twisted Perfection by Abbi Glines, Wait For You by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Tangled by Emma Chase... honestly I could go on and on.  I best stop there.

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

Again, this is such a tough question!  So many completely awesome things have happened since I started my blog.  I have always had a weekly feature called Book Blogger Spotlight, but recently I started one for authors, called Author Spotlight.  I sent out about 15 eMails to some of my favorite authors, requesting interviews and they all responded yes.  This was a very special moment for me,  I sent out so many at once because I didn't think very many would be able to take the time to answer my questions. 

Also, in that same weekend, I was given an early copy of Left Drowning by Jessica Park, and an early copy of Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover.  I was flabbergasted.  Honestly, that had to be the best weekend since becoming a blogger.

Q: Have you broken up with a series? If so which one and why?


A: Can we maybe say that we are on a break?  Rather than fully broken up?  I'm not sure why I didn't carry on after Beautiful Darkness.  I know I want to someday go back to the series, I was enjoying it... but I felt it was starting to drag a little, and I needed something with a bit more pace.  So yeah, the Caster Chronicles and I are on a break, but one day, maybe with a little couples counselling... we will be reunited.

So... what about you? What is your answer?
