Crystal from Reading Between the Wines Book Club is one of the co-hosts for the Spring Fling Blog Hop with me next week and I thought it would be wonderful to get to know her better. So Welcome!
Why blogging? No really, why?
Way to start off with the hard ones, Selena! Okay, honestly I started blogging because of the Supernatural Underground. Which is a fabulous blog put together by some amazing paranormal romance, urban fantasy and Y.A. authors. I had no idea what a blog even was until then. At first, it was just a way to share book news and enter contests but then I had this great idea to put a book club together with some friends and share our thoughts on monthly reads too – Reading Between the Wines Book Club was born. I never imagined that it would grow into what it has today. I'm just a boring wife and mom of two, who wants to hear what I think about something? But amazingly people have and I've had the wonderful opportunity to share some fabulous books and authors with others as well make some amazing friendships along the way. And thankfully there are some super sweet and helpful bloggers out there who took the time to help me out with my many questions in the beginning, without them I would probably be still lost!
What's the biggest pet peeve you've developed as a reviewer?
I would have to say my biggest pet peeve after reviewing for a while is improper grammar and spelling. It drives me crazy when a book isn't edited correctly or half-assed and there are a ton of spelling and grammatical errors. I find myself reading and editing all the errors myself instead of enjoying the book. Even if you don't have a big publishing company behind you and two editors you still have spell check, use it please. Oh, and repetition! The same sentence or saying used numerous times.
What's the one thing you've always wanted to do? The top thing on your bucket list?
Oh, that is a hard one because there is so much I still want to do! I know it's not very original but I want to travel to Europe and visit Rome, Greece, France. I've always loved the architecture and art; it would be amazing to see those places in person.
Fantasy time…which fictional character is most likely to appear in your dreams?
Oh, oh, this is a fun one! I've had a few pop in every now and then but if you know me and follow RBtWBC than I'm sure you won't be surprised to find out that a Brother is most likely to appear in my dreams. Namely; Vishous from J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I've gone to bed thinking of him as hard as I could just to force myself to have dreams of him. LoL
Thanks for the fun interview, Selena!
