Book Blogger Interview: Riverina Romantics

Where are you from?

I live in regional NSW, Australia with my two children and husband.

Were you a big reader as a child?

Not really. The only books I remember loving as a child were the Tomorrow When the War Began series. I detested reading the necessary books for English studies.

What made you decide to start a book blog?

When my first son was born I started reading. Reading turned into reviewing on Goodreads, which then turned into the blog. I loved the social side of reviewing and chatting to people about books and the next step after Goodreads was my own blog.

What’s your biggest challenge as a book blogger?

Time. I’m also an author so finding time to read, review, write and promote – as well as fitting in work and family is very challenging.

Who are some of your favorite authors and why?

I love snarky sarcasm. So my favourite authors write with a heavy dose of it. They include: J.R. Ward, Kresley Cole and Gena Showalter. I am also in love with Cindy Gerard, Joey Hill and Lorelei James just to name a few.

What’s your biggest book/story related pet peeve?

I hate adverbs. Yes, I know. It is a weird peeve. And I can’t stand cheating from a hero or heroine – EVER.

If you could only read one genre for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

I only read romance, so I will always stick to that. But if I have to pick a genre within romance…Eepp…damn, I would probably say contemporary.
