Armchair BEA 2013: Introduction Post

1. Please tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? How long have you been blogging? Why did you get into blogging?

I'm Brittani. I've been blogging for almost 2 years now (it'll be 2 years in July). I got into blogging because I wanted a place to share my love of books with others. And also cuz I kinda needed a hobby besides you know... Doing nothing.

2. Where in the world are you blogging from? Tell a random fact or something special about your current location. Feel free to share pictures.

I am blogging from overheated, sunny Arizona! Lol. I'd add a picture but I think we all know what Cactus and Desert looks like! LOL!

3. Name your favorite blog(s) and explain why they are your favorite(s).

So I love a whole ton of blogs and their fellow bloggers, but it would literally take me forever to write all of them down for you all. So I'll give you three of my faves!

Babbling of a Bookaholic - Kylee is seriously one of the sweetest bloggers ever! She is just a ton of fun to hang out with (I met her in March!) And she writes really fantastic reviews!

Reading Angels - I love Angela! She is just full of awesome! And not to mention her new co-blogger Loretta is pretty awesome too!!!!! This has just always been one of my absolute favorite blogs! These girls always have such awesome content and fantastic reviews!!!

Refracted Light Reviews - I love Dani and Heather! These girls are awesome to talk! They also have really awesome content on their blog as well!!! 

I love all of you!!!! :D

4. What literary location would you most like to visit? Why? 

I think I've made this quite obvious over the past almost 2 years I've been blogging, but Paris!!!! I love Paris! Its so much fun to read about and its just so pretty when you think about it! And I've seriously got like an epic list of places that I wanna go not only in Paris but all around France (Thanks books!) LOL!

5. What is your favorite part about the book blogging community?

I love how friendly it is! I have made so many friends through book blogging! And I love how supportive everyone is. I've been dealing with some personal problems throughout the past year and I have got nothing but a huge amount of support from everyone. And that means so much to me! That's my favorite part of the blogging community! The friendship and support from all of you! You all are amazing! :)

Armchair BEA: Introduction Interview

So since I don't have to money to go to BEA I decided to participate in Armchair BEA! It's a way for those of us who can't actually go to New York to still participate! I look forward to meeting you all!

So today we are doing interviews! So let me tell you a little bit more about me!

Please tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? How long have you been blogging? Why did you get into blogging?

My name is Brittani! I'm 18, gonna be turning 19 in September (only a few more months away!) I'm hoping to start college in the Fall. I took a year off to decide what I wanted to do and I've finally decided on studying Communications and Writing! I'm an aspiring writer (why I wanna studying Writing) and if that fails I'd love to get a job in the Publishing Industry (why I wanna study Communications).
I've been blogging almost a year now. In a month (and a few days), July 7, I'll be celebrating my year blogoversary. I originally got into blogging for two reasons, one being that I absolutely love reading and I really wanted a place to share my thoughts on books! The second being that I had just gone through a break-up and I needed something to keep my mind off it, and since I was using reading as a way to preoccupy myself I thought a place to talk about what I was reading was a great way to do it!

What are you currently reading, or what is your favorite book you have read so far in 2012?

I am currently reading Monument 14 by Emmy Laybourne and A Temptation of Angels by Michelle Zink!
My favorite book I've read in 2012 so far would have to be Insurgent by Veronica Roth (which I make really obvious) so, if you want something besides the obvious I'd have to go with The Statistical Probability of Love At First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith! That story was absolutely adorable!

Tell us one non-book-related thing that everyone reading your blog may not know about you.

Do we have to keep it at one? Cuz I'd love to share a little more than one thing about myself! Lets see my favorite bands are Escape The Fate and Bullet For My Valentine. I love to bake (brownies, cakes, cookies, you name it). And I was a choir girl in high school! Unless people have visited my personal blog nobody in the blogging world knows that. I was an Alto and really good one at that though I have to range to do Soprano also. :D

What is your favorite part about the book blogging community? Is there anything that you would like to see change in the coming years?

My favorite part of the book blogging community is the people!!! Ever since I started blogging I have made so many friends in other bloggers and it has made my life so much better! I never expected to meet so many amazing people throughout the world through my blog. Right off the top of my head there isn't anything I can think of that I'd like to see change but if I think of anything I'll come add it

Have your reading tastes changed since you started blogging? How?

They have. I used to only read specific kinds of books even within Young Adult. But since starting my blog my tastes in books have really opened up (like I read all types of genre's in YA) and I've also got into Adult books as well!
