Hi Mimi–Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
I am a 28 year old mother to a little 2.5 year old dude and a wife to a wonderful hubby of 4 years. I have had a passion for reading since I was a little girl and discovered Baby-Sitter’s Club which lead me to Goosebumps (I am one of the few girls who actually LIKES scary stories) and then my sister got me into Sweet Valley High. Right after highschool though I started working full time and going to school part time so I took a very long break from reading and started getting back into it about 2 years ago right around the time I *finally* graduated. Just last year I discovered the book blogging world and was really enjoying it so I started my blog; So Many Books, So Little Time which is the perfect title for me as I now have a lot of catching up to do!
I was a Sweet Valley High fan myself. Was pretty upset that my parents hadn’t planned better and made me a twin. Can you tell us a little bit more about your blog? What are you reading? Do you have a rating system? Have you had to give a bad review?
I basically follow the Goodreads.com rating system; a scale of 1-5. Hmm, you just gave me an idea to put my rating system up on the blog. I do write a review for every book I read even if I didn’t like the book, and I am not a picky reader. Yes, a few [bad reviews]. It is a little hard but I’d rather be honest with myself and others who are following me.
I tend to favor YA and paranormal romance but I read anything! Ok expect maybe cheesy Harlequin Romance (you know the type). I’m currently reading Lover Unleashed which is book 9 of the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series by J.R Ward. Love those books!
I love it when I can spark a good idea!
There are lots of book review blogs out there today and the number is growing. (in my humble opinion-this is a great thing) What suggestions would you give a newbie blogger, just getting started and what do you think sets your blog apart from the other bloggers out there?
I was also wondering, since there are more bloggers out there than ever before, what does a blogger need to do to stand out? How do they get followers interested and how do they keep them coming back?
I’m curious, who is your audience at this time? Teens, Bloggers, Adults, Writers? And is that who you intended to blog for?
I think most of my bloggers are those who share an interest in YA. I actually read all types of books so I love to find new followers who love different genre’s because then I can get great recommendations but I do tend to favor YA 🙂
Okay–I’ll give you that one. Excellent choice. Mimi, thanks so much for stopping by for an interview. Don’t forget to check out Mimi’s wonderful blog So Many Books, So Little Time. You can also hook up with her on Goodreads and Twitter.
