Please welcome Jen, aka DevourerofBooks, to the blog! Jen is responsible for a great deal of books in my (Becca) TBR pile. Today Jen answers some questions about her blog and her reading habits.
NAME OF MY BOOK BLOG(S):
Thank you for joining us today, Jen! Remember to check out Jen's blogs, Devourer of Books, and Book Bloggers Recommend, and to leave a comment or question below!
NAME OF MY BOOK BLOG(S):
Devourer of Books (www.devourerofbooks.com), as well as Bloggers Recommend (www.bloggers-recommend.com)
I HAVE BEEN BLOGGING SINCE:
I started blogging at Devourer of Books in February of 2008; Bloggers Recommend was founded in the spring of 2013
GENRES COVERED MOST ON MY BLOG:
On Devourer of Books I primarily review upmarket commercial fiction, historical fiction, and women's fiction
MY EARLIEST MEMORY OF READING:
I remember being 4 or 5 and marching into where all the adults were sitting at a table. I had a book in my hand and proudly announced that I had just read it on my own. I just wish I still knew what that book was.
THE BOOK I HAVE RE-READ THE MOST TIMES:
Probably John Steinbeck's East of Eden, I used to read that yearly at most. It may be about time for a re-read.
MY BOOKSHELVES ARE:
Overflowing!
MY TBR LIST/PILE IS:
It is more of a mountain, really. Sadly by the time I have had a book for 6 months or so and not gotten to it, the chances of it ever being read begins to approach zero as it gets buried by all sorts of new stuff.
A BOOK THAT INTIMIDATES ME:
Infinite Jest, both the length and just David Foster Wallace intimidates me.
MY BOOK BLOG STANDS OUT FROM THE CROWD BECAUSE:
I do LOTS of projects. I have Audiobook Week every summer during June is Audiobook Month, I have a podcast that is currently on hiatus, I do an online book club periodically, and of course the newly launched Bloggers Recommend (www.bloggers-recommend.com), which aggregates blogger recommendations to create a monthly best-of list.
MY MUST-READ BLOGS (PLEASE LIMIT TO 3):
Linus's Blanket (linussblanket.com) (Nicole is my partner in crime), My Books. My Life (mybooksmylife.com), and That's What She Read (thatswhatsheread.net)
I'm not sure that this quiz is valid because there was a question that assumed it was possible for me to finish "last" book. The last one on that particular shelf, maybe, but last unread book in the house? That's a whole zombie apocalypse away.
Anyway, I'm an "All-Rounder," I fit equally into all four categories: involved, exacting, serial, eclectic.

Welcome Jen! I follow you on Twitter, but I just realized that I am not following your blog too. I need to fix that!
ReplyDeleteLove Bloggers Recommend, by the way! And, I'm a fan of That's What She Read as well!! :)
Jen is one of my favorite bloggers. I think we can all relate to the overflowing bookshelves. I bought a Billy bookcase from IKEA a few months ago, and amazingly, didn't have enough books to fill the top shelf. I was shocked. A library book sale took care of that. Now I need to go back to IKEA!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to know about the Billy Bookcases, Ruth. I am quite sure I can fill one, I'm buying two. They are such a deal and that you can add to them is so cool.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed getting to know about Jen's blog. I checked it out. We don't have much in commong, I review a different genre entirely, but you have some interesting features. I find it hard to keep up with them on my blog. You've degintely been blogging a lot longer than me. It shows in your accomplishments!
Thanks for sharing with us!
Heather
Fun to learn more about you!
