Featuring Brigida Alexandra from Read and Caffeinated

Today please welcome Brigida Alexandra, 

who blogs at Read and Caffeinated.

-------------------------

What's the meaning behind the name of your book blog?

The name is 'Read and Caffeinated', because it's about good reads and caffeinated is for a condition I personally see as energized and alive. So it's about to feel alive and the best of yourself by enjoying your reads, and also, a cup of caffeine-contained drink is a perfect addition to that.

How long have you been blogging?

About 4 years.

Tell us a bit about your book blog. What makes it unique?

Through my blog, I try to change the perspective of booklovers, that they're fun because they love and read books, but they're also more than that. I slip other cool stuffs which could make book lovers enjoy they time while reading books or even to look more fantastic.

Due to my heavy perceptions in reviewing books, I create still life photograph for the book cover for each blogpost since 2 months ago. So, usually bookbloggers only post the book cover, but I create it into still life theme to make it cuter. Feminine design and simple layout creates balance, so books are deemed as not just heavy stuff.

What genres do you write about most, and why?

I love erotica, psychological, history and other novels. I read without limits. Any important message I got from the books, I'd love to review.

What's your earliest memory of reading?

Pasung Jiwa by Okky Madasari, an indonesian novel and it takes quite long time to finish. I cried a lot during reading the book.

What was the first book you read over and over, or the book you've reread the most?

Fifty Shades of Grey.

Why not! =)
