Today please welcome Wendy, who blogs at Booklovercircumspect4.
What's the meaning behind the name of your book blog?
Well I have always used circumspect4 as my alias so I wanted to include that in my blog name so people would recognize that name. I added booklover as the first part because I'm a lover of books and I write about mostly romance so I thought it worked.
How long have you been blogging?
I have been blogging since July 2015, but I have been reviewing books for NetGalley, Amazon, and Goodreads for a lot longer.
What genres do you write about most, and why?
I like romance novels because everyone can relate to love in any language. I also like the diversity of the different character personas and the different romantic themes different authors utilize.
Every blogger feels pressure at some point. What's something you feel pressured to do or not do on your blog? How do you deal with it?
Honestly, I work best under pressure. I've always done my best reviews when I feel pressured. I think I allow myself to think more clearly and openly because I know it has to get done.
Writing in books: Yes or hell to the no?
Hell to the no, but I admit that I've done it before. Now with ereaders, it is so much easier to highlight and make a note.
What's your favorite place to read or blog?
I read from the comfort of my cozy bed every night. I can provide a photo later because I'm answering this from my cell phone.
What have you learned from other bloggers or your readers?
That each blogger has their own views, thoughts, opinions, and biases on books. Particularly, I had a co-worker refer a book to me that she thought was so funny and a dynamite read. So I read it and I absolutely hated it.
Do you judge a book by its cover, or its lover?
Yes, I do and I feel terrible about it. But, I normally will read more about the book and its reviews before totally passing on a book.
